Fighting This Together

Chapter One

Gabriella Montez was beyond terrified. She could hardly believe this was happening to Troy again and to her. It was just a horrible nightmare that the man who had kidnapped Troy a few months ago, Trevor Mitchell, had returned to kidnap Troy again and that he had taken her also. This just couldn't be real, she didn't want to believe this real even though it was.

At that moment she was blindfolded, gagged, and her hands and feet were tied. Her hands were tied extremely tight to the side of a van with rope. It was difficult to move around. She moaned as she felt a wave of pain rush through her. She absolutely hated that she couldn't see, scream out loud, or move around much. She had been desperately struggling to free herself for what felt like a couple of hours but was having no luck at all. She just had to free herself and try and help Troy escape with her. Yet it felt impossible.

She had no idea where this van was heading to and that was horrifying to her. What the hell was going to happen to her and Troy? It scared her to death not knowing that answer.

She was insanely worried about Troy. She knew that he was tied up and in the van with her. She could also sense that he had been knocked out before she had gotten dragged into the van. He was still unconscious and it at had been a good couple of hours since they had been trapped in here. She had hardly heard a sound from him and hadn't felt any movement coming from him which worried her terribly.

She just wished that she could see him as she hadn't actually seen him since before the kidnappings happened. Troy had been kidnapped and tied up in the van first, then Trevor had kidnapped her and he had thrown her in afterwards. He had blindfolded and gagged her before she even gotten into the van so she hadn't even seen Troy yet and it was killing her that she couldn't check to see how he was.

Oh God, she just hated that this was happening!

She couldn't stop shaking like crazy and she couldn't stop crying. She tried to control her panicking but that was impossible.

More than anything she wished they could get out of here. More than anything she wished that this nightmare wasn't happening to them at all.

She struggled for awhile longer to untie the ropes but found it to be hopeless. She could feel more tears falling from her eyes as she felt incredibly frustrated.

Suddenly, she heard a familiar moan coming from the other side of the van and she looked that way in alarm. Oh God, she knew that moan belonged to Troy! It was the first moan she had heard from him and she felt relieved to hear it. She listened to see if Troy made any more noises but all that followed was silence. She sighed heavily. Oh, It was just driving her crazy that she couldn't even see him and she couldn't check to see if he was okay.

She frantically tried to scream again as she badly wanted to but the gag was preventing her from screaming loudly.

She absolutely hated feeling so trapped and helpless.

Oh, she had to get them out of here somehow! She had to do something!

Suddenly she started to pray, as there wasn't much else she could do while being trapped here.

She prayed that they would make it out of this alive.

Because she was honestly not so sure if they would or not.

"Chad, I can't help but feel worried," Taylor Mckessie was frowning as they realized that Troy and Gabriella were not in the Bolton's home like they said they would be for the evening. Taylor's boyfriend Chad Danforth had called Troy earlier asking if they would be here and Troy had told them that they would be. Yet they had come over to find nobody home, which was odd. They had been here for awhile.

Chad had a worried expression on his face as well, "It is odd that they aren't here. I wonder where they are."

Taylor gazed at him for a second, but then she started to head back towards the kitchen and Chad followed her. She froze suddenly as she noticed something lying on the ground.

"What is it Taylor?" Chad asked curiously.

Taylor then picked up the object she had found on the ground, she held it up and studied it, her eyes suddenly grew wide, "This is Gabriella's necklace."

Chad glanced briefly at it and immediately recognized it, he looked at Taylor in surprise, "That's the necklace that Troy gave her with the T on it."

"It's broken," Taylor shakily spoke all of a sudden. She gazed worriedly up at Chad, "This just doesn't feel right. Gabriella never takes this necklace off! She is always wearing it! I don't like the fact that this is broken."

"I don't either," Chad stared at the necklace, "And I don't like the fact that they aren't here when they should be. You don't suppose something has happened do you?"

Taylor swallowed, yet she looked directly at Chad as she spoke, "I can't help but wonder if something has happened." They both stared at each other for a couple of minutes; they were both starting to get really worried about Troy and Gabriella.

"Oh God, you don't think-" Chad started to say, but suddenly the door opened, causing them to both jump.

"Thank God!" Taylor exclaimed, she expected to see Troy and Gabriella at the door, only to be disappointed to realize that it was Jack and Laura Bolton at the door. She was shocked however to notice how upset Laura looked. She looked like she had been shaking and crying for quite awhile.

"Hey, what is wrong?" Chad nervously asked them.

"Where is my son?" Laura managed to say through her tears; Jack was holding onto her, "I need to make sure my son is okay!"

Chad and Taylor just stared nervously at each other, neither not really sure what to say.

"Laura just got very concerned all of a sudden that something bad happened to Troy, and she started to get really upset," Jack explained, he gazed at Chad and Taylor in concern, he looked a little shaken up as well, "Where- where is he? Where exactly is my son?"

"We," Chad trembled a little as he spoke, "We don't know. We think something has happened to him also," then he said what he had been afraid had happened, "Actually, I think Trevor has done something to him again."
