Hey ok so I know Crossroads should be the next story I work on but I have changed my mind about going in order of what to write…lol…I never keep the same decision when it comes to stories. Just ask my YouTube viewers when I used to do them. So I can't believe how many reviews I got on the last chapter. I thought I was losing reviews but then the last chapter got into the double digits. I should do cliff hangers more often…lol…Oh I realized I made a mistake in one of the chapters saying Marcus was in college, he is not in college, he is a senior when Gabriella and them are juniors. So here is the next chapter. I hope you enjoy!

Chapter 25

You Killed Your Brother

They were interrupted when they heard a chuckle, "Well isn't that sweet."

Gabriella turned to see the person and was in shock, "Danny?"

Adam then saw the person standing next to the one guy, "Dad?"

Troy stood confused as Gabriella shook her head, "What are you doing here? You're both supposed to be in jail."

"Well you see sweet cheeks," Danny smirked a little, "I have friends who helped me escape and of course I couldn't leave your Daddy alone, now could I? So I had him come with me. Aren't you happy to see me?"

"How can I be happy?" She shook her head again moving Adam behind her, "I never want to see you again after everything you put everyone through. Your parents, your brothers and your sister, even us. No one wants you around, you deserve to go rot in jail."

"Brothers?" Danny chuckled, "I only have one brother."

Gabriella crossed her arms glaring at him, "Yeah because you killed Max."

"I didn't kill him," he shook his head with a small smirk on his face, "he wanted to go into the ocean, I didn't."

"Yeah and you didn't push him right?" she scoffed a little, "He had a life going for him. Max was taking care of Marcus and Sharpay when your parents weren't arm when you were across the country, doing God knows what. Max was going to NYU, he had a great future ahead of him and you took that away from him. You took Marcus and Sharpay's only real brother away from them. You took my best friend away from me."

"Best friend?" Danny walked up to her crossing her arms, "I was your best friend. You said that I was your favorite cousin. I was always the one you could go crying too. I was the one that had the life going for me not him. He was a loser that yeah did take our stupid siblings under his sleeves. Who is doing it now? Oh yeah, Marcus is taking care of him and Sharpay. I was their brother so don't tell me that I took their only real brother away. I gave them everything."

"You gave them nothing," Gabriella pushed him away from her, "you used to be my best friend before you became a jerk five years ago leaving. You were 21 fucking years old and you acted like a child who wasn't getting anything he wanted. Now that I think of it, it was all because you started drinking. Isn't that right? Once you started drinking, you became an alcoholic, you started beating Sharpay when were only twelve, you even beat me when I was at your house. Sharpay and I were always too scared to say anything but then we finally told Max who confronted you with it right and told you that he was going to call the cops on you. He was 17 at the time but he was smart enough and mature enough to do everything he did, so you just got up and left. Then we were living a happy life until he came back two years ago and murdered your own brother. I hate you. Your parents hate you. Marcus hates you. Sharpay hates you. Adam hates you. You know who probably doesn't hate you? Max. If he lived through you trying to murder you, he would have probably eventually forgiven you because that was the kind of guy he was. So don't tell me that you gave your brother and sister everything because you took everything away from them."

Troy stood there in shock hearing everything Gabriella was saying. He didn't know about this part of her life. He knew Gabriella and Adam have been through a lot but he didn't know this. He looked down at Adam and saw him a little scared so he placed his arm around his shoulders to reassure him that it's going to be ok. Troy then looked around seeing that there were eyes looking at the confrontation everywhere around the room.

"Gabriella…" Greg took a step forward.

"Don't," Gabriella held her hand up at her father as she looked at him, "You did this. You created him. You created yourself. You destroyed this family. If you didn't take Danny out to his first night out drinking, he may not have become an alcoholic. He did everything because of him being drunk and there was nothing anyone could do to stop him. You are a monster, not just because of that but because of what you did for a living if you really want to call it a job."

Greg sighed, "Gabriella, let's just talk."

"No I talk, you listen and answer questions," he nodded his head knowing she wasn't going to listen to him, "First question, how long have you been in that business?"

"Since Adam was born."

"Twelve years?" Greg nodded which made her get mad, "So you've been cheating on Mom since then? Since well I've heard what you also did with those girls who you hired. So is that true too?"

"Yes."

She shook her head, "Is it also true that you were going to treat me that way once I turned 17? You were going to make me join the drug dealing business?"

"That was the plan," Greg nodded, "but I was going to stop. I did stop. That night, I was arrested, I was going to change, I enjoyed being with you and Adam so I was making the choice to stop. I was going to appoint someone else the leader that very next day but I didn't have time when the police showed up at the door."

"I don't believe you. I can't believe anything you say," she shook her head, "for twelve years, you were a different person, a hidden person. You didn't start showing changes until Mom died and I think I know why. It's because you didn't have to hide it as much, because you thought it was going to be easier, since she died, you didn't have to keep answering to her questions of why you worked so late but you were still home. I get it now. I also get that I don't think I'll ever forgive you and you shouldn't seek out for my forgiveness. Either of you," she looked at Danny to her father, "I hate you both for almost destroying our whole family. Max would still be here if it wasn't for you, Mom maybe would've been happier or alive because she wouldn't have had the stress on her. I'm calling the police if no one here has done so already because you two deserve to live your lives in jail and to never ever be able to come out even if it means escaping. I'm done. This is the last time I will speak to either of you."

Gabriella took a step back before reaching into her pocket for her cell phone but a teacher walked up to her saying that the police were already on their way. She nodded before glaring at the two guys standing in front of her. One with an angry face and another with an almost guilty face. I think you could figure out which one is which but if you can't, Danny is the one with the angry face and Greg is the one with the almost guilty face.

"You may remain silence, anything you say from here on out will be held against you," one of the police officers was saying as Danny and Greg were getting handcuffed, "you will not be able to speak to your family members and you will also not be able to escape again. We have a very special place for prisoners like you who think they can get away with the law. You understand?"

Greg and Danny both nodded before being taken away with two officers. Everyone watched them go off, some with confusion in their faces which were the kids and some with concern faces for the two men's family. Troy, Gabriella, and Adam stood there watching them leave. Gabriella had her hands on Adam's shoulders as she stood behind him, Troy had his arm around Gabriella's waist and she leaned her body against his.

Adam sighed before looking up at his sister, "Can we go home?"

Troy looked at Gabriella who just nodded. The three of them started heading out of the school. They knew that this was going to be a hard thing to get by but also knew that they could. Troy knew that he was going to be there for both Gabriella and Adam because they needed him now, probably more than ever especially Gabriella. Just when things were going along smoothly, drama had to happen. Hopefully that will be the last for these teenagers and pre-teen.

So what did you think? Shocked at everything that happened? Did you like this chapter? What do you think should happen next chapter? Will Adam and Gabriella be ok after this? Please leave a review. Thank you!
