Troy walked into the police Station, and then The bulky officer stood up, recognizing Troy. "I can't allow you back without a pass," his voice was gruff and sounded like he was a chain smoker in his youth. Troy fought the urge to roll his eyes, and continued to walk, this time it was at normal pace. "Well well well" Jack mumbled, reading his magazine and leaning against the wall behind his prison bed. "My son of a bitch son has returned." Troy sighed, his nostrils wanting to flare, but he took a deep breath to control it. "I just came to talk ...d-d-dad." wow, even having a civil conversation with his father was hard. Jack smirked, "Talk huh... Talk about what.. you want an apology? fine, I'll apologize, I'm sorry that your a no good son who is a whimp, and has fallen inlove with a whore who can do better then you...there, will that do?" he smirked crossing his arms, he knew that he could say these things to Troy and Troy won't do nothing about it because his a whimp and can't defend himself.

'Just breathe...breathe...' Troy told himself, inhaling from his nose. "I...don't want an apology, I just ...ehh I knew you'd be difficult about this!" He squeezed the bars and nearly head butted them. Jack smirked, "wow, you seem tense son, won't you tell daddy all about your problems, and he'll make them better.." he smirked, "It's just me and you...like old times..." he smirked wickidly again. Troy nearly growled, but he had to stay calm. His dad wasn't making it easy for him. His lips curled and his eyes darkened, "your not making this easy dad..." Jack chuckled, and walked up closer, sticking his arm outside the bars and grasping Troy's throat before he could move. "Since when are things easy between me and you...son?" 'son' was said with so much venom and acid. Troy tried to pry his father's hands off his throat, but Jack shook him, "You're weak like your mother and you disgust me."Troy couldn't breath, he was trying to gasp for air, then the officers came in and got Troy away from his father's hands. Troy held his throat, coughing. he couldn't stand his father now, he hated him. it made so much sense when Gabriella said it, but he didn't love him, he could never love someone like him, "Fuck you dad!" he shouted and he walked out furiously out of the station.

Jack only laughed manically, his eyes glinting and he himself walking back to where the magazine was placed. "He'll be back..." he muttered,"Oh yes he'll be back." he touched the burn mark on his forehead, it healed a long time ago, but it still marked him with a cross brand. He felt the burning in his stomach...

(flashback)

"Jackie!" yelled Herbert Bolton, grabbing his 6 year old son by his shoulders and dragging him into the barn. Jack cried, tears streaming down his young face. "No daddy please please!" Herbert growled, looking at the pathetic excuse for a son. "The bible says that we to be marked with God's mark boy." next thing that Jack knew was the burning, stinging feeling against his forehead, he wailed louder then he felt his father drag him to the house, and that's when he was emmersed completely in water. He came up sputtering.

(End Of Flashback)

The scar still faintly stung, his hands curled into a fist, he breathed in deep and realized that Troy didn't have the mark, and neither did the whore he was with and her son. He'd have to give them the mark, cast the evils out of them.

...

The Next day was Jack's Trial, and after hearing what had happened, Jack was let off with a warning. Troy got a call from them telling him that and he was pissed. he slammed the phone down, leaning himself over the counter, Gabriella came in, "Baby, what's wrong?" she soothed kissing his back gently. he shut his eyes, "My dad was let off with a warning..." he spoke, Gabriella looked up at him as he turned to her and touched her cheek, "his not gonna hurt you brie...I promise you this time... his not going to hurt you..." he spoke, she nodded, "I trust you Troy.." Zac came running in, "I'm ready for pre-school daddy.." he smiled, Troy smiled lifting him up in his arms, "are you now?" Zac nodded, Troy kissed Gabriella, "I'll see you after work...Love you.." he smiled, she nodded. "love you too.." she smiled, and Troy and zac left out the door.

Gabriella went into Brooklyn's Room and checked on her, she was still sleeping. she smiled and shut the door lightly. Gabriella went into the kitchen to find something cold to drink. what she didn't know was Jack Bolton was watching her every move from outside. Gabriella found some water, and she took a sip, and went into her bedroom, and she layed down.

