Previously

A week passed, Gabriella had more bruises, but Troy had no answers for Gabby's bruises
that seemed reasonable to him.


Wednesday Night

Troy decided to surprise Gabby tonight. What he didn't know was that he wasn't the only one going to visit her.

As he walked over to her house, he saw Ms. Montez drive out of the driveway, and a familiar car parked on the road.

He climbed the tree, but heard screams.

He quickly jumped on to the balcony, his eyes grew wide when he focused on what was going on inside.

Ryan had thrown Gabriella against a mirror, Troy winced when he heard the mirror shatter.

Ryan had walked over to her and held her close to him, and muttered something to her.

Gabriella's eyes widen, and shook her head furiously.

Ryan drew back his fist.

Troy pounded on the balcony door.

Both heads snapped to look at him.

Ryan glarred at him before grabbing Gabriella and dragging her out of her room.

Troy quickly climbed back down the tree and ran out of the yard, but Ryan's car had already sped down the road.

At School the Next Day

Troy dashed to school, he saw Chad and Taylor making out at Taylor's locker.

He pushed the two apart, "Have you seen Gabby?"

Chad said with annoyance, "No."

"Ryan?" Troy said ignoring Chad's tone.

"No, why?" Taylor asked polietly.

Troy didn't answer, but sped off to find Sharpay.

Chad shrugged, and him and Taylor went back to their make out session.

Troy found Sharpay in front of her locker checking her make-up.

"Have you seen Ryan?" Troy said loudly.

"Nope, he said he wasn't coming to school today," Sharpay said not really caring.

"Oh my god, this is bad."

"Tell the group to meet me in the gym after school," Troy ordered.

Sharpay said, "Why the gym? Pee-you."

Troy rolled his eyes, "Just do it."

Gym

"Okay, so hurry it up, this place smells bad," Sharpay said after everyone had taken a seat on the bleachers.

"Remember what I told you guys what Gabby told me?" Troy asked.

"The one about my brother raping her and the abusing thing?" Sharpay said.

"Yeah, and how we thought it was a lie, it wasn't."

"Explain."

"I saw Ryan abusing her," Troy said calmly.

"What!" the gang exclaimed.

"Remember a few weeks ago, when I had told you guys that Gabby had cheated on me. And Ryan came by and started apologizing, it wasn't about the cheating, it was about him raping her at your-Sharpay's-party," Troy said calmly, pointing to Sharpay.

"Oh my god," Sharpay mumbled.

"Where is she now?" Kelsi asked.

"Gone."

"What?"

"Ryan took her somewhere, and I called her mom this morning and Gabby wasn't there," Troy said sadly.

The girls bursted into tears, while the boys blinked furiously trying to keep the tears drom streaming down their faces.

"Why aren't you crying?" Kelsi asked as their cries started to die down.

"I had my share of tears earlier," Troy quietly

"If only we had believed her!" Taylor muttered.

They had chose not to believe her and she was gone.

(Forever?)
