I've had a real disney day today, literally, Twitches Too this morning, the wizards of waverly place, some of The suite life, some Hannah Montana, then Go figure this afternoon, that's why this chapter wasn't put up untill now.

Gabriella's POV

"Hey Gabsy," I turned from my locker to face the source of the voice, knowing who I would see; only one person has ever called me Gabsy, and he'd only ever called me it when I was mad at him.

"You must have a death wish," I stated, glaring at him, "No pun intended."

"Not really," He answered perkily, "I've been wanting to talk to you."

"Weird, because I want you to go back to Washington and never speak to me again." I answered.

"You have to talk to me sometime Gabsy, deal with it. Where are your bodyguards now anyway?" He asked, looking up and down the hall.

"Around," I said in an assuring voice, trying to convince myself more than him, where was everyone? "Troy will kill you if he catches you talking to me."

"He won't catch me," Kieran replied, "I made sure of that."

"What did you do to him?" I shot, suddenly worried.

"Lets just say Katelyn has him otherwise engaged," Kieran smiled.

"Katelyn?" I stuttered, "She wouldn't."

"Gabsy, I'm her bro, she'll do whatever I ask her to." He told me.

I looked around at everyone else in the hall, none of them were paying any attention to us, he really had planned this, he must have figured out who Troy had watching him and made sure they were busy.

"None of them will come," He confirmed my thoughts, "they're all busy, I think they got their wires crossed, you know, they all think one of the others is here."

"Get away from me," I demanded, trying to be stronger.

"Gabsy you know I would, but you're mine, I told you that two years ago, it still stands now, and I don't see your soon to be ex-boyfriend around to protect you, it's just you and me," He retorted as I began to smile.

"Look again," Troy growled from behind him, Kieran turned to face him as he was told, "Your sister isn't as loyal as you think, if you like your ability to walk, stay away from Gabi, because next time I won't be so civil."

Kieran nodded and ran down the corridor, I had no idea Troy could be so intimidating.

"Are you ok?" He asked, back to his concerned self.

"I think so," I answered as he hugged me, "He said he'd made sure you wouldn't come, I was so scared, I tried not to show it but I think it did."

"Shhhhh, I'm here," He reassured, "He can't hurt you now,"

"What happened?" I asked tearfully, "He said Katelyn was making sure you didn't come."

Troy's POV

I had been expecting that question, and was glad she had asked it; she needed to know how loyal her friend was to her.

I began to explain it, recalling the conversation to her.

Flashback

"Interesting," Katelyn answered half-heartedly as I finished telling her about how Gabi and I first met.

She kept glancing nervously in the direction her brother had gone when he'd seen me five minutes ago.

"You have to find Gabi." She stated after a while.

"Why?" I asked, unsure of why she seemed so worried, "Is she ok?"

"I don't know, Kieran asked me to distract you so he could talk to her, if you hadn't started going on about how you guys met then I could have already told you and you could have got to her first, just go, find her, don't let him get to her," The girl ordered.

I turned and ran in the direction he had gone, freaking out that he could be with Gabi right now, confused that Katelyn told me and proven she was on our side over her brother.

I turned the corner to Gabi's locker and saw him trying to talk to her, she didn't look uncomfortable, she was past that: she was scared, I could sense her fear as I sprinted towards them, I had to get him away.

End Flashback

I put a protective arm around her and walked her out of school, thinking that I probably would have taken her home even if it weren't the end of that day.

She was silent on the way to her dad's, absent-mindedly staring out of the window; Kieran getting near her had clearly shaken her.

"This hasn't made you want to move has it?" I decided to ask; suddenly worried she'd decide to go with her mom because of him.

She shook her head and then said, "No that's what he wants, he wants me to be scared of him, and I won't give him the satisfaction."

I smiled at that; despite the shock she was still the same Gabi that wouldn't let anybody win.

"You don't need to be scared of him," I told her truthfully, "I'll never leave you alone again, not while there's a chance he can get near."

She didn't answer, just went back to staring out of the window.

Andrew was talking on his cell in front of the house when we arrived, he seemed to be fighting with someone, and he hung up the phone as soon as we got out of the truck.

"Who was that?" Gabriella asked as we reached him.

"Kevin," He sighed, "Trying to cause trouble, don't worry, I can handle it."

She smiled and went inside, unwittingly giving me the perfect opportunity to talk to her father; he was already looking at me, probably wondering why I hadn't followed her.

"Something happened today," I told him, "Kieran got near her, he was threatening her, very subtly though, if you heard it you wouldn't think it was a threat, not unless you know him and what he did."

Andrew nodded, contemplating the information before saying, "He has to go, I don't care what it takes, I want that boy away from my daughter."

I nodded and followed Gabriella inside, knowing that he understood that the situation had just got worse, Kieran didn't know that Andrew Travers was Gabriella's dad, he also didn't know that the money of the Travers family could buy them absolutely anything, the only problem was, the money was mostly in possession of Andrew's parents, his parents who didn't understand the full extent of the threat Kieran was.

Isobel's POV

"Mommy, are we really gonna move if Gabi won't come?" I asked as soon as dad was out of earshot.

"She'll come Isobel, you know she's coming," Mom tried telling me.

"But she said she won't come, she said you can't make her, and she won't even talk to you, and her dad said she can stay with him and…" I began to rant.

"Isobel, how do you know all this?" Mom asked me.

"Er, Gabi e-mailed me," I lied, "Mom, I don't want to leave her."

"Bella Bear, we won't leave her," Mom reassured using the nickname I hadn't heard since we thought dad was dead.

"But she hates dad, she won't go anywhere with him," I pointed out, trying to make her deal with what was really happening.

"Sweetie, your sister will come with us, everything will be ok, we'll be a family again, just like we all want." Mom tried.

"You go on thinking that," I told her, "but Gabi won't come, she wants to stay here and you can't stop her."

I walked back upstairs and into my room, I'd brought my sisters laptop in here so my parents didn't get suspicious as to why I was in her room, I'd been e-mailing Allie at least once an hour since I got home from school. But I hadn't heard anything from Gabi since I'd returned her cell and the book the day before.

I opened my inbox again expecting e-mail from Allie, I had 3 new messages, two of them were from my friend, the other one caught my attention before those two, it was from Taylor, she'd never e-mailed me before, I opened it and started to read.

Isobel

No matter what happens, do not tell anyone what I am about to tell you, especially Gabi or Troy, I'm sure by now you've figured out who Kieran is, Gabi said that your mom told her that he was the reason you had to move, all you need to know is that Kieran is a bad person and your Mom's worried that he'll hurt your sister, I'm gonna get to the point, I need you to delay the move, I know it's Wednesday, but the gang and I have a plan, we can get rid of Kieran by Thursday but not Wednesday, do whatever you can, if we do this, then you won't have to move, I know this doesn't explain everything, you just have to trust me, I know you can do this, just be creative.

Taylor

I re-read the message numerous times before mentally agreeing to do what I was being asked to, I was involved in the master plan of the coolest high-schoolers I know, it feels great to be finally involved in something, even if it is only for a few days.