Jack came in and he carefully walked into her room and opened the door, her back was turned so she couldn't see him and she thought it was Troy, so she smiled, "Your back already... did they not need you today?" she smiled, and Jack smirked, and got into bed with her, he wrapped his arms around her. Gabriella looked at the arm, her eyes widen, that wasen't Troy's arm, her eyes widen and she gasped and turned to him and tried to scream but he covered her mouth, and jumped ontop of her, "were gonna make a little deal Gabriella..." she whimpered and shook her head, "don't say no to me bitch!" he slapped her across the face, and she whimpered again, "Your gonna let me have you... or I'll kill your precious baby girl..." Gabriella's eyes widen, she didn't want him to touch brooklyn, "Don't you dare tell Troy what happens, or I'll for sure kill her.." Jack began ripping her clothes off, and he put on a condom, and he began torturing her, and raping her.

...

Troy had dropped Zac off at daycare, he gave him a quick hug and ran off to play with his friends. He smiled at the sight, but now he was driving to work, surprisingly there was no traffic, he arrived at the office in record time and was at his desk filling out paper work for some big shebang deal with some strange foreign company. He rolled his eyes, then his mind started to drift to Gabriella. Smiling, he picked up his office phone, dialing the number. It rang 4 times, he frowned. Was something wrong? she usually picked it up at the first ring, something wasen't right. he called his assistant Kyle in, "yes Mister Bolton..?" he asked, "I need to go home early, something isn't right.." Troy said getting up, Kyle nodded, "I'll make sure everything is working, and I hope Gabriella is ok, say hi to her for me." he smiled, all his workers loved Gabriella. Troy smiled, "Thanks, and I will." and with that, Troy left out of the building.

Gabriella cried her eyes out into her pillow as Jack was getting dressed, "I see why Troy keeps you around, your a good fuck.." he smirked, and she cried some more, she was ashamed, she felt so used and broken, like she did when Hunter did this to her. Jack came over and kissed her cheek, "Goodbye Princess, this has been fun.." and with that he left. Gabriella curled up in a ball and cried her eyes out. Jack left the house through the back door, feeling...power and control, now he had one other thing to do. And first he'd do it to the boy, he had watched where Troy and his 'darling' whore took him for daycare, it wouldn't be hard. He had the supplies, besides like his father said to him when he was the brats age, we all must bear God's mark. Walking through the back yards until he got far away from the neighbor hood, he stopped at the door of the daycare school and smirked, but his eyes were pensive and blank. This was...something that had to be done, he'd get to his son eventually. opening the door, he walked in and was met with a perky 18 year old.

"Hey!" she smiled, Jack feigned a smile, "Hi, I'm looking for my grandson..." eh, he hated that 18 year old smiled and clicked on her computer, "what his name?" Jack drew up a blank, but then he remembered, "Zachary." "oh yes, such a lovely boy... but umm I'm sorry, his Father dropped him off here and told us to not give him to anyone accept him or his mother... it's under his rules..sorry.." she said holding a clipboard close to her. Damit, Jack thought and he thanked the girl and he turned to walk off. there had to be another way to get to him. Troy walked into the house, and shouted Gabriella's name, "Gabi!" he ran into the bedroom and found her curled up in a ball crying her eyes out, "Brie.." he sat down beside her and rubbed her side, and she jumped and looked up at him, "T-Troy...it's you.." she hugged him tightly. Something was definitely wrong, why would she jump...? "Brie, of course its me, who else could it be?" Gabriella sniffled,didn't say anything else and bent her head to his shoulders, crying her eyes out once more. Troy rubbed her back soothingly, whispering sweet nothings in her ear. "T-Troy...Zac, where's Zac?" she stuttered out, Troy looked at her in the eyes, "Brie, he's at daycare, I dropped him off-" Gabriella's word came out her mouth in a frantic rush, "go get him! Please go get him! Bring him home!"

Jack leaned against the fence of the play ground, hearing the laughter of children. How anybody could actually...like their sound is beyond him. He found it annoying. "Zac!" he heard one of the teachers yell, his ears perked up and he turned his head slightly. Zac dropped the ball he was playing with and he ran to the teacher. behind the Teacher was Troy. Jack soon ran away from the pre-school so Troy wouldn't see him. Troy picked up zac, "let's go home zac." and he walked out with him to the car. when they arrived home, Zac came running in, and Gabriella picked him up, "Oh baby, are you alright?" she hugged him, tears rolling down her cheeks, Troy couldn't stand to see her like this, it killed him, "yes mommy, I'm fine.." he smiled and she kissed his cheek, "I love you.." "I love you too mommy.." he ran to his room to play with his toys, Gabriella sat on the edge of the couch, she sniffled up her tears, Troy came over to her and wrapped his arms around her, and she jumped and whimpered, "Please...don't touch me.." she didn't want anybody touching her right now.

