Gabriella awoke on the couch the next day hearing a very loud sound coursing through the living room. She opened her eyes and saw Troy watching a re-run of a basketball game, not even caring that she was asleep, or that the volume was up to 40.

"What are you doing?" Gabriella asked, standing up and breathed a sigh of relief as she felt no pain in her stomach.

"What does it look like Geeky.. I'm watching some T.V" Troy answered back, not once looking at her. She flinched at the word Geeky.

"Well did it ever occur to you that I was asleep?"

"Whatever Montez" He said, throwing popcorn at her while she was walking away and laughed.

Gabriella didn't say anything and just flicked the popcorn away from her and walked up to her room and saw her phone flashing, indicating that she got a text.

Wanna meet at park 2day? xTayx

Sure, let me get ready. Meet me there in 20. xGabx

She set her phone down and got dressed. Gabriella grabbed her purse after making sure she had everything in it. She walked down stairs and saw Troy at the counter.

Troy heard shuffling and saw Gabriella standing at the doorway. He never really took notice of how she looked before because they never got up at the same time-except for today-and because she was always "Geek" to him. But today, he actually saw her. How beautiful she looked. How her hair cascaded down her back or how natural she was. Not like those fake girls he always went after. "Holy shit! I did not just think of her that way! Snap out of it Troy!" Troy thought. He slapped himself.

Gabriella looked at him like he was crazy and shook her head.

"Wow. Geeky Gabriella is that you? Under that mask?" Troy taunted.

"I'm leaving" Gabriella shot back.

"Like I care" Troy went back to the magazine he was reading.

Gabriella arrived at the park and her saw only friend Taylor sitting at one of the benches by the fountain.

"Hey Tay" Gabriella greeted and gave her a hug.

"Hey Gabs" Taylor replied as she returned the hug.

"So whats up? Why are we here?" Gabriella asked.

"Nothing, I didn't hear from you at all yesterday and you didn't show up in class either. I was just wondering if you were ok"

Gabriella stayed silent, not wanting to explain to her what happened yesterday. Taylor noticed her friend's silence and knew right away.

"Oh, sweetie. Troy and his friends got to you again didn't they." Taylor said, enveloping her arms around Gabriella. She merely nodded into her friends shoulder.

"Gabriella you need to tell somebody"

"No! Tay, they already do this stuff to me at school for no reason. If I tell the principal, they will have a reason and it will get worse. And If the beatings get worse at school, imagine what Troy would do to me at home when he's really mad" Gabriella protested as she pulled away from her friends' hug.

"Maybe they will stop Gabriella! Maybe they will come to their senses when they get in trouble!"

Gabriella scoffed, "Do you notice how many Maybe's there are in your sentences Taylor? They wont stop. I know them. I know what they do to me."

"I'm just trying to help you. I'm trying to prevent you from getting hurt again" Taylor said.

"Well, schools almost over. That's when Troy leaves for college. I'm ok. I can handle it, Tay. I have been for a year now"

They sat in silence staring at the fountain. Lost in each other's thoughts.

Meanwhile at the house with Troy…

He was walking to his room when a certain door was wide open. It was Gabriella's. He smiled menacingly as he walked around her room, trying to find something to use against her, then, there it was. On her desk was a book and on it, it said Gabriella Marie Montez's Diary. He walked towards it, slowly, like it was something that needed to be worshipped upon. Troy silently opened it and found Gabriella's neat handwriting on it. He thought it was pretty boring,it all about her life.. yada yada. Just when he was about to close it. One entry caught his eye.

Dear Diary,

Today I went to the park with Mama. It was fun spending time with her cause she's never home. But then I had this Indian spaghetti thing which had peanuts and I had no clue. I am allergic to peanuts, no scratch that dea-- wait. Sorry diary got to go. Moms calling. Ill tell you the rest tomorrow.

x-Gabriella

Troy smirked. He never even bothered thinking about what that cut off word was "dea--". All he thought about was tricking Gabriella into eating some peanuts. Troy didn't really know how to cook. But he did know how to make eggs. He smiled and put her diary back. He was going to make eggs with peanuts. (A/N:Ewww! But all for the sake of the story) And he had to do it before she got home. So he went downstairs to the kitchen and made his dish, leaving it on the counter and waited in the living room till she got home.

Gabriella came home from the park. Her head was spinning and she was hungry. She saw some scrambled eggs on the counter and made her way towards it.

Troy heard the door close and he hid behind the sofa and watched her make her way towards the scrambled eggs. He tried to hold in laughter as she dropped her fork and covered her mouth. His laughter was soon silenced when she started choking and dropped to her knees.

Troy's eyes widened and ran over to Gabriella. He put his hand on her back.

"Gabriella.. Come one stop playing" He said. He didn't hear a reply as she stopped choking and dropped to the floor. Panick arose in Troy and he ran to the phone and dialed 911.

"911 Please state your emergency"

"I have a girl here and I gave her some peanuts. She just started choking and then passed out. I need help I don't know what to do" Troy's voice was filled with horror and panick as he spoke.

"Ok sir give me your address"

"516 Holter road" (A/N: Made up)

"An ambulance is on its way sir"

Troy hung up and picked up Gabriella bridal style as he heard the siren. The paramedics rushed in and took Gabriella from his arms and put her on a gurney. She was rushed to the ambulance and Troy joined because the paramedic was asking him questions.

"Sir how did this happen?" Dr. Brown asked.

"I don't know. I gave her peanuts and she ate them and she started choking then she passed out" Troy explained. Leaving out the fact that he made the eggs on purpose.

"Ok sir. When we get to the hospital I'm gonna need you to wait in the waiting room" explained . Troy nodded weakly,feeling worried. Worried that Gabriella was gonna die. Worried is he was gonna turn out a murderer. He watched as the doctor examined her. Her frail, limp body, her pale face.

Troy should've read the next diary entry. Then he wouldn't have made the eggs. He would've left her alone. The next diary entry said….

Dear Diary,

Anyways, I am DEATLY allergic to peanuts. I was rushed to Emergency Room and was lucky I was alive. I had to stay there for a week, Taylor and my mom being the only visitors. It was scary. Everything was so dark…

Well, I have to go. Be back later…

x-Gabriella

Oh My God… Troy is such an asshole. Don't worry though. Things will get better cause Troy has to be the one taking care of Gabriella. ;) I wonder how that will go…

Anyways. Hope you enjoyed. Please Review and tell me what you thought of it.
