Recap

"Say something" She pleaded, pulling away, I hadn't realised I'd been quiet for so long.

I pulled her back towards me, resting my chin on her head.

"It's gonna be ok, he can't hurt you now" I soothed, "I'll make sure of it"

End Recap

Troy's POV

Searing anger, the main thing I'm feeling right now, her own mother, why would she do this, why would she bring the person who tried to kill her daughter back into their lives.

I hammered on the front door, I'd dropped Gabi off at her dad's, told him everything so he knew what was going on, she doesn't know I told him, but I had too, I can't always be there, the more people that know the better.

"Calm down, I'm coming" Said a voice on the other side of the door.

It slowly opened, Kevin Montez standing on the other side.

"Maria's not here" He told me.

"I need to see both of you" I fumed.

"Why?" He asked, clueless to my tone.

"Kieran Sanchez" As soon as I said the words, Kevin's whole demeanour changed.

"What about him?" Came a completely different voice, which was surprising to hear from this man.

"He goes to East High now, his sister said Maria transferred their mom here, Gabi told me what he did, are you purposely trying to put her in danger" I explained, attempting to calm down.

"She told you about that?" He questioned, then continued without waiting for an answer, " Maria doesn't know what Kieran did, we didn't tell her, what good would it have done?"

"Kieran wouldn't be here now if she'd known" I pointed out, feeling the anger rise again. "And how could she not find out, the police must have got involved and everything"

"I dealt with all that, I paid for Gabi's counselling, Maria didn't have to know" Kevin continued, then he seemed to become frantic, widening his eyes and mouthing "stop".

"SHE DOES NEED TO KNOW" I shouted as I hard a car door slam behind me.

"Who needs to know what?" I heard Maria ask.

"I think the kid's on drugs hon," Kevin said as Isobel got out of the car.

"Troy's not on drugs" I heard her defend me, "Troy's not stupid"

"What is it, Troy, Is Gabi ok?" Maria questioned.

"Not really" I answered truthfully, " there's something you need to know, something Bel doesn't need to hear, right, Kevin?"

"Right" He confirmed quietly.

Maria's POV

"Why didn't you tell me this?" I asked my husband, he shrugged, "She's my daughter, I had a right to know"

"She's my daughter too, and I knew" He tried defending himself.

"Don't even try that, right now, she's Andrew's daughter, he would never have kept this from me, he would never have made her keep quiet about this, and now, because you didn't tell me, that boy is back in her life" I raged.

I couldn't stop thinking about what I'd done to her, my daughter, my own child, and I'd put her at risk, how could I have been so stupid?

"It's not your fault" I heard Troy tell me, he was wrong there, if I had never let Kevin come back, Gabi would still be here, and if I hadn't transferred Jane here, Kieran would still be in Washington, where he couldn't hurt my family.

Isobel's POV

Who's Kieran? Why did he try to hurt my sister? Is that why dad pretended to die? I really should stop listening at doors.

I ran upstairs, turning on Gabi's laptop; I'm so glad she left it here; Andrew had got her another one.

AngelIsobel: Something's wrong with Gabi.

RockinAli: What? Brie's not hurt is she?

AngelIsobel: I heard my parents talking; it had something to do with a boy called Kieran.

RockinAli: Who's that?

AngelIsobel: Dunno, someone Gabi knew in Washington I think.

RockinAli: Bad news?

AngelIsobel: Dunno, but I'm gonna find out.

Smarterthanyou has logged on.

AngelIsobel: Tay, what's wrong with Gabi?

Smarterthanyou: Hello to you too, don't you cut right to the chase.

AngelIsobel: I mean it, I don't see her much now, and Troy came over today and started a fight with dad.

Smarterthanyou: I don't think I should say

AngelIsobel: can you at least tell me who Kieran is?

Smarterthanyou: I don't really know myself, sorry, anyway, gotta go, Chad's here.

Why are Gabi's friends never any help, why did she even add them to my contacts, she said there's a reason for everything she does, but I don't see why she'd give me way's to contact her friends.

Smarterthanyou has logged off

RockinAli: Izzie, where are you?