Troy was taken back by her behavior, "Brie, what's wrong? It's me, I'm not gonna hurt you..." he grabbed her hands and she pushed him away, "This..isn't working out Troy..." Gabriella spoke, she didn't want to do this, but she had too, she had to protect her kids. "what are you talking about brie.." Troy was confused, "I'm...I'm leaving you..." she stammered out, it was so painful for her to say those words to him. Without waiting for a word on Troy's behalf she walked up the stairs, tears trickling down her face as she walked into Brooklyn's room and picked her up gently so the little one won't wake, then she went to Zac's room and grabbed his hand rather too roughly. "Zachary we're leaving." she said rather bluntly, practically dragging him down the stairs, he grabbed Troy's hand and squeezed tightly. "No! MOMMY! DADDY COME WITH US! DADDY!" Troy felt tears in his eyes, Gabriella tugged on his hand once more, the jerk so great that it caused the little boy to let go. He wailed and cried when Gabriella put him in the car and drove off without a word. When they were a block away, the light turned red, and that's when Jack Bolton got in with a smirk. "Well done bitch," he sneered, his eyes went to Zac through the rearview mirror. "Nice to finally meet your brat."

"Don't ever call him that!" she screamed. he stared at her coldly and slapped her. she held her stinged cheek, as the light went green, "drive!" he yelled, and she began driving. Jack Bolton looked at the baby bolton sleeping in the car-seat in the back that was next to zac, he smirked, "she's gonna make alot of money at being a prostitute when she's older." Gabriella gasped and looked at him, "Y-You..Y-You wouldn't?" she stammered he nodded "Oh yes I would my dear, that's how the Bolton woman make money... and you.." The car ride was silent, Zac was sniffling in the back seat and Jack kept staring at him through the mirror. Zac tried to scoot farther into the back seat but it was impossible, then his eyes noticed something. "What's that on your head?" Zac asked, Jack felt the mark on his forehead and sneered, "is that some of your business you little shit?" "Don't call him-" Gabriella felt the sting of his hand on her face again, and tears doubled over.. "Bitch, I told you...don't talk back to me and just pull into this warehouse drive way here." Gabriella nodded obediantly, before she could get out and get Zac, Jack got out and grabbed him by his shoulders, the little boy started kicking and screaming but Jack stuffed an old rag in his mouth. "Hey you Brown Eyes, get your rugrat runt." his tone held hate and distaste, he ragged Zac in to the back of the warehouse where he had the cross brand and it was ready. He st Zac down and bent in front of him. "IF you move an inch, Brat, your mom and baby sis will die. Don't move." Zac had tears running down his face, he didn't nod, but it didn't look like he'd be moving anytime soon either. Jack smirked, stood up and walked over to the table that held the branding rod, his voice was rough. "My dad said to me that we all must bear God's mark...to warn off evil spirits." He turned to Zac, who started shivering, "this will hurt, so just...scream." and in that moment hot iron touched his sensitive skin.

Gabriella busted in and tackeld Jack on the ground, "Don't you dare touch him!" she screamed, she punched him, she turned to zac, "Run! get in the car!" Zac nodded rubbing his forhead that hurt a little bit but it would leave a small scar. Jack rolled ontop of her and slapped her and punched her, Gabriella wasen't gonna give up, she had to get away. she kicked him between his thighs, and he doubled over to the ground. Gabriella got up and ran out the door, she then got in the car and started it and turned to zac, "are you alright?" she asked, Zac nodded. and she drove to the airport.

...

Troy sighed, why would she...? it just didn't make sense! She said in the hospital in New York that she wanted to spend the rest of her life with him! Arg! women are so infuriating sometimes he swears up and down and all over the world, women are the most infuriating creatures on the planet! "Gabi, why?" he said, his language slurred a bit, because of the heavy scotch he was drinking, he slumped down on the couch, and dunked his head back to slunk down the other half of the scotch and welcoming the burn that came to his throat. "Why?" he slurred again, falling onto his side and letting his eyelids flutter closed in intoxicated sleep.

His eyes flew open as soon as his phone rang, he ignored it and let it go to voicemail,

"Troy...it's Gabi...I know you want an explanation...if you come to the airport, I'll give you one... but If you don't...I want to say, I love you...and I don't want to leave you, but...I have too...I love you Troy Bolton..."

and there was the beep.

