Chapter Nine- Hello, Pretty Boy
Troy clung on to Nick's hand, while Nick didn't show any signs of frightened-ness.
The two walked towards Gabriella's sobs, and the three mad guys' voices.
The closer they got, the more scared Troy would get.
Troy could tell that the walls, floor, and somehow the ceiling, had been once drenched with blood.
Troy shuddered from the thought of just a drop of blood.
Troy saw Paul rounding the corner.
Nick saw too.
They quickly went into the closest room.
They let out a sigh of relief when they heard the footsteps fade, then die altogether.
"Troy? Nick?"
Troy and Nicholas whirled around to see pale and extra thin Gabriella Montez.
Nick ran into his mother's open arms.
Troy just stood there awkwardly.
"I'm so sorry, baby," Gabriella cried.
When the two broke apart, Gabriella's eyes drifted on to Troy.
They weren't her old glittering eyes.
They were sad.
Gabriella smiled at Troy, "You're getting better at Reading Between Lines."
Troy chuckled.
"Mommy?"
Gabriella tore her eyes away from Troy and on to Nick.
Nick hugged her small fragile body, "I missed you, mommy."
Gabriella closed her eyes, and wrapped her arms around Nick, "I missed you too, sweetie."
Everything was silent.
But it was good silence.
Suddenly, the door slammed, and Troy felt cold metal on the side of his head.
Gabriella's eyes immediately popped open, and released Nick.
"Hello, pretty boy."
Troy turned his head slightly to see Tim holding a gun at his head with a smirk on his face.
Shit.
Not good.