AngelIsobel: I'm here; I was just talking to Taylor.

RockinAli: Brie's friend Taylor?

AngelIsobel: That's the one

RockinAli: Any help

AngelIsobel: Not really, nobody tells me anything.

RockinAli: I know how you feel, my parents always shut up when I come in the room.

"Isobel, can you come down here" I heard my mom call.

AngelIsobel: Gotta go, Mom's calling.

RockinAli: Ok, Seeya tomorrow at school, wait what day is it tomorrow?

AngelIsobel: I swear you dyed your hair and your really blonde, tomorrow's Thursday.

RockinAli: Thanks, bye.

I got up and walked downstairs, into the kitchen.

I could see Troy, still standing in the corner, Mom was mad, I could tell.

"Yeah?" I asked.

"Your father's going away for a few days, say bye," Mom explained.

"Are you coming back?" I asked him.

He looked up and mom before saying, "Of Course sweetie, I think we all just jumped into me being her so quickly, we didn't give eachother time to adjust"

"Is this because Gabi's mad?" I questioned.

"No, this isn't her fault, I'm coming back sweetie, but you and your mom and sister need some time now, I'll come visit though" He spoke, "I'll just go pack"

Mom nodded and he left the room.

"Did you tell him to go?" I asked her.

"Actually that was my idea, it's the only way Gabi will come back here and she needs to be here right now," Troy told me.

I looked at him, I know he cares about Gabi, but what makes him think he can make dad leave? Does Gabi want dad to leave?

Gabriella's POV

"How was school Ella?" Grampy asked.

"Nothing special" I covered.

"What happened?" He questioned, I should have remembered that he could read me like an open book.

"It's not important," I answered as my cell rang, "I think Troy told dad anyway"

"Hello" I spoke as I answered the phone.

"Come home Gabi" I heard my mom's voice; it brought back how much I missed her.

"I can't," I argued quietly.

"He's gone, Gabi please I told him we needed to take things slower and he had to leave, he's gone, it'll only be visits now" She explained, half-begging.

"What do I tell dad?" I asked.

"He knew it wasn't forever, he knew it was just until someone knocked some sense into me, that happened today and I didn't waste any time, I just want you home, where I know your safe" She pleaded.

I thought about it for a while, before finally muttering, "Ok"

"Thank you" She spoke down the phone, so obviously relieved.

"I can get dad to bring me," I suggested.

"No, no, Troy can come and get you, he's been desperate to see you since he knocked some sense into me" Mom laughed.

"Ok, I guess I should go, so I can get ready" I suggested.

"Yeah, you should, Bye" Mom sounded a little reluctant to hang up.

"Bye" I spoke, hanging up for her.

I saw Grampy still standing in the doorway to my room and decided to tell him first.

"That was mom, I'm going home," I quickly said.

"Thought so, Maria never was the sort of woman that would even consider losing what's important to her" He smiled at me, he was okay with it. "You are important to her, you know that?"

I nodded; Mom had always made sure that Bel and I both knew that there was nothing more important in her life than us.

"Want me to tell your father?" He asked.

"No, I should, I don't want him to hear it second hand" I explained.

"I'll let you pack then, I should tell Sophia anyway, she'll probably be surprised you were ever here knowing her, never notices anything that woman" He joked.

I laughed as he continued along the hall.

45 minutes later Troy had arrived at the house.

"Thank you" I mumbled into his neck as he hugged me.

"What else was I mean to do, let you stay here even though I know your totally wrong and should be with your mom" He pointed out.

I pulled away from him, "What happened to the sucking up?"

"I'm trying new things," He explained.

"New things" I repeated, "Like what?"

"Like comments, and game plans for basketball" He willingly told me.

"Why?" I asked.

"So ya don't get bored of me," He joked.

"That could never happen, your too spontaneous" I giggled.

"That's a long word" He replied, kissing me gently on the lips.

"You two are so sick" We heard Evan call.

We pulled apart.

"You know, you are so like Isobel it's strange," I informed him.

I think that is the longest update i have had so far in this sequel.
