( A/N bare with be during the beginning, I wanted to keep the last fight. But I promise this alternate ending will be happy)

Last time….

"Gabi?"

Gabriella jumped and wiped away her tears.

Troy climbed into bed with her.

"I know your upset…and I wanted to talk to you about it…"

"I wanted to talk to you about it too…" Gabriella said softly.

"Gabriella…I love you so much, and I'm really sorry…It's just when I think your…"

"Troy…I can't do this anymore, you could have really hurt me today…and I"

"But I didn't, and I got you help. I'm so sorry I…" Troy tenderly put one hand on her neck and the other on her side.

"Troy I think we should take a break…I mean, not end it…but"

"No! no way…" Troy shouted. Gabriella flinched and tried to back away. But Troy held on tight.

"Please Troy let go…please." She was crying.

-----

"Ryan, I have a bed feeling about this…." Sharpay called Taylor.

Sharpay explained to Taylor what took place between Gabriella and Ryan.

"No, this is very wrong…I say we go over there, I'm calling Chad. You and Ryan meet us here. Ok?"

"Got ya."

Sharpay hung up then prepared herself.

"What are you doing?"

"We're going over there."

"What!"

"Yeah. All of us…Ryan after what I saw today…." Sharpay looked down. " I don't know what could happen.

------

Gabriella continued to struggle. "Your not leaving me! Ever."

"Troy it's just a break, not forever, not even a month." She finally broke free. And shot for the door.

"Don't run from me!" Troy dashed after her. He grabbed her by the wrist and twisted her around. Her back slammed into the doorframe.

"Ah…" She cried.

"Why don't you believe me when I say I love you?!" He shouted in her face. "I showed you last night how much I love you Gabi…I showed you." He was crying. Gabriella's heart was breaking. She wished she wasn't so in love with him.

"No, Troy…that wasn't love…you… raped me" She said above a whisper.

He was momentarily stunned. Coming to terms with what she said. He knew it was wrong. She did say no. It was like someone else took over and didn't care, all he wanted to do was show her how much he loved her.

"Get out!" She screamed as loud as she could.

"What?" He almost laughed.

"Leave!" Gabriella was scared out of her mind. Troy snatched her up from the cold floor…

"How dare you!" He had a grip on both her arms, shaking her.

"It's Ryan isn't it!!"

"What?" Gabriella's breath was almost taken away.

"Don't lie to me…" She struggled to get out of his grasp.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Troy stop it! Please…"

"You think your going to just leave me and go to him? It's that it!" He shouted. She broke free and tried to run. Troy grabbed her ankle, tripping her to the floor. Troy gasped as her saw her hit the floor. She was crying. Her body ached and she was to tired to fight anymore. She lifted herself, sitting on the cold floor, her arms steadying her as she leaned on them.

"Troy…" She said softly

Troy knelt down next to her.

"Oh god I'm so sorry, I'm sorry Gabi…"

They didn't hear the door open downstairs. Gabriella's head was pounding.

Taylor led the way as the group walked up the steps.

"Troy get away from her!!" Ryan called out rushing toward Gabriella, who was still on the floor, Troy kneeling next to her.

Gabriella's head snapped in the groups direction. She was relieved. But also embarrassed. Ryan pushed Troy away from Gabriella, he held out his hand to her and helped her up. Ryan then put his arm around her. Gabriella looked at Troy seeing the fury in his eyes. She looked to the floor in shame. Ryan gave her a gentile squeeze and led her down stairs. The girls flowing. Chad grabbed Troy and took him into Gabriella's room.

"What are you thinking Troy!!!?"

"I…" Troy was in a state of shock. Everything was replaying in his mind, everything.

"What happened to the Troy I used to know? What happened to the Troy who confessed his love for Gabriella and swore that he would do anything for her?"

"I, I don't know…I don't know what's gotten into me, it's like I become this horrible person when it comes to Gabi, it's like I love her so much that I don't want to see her with anyone else, I don't want anyone to take her from me…."

"Troy if your to blind to see that she's in love with you then you don't deserve her."

Troy just stared out Gabriella's bedroom window. Processing everything Chad was telling him.

"Do you think she still loves me? I mean after all of this?"

"Man I think you need to worry more about if she's ok physically after you just beat on her." Chad spat the word beat, looking Troy up and down.

Troy took a deep breath.

"I know something's wrong, I just don't know how to control myself, like right now all I can think about is if Ryan's down there touching her."

