Stolen Innocence and Lost Voice
Stolen Innocence and Lost Voice
Starla's Pov:
After making the kids breakfast I went up to wake them. When I opened the door I saw the cutest thing. Gabriella and Troy were curled into each other sleeping with smiled on their faces. I had to get a picture of this. Quietly walking back out of the room I grabbed my camera and snuck back in. Remembering to turn the flash off so they didn't wake up, I was able to get a really good picture. Before I went to the side of their bed I placed the camera on Troy's desk.
"Troy wake up we have to go to the doctors in two hours," he started to stir as I shook him awake. "Mom what time it is?" he asked still sounding half asleep. "Eight, now I will meet you both downstairs for breakfast," I walked out of the room and back down into the kitchen to wait for them.
Troy's Pov:
It was definitely too early to wake up. We had gotten in late last night from our trip so I was planning on sleeping in late with my gorgeous girlfriend. It was obvious we couldn't do that though. Today we had to go to the doctor. I sat up in bed and took off the now room temperature ice pack. As I did this she began to stir. When she opened her eyes I saw her big brown eyes that I loved so much
"Time to get up babe," I said in a whisper as she winced when she sat up. "Please don't make me go to the doctor Troy," she pouted. I leaned my forehead against hers, "You're going, that face doesn't work on me,"
She leaned in to kiss me which I gave no objection to. As we gently kissed she whispered against my lips, "I don't want to go." I knew she had a fear of going to the doctors, but she had to go.
We slowly made our way downstairs to greet my mom. She had pancakes already out on the table for us waiting to be eaten. My mom explained to Gabi that the doctor is only going to check her back so she didn't worry too much. She nodded, but didn't answer. It was almost as if she was expecting something bad to happen. After Gabi and I finished eating we went to go get dressed. I helped her before I got dressed. She was wearing my sweatshirt that was oversized for her and purple juicy sweatpants. Since we were only going to the doctors there was no reason to wear a fitted shirt. He would probably ask her to take it off anyway. When we were done getting dressed we got into my moms car while she drove.
The ride only took about 30 minutes until we got there. I could tell Gabriella was scared by the way she was holding onto my arm for dear life as we walked in. My mom signed us in as we took a seat in the waiting room. Gabriella was fidgeting in her seat as the minutes ticked by. Our name was called and all three of us followed the nurse into the room. She told Gabi to take her sweatshirt off and wait for the doctor.
Starla's Pov:
I saw Gabi struggling with getting her shirt off so I got up from my seat to help. Before I got there I saw my son Troy walking over to her and helping her being so gentle. I smiled as I watched how he treated her. I'm so proud to call him my son. As I looked at Gabriella, she shivered and I immediately saw Troy taking off his jacket and put it around her. Within a minute her shivering went away. I couldn't stop smiling as I watched the two interact.
Troy's Pov:
The doctor opened the door and greeted us as he came in and made his way over to Gabi. Seeing her tense up I gave her a reassuring smile and went to take a seat next to my mom so the doctor had plenty of room. As he said hello to Gabi he washed his hands.
"Hi Gabriella, I'm Dr. Heely. What I need you to do is stand up and take your jacket off," he told her as I saw her try her best to get off the table as best as she could. When he told her to bend over I saw her hold back some tears. Dr. Heely then traced her spine making sure nothing was broken by pressing down. Her legs became wobbly as I saw her begin to collapse from the pain. I jumped out of my chair and picked her up in my arms before she fell. She wrapped her legs around my waist and started sobbing on my shoulder from how much it hurt. I almost wanted to tell the doctor to stop what he was doing, but I knew this had to be done.
"I know it hurts Gabriella, but we are half way done. Ok so if you feel any pain I want you to squeeze Troy as hard as you can. Ok?" the doctor asked and I felt her give a tiny nod against me. She gripped my shirt into her hands as she buried her head father into me. The doctor continued and I felt her squirm to get away, but I held onto her tight. She was crying so hard it was breaking my heart. This made me upset that he was hurting her. Yes, he had a good reason, but still aren't doctors supposed to make you feel better? It felt like hours before he was done. I put my sweatshirt back on her as the doctor wrote some things down on his clip board.
"You will be happy to know that nothing is broken. That is one heck of a bruise though. Take Advil as needed, put ice on it. Don't move around to much and try to relax. That's about all you could do. Feel better," we thanked him as we left. I still had Brie in my arms due to her not being able to walk because of the amount of pain he caused her. She had stopped crying by the time we reached my house. When I went in the house I carried her upstairs and put her onto my bed.
"Here we go," my mom handed me two ice packs. I told Gabriella to lie on her stomach so her head was by the bottom of the bed. This way we could relax. I placed both ice packs on her back as she thanked me. As soon as I got onto the bed I heard the phone ring. Sighing as I got off the bed I went to pick up the phone only to have my mom pick it up right before me. I could hear her coming up the stairs talking to someone as I laid back on the bed. She came into the room and told Gabi that her mother was on the phone. My mom handed it to her and walked out of the room.
Gabi's Pov:
To tell you the truth I didn't really want to talk to my mom. I was mad at her that her work was becoming more important than her own daughter, but I did miss her.
"Hello," I spoke softly into the phone waiting for a response.
"Mija, are you ok," When I heard her voice I just broke down crying. It was like all my anger from her went away. I don't know whether it was because of what happened before or during the trip, the pain and doctors, or even the fact that I missed her so much. All I wanted to do was go running into my Mami's arms like I did so much when I scraped my knees when I was little. She would place a kiss on each scratch and the pain would magically disappear. My hurt is way too big for a simple kiss, but it wouldn't hurt. I longed for my mom who was so far away. Whenever something bad happened she always seemed to know how to make it better.
"Hi Mami! Are you coming home soon? I need you," I tried to stop crying long enough for her to understand me, however it didn't work. It only made things worse. I knew I sounding like a little kid begging for her Mami, but I didn't care what anyone else though. I needed her and that was all that mattered right now.
"I know everything Mija. Don't cry. I tried leaving, but they said they would fire me. We need the money. I promise you the first chance they say I can go I will be on the first flight home no matter what time," How I loved hearing her voice. This got me to calm down a little. I knew I was always welcome at Troy's house, but what they say is true, there is no place like home.
"I miss and love you. Call the next time you can. Bye Mami," I always hated this part. I felt Troy run his hand over my face to wipe my tears.
"Miss and Love you more. Don't worry, as soon as I get another chance you will be hearing from me. And Gabi, be the strong girl you and I both know you are," I hung up the phone and returned it to Troy.
"Don't cry beautiful," I smiled at him.
"How can you think I'm beautiful, my eyes are red from crying, my hair looks like I got in a fight with a hairbrush. I am far from it." He shook his head no as he ran his fingers through my tangled hair.
"You are the most beautiful girl in the world right now. Make-up or no make up, you're perfect in my eyes," More tears ran down my face, but this time it was because I was happy.
"How did I deserve someone as great as you?" I asked him as we stared into each others eyes.
"I think the real question is how I deserved you." He answered, and for the first time that day I was happy.