Troy wasted no time, he nearly broke his glass when he set it down on the coffee table and stumbled to the drive way where he got in to the front seat of his purple prius (Gabriella picked it out), he zoomed down the road, swerving a few times but managing a semi-straight line. He parked at the airport and stumbled in, trying to search for Gabriella and Zac and Brooklyn; he saw Gabriella bent over, he got closer to see Zac rubbing his forehead that was swollen and blistering and completely red.

Troy looked at Gabriella, "Gabriella...what happened to zac?" he asked picking zac up. Gabriella sighed, and walked closer to Troy as Troy let Zac down, "Troy...the reason why I left was...your dad...after you left this morning, he came in and he...he...raped me...and he told me to leave you and if I didn't, he would kill Brooklyn...then he told me that Brooklyn was gonna be a prostitute when she was older..it was...terrible Troy..." his hands clenched and his vision became redder than it had before. He grabbed Gabriella gently by the shoulders, Zac by the hand and took them to his car, Gabriella pulled away. "Troy, I have to leave...he's gonna hurt...I have to..." her voice was thick with tears that she hadn't shed when she was fighting Jack. Brooklyn still secure in her arms, Troy sighed, but it came out like a growl. "He's not gonna stop Brie, don't you under stand?" he dragged in a breath, and closed his eyes only to see nothing but red and his blood boiling when he opened them again. He hasn't been this angry before...and he's been angry. "He's not gonna quit until he has what he wants and that's me miserable as hell, now you and the kids get to a hotel, and tell me where my 'father' is..." Gabriella was about to shake her head, she didn't want lose Troy like that but he was just as stubborn as she was. "Troy, he's at a warehouse...south of here." Troy kissed her on the lips tenderly, giving her the directions to the closest hotel that was also moderately priced. Troy got into the purple prius and drove with furious ferocity to the warehouse, as he drove he leaned over to the glove compartment, and pulled out two things; his .45 mil and his .38 mil, this was going to end. Right now.

Jack was frustrated, he was throwing things against the wall angry. he could of hurt that little boy, but that whore ruined everything.. he thought. he could of made Troy's Life Misrable, but it didn't work. he started to slam his hands on the table. Troy slammed on his breaks, not breaking stride when he jumped out of the car and slammed the door. He put the two guns in his pockets, he wasn't like the 'people of today' who thought wearing skinny jeans for everything was cool, no he hated the damn things, they cut off circulation everywhere. He took a deep breath, but it wasn't for calming his nerves. "JACK!" he called out, he wasn't his father, Jack Bolton quit being his father a long time ago. "JACK! COME OUT AND SHOW YOUR FACE YOU FRIGGING COWARD!"

Jack smirked, hearing his son's voice. So he was here? The bitch must have told him, well he gave Gods mark to the brat, he had something special planned for Troy. He walked toward the door, grabbing the hot iron and a small hand held handgun. Like the guns you see in old Saturday night movies. "Who are you calling a coward?" he hissed, walking down with the hot iron behind his back and the hand gun at his side, but still visible. Troy felt his blood reach its boiling point, "you want me miserable...?" Troy asked, his teeth clenched, and his hands wrapping around the guns tightly. "Well you got it, Gabriella left me..." Jack sneered, walking closer (of course he resembled a predator stalking its prey) "it's for the best...she wasn't worth giving up all your power." Troy felt his lips curl in a defiant sneer. "Shut up you fudging ass!" he brought out his .38 and pointed it at Jack, who only laughed, pointing his gun at Troy. "You think you can kill me this time when you couldn't do it before?" click. Troy pulled the trigger, Jack did the same thing. "I have a surprise for you...son." Troy tensed and his eyes narrowed, his grip tightening on the gun. "come here..." click. Troy pulled out the second gun, his .45 mil. Looks like Jack was out gunned. Jack's sneer nearly fell, but he regained it when he made the bold decision and flung himself at Troy. knocking him to the ground and taking the hot iron and aiming at his forehead, but Troy knocked out of his hand and (seeing as his guns were knocked out of his hand as well) balled his fists up and started hitting Jack in the stomach, as hard as he could. The hot iron was jumbled, and Jack ended up branding Troy through his shirt on his stomach. It was bigger than Zac's and his own, it was a cross with a 'D' going through it. The 'D' was for Demon and the cross was to repel the evil that resided in him. Troy screamed and hit his father harder. Then Troy stood up and pointed the gun at him, "I lost my life...so your gonna lose yours.." Jack smirked, "go ahead, shoot... if your man enough.." "I'm half the man you'll ever be.." he pulled the trigger and shot Jack multiple times sending him to death. Troy was breathing heavy standing up making sure he was dead, and he was, his 'Father' was dead, there was just one thing left to do. Get Gabriella back.

