Chapter 2
A shrill scream echoes though the house. At the sound Troy and Trey's heads snapped up, looking at each other. Troy was the first to react. He leaped out of his seat and over the coffee table and took off running into the hall and up the stairs that would lead him to Gabriella's room.
Trey knowing Troy would handle the situation headed to the kitchen to get a glass of water for his sister leaving the other guys in the lounge confused.
"Brie," whispers Troy edging into Gabriella room so he wouldn't startle her.
"Troy," cries Gabriella sitting up in her bed.
Her covers were pooled around her waist, her body drenched in sweat and shaking. Tears were streaming down her face.
In one stride Troy next to her and wrapping her in his arms.
"Bad dream?" whispers Troy
Gabriella nods unable to speak of the nightmare that had shaken her so much.
"He's not here Brie and he can't hurt you," whispers Troy as he rocks Gabriella back and forth in effort to console her.
For the rest of that day Gabriella wouldn't let Troy go very far. But he wouldn't dream of leaving her in the state she was in, the nightmare had really shaken her leaving her very vulnerable.
However that night was going to prove tricky. Gabriella didn't want to sleep alone she wanted Troy. But Troy had to go home and even though she knew he would be back in half an hour, she didn't feel safe. And she only felt save when half an hour later Troy slipped into bed besides her and wrapped her in his arms. She then felt secure and safe enough to let sleep take over her.
The next morning, Gabriella found herself being shaken awake.
"What time is it," she mumbled
"6," whispers Troy
"I don't have to be up till 7," yawns Gabriella snuggling back down into the comfort of her bed.
"Yeah but your hair really needs washing," says Troy
"I wanna sleep" whines Gabriella
"Hmm tell you what. I run you a bath, you can sit in it in your pyjamas and I'll wash your hair for you," suggests Troy
"Sounds good," mutters Gabriella going back to sleep.
Troy slips out of bed to go and run the bath and minutes later Gabriella feels herself being lifted up and placed in the inviting hot water, her eyelids still shut.
"Brie your going to have to give me a little help here," whispers Troy "You need to hold yourself,"
Making herself wake up, Gabriella sits up allowing Troy to do the job of washing her hair with both hands.
10 minutes later and the task is completed, Troy soon has Gabriella swathed in a towel and Gabriella is soon shooing him out of the window so she can strip, dry and dress.
Later that day.
The sun shone down, laughter filled the air. The group- Gabriella, Channel, Ayesha, Alesha, Alyssa and Lacey. Tony and his mates Matt, Mark, Luke and Joel. Plus Trey and Troy plus there mates Josh, Harrison, Harry, Louis and Nicky were all at the park enjoying this beautiful weather. The girls were sunning it up, gossiping, chatting and checking out the boys. While the guys were playing a friendly game of basketball juniors verse seniors.
Gabriella was dressed in a black crop top, dark blue denim short shorts, white blouse tied under her chest and black flip flops with her hair down.The girls were in similar attire crop tops, tank tops and short shorts with sandals adoring their feet. The boys were decked out in board shorts and tank top as well, though some of them were shirtless, having stripped and dropped their shirts near the girls.
Half way though the afternoon a man wander over to them.
"Look who's all grown up," he sneers he eyes travelling up and down Gabriella's body.
Gabriella heart started racing, as she locked eyes with the man.
Ayesha who in a spilt second had decided this man was worth talking to and good enough looking opens her mouth.
"Hmm who are you?" she asks
"Gabriella's father," answers the man
"Sorry excuse for a father," says Gabriella grabbing a t-shirt from the pile next to her.
She notices it to be Troy's a slips it on, standing up, grabbing her things.
She turns and runs to the basketball court, her heart still pounding as she hears thudding footsteps behind her. The girls and him.
"What's up?" asks Tony coming over
Trey and Troy look over and upon seeing Mr Montez go and stand in front of Gabriella.
"What do you want," snarls Trey
"Just wanted to say hi," says their father
Troy turns round.
"Did he hurt you?" he asks
Gabriella shakes her head.
"He's not going to," he whispers
"I asked you 4 years ago to leave and I'll ask you again leave this town and don't come back," says Trey
"Man of the house now are you?" asks their dad
"You were never man of the house. You were never a man. No man hits their wife or their daughter," states Trey
Troy can hear Gabriella's breathing getting faster and shallower a sign she was going to hyperventilate she didn't leave at once.
"I'm getting her out of here," whispers Troy to Trey
Trey turns round and sees Gabriella is on the verge of a panic attack.
During the encounter the whole group are watching these four.
"Brie," whispers Troy
Gabriella eyes snap to look at Troy.
"Let's get you out of here," he whispers
Gabriella nods and tries to move but her feet seem glued to the ground.
Troy sighs and scoops her up, cradling her to his chest.
This starts to calm her down, but they both know she won't be completely calm unless she is away from the man she used to call father.
Focusing on Troy's breathing, she tries to breath in and out at the same to in order to calm down. It works and as they draw up at their houses, Gabriella is feeling a lot better.
Shakily she gets out of the truck and starts to head towards her house.
"Where do you think your going?" asks Troy
"My house," replies Gabriella
"Your coming in mine until we know he's gone," says Troy
Gabriella nods, knowing she probably couldn't and probably shouldn't be alone right now.
They headed into the Bolton household and up to Troy's room where Troy once again cradle Gabriella as she drifted off to sleep.
