G: How could he do this to me?!
Gabriella ran through Troy's street, crying her eyes out. The memories kept playing over and over again.
G: I thought it could work, but he took it too far. He's only interested in one thing… Like any other guy. They're all the same.
Gabriella kept running and jumped on a bus who just stopped. She wanted to get away from him… As far as she could.
G: He just wants to hurt me… Like the others did…
She jumped off the bus and ran home, not stopping running for fear that he was behind her. She fumbled around in her bag and pulled out the key, glancing around behind her in the dark night, and rushed in the house.
She came in and saw her dad stumbling over to her.
'D—Dad…' Gabriella said shocked, knowing what was going to happen. She saw he was holding a bottle of whisky.
'Where the fuckk have you been?!' He asked.
'I—I was just tutoring.' She said putting her bag down carefully.
'That's bullshit! Are you lying to me, you stupid bitch? You spend my money again!' He yelled threatening.
'No, dad, I swear… I was tutoring.' She said. She could feel how her hands started trembling.
'THEN WHERE DID MY MONEY GO?! DID IT JUST WALK AWAY?!' He yelled straight to her face.
G: No, you gambled it…
'I'm not sure where it went.' She whispered.
'Yes, you do! Because YOU spent it!' He yelled grabbing her throat.
'I don't know where it went but I'll give you my money. I'm sorry…' Gabriella said gasping for air.
'DO YOU DID DO IT! You even admit it, you slut!' He said getting closer.
'Dad, please…' Gabriella said closing her eyes and winced.
'Shut up Maria!' He yelled.
G: Maria? Mom?
'Dad, it's me… Gabriella.' She said softly.
'You're just a worthless piece of shit!' He said and hit her across the face.
Gabriella's first tear rolled down her cheek and clutched her burning, red cheek.
'You don't deserve anything! You stay away from my wallet! YOU HEAR ME?!' Her dad yelled and dropped her to the ground.
Gabriella looked up and nodded, scared.
'This was your last warning. Stay away from my money or you'll get it.' He said. He grabbed her arm, twisted it and threw her across the room. He ran a hand through his hair disoriented and stumbled up the stairs.
'Go to hell.' He murmured.
Gabriella wiped her lip and saw blood dropping of her fingers. Her eye was going to be black tomorrow. Gabriella sighed and went to bed.
The next morning.
Gabriella got out of her bed carefully. She wandered into the bathroom and stood, staring at her reflection in the mirror. Red cheek, bruised arms, legs, she just looked awful. She turned her head away, hating herself.
G: This is all my fault. I never should have signed up to tutor Troy…
She gently pulled off her pyjamas and carefully stepped in the shower, letting the icy water stream over her body, hoping it would soothe the burning wounds.
G: I wish that the water could wash the pain away…
At school.
Troy was sitting at the fountain with his friends, looking miserable.
'OI Bolton!' Tyson said.
Troy ignored him and kept looking into space.
'Bolton!!' He said again.
'What?' He asked turning his head Tyrons way.
'Party Friday night! You there?' He asked.
'You better be!' Victoria said.
'Yeah, babe! You haven't been out with us for ages!' Tia said sitting next to him.
T: Is she really ignoring the thing I said to her the other day?!
'I don't know.' Troy just answered.
'Come on! Like you have something better to do?!' Harry said raising an eyebrow.
'It's the party of the year… Everybody's counting on you being there!' Tyson said.
'Whatever!' Troy said looking back into space.
'Is that a yes?!' Sienna asked smiling.
'Yes SIENNA! I'm going! Are you all done fucking harassing me now?!' Troy asked.
Troy saw how Brandon eyed Tyson, giving him a 'what the fuck'- look.
'There'll be a lot of fresh meat at the party, Bolton…' Tyson said trying to get the 'old' Troy back.
'Don't talk about girls like that, Tyson.' He said.
Tyson: Who the fuck is this guy?!
'And sorry to burst your little bubble over there, but the virgin Mary isn't invited.' Harry said.
'That's not her name, fuckwit! Stop calling her that!' Troy said defensive.
'Some one's a bit touchy.' Victoria said rolling her eyes.