Of course his stomach hurt like hell, he lifted his shirt, seeing the brand that his 'father' had given him. He touched it lightly and it still stung like a bitch. He groaned, and put his shirt done, it would get infected, but he's dealt with a lot worse; he'll deal with it later. As he moved to walk out to his car, he turned to see the body of the man that had claimed to be his father. He frowned and he drew in a tired and pained breath, the mark on his stomach starting to spread through his body. The pain hurt like a bitch. He looked around, seeing a can of gasoline, and then a lighter on a table. Jack Bolton really was all brawn and no brain. He poured the gas all over Jack, then he flicked the lighter on and watched the orange flame dance, "this is for Gabriella...Zac...Brooklyn and Jayden." he whispered, he dropped the lighter and his father was emmersed in flames.

Troy walked away as his father burned, he opened the car, and looked back. he had no guilt, he jumped in his car and drove to the hotel where his family was. when he arrived there, he jumped out of the car and ran into the hotel, he ran to the front desk, "Is Gabriella Montez on your check in list?" he asked in a rush, the woman looked at him, "I"m sorry sir, she just checked out about 3 minutes ago.."

"What?" Troy asked, his tone incrdulous, his eyebrows raising. "How could she-ugh!" he grabbed his stomach, clutching it tightly the burn from before feeling like his whole body was set ablaze. The woman behind the desk had a panicked expression, "Should I call the doctor,"Troy breathed heavily, but shook his head. This wasn't about him. "No, I want...my fiance," his stomach hurt like a bitch. The woman nodded and listened as Troy gave her Gabriella's cell number, she dialed it and it rang three times before Gabriella could answer it. "Hello?" Gabriella's voice was timid, she had every reason to be. Troy winced, but tried to hide it. "What?" Troy asked, his tone incrdulous, his eyebrows raising. "How could she-ugh!" he grabbed his stomach, clutching it tightly the burn from before feeling like his whole body was set ablaze. The woman behind the desk had a panicked expression, "Should I call the doctor,"Troy breathed heavily, but shook his head. This wasn't about him. "No, I want...my fiance," his stomach hurt like a bitch. The woman nodded and listened as Troy gave her Gabriella's cell number, she dialed it and it rang three times before Gabriella could answer it. "Hello?" Gabriella's voice was timid, she had every reason to be. Troy winced, but tried to hide it.

Troy smiled at the sound of her voice, he needed her, "Gabs, it's me Troy.. where are you?" he asked. and she sighed, "I'm back home... packing more stuff.." she told him, "Your not leaving gabs..I'm on my way.." he ran out of the hotel before Gabriella could answer him. he jumped in the car and drove back to the house. when he pulled up, he jumped out of the car and busted through the door. he ran up the stairs and he found her in the bedroom, she looked at him, and he pushed her onto the bed and kissed her passionately. he didn't care that his stomach hurt, he wanted to feel her. She moaned into the kiss, relishing in the feel of his hands. He was not his father in least or slightest. Her hands found the buttons on the front of his shirt, unpopping the buttons, her movements were shaking and hesitant, but Troy was patient; he deepened the kiss, feeling her chest squish against him. "Brie..." he murmured, "Feel me Brie..." Gabriella undid the first button, then the second, his button was off when a little bit of impatience leaked out and he tore it off of him. Gabriella brushed her hands against his chest, moaning when Troy lifted the hem of her shirt, tickling her navel and sending shivers through out her veins. Her hands roamed down, then they felt something...Troy pulled away, his face contorted in a pained grimace as his hand flew to the brand.

