Lucille held in a gasp as she looked at the poor little girl before her. How could anyone try to do that to a nice girl like her? She didn't deserve it… they both knew that. Lucille patted Gabriella's hand and motioned for her to go on. Gabriella nodded and continued with her story.

Gabriella closed her eyes and continued. "It was a long story but, my friend and I went to this party and basically these older, cute boys came up to us and said they wanted to talk to us. They brought us up to this room and told us that we were beautiful and tried to sweet talk us. I was only fourteen, I didn't know any better. Pretty soon they had us against a wall and was kissing us and tried to take our clothes off. We tried as best we could to stop them, but they were too strong…" Gabriella wiped away a tear and continues on with her story. "We were almost naked by the time the police came through the door. Our other friend downstairs got worried and sent the security that was already at the party up to our room. They came just in time…"

Gabriella sighed and looked down, she felt ashamed and stupid. She didn't know what got into her at that party… she felt so naive. She had never stopped blaming herself for what happened that night…

Lucille spoke. "I'm so sorry, Gabriella… its effected your life pretty bad, huh?"

Gabriella nodded. "Yeah… its effected me and Troy's relationship even we were just friends… I can remember the first night it fully effected me… and Troy."

"What happened" Lucille said. "Sorry if you feel like I'm being nosy-"

Gabriella stopped her. "Not at all… its good to talk to someone and let it all out."

Lucille smiled and nodded her head in encouragement for Gabriella to go on with her story.

"It was the night before you and Jack came to see Troy. The first time I met you." Gabriella smiled and so did Lucille. "We settled our stuff in the cabin, and we changed and went to bed… I didn't know why at the time but ever since Troy and I became counselors, I had been having these weird dreams… scary, weird dreams… I had a horrible one that night… It was one of the scariest ones I ever had. It was about the guy that tried to rape me. It was horrible… and sick. I woke up screaming and after I realized that I was in the cabin, I started crying… everything I had bottled up from the past three years just came back to me. And I finally couldn't take it anymore."

Lucille looked at the poor girl in front of her and smiled sympathetically. "Did Troy do anything, he better not have been asleep and left you there." Lucille was half joking and was half serious. She would be disappointed in her son if he had just left the poor girl there.

"Oh, no, no, no! He helped me like you wouldn't believe." Gabriella smiled. "He came and sat by me, comforting me while he let me cry and complain. He held me and rocking me." Gabriella smiled as she remembered Troy's arms around her… comforting her and protecting her.

"I was so scared I made him lay down with me until I fell asleep…" Gabriella giggled for the first time during the conversation. "And he did…" Gabriella smiled and so did Lucille.

Gabriella looked at Lucille. "Umm, what time is it?"

Lucille looked down at her watch. "Oops, its 3:00, Jack and I have to leave to work." Lucille stood up from the table. "Jack! Troy! Come on, Jack we have to leave!"

Gabriella watched the two men nod and come off the court, panting and breathing hard. They reached the bench and both took a drink of their water. Gabriella giggled at the two boys. They looked like they had a lot of fun. That made Gabriella happy, she wanted Troy to have a good time, and not have to be worrying about her instead.

Troy went to Gabriella and kissed her cheek. Gabriella squirmed.

"Eww, Troy! Your all sweaty!" Gabriella made a disgusted face and giggled. Troy rolled his eyes.

"Oh wait, I left my other shirt on the bench." Troy jogged over to the bench near the court and switched his shirt with a cleaner one. Jack just laughed and gulped down his water. Lucille looked at him.

"Honey, we have to leave to go to work, I hope you brought something to change into… you smell like sweat also." Lucille laughed and Gabriella joined in.

"Thanks for having lunch with us…" Gabriella told them . The parents looked at her sweetly. "No problem, Gabriella… it was nice to finally get to spend time with you two." Jack said and he smiled.

Troy came back to them and hugged his parents. "Thanks for coming mom… dad" He smiled at the two.

Lucille smiled. "You better hold on to her, Troy." Lucille winked at Gabriella and she blushed a little. Troy just smiled. "I plan to, mom."

Gabriella cleared her throat and spoke to Lucille. "Thanks for the umm… talk, Lucille… I needed it." She smiled and stood up, supporting her weight on the picnic bench.

