Getting out of his car Troy let out a yawn as he slipped a credit card in his wallet. He had just filled his tank with gas so tomorrow on the way to school he would make the girls late. Smelling the soft scent of cigarette he scanned his yard he knew she was close. As he looked over into the next yard he seen nothing, looking up at the house he seen Gabriella standing on the edge of her balcony with eyes closed and arms extended as if she were about to jump. Feeling his pulse almost stop he took off for the trees that lead to the balcony.

One day I'm gonna forget your name,
And one sweet day, you're gonna drown in my lost pain.

Fear is only in our minds,
Taking over all the time.
Fear is only in our minds but it's taking over all the time.

You poor sweet innocent thing.
Dry your eyes and testify.
And oh you love to hate me don't you, honey?
I'm your sacrifice.

Gabriella whispered along with the song playing in her room, the cool breeze felt wonderful on her skin and enjoyed the quiet of night as stood in silence. Closing her eyes she listened to the sounds of the night. She had just took a shower not too long ago but her hair was slowly drying. She put on her Bullet for my Valentine T-shirt and a pair of boy's boxers. She was comfortable and evening was relaxing. She loved the night it was her favorite part of the day but not just any time at night. She loved the few hours the morphed into darkness after the sun had dropped from the sky.

I dream in darkness
I sleep to die,
Erase the silence,
Erase my life,
Our burning ashes
Blacken the day,
A world of nothingness,
Blow me away.

Suddenly a hand wrapped around her waist and pulled her from her spot. Her eyes shot open as she felt the wind being knocked from her lungs. Next thing she knew she was against the wall staring into Troy's eyes. He looked terrified which was at lost to her because she was the one who was just yanked from thin air with no warning.

"What the fuck are you doing?" she asked trying to lift her arms but realizing he hand them in his grasp. "Troy I'm flattered but their a fine line between kinky and scary." She said struggling to get free.

"Don't jump." He said with a worried expression. "Please."

"Jump?" Gabriella eyes widen as she leaned back against the wall. "Have you been drinking?" she said smelling his breath.

"I saw you standing on the ledge about to jump." He said confused "I climbed the tree."

"Well aren't you a strong boy. I'm so happy you came to my recues like Tarzan. " She said with a sweet voice. "Now get the fuck off me." Her eyes glared at him and Troy realized he was still pinning her to the wall.

Letting go she dropped her shoulders and feet completely stood on the floor. Wrapping a hand around her waist where he grabbed her she felt a slight pain. Making the final call that she was fine she looked up at him who was staring back at her.

"Are you okay?" he asked as he took a small step forward.

"I was fine before you." She said going through the open doors to her iPod. Turning off the music she came back out on to the balcony. "You just get home from work?" she said lifting a new cigarette to her lips and striking the lighter.

"Yeah." He said running a hand through his hair. "What were you doing on the ledge?"

"Consider it practice run for the real deal." She joked and slid down the wall to the floor. "Now I just got to time it right so no one saves me."

"You have a fucked up sense of humor." He said holding out a hand and shaking his head.

Pulling the Cigarette from her lips she blew out some smoke and glanced up at him. "Well we all have quirks." She said tapping the ashes to the side.

Troy took a deep breath and bent down so he was face to face with her. Gabriella pulled her cigarette out of his reach. Troy smiled and grabbed her arm pulling it towards him gently. Gabriella used all her strength to hold her hand out but she was failing as Troy pulled it closer to him.

"Fucker." She mumbled giving up and watching him pluck the cigarette from her fingers and put it out.

"I think you should quit." He said with a small smile.

"And you should stop trying to change me." She responded

"You'll quit." He said leaving a pause. "Or I'll put out every cigarette you light." With a smile he began to stand up.

"Trust me I'll change your whole world around before you even place a dent in mine." She said rising from the floor.

"What makes you think I haven't already turned your world upside down." He said coming closer to her.

"Because as much as you like to think I'm some sympathy case you have to save from ending her own life, I'm not." She said with a grin. "I'm a bad person. I do bad things, I don't think of others and as long as I get mine I perfectly fine with it." She said raising a hand to his chest. "don't ever think that you have the upper hand on me because I will make sure that I spin the fuck out of everything you ever thought you knew." She said in a whisper as she came closer to him.

"You're not a bad person." Troy stood his ground and looked into her eyes. "You're just scared because anything that comes close to real intimacy freaks you out."

Gabriella grabbed his shirt and pulled him towards her slowly spinning his body and pushing him into her bedroom. "And breaking the rules makes you crazy." She said in a low tone.