Gabriella looked at his chest and she gasped, "Troy, oh my god..what...what happened?" she tried to touch the burn, but he flinched, "Brie.." he hissed, "sorry... does it hurt?" she asked him, and he nodded, "we need to get you to the hospital." she tried to get up but he pulled her back down, "no.." he spoke, "but your hurt-" "I don't care...I just want to feel you...I want to feel you... that makes me feel alot better.." he spoke holding her hand as their bodies were squished against each other. Gabriella was about to protest, but Troy devoured her lips once more, ripping her shirt from her body and his hands swiftly taking off the sweats that hid her shapely legs. His hands were warm and caressing, Gabriella moaned, her hands undoing the button and zipper on his pants, they worked together pushing and sliding down his jeans and entangling their bareness together. "Troy..." Gabriella moaned, Troy moaned as well, her touch tickling him; but he knew that she was being careful to avoid touching the burn. It was 10 minutes later that they were intertwined with the sheets and Gabriella still under Troy as he kissed from her ear to the hollow of her throat to each breast and down to her navel and back again.

she moaned softly as he did this, and as he was coming back to her ear, her lips caught his and were kissing passionately for a little bit. Gabriella smiled at him, and he smiled back, "I love you brie, so much... promise me right now... "he grabbed her hand that was on his lower back, and he kissed it, "that you will never ever leave me.." she looked away to not face him, "I can't promise that Troy...his gonna hurt you... and I don't want to see you get hurt..." tears were escaping from her eyes.

"He won't hurt you again...not ever." Troy said, kissing her jawline and whispering in her ear. Gabriella moaned again, "how can you be sure?" Troy used his hand to tickle her sides, but they were feather light so they were more like caresses, "I made sure of it. He won't ever come back again." Gabriella turned to ask him what he meant by that, but he captured her lips again, devouring them she moaned just as the phone rang, but no one answered it. Troy went to roll over on his side, letting Gabriella straddle him, but something went wrong and he grimaced loudly, his face contorted and twisted in pain. Gabriella gasped, "Troy what's wrong..." his hand went to his burn which, some how, had seemed to have split open. "I'll call Jason." Jason and Kelsi had grown to be their friends. "oh my god..."Gabriella paniced and called jason, "hello." Jason said politely. "Jason it's me, Gabriella.." she spoke. "Hi Gabi, is everything ok?" "No, Troy is hurt, please get over here, please..." she paniced, "what's wrong with him?" he asked, "he has a burn, and it split open, please..please come over I can't lose him.." she sobbed with tears coming out, "I'll be over there soon Gabi.." he hung up, and she sat beside Troy, "Troy I am so so sorry..." Jason arrived with his doctor bag, Gabriella only left Troy's side to open the door for him and show him to the bedroom, but other than that she was with him the whole time. Tears were streaming down her face, Troy was practically in a fetal position cradling himself as his arms wrapped around his stomach, the sheets below him were drenched in blood. Jason started work immediately and Gabriella just grabbed his hand, but it wasn't easy, his hands were tense and every movement made Troy groan and almost scream in sheer agony. "Troy...please...Troy..." she kissed his knuckles, Jason began prying Troy's arms away from his stomach, Gabriella had to hold both his arms. Jason began stitching his side.

Troy was groaning, and he was in pain as Jason did this, but he knew once he did it, he could be alone with Gabriella, and also it would heal, so he had to face the pain. about 5 minutes later, Jason was done, "Thank you so much." Gabriella hugged him, "It's not problem gabs, but he will be having to have the stiches out in 2 weeks." Gabriella nodded and walked jason to the door. Gabriella came back and threw the bloody sheets in the washer, and Troy put on a shirt and gym shorts and walked over to her, were she was wearing some sweatpants and a plane old T-shirt. he wrapped his arms around her and kissed her back. she smiled and turned to him, "what did you do to your dad Troy...I want to know the truth.." she looked up at him in the eyes. He sighed, his eyes not meeting hers, more like looking through hers. His hands went to rest on his hips, he groaned slightly at the movement, but it wasn't as bad as before. "Brie, it's...complicated," his voice was barely there, Gabriella wrapped her arms around his neck and stared deeper into his eyes-they say the eyes are the windows to the soul. "Please tell me," Troy remained silent, he wanted to tell her the truth, but at the same time, he couldn't tell her. He didn't want to frighten her away.

He sighed and grabbed her hands, "Before I tell you, It was something I had to do, and I will never ever do it to anyone ever again..." he said, "Troy your scaring me a little bit.." he sighed and rubbed his face, "I killed him brie..." he said in a low whisper, "what..." she spoke. "I..I killed him... after what he did to you... it made me go insane thinking the way he hurt you... I just...I'm sorry.." he looked away from her. she sighed, "It's ok... " she spoke soflty, he turned to her and hugged her, "I love you brie.." he spoke, "I love you too Troy.." and the stood there kissing each other passionately.
