Last chapter

It had now become dark and they were looking up at the stars.

"I never knew there were so many of them" Troy said

"They are endless, uncountable."

That when Troy leaned over and kissed her.

Currently…

Gabi's POV

Oh my god. Troy Bolton just kissed me. I can't believe Troy Bolton just kissed me. Wow.

Troy's POV

Oh my god. I can't believe I just kissed her. She must totally hate me right now. It was probably too soon.

No POV

"I'm sorry Gabi."

"Sorry for what? Oh you mean this…" and she leans in to kiss him again. "There's no reason at all to be sorry for that. None at all."

That's when Gabriella's cell phone started to ring.

"GABRIELLA MONTEZ WHERE ARE YOU? IT IS 1 IN THE MORNING YOU BETTER BE HOME REAL SOON OR YOU ARE IN EVEN MORE TROUBLE!"

"Oh my god mommy I am so sorry I will be home a.s.a.p. I swear."

"Troy we have to go it's 1 in the morning."

"Oh no."

They got their stuff together and ran like crazy to the car. Troy sped Gabriella to her house. Once there they said goodbye and gave eachother a real quick kiss and hug.

"I'll call you tomorrow if I make it out alive"

"Okay bye Troy."

"Bye."

He waited until she was completely in the house and then sped home.

Gabi's POV

"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN! YOU HAD ME WORRIED SICK!" Gabriella's mother screamed at her.

"I am so sorry mom. I was out with Troy and we where at the park and I guess we lost track of time. I am so sorry for the gazillionth time. Really I am. I didn't mean to scare you."

"Its okay sweetie just after last time I got scared."

"I was safe this time mom. No harm done promise."

"Gabi I have some news."

"What?" Gabi braced herself for the worst.

"He called. He's out of jail. I think he's coming back.

Troy's POV

"TROY BOLTON YOU GET IN THIS KITCHEN RIGHT NOW" His dad screamed at him even though his mom was sleeping.

Troy cautiously walked into the kitchen scared of what he knows will come next.

"WHERE WERE YOU?"

"I was at the park with Gabriella." He whispered

"YOU WERE WITH WHO?"

"Gabriella." Troy said sadly for he knew what was defiantly in store now.

His dad grabbed him by the shoulders and pinned him against the wall. "I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU NEVER TO GO NEAR HER! SHE'S TROUBLE! SHE'S GOING TO RUIN YOUR BASKETBALL CAREER!"

Then his dad started kneeing him in the gut so many times Troy couldn't breathe. Then he let Troy go and watched him slide down the wall to the ground in a curled up ball he laid still. Then his dad continued to kick him everywhere. All up and down his arms and legs in his stomach. Everywhere. Then for his final lash for the night he kicked him to the living room and then threw him at the bookcase. Troy groaned in pain as what felt like all the heavy books fell on top of him. Then he regretted that groan.

"YOUR STILL CONSCIOUS I'll just have to change that now wont I?"

He then picked him up pinned him against the book case with by his throat with one hand and with the other punched the crap out of him and then kneed him in the cut some more. Then took his pocketknife out of his pocket and cut a slit down his arm.

"Now you are sure to lose consciousness soon."

As soon as he threw some more kicks at Troy just to make sure he was unconscious he bent down and whispered, "I bet you regret seeing her now." And went to bed.

Troy woke up a half hour later. It was 230. I was getting the crap bet out of him for an hour. He knew he had to get up. He had to make it to his room. He could never let his mom know about this. Never, would he ever let her know the man she loves is abusive. As long as he's not abusing her everything is fine. He slowly crawled up the stairs to his room. The last thought he had before he fall asleep was I can never let Gabi know about this I cant let her worry about me.