'Is Troy whipped?' Brandon asked teasing.
'It doesn't even matter. Nothing's going to happen.' Troy said looking down.
'You mean, she's out of the picture?' Sienna asked glancing at Tia who was smiling to herself.
'yeah…' Troy said thinking about what happened the day before.
A week went by. Troy was back to hanging with his group not bothering Gabriella. But he couldn't help to shoot a glance to the tree she sat by whenever he walked past. Gabriella slumped back into her usual routine, her routine before Troy appeared. She didn't sit by the tree anymore, for fear to see Troy. Her father was worse then ever and her bulimia was gradually getting worse. She skipped meals, and when she did eat, she threw it up.
Friday night at the party.
Tia was dancing with Troy but Troy didn't even look at her. He was thinking about Gabriella and wondering what she was doing right now. Tia slowly leaned over so her lips were next to his ear.
'I always knew she was just a phase… I'm always going to be your number one, right Troy?' She asked above the music. Troy pushed her away.
'No, Tia! We both know that's not true! YOU were a phase… No, not the phase… A mistake.' He said to her.
Troy walked over to the bar, getting a drink. Thinking about how much he wanted Gabriella to be his. He wanted to make her happy.
'Hey…' A girl said smiling.
'Hi.' He said not looking at her.
'My name's Nina. You want to dance?' She asked.
'Sure.' Troy said sighing.
Nina took his arms and had to pull him on the dancefloor.
**
'GET OFF! STAY AWAY! LEAVE ME ALONE!' Gabriella screamed.
**
T: She doesn't even want to be with me.
He looked down at the girl in front if him.
T: You've got a hot girl right in front of you and all you're thinking about is some weird nerd… Whet the fuck is wrong with you?!
Troy's hands touched Nina's belly and he started to feel her up. Soon, Nina took Troy's hand and leaded him upstairs. Troy found a room and kicked the door open. He pushed the girl up against the wall and kissed her roughly and hungrily.
**
All Gabriella's muscles relaxed and she put her
hand on the back of Troy's neck,
deepening the kiss hungrily.
**
Nina put her hands under Troy's shirt and ripped it off. Troy lifted Nina up and wrapped her legs around his torso. He carried her to the bed, threw her on it and jumped on top of her.
**
Put a
hand on the curve of Gabriella's back and gently tilted her down
on
the cough and lay on top of her.
**
Troy ripped of Nina's dress.
With Gabriella.
Gabriella lay on her bed, putting a bandage on the cut where her father smashed his empty whiskybottle. She winced when the pain shot through her. Afterwards she cleaned everything up and made sure she didn't leave any blood.
G: thank god, he passed out early tonight. I don't know what he would've done with me…
She got up silently and walked into the kitchen making as little noise as possible. She saw a bag of fastfood on the counter. She picked it up, grabbed a bucket of chips, and shoved them into her mouth just swallowing them. When they are all down she suddenly ran to the sink and threw up for the third time that day. She slide down against the wall next to the sink and cried.
**
'I can't stop thinking about you… That's the problem.' Troy said getting closer.
**
G: I'm just a piece of meat. I'm not good enough for anybody… I'm just not good enough…
A few days later.
Troy looked over at the empty desk where Gabriella usually sat. Where was she? She hasn't been to school for over a week and Troy knew something was wrong. His mind was as usual, wandering to Gabriella and as hard as he tried it was impossible to think of something else. The tutoring session flashed across his mind but something else interrupted his thoughts.
'You up for a party tomorrow?' Tia asked sitting on Troy's desk.
'Whatever.' He said through his teeth.
'I'll pick something special to wear, just for you.' She smiled seductively.
'You know that what you wear won't change a thing Tia.' Troy said and turned away.
Tia sighed and walked to her seat.
'Dude! What was that all about?!' Tyson asked leaning over towards Troy.
'Nothing new. The chick just won't leave me alone.' Troy said.
'Fucking hell man! You've got one of the hottest girls in the school, right in front of you and yet, you reject her?!' Tyson said getting frustrated.
'She's just too clingy.' Troy said.
