Lost From Her Love

by HSMFan2006

Gabriella and Troy, now married, have a big fight, ending in Gabriella leaving the house to think, where she is kidnapped, and abused for 5 long years. When Troy finds her, everyone except him believes she is too far gone to go back to her normal self. Can he be the one to change what everyone thinks?

1. Regretting it All

Troy and Gabriella had been the 1 couple that everyone knew about since high school, and their friends, and basically everyone else, agreed with that. It only made sense for them to get married 2 years after high school, without any regrets. However, recently, they've been having some issues; nothing too big, but over time, it has gotten worse.

"Gabriella, I just don't think it's in the cards right now!", Troy said, getting somewhat angered. Troy only used her full name when he was angry.

"Troy, can you at least think about it? I never stopped you from persuing basketball as a career, since I knew you loved it. All I'm asking for is the same." Gabriella was now ready to cry, but held it in.

"Well, maybe I cant handle it, Gabriella!" Troy went up to their bedroom, and slammed the door. Gabriella couldn't hold back the tears anymore, she started sobbing. This was the third fight this week, she needed to go for a walk and figure things out. She left the house trying to keep her sobbing at a minimum. It was poruing outside, but Gabriella couldn't care less right now. She walked out of the house, not sure what to do. She suddenly heard footsteps behind her, way too close then a regular person just walking behind her. She was about to turn around, but before she could, she got hit with a bat, and put in a car. Before she got to the car, she let out 1 scream, right in front of her house. Troy looked out the window to see Gabriella being pulled into a car. He tried to run outside to save her, but he was too late. He was frozen in the rain, just left with the thought of never seeing his wife, his true love, his reason to live, Gabriella, ever again. He stood in the rain for an hour, staring at the spot where the car Gabriella was shoved in. He was getting soaked, but he couldn't care less. All he cared about now was Gabriella.

Gabriella woke up in a dark room, with a lamp, a faucet, and a old matress. She was too scared to think anything of it. All she wanted was Troy, but she knew that wasn't happening right now. All she could do now was cry hysterically on the floor. Suddenly, the door opened, and Gabriella looked up, to see a man in all black, greet her as if he knew her.

"We've been waiting for this day, Gabriella".

Gabriella began to speak, "Where a-"

Before she could finish, the man picked her up and threw her against the wall. He suddenly yelled, "YOU DON'T SPEAK UNLESS YOUR TOLD TO, GOT IT?!" Gabriella quietly nodded, and began to sob. The man then picked her up and cut her arm with a knife, Gabriella screaming when he did it. He said loudly, "Tears are for wusses, which you aren't, got that?" He threw her to the ground and left. Once she knew the man was out of earshot, she began crying again. She hoped she'd see Troy again soon, if ever. Troy is all she wanted, and if he didn't come soon, she wasn't sure she'd be around much longer, with this type of abuse.
