Chapter 9: The Ex

Previous:

"It won't be her punishing you it would be me. And I would not be using beating as a form of punishment. Well at least not only beating," a voice from my past said. Oh please don't be him…

Gabby's POV

I turned around to come face to face with the boyfriend from my past.

"Brad?" I asked in disbelief.

This could not be happening. I was supposed to never have to see him again. But here he was in front of me. I hadn't seen him since I was 15. We had dated for about 6 months. Everything was going pretty well but that was until I found out he was cheating on me.

Flashback

"Brad what is this?" I asked holding up his cell phone with a picture text of a teenage girl that said 'had a great time last night. Can't wait to get down and dirty tonight!"

"You can't expect me to be a virgin just because you are. I've agreed to wait until your ready but that doesn't mean I'll be waiting," He answered with a sneer.

I stared at him in shock. He had always been so patient and kind with me. Well besides when he slapped me that one time but that was my fault. And he apologized something my parents had never done. But cheating is something I would not deal with.

"I'm sorry Brad. But you have to leave my room now. We are done," I said with as much courage as I could muster.

"Excuse me? I did not date you these past 6 months not to get the chance to have sex with you," Brad said his face red in anger. I took a step back in fear.

"yeah but I'm not ready," I said nervously.

"I have a feeling you will never be ready," Brad said backing me into the far corner of my room.

Oh please not now. I am only fifteen. I can't have my first time be being raped by my current boyfriend. I did the only thing I could do I yelled for help.

"Help somebody help," I screamed before being cut off by Brad's lip crashing painfully into mine.

"Get off her now!" My mother's voice came from the door.

"I am just teaching this whore a lesson. I know you understand," Brad said looking at her. He had seen me be punished by my father before.

"If you don't leave now, I will call the police," my mom answered in a calm voice.

"Fine, but I will be back bitch," Brad said walking out of my life forever

Flashback ended

That night my mom hugged me as I cried myself to sleep. She promised me she would never let Brad back into my life again. That was the first and only night my mom showed any compassion to me.

I came back to the present to see Brad smirking at me knowing I remembered that night. How could I ever forget it?

"Well hello Gabriella. You look lovely tonight?" Brad said with a smirk.

"What…What are you doing here? Are you a vampire? How did you know I was here?" I asked stumbling over my words.

"Yes but I wasn't the last time we met. Otherwise well let's just say it would of turned out a whole lot better for me and whole lot worse for you. And as for knowing where you are Shanna told me through our mind links a few minutes ago," Brad explained.

I gulped taking a step to the side so I could see both him and Shanna. I suddenly felt sick to my stomach. I knew that this night was not going to turn out good for me. Though it's kind of was a given as soon as I saw Shanna.

"I am really going to enjoy my revenge on you," Brad sneered.

"No, wait you can't if I agree with Shanna not to tell Alexander and Rob the truth," I said confidently though I sure as hell didn't feel like it.

"No the deal is I can't take your innocence, that is if you are still a virgin, but I can have my fun with you in other ways," Brad said with his evil smile I was really starting to hate. And I was not that naïve not to know what Brad meant by having fun.

"Alright Brad that's enough you can have your alone time with Gabby later," Shanna interrupted, "So do we have a deal Gabby?"

"Yes," I said in a whisper no longer being able to keep up my act of confidence.

"Good! Now I am going back inside and I expect you to come back in a few minutes," Shanna said then left with her vampire speed.

After she left, I felt a cold hand brush the side of my cheek causing me to shiver and not just because I was cold. Brad smiled with his perfect white teeth delighted in my fear. God I'm going to throw up.

"Aw Gabby we are going to have so much fun together," he said and without another word left leaving me alone in the backyard.

I stood shivering for awhile. Eventually I came to my senses and realized I needed to return to the house. I climbed back through the window and closed it as quietly as possible. I then, quickly poured another margarita. Taking a quick breath and a gulp of my alcohol I made my way as calmly as possible into the dining hall.

"Sorry for the wait but I accidentally spilt my margarita again but luckily this time I didn't break the cup," I said with a fake smile. A moment later the doorbell rang.

"Ah…that must be Brad. Go get the door Gabby," Shanna said.

"No need Gabby. You sit down and I will go answer the door," Carlos said earning glares from Shanna and Damon and a smile of gratitude from me.

I took my seat next to Rob. Rob was seated next to Mindy. The seat on my left side was empty and I sighed when I realized who I would be stuck next to for the whole dinner. I tried my best to appear calm but I realized I didn't succeed when Rob put a relaxing hand on me.

"Relax G.G…no matter what happens tonight I will still be your friend," Rob told me.

"No you are going to hate me," I replied letting a tear escape.

"I could never hate you," Rob answered.

I saw Shanna's smirk turn into a frown. Just then Carlos and Brad returned. Carlos took his original seat next to the blond girl and Brad sat next to me causing me to unconsciously move closer to Rob.

"Alright if there is no more interruptions I would like to know what is going on," Rob exclaimed. I nodded my head though I hated myself for what was about to come out of my mouth.

So there is chapter 9. I hoped you enjoyed it. Please R&R!
