Note: Well! Here you guys go, the next chapter. So what is Gabriella really doing? Number of things! Burning, cutting, a tattoo, um…

other things. Well I don't own anything in here, on with the story!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Troy was speechless, "Gabby…….why? Why in the hell would you do that!" He felt tears form in his eyes.

Gabriella pulled her arm away, "It isn't a big deal." She shrugged and started walking off.

"Not a big deal! No, your right, it's a huge deal!" He grabbed her arm and pulled her back gently, "Now tell me, why Gabby? Why

would you cut yourself?"

Gabriella sighed and looked down. She turned her wrist over and looked at the small cuts. There weren't many, and they were faded, but

there were a lot of scars that were also fading.

"Gabby, tell me, please…Don't hide anything from me…please….tell me…" He felt a tear run down his cheek.

She whipped it away, but she couldn't tell him. It would hurt herself for telling him, but it would hurt him more. "I-I just did…" She

whispered, trying not to cry herself.

"No, not good enough, I want the truth…" He gently grabbed her hand and held it in his.

"The truth? You want the truth, Troy? It would hurt you too badly if you knew why…" She whispered and looked away.

"I don't care, I want to know why, I want to be able to try and fix it…" He whispered and kissed her cheek gently.

She couldn't help it, she began to cry. She didn't care who saw or who heard, but she did care that Troy was seeing her like this.

"Gabby?" He whispered and whipped away the falling tears, "Why?" he whispered in her ear.

"It was because of you…" She looked away.

His eyes widened, "What?" he gasped.

"You…it was because of you…" She looked down.