Troy looked around room at all the boxes and then back at her as she pulled the French doors shut.

"Gabriella whatever you're going to do stop." he said holding out a hand.

With a smile on her lips she continued to walk towards him "I'm going to show you just how bad I can be." She said with a devious tone.

Troy back up until he felt the closed door against his back. He was so turn on it wasn't even a doubt to him that he wanted her. But he was going to try his hardest to resist her. Closing the space between them Gabriella hands slid passed him and turned the lock on her door.

"I don't think this a good idea" he said in a husky tone.

"Then stop me." She said as she slid her hand down to cup his bulge.

Troy could almost feel his knees give out, but remained standing against the door. he felt her sliding her hand back and forth over him felt her grip him and slid up to his pants buckle.

She placed a kiss on his shoulder then on his chest before sliding down his body so she was face to face with this zipper. Slowly she pulled his zipper down and reached inside his pants for his shaft. Pulling him out she smiled. "My, my, my, what a big surprise Troy." she said glance up at him as he held his eyes closed and stood leaning against the door.

Moving her hand up and down his shaft she began slowly then began to build up speed. Troy let a moan escape his lips as she pleasured him in her hand. Letting a smile spread along her lips she kissed to the tip of his cock. The shock of her touch made him jerk and he looked down at her and watched as she opened her mouth and wrapped her lips around him. Taking him slowly in her mouth she brought her hand up to stoke him as she took him in deeper.

Troy's braced himself against the door as felt the warm wet and tight sensation around him. Leaning his head back against the door he felt his eyes roll back a bit as she took him deeper. He couldn't stop her if the room was on fire and frankly he wouldn't want to. Looking down he saw her, bobbing faster on him taking him in and out of her mouth pushing him over the edge each time her tongue swirled around the head and back down his shaft.

"Oh my god." He whispered feeling the pressure and tension rise he let another moan escape as mouth.

Moving faster she twisted her hand tilting her head in the opposite direction she wanted him to feel every sensation of her mouth on him. She wanted him to cum she wanted to drive him crazy.

"Gabriella?" he whispered one of his hands coming down and shifting through her hair. "I think I'm going to." Before he could finish she began to suck hard and go faster taking him deeper.

Troy braced himself on the door holding both his hands up for support as he felt himself about to orgasm. A soon as he did he she took him deep once again and sucked really hard making him explode in her mouth. He swear he saw stars and he clenched his jaw every part of him tingling with the explosion. His body going weak, all feeling was on his cock on her lips as her tongue brushed him.

Gabriella let a moan as she sucked his juice from the tip milking him and letting the liquid warm her throat.

"Oh my god." He whispered exhaling a deep breath as he let his shoulders slump down. "I can't believe you just did that."

Gabriella smiled as she stood up and patted the sides of her mouth. "Consider that a thank you for climbing the tree." She said walking over to the French doors. "Now I believe you can find your way down." Stand besides the French door she leaned on the frame and smiled at him.

At a loss for words or thoughts at this point Troy adjusted himself and buttoned his pants back up. He wasn't sure what to make of what just happened but he agreed with her he needed to leave.

As he walked pass her she pulled out a cigarette and watched him mount the tree just as he was half way down she lit the cigarette and inhaled. For her place against the wall she watched him walk towards his truck and get a bag from the back and head inside his house. Blowing out the smoke she waited for his bedroom light to turn on and when it did she hid a bit further into the tree as she watched him.

Placing his bag on his desk Troy stood still for a moment still trying to wrap his head around what happened. He felt bad for wanting her, she wasn't the kind of girl he needed in his life. But his sister's words chimed into his thoughts. "I refuse to let High school pass me by and work to the bone for a future that I'll end up resenting cause it took away my childhood." Rubbing his hands on his face he fell to the bed. His father voice echoed Mel's "Son, don't be so fast to grow up, enjoy right now because I guarantee you, one day you're going to look up and you'll be unhappy." What on earth was he doing? Other than just letting everything pass him by while he kept his head down. Mel had every right to not want to follow in his footsteps. He was happy she wanted to experience dating and socializing and having friends.

At school Troy was the "it" guy everyone pretended to be his friend to get high status. Everyone was a fake. Chad and Zeke were real but many of the girls only flirted or tried to get his attention because he was star of the basketball team and class president. He was the guy everyone wanted to be because they thought his life was so easy and great.

Troy leaned up again and got up to get his ipod from the bag. Placing the buds in his ears he leaned back and closed his eyes hoping sleep would make him forget about the day.