"Troy-" Chad started but was cut off. The could faintly hear Gabriella crying down stairs.

"I need help Chad…"

"Yeah you do man." With that Chad walked out of the room to go make sure Gabriella was ok.

-----

"I don't know what to do…" Gabriella said through tears.

"Come on sweetie let's get you fixed up. Sharpay helped Gabriella to the kitchen. Gabriella had a small cut on the side of her forehead from the fall. Sharpay dabbed the a wet cloth on the cut.

"I guess you think I'm stupid…" Gabriella whispered. As she scooted up on the counter, sitting on the tile surface.

"No Gabriella, I don't think your stupid. It was very smart of you to tell Ryan to come tonight… If we hadn't, who knows what would have happened."

Taylor walked in the kitchen.

"I know it's wrong…But I love him so much."

"It's not wrong Gabriella…" Taylor said softly. "It's wrong that he's hurting you. Gabriella, you can't choose who you fall in love with. It just happens." Taylor put her hand on Gabriella's shoulder. "But Gabriella, someone that loves you wouldn't rape you, he wouldn't do this to you.

"Oh my god Gabriella, he raped you?" Sharpay asked shocked. Gabriella was caught off guard and panicked.

"I told him I wanted a brake, that we should take sometime apart, I can't deal with this, but at the sometime I can't stop loving him." Her speech was rushed as she cried.

"Shhh." Taylor hugged her best friend. "Don't worry, we're here to help you."

----

"Where are they?" Chad asked Ryan as her headed down the stairs.

"The girls took her in the kitchen to take a look at her cut."

"Oh.."

"What do you think is going to happen now?" Ryan looked at his friend unsure, and worried.

"I think Troy is going to get some help. But you know this comes from his dad…"

"What are you talking about?" Ryan asked interested.

"Well, sometimes Troy's dad can get a bit physical with him. He just pushes Troy to hard, you know expects to much out of him."

"I had no idea…" Ryan imagined the worst.

----

"Where's Gabriella?" Troy asked softly as he slowly came down the stares.

"In the kitchen…" Chad said simply, his eyes following Troy as he passed them and went for the kitchen.

"Gabi…" Troy whispered. Gabriella flinched.

Sharpay and Taylor stepped in front of her both giving Troy glairs of death.

"I think it would be best if you left and never came back." Sharpay snapped. She was infuriated after hearing what Troy did to her.

"Sharpay just step aside." Troy said sounding exhausted.

"How dare you! How dare you coming in her thinking you can just do what ever you want!" Sharpay shouted.

"Sharpay calm down, this isn't helping." Taylor said.

"How can you say that?" Sharpay asked Taylor momentarily looking away from Troy.

"Look at her." Sharpay pointed to Gabriella who was battered and bruised.

Ryan and Chad came in the kitchen. Sharpay glared back at Troy with eye's of venom and words like razors.

"You Raped her!! How can you possibly stand there acting like you care about her?"

"I…" Troy started. But he didn't have an answer. He was wrong no matter what.

"HE WHAT!" Ryan shouted. Gabriella jumped.. Taylor noticed.

"Everyone stop!" She shouted.

Everyone's attention was on Taylor.

"Listen, Gabriella doesn't need this." Taylor looked at everyone. Then she looked right at Troy. "Any of it."

"Please…." Gabriella said softly. "Everyone…just go. I need sometime alone."

"Gabi." Troy took a step toward her. She stopped dead in her tracks.

"Don't even dream it." Sharpay stepped in front of Troy.

"Gabriella you shouldn't be alone." Ryan said.

"I'll be fine…now please…" Gabriella headed toward the living room. But she turned back to the stunned crowed. "Troy…" She turned fully around to face him. " we're taking a brake….I love you, more then you deserve, I can't be with you until you get some help…."

With that she turned and went upstairs.

--------

"Come on Troy, you can stay at my house tonight." Chad said leading Troy to his car.

"Uh, Chad can I talk to you for a minute?" Taylor said.

"Yeah…" Chad and Taylor went to the dinning room.

" What are you doing?"

"If Troy is with me tonight then I know where he is, that way he can't come here."

"Oh gotcha. Good thinking."

Troy and Chad left. Sharpay and Ryan gave Taylor a ride home. All worried sick about Gabriella.

The next day Chad found a list of doctor's and therapist for Troy to check out. He made an appointment for the following week. Troy was going to get Gabriella back. But he wanted to make sure he never did another think to hurt her.

( A/N so what do you think so far. ...)
