Chapter 21- Hairspray

Gabriella jumped as she heard a bang from downstairs. Her eyes immediately went to the clock beside her and Troy's bed.

Was Troy home early? It was only 8:00pm and he wasn't due home till way gone 12 at the least.

Gabriella swallowed loudly. If it wasn't Troy then who was there? Maybe it was just Chad or someone he did things like that sometimes came in from the back because he wanted to be more exclusive, than everybody else who used the front door. He had done it a couple of time when the were I high school especially in Troy's house because Troy never locked the back door.

The back door!

Gabriella felt her heart jump into her throat. Please say Troy locked the back door. He had a horrible habit for leaving the back door unlocked.

Gabriella jumped again and she heard another thump from downstairs followed by someone cursing, and it didn't sound nothing like Chad. She could have sworn she had heard the voice before but she couldn't but a face to the name.

She grabbed her cell and run into the bathroom at the back of there bedroom to scared to even think about leaving the room.

She punched in Troy's number as fast as she could her fingers shaking making it harder to press the buttons. She placed it to her ear leaving to ring begging him in her head to her his phone and pick it up.

It kept ringing

And ringing

Answer phone. Shit!.

"Troy come home as soon as you get this there's someone in the house and I don't know who it is" Gabriella spoke into the answer phone on the verge of tears as she spoke. She was terrified.!

She could hear footsteps on the staircase, it sounded like trainers thumping against the wooden flooring they were covered in.

Gabriella looked around the bathroom to something Anything that she could use to defend herself something that might help her.

There was nothing.

Shot trust her to run into the bathroom instead of staying in a bedroom where there was things to throw.

Why didn't she keep that baseball bat Chad gave to her for when things like this happened. Oh but look when it is happening she hasn't got it. Dam Troy for making her throw it out when they moved in together telling her that he would protect her.

"Gabriella I know your in here"

Gabriella's legs became weak as she heard the male voice ring out in her home. They knew she was here they had seen her come in and watched her.

She still couldn't put a name to the voice that she knew she recognised. Who was here?

Gabriella's eyes scanned the bathroom again as she looked for something that could protect her. Her eyes caught the hairspray can that was resting on the sink. She ran over and grabbed it. It was better than nothing and she wasn't willing to take the chance of having nothing.

She heard her bedroom door slam against the wall causing her to jump about 4 foot in her air. Her heart was pounding against her chest, and she could feel bile rising in her throat. She felt sick.

The door knob on the bathroom door turned and Gabriella screamed spraying the hairspray can in front of her. She could hear the person scream as she continued to spray it in what she was sure was the persons eyes.

She sopped spraying as he heard the body thud to the floor, in pain of being attack by hairspray.

Gabriella opened her eyes, them slightly beginning to sting from the mist of the hairspray that was covering the bathroom.

Her eyes looked down to the body hunched over on the floor.

"Who are you ad what are you doing here?" Gabriella asked her voice shaking as she looked at the body on the floor.

Gabriella gasped and dropped the hairspray can as she saw who it was.

"Oh my god DAD!" Gabriella screamed as she run over to the sink and wet a flannel before heading back over to him and giving it to him.

"Dad what the hell were you doing you scared the living daylights out of me" Gabriella said as she took the flannel off her dad and started to bath his eyes for him.

"Well I came to see my daughter to see hoe things were going, but instead she decided to try and blind me by spraying something in my eyes what was it" he flinched as he opened his eyes a little bit feeling them sting.

"Hairspray but why didn't you use the front door dad there is such thing as knocking you know" Gabriella told him as she looked at his slightly bloodshot eyes.

"I wanted to surprise you instead or disturbing you" He told her "I used the trick Chad always used to use in our house when you were all younger" Her dad explained to her.

"Yeah well in future don't dad I was so scared I thought someone was trying to kill me" Gabriella explained to him.

"I'm sorry princess but I would say we were even although your was more vicious than mine" Carlos joked he always did know how o make a bad situation better.

Troy walked up to his office. The club was closing and the bouncers were just getting the last few people out before they could lock up.

He took is phone out from the pocket of his jacket. 1 missed call, 1 voicemail from Gabriella.

That was strange she never normally called him at work. She knew he was normally busy with everything.

He listened to his voicemail.

"Troy come home as soon as you get this there's someone in the house and I don't know who it is"

Gabriella's voice rung out in his ears. He could hear the panic and the fear in her voice.

He slammed his phone shut and grabbed his jacket running out of his office, and brushing past James in the process.

He jumped In is car and slammed on the ignition the tires screeching as he sped down the road home to his wife he hoped.

"Bye dad but in future please use the front door" Gabriella laughed as she waved to her father in his car.

Carlos laughed "I'll remember that it might be a lot less painful" Carlos joked back "Bye Princess" Carlos said as he blew his daughter a kiss before driving off.

Gabriella walked back into the house and into the living room it was late Troy should be home soon.

Troy jumped out of his car not even locking it as he run to his front door forcing the key into the lock and he twisted it causing it to fly open and crack against the wall.

"GABRIELLA" Troy screamed through the house as he looked around for the love of his life.

"GABRIELLA!"

"Troy I'm right here" Gabriella said as she come out of the living room slightly frightened by the way Troy come in screaming for her.

Troy grabbed her pulling her into his arms "What happened did he hurt who was here" Troy asked panicked and angry in case anyone had laid a finger on her.

Oh shit she had forgot about the voicemail she had left on Troy's phone when she was in the bathroom.

"Oh Troy I'm sorry" Gabriella said "It was my dad but I didn't know that I though someone had broke in the was crashing he come through the back door like Chad used to I was scared Troy I though someone was trying to hurt me" Gabriella rushed to explain to him.

Troy sighed a breath of relief as she he squeezed her even tighter to him.

"Baby I was so scared I would never of been able to forgive myself if anything happened to you" Troy told her as he placed a single kiss on the top of her head.

"Im sorry it was a mistake" she told him snuggling into his arms.

Little did she know it wasn't a mistake. It was a warning.