'SO?! You look good together! King and queen of the school!' Tyson said.
'And what if I don't want to be ' the king'?' Troy said rolling his eyes.
'Nothing you can do about it, man. You're Troy Bolton.' Tyson said.
'Then what if I don't want her to be my queen? What if I want somebody else?' Troy asked
'Depends… Who else?' Tyson asked careful.
Troy just looked away, knowing he would be better off if he didn't answer that question but was too late.
'You better not be talking about Virgin Mary!' Tyson said.
Troy had to clench his fists to stop himself from punching Tyson.
'Troy! You can have any girl on campus, even in this town. And you want… her?!' Tyson asked In disbelieve.
Troy didn't respond, still stopping himself of doing something he might regret.
'You used to be the man on campus, you were with 2 or 3 chicks at a time and now you're just after e nerd! You're not my mate anymore.' Tyson said.
'Tyson, just because I want Gabriella doesn't mean we can't be mates.' Troy said.
'Whatever. But we used to have fun, the old Troy Bolton and me. Parties, drinks, babes, fast cars… We lived the life.' Tyson said hardly.
Troy looked back down, pressing his lips together.
'Just give it a try again, once you get back out, you'll realize what you've been missing.' Tyson tried to convince him.
'I don't know.' Troy said.
'Okay, look, Troy. Tomorrow, there's this party, there'll e plenty of girls for you to choose from.'
'What?' Troy asked.
'You can take your pick… 1, 2, 3… even 4, if you want…' Tyson said smiling.
'Tyson…'
'Come on Troy! You know how it goes. You get what you want from the bitch then you dump her the day after. Remember the aim of the game, you've got to tap that ass.' Tyson said.
T: Tyson's right. You've got to get over her! She's a fucking nerd, and she's got a hell of alot of issues that you don't want to deal with.
'Bring it on. I'm in.' Troy said smirking.
Saturday night.
Troy walked in with Brandon, Tyson, Harry, Sienna and Tia.
'TROY BOLTEN HAS ARRIVED!!' Tyson yelled over the crowd.
Everybody stopped dancing and looked at Troy. Tia's face changed when she saw all the girls around Troy, but Troy just opened his arms and hugged every girl he saw.
One hour later.
Troy was dancing with two girls and had his arms around them. He rubbed his front against their backs to mean them moan.
'You're right, man! This IS the life!' Troy yelled to Tyson.
'Welcome back, Bolton!' Tyson said and turned his attention back to his girl.
Troy's hands start wandering over the girls bodies.
'Who the fuck are those ugly sluts?' Tia asked Sienna, looking at Troy with his two chicks.
'Jennifer Williams and Hayley Harrop.' Sienna answered.
'I don't care! Sluts!' Tia said.
'Are you jealou--?' Sienna asked.
'NO!' Tia said.
'Then Why--.' Sienna started
'Troy's mine! Everybody knows it! He should do that with me!' Tia said fuming.
Back with Troy.
Troy smashed a bottle and everybody clapped when he lead the two girls upstairs.
The next morning.
Troy woke up and saw the two girls still asleep. He gently got up and threw his clothes on and walked away without glancing back.
With Gabriella.
Gabriella pulled back from the sink and whipped her mouth. She tiptoed back to her bedroom and curled up into a ball on her bed. She rubbed her face spreading her salt tears all over her face and felt them sting her cuts. She looked down her bed and saw all bloodstains, old and new.
G: Why did you have to notice me, Troy Bolton? Why did you have to care? Why did you have to hurt me? Could you not have just left me alone, like everybody else? It's you… You ruined everything. I was getting through life one step at the time before you and your huge ego entered the picture and shook thing up for me.
***
'You're the most beautiful girl I've ever seen.' Troy said.
***
Gabriella digged her nails into her arms and clenched her fists as the veins started to show.
G: Forget him, Gabriella… He's already forgotten you…
Gabriella sat up and saw herself in the reflection of the mirror. She saw the huge gash on her forehead and many other cuts across her face from her dad's glass bottle. She sighed and lay back down and cried.
G: Mom, I'm not going to make it…
