Chapter 28

After the night Gabriella stayed with Troy, their relationship grew stronger. Her father never found out about it either and Michelle had no idea it had happened. Michelle didn't even know that they had gotten back together; that is until she saw them together.

"Michelle, are you still trying to get Troy?" Samantha asked.

"No. I'm done with that. I mean I still like him but I've already broken my sister's heart. She won't even talk to me."

"I think your sister's over what happened."

"What do you mean?"

"Look over there." Michelle looked into the direction Samantha pointed and spotted Troy and Gabriella together. They seemed to just be talking until he leaned down and kissed her.

"Oh, sure she forgives him but not me," Michelle said and walked over to them. "Gabriella, can we talk?" she asked her sister. Gabriella rolled her eyes before grabbing Troy's hand and walking towards the school building. "Gabi, wait a second." Gabriella didn't turn around. "Will you please just stop and talk to me?"

"What am I supposed to say?" Gabriella yelled and turned around. "What? That I forgive you for sleeping with my boyfriend? Cause I don't."

"I'm sorry. Okay? I really am."

"No you're not. You just want me to believe that. Truth is all you want is for me to forgive you so you can try and go after Troy again."

"Can you blame me if I wanted his attention?"

"So you became a cheerleader just so you could get some attention from him?"

"Yes. But it never happened because all his focus was on you. Because of you I had to settle for second best."

"So Ralph didn't rape you." She gave a short laugh and shook her head. "He was telling the truth."

"Yeah, I slept with him willingly. But I didn't want him."

"Of course not. You wanted the one who didn't want you." She shook her head and looked at her sister with angry eyes. "You're such a selfish bitch, you know that? You wanted to get rid of the only good thing in my life just because you couldn't get over your school girl crush. Why would you want to do that Chelle? Why would you want to get rid of the only thing that makes me happy?"

"Because you're always the one getting attention. Even from daddy you get the most attention."

"You think I want that? I don't want his attention. I could live without that attention. But he makes me the center of his attention."

"He didn't make you. You wanted it and you know it. Ever since mom died, he's been ignoring you. Only giving you attention when you did something wrong. But then you hit puberty and all his focus was on you. You finally got the attention you wanted."

"I didn't want that kind of attention."

"No, but you took it anyway. Just face the truth, Gabriella. You may not have liked the kind of attention he gave you but you stuck with it. All those times you ran away, you came back. Why? Because you wanted daddy's attention."

"That's not true. I came back for you. I came back because I didn't want to leave you."

"He wouldn't have done anything to me. He would have left me alone."

"You don't know that, Chelle."

"I do know that. I know that daddy would never touch me the way he touches you. You like having him touch you in that way because it's the only attention you'll ever get from him." Michelle saw the shock in her sister's eyes and that's when she realized she had basically told the entire student body that their father rapes her sister.

Gabriella shook her head and ran inside. Troy looked at Michelle with disappointment before running after Gabriella.

"Nice going M&M," Ralph said, coming up behind her. "Now the whole student body knows that you fucked me willingly and that your sister is your father's toy."

"I didn't mean for that to come out."

"Anger gets the best of everyone, doesn't it?" he said before walking away from her. Michelle looked over at Samantha who was just as shocked as everyone else. Michelle ran inside and into the nearest girl's bathroom to cry over what she had just done.

Troy found Gabriella in the garden with her head in her hands, sobs racking her body. He sat down next to her and rubbed her back.

"It's okay, Brie," he said and she shook her head.

"No it's not. Everyone knows now. Everyone knows that my father rapes me."

"No they don't. They just know what they want to know. Everyone will just be making assumptions about what Michelle said."

"And they'll all come to the same conclusion that I'm my father's fuck toy." He sighed and kissed her shoulder. "She's right you know," she said lifting her head but not looking him in the eye. "Everything Michelle said about me is right. I didn't want to believe it but it's true."

"No it's not."

"Yes it is. When my mother died, my father wouldn't even look at me. The only time he paid any attention to me was when I did something wrong. Then when I turned twelve I began changing and he began actually paying attention to me. I was so happy. I thought that maybe he was getting over the fact that my mother had died because of me.

But I was wrong. About a month after my twelfth birthday, I...I got my period." Troy blushed but took her hand, telling her to continue. "And that's when it started. That's when the sexual abuse started. But I was so bent on having my father's attention that I didn't care. I took it anyway.

I even made a deal with my father that he could do whatever he wanted to me as long as he left Michelle alone. I just wanted his attention. That's all I wanted but it wasn't how I wanted it. Michelle has a right to want attention from you. I've been stealing our father's attention from her for the past six years."

"Maybe it's a good thing I gave all my attention to you," Troy said and she looked at him.

"What do you mean?"

"If I hadn't given you all my attention, you'd still want your father's. If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't have experienced the type of attention that doesn't revolve around sex but around love." She smiled at him and squeezed his hand. "Your sister will soon realize that wanting attention isn't the same thing as needing. She wants it." He kissed the back of her hand and looked into her eyes. "You need it."

"I don't know how I came to deserve you, but I'm glad I have you," she said as she leaned against him.

"Believe me, Brie. You deserve me more than I deserve you," he whispered into her ear before placing a kiss to the side of her head.

The entire day the school was talking about Michelle and Gabriella's argument. As Gabriella had predicted, all of their conclusions added up to Gabriella being sexually abused by her father. Gabriella tried to ignore all the whispers that resounded when she walked through the hallways but it was hard to do.

It was even harder during lunch when everyone seemed to be staring at her. Gabriella kept her eyes low and her head down. Taylor and Amanda felt sorry for Gabriella and they wished that everyone would just leave her alone.

"Do you people mind?" Sharpay's voice rang out and the three girls looked up. "Stop being so damn nosy. Mind your own business." Everyone turned back to their friends so they wouldn't have to face the wrath of the Ice Queen.

"Thanks, Sharpay," Gabriella said and Sharpay smiled before seating herself next to the brunette.

"It's nothing. People just can't seem to mind their business. Anyway. I'm having a Christmas party next week and I'm personally inviting you three and your dates."

"Wow, Evans. You've never invited us anywhere before," Amanda commented.

"That's because you were never friends with Troy's love interest before."

"Oh sure; that's exactly why." Amanda rolled her eyes and Sharpay turned her attention to Gabriella.

"So are you coming?"

"I don't know. I'll try but I'm not promising anything."

"Okay. Then I'll see you around. Toodles ladies," she said and left the table.

"That girl just keeps amazing me," Taylor said.

"Yeah. I heard she told off your sister that day that you broke up with Troy." Amanda told Gabriella.

"Really?"

"Yeah. I wonder if she's planning something."

"Stop with your suspicions. See if it were Samantha coming over here to invite Gabriella somewhere, then I would be suspicious," Taylor said as she started eating her food.

"Yeah that's true. So Gabriella, how did Troy take the whole fight between you and your sister?"

"He was actually really supportive. He didn't judge me at all. Even when I told him that everything Michelle said about me and getting attention from my father was true." The two girls looked at each other. They had only heard stories of the argument between the Montez sisters since they weren't there. They had heard about Michelle accusations towards her sister but they didn't know they were true.

"So you mean...you really do want attention from your father in that way?"

"I did. Before Troy showed me that I didn't need that type of attention. I think that's probably why I was so mad when I found out about the game Troy had been playing with his friends. I was tired of getting that type of attention so I didn't want it from anyone else."

"You two definitely need each other," Taylor said and Gabriella smiled.

"Yeah...I guess we do."