"I needed it too, Gabriella… anytime you need to talk just come and tell me. I'll be right here." She smiled genuinely and so did Gabriella. She was grateful to have someone to talk to.

Troy walked to Gabriella. "You ready to go inside?" Gabriella nodded and reached for her crutches but they were too far away for her to reach. She grunted and tried to step forward but it hurt her to. Troy noticed and grabbed the crutches for her. He kneeled down in front of her, his back facing her.

"Come on, I'll just piggy back you inside." He smiled and Gabriella giggled. She grabbed a hold of his shoulders and tried to jump. She barely made it as Troy quickly put his hands under her thighs and hoisted her up higher on his back. He grabbed the crutches as Gabi wound her arms around his neck tight. She waved at Lucille and Jack before heading off inside.

"Bye guys!" She smiled as Troy waved back too, walking inside the cabin.

Jack and Lucille stood there for a second before watching the two go inside. Laughing when Gabriella poked Troy's nose and made him spin her around in a circle before going inside the cabin. They both sighed and smiled at each other knowing the two were going to get along fine.

Gabriella and Troy tried to get sleep that night but ended up making-out instead. Gabriella knew they should get their rest but she let her heart do the talking for once and decided it was okay to be doing this with your boyfriend. He was her boyfriend after all so she thought it was okay.

Troy rolled on top of her, careful to not put all of his weight on her and kissed back just as hungrily as Gabriella kissed him. He had never really seen this side of Gabriella before. But he didn't mind. All he wanted was to be with her and have his lips against her soft, sweet ones.

Gabriella rustled her fingers through his hair while moving her lips perfectly with Troy's. His lips were soft and luscious. She could kiss them all day if she wanted to. Finally when they were both out of breath, Troy started placing sweet little kisses on the side of side of her neck. The kisses weren't hot and heavy but sweet and slow.

Gabriella bit her tongue and held back a moan as Troy kissed that sweet spot she had just below her ear. Her heart raced faster and she felt as if she was on a roller coaster and the roller coaster kept going in loops and down big hills. Making her heart and stomach drop. Gabriella pulled Troy's face back to hers and kissed him passionately again. She wanted his lips away from her neck before she started doing something that she would regret. Like going all the way.

Troy's hands trailed down her sides as he slid his tongue across Gabriella's bottom full lip. He could feel her hesitate at first but she slowly allowed herself to open her mouth and let Troy's tongue in. He stroked the sides of her mouth slowly, caressing every inside part of her mouth. Gabriella shut her eyes even tighter but couldn't help herself when a quiet, low moan escaped her lips. Troy smiled into the kiss and just continued his movements with his tongue.

Gabriella put her hands on the sides of his face and pulled him closer, to deepen the kiss. Gabriella felt brave as she and Troy's tongues met and were fighting against each other. Gabriella felt quite special as Troy caressed her this way. Stroking her sides and stroking his fingers through her hair. The way he kissed her also made her feel special… and loved.

Troy wasn't paying attention when his hand crept up Gabriella's shirt and on her stomach. He tried to caress her stomach but Gabriella quickly pulled away. They looked at each other, both panting and breathing hard. Gabriella looked down and quickly tugged her shirt so it wasn't showing her bare stomach anymore.

"Troy I… I… Its too… soon… I'm sorry." Gabriella shook her head 'no' as she looked down ashamed, feeling guilty for cutting off her boyfriend like that. She didn't want to, but she couldn't help it. That was a lot for her in one night. And she didn't want to ruin it with a mistake she would have made if Troy would've gone any farther up her shirt.

Troy smiled and wiped the hair out of her eyes. "Shh… it's okay, I wasn't paying attention to what I was doing… I'm sorry…"

Gabriella smiled and leaned forward pecking his lips in a sweet kiss. "Thanks for understanding…"

Troy just smiled and rolled back onto his side of the bed. They were both breathing kind of hard as Troy turned on his side and looked in her eyes, trying to capture all of the beauty in her eyes. He loved Gabriella so much and he still couldn't believe how lucky he was to have found her.

Troy was definitely lucky…

Gabriella… not so much…
