Chapter Four

I Love You

Gabriella sat there in shock, she couldn't make any words come out. A guy, a simple sweet guy like Troy wants to be Stella's Father? No Guy she ever been with never came this far. why did he wanna do this?

"Brie..." he spoke softly, she jumped, "uh..y-yeah..." she stammered.

"Brie, If that bothered you, I'm Sorr-" she Interupted him, "N-No, it's just..." she looked down at her hands in her lap. Troy covered her hands with his, "What Brie? you can tell me?" He looked into her eyes, she bit her bottom lip and sighed, "N-No guy has ever come this far...no one ever wanted to become her father...not even her Biological Father.." she sighed.

"Where is he?" Troy asked, he never really got the full story, only that he wasen't around, but why? with two girls like these?

she bit her lip, "A Year ago, I was walking home from the Libray, It was around Seven, so it was pretty dark. A Pick- Up Truck came to my side. I ignored it, and just kept walking." she took a deep breath, then continued, "He asked me if I went to his school, and I told him yes, and my name. he then introduced himself to me then asked me If I wanted a ride home...It told him no thanks cause it wasen't that for, and he said that I could get hurt out there, so I just gave in and let him take me home." she stopped, tears were forming in her eyes, then she continued, "It was only about 5 minutes later I realized that we passed my house, I told him that we did, he wouldn't answer so I shouted his name... he then pulled over and got ontop of me, and started kissing me. I yelled get off me, and he wouldn't listen, he just kept kissing me... " tears were rolling down her cheeks.

Troy blinked, he couldn't believe a guy did this to her.. he was angry at this guy.

"about 3 months later, after I was rapped, I found out I was pregnant with Stella...I decided to tell him since he was the father... he laughed at me and said that it was my problem...I was called a slut and whore for months..."

"what about your parents? didn't they help you?" he asked.

"My Mother, she told me to move here and get my own place to avoid being picked on...then I had Stella here..." Gabriella finished.

"I am so sorry brie..." he pulled her into a hug, "I promise you. that low life will never come near you or stella ever again...I promise.." he soothed her.

"You can't promise that.." she whispered.

"yes I can... I'm not letting him come near you...I love you Gabriella." he blurted out, her eyes widened. "W-What?" she hestitated, did she love him too?

"I-I Love you Gabriella. with all my heart...please..let me into your family, and be Stella's Father, and someday, your Husband..." He took both her hands, Gabriella didn't know what to say, so she just kissed him.

"I love you too Troy."
