Well I guess this chapter could be alittle surprising and alittle shocking for a dad do do this to his own daugther...some of you are probably wondering why their dad is only abusing Gabriella and not Julia...that is because that Julia has suffered her whole life living with their dad so just imagine that...who's the twin suffering more now... Well anyway try to enjoy this chapter...
Chapter 5 How could He?
It was about 1 o'clock in the morning. Everyone was asleep or so it seems. Gabriella was half asleep,half awake. She was sleeping when she heard a crack. She ignored it thinking it was nothing. A couple moments later she felt an icy,cold hand covering her mouth. Gabriella jolted up and saw her dad.
"Don't you dare say a word"he hissed in Gabriella's ear,trying to take off her clothes. He was touching her in places that shouldn't be touched at all. Gabriella tried to defend herself but all she could do was cry until it was over.
Meanwhile a couple minutes later in Julia's room. What is all that screaming about?Julia thought,half sleeping. Julia decided to go check it out. She stumbled off her bed and onto her feet. She walked next over to the next room where Gabriella's room is. She opened the door and walked inside. She became fully awake when she saw what was happening. She grabbed the lamp on Gabriella's desk and smacked on her dad's head. Their dad collaped on the floor leaving Gabriella shaking on the bed.
"Oh my gosh!Gabriella are you okay"?Julia said hugging her little sister. Gabriella did not answer,she just sat there crying.
"It's okay Gabi,he passed out..he won't hurt you anymore"Julia assured. But that did not calm Gabriella at all.
"Just try to go back to sleep"Julia said getting up. She dragged their dad back to his room before going to sleep. When she got back to her room it was 2 o'clock in the morning. As soon as Julia's head fell onto the pillow she fell right to sleep.
That morning Gabriella awoke,confused. She sat up and suddenly she remembered last night. She felt so sore that she felt like she been hit with cinder blocks. She got up and dragged herself to the bathroom. Their dad had already gone to work. After getting showered and getting dressed Gabriella went downstairs and started making breakfast. A short while later Julia came down.
"Morning"Gabriella greeted.
"Morning"Julia said back. They ate breakfast in silence until Gabriella asked"You are gonna keep this a secret,right"?
"Keep what a secret"?Julia asked.
"You know,what happened last night"Gabriella said. Julia's mouth slightly fell open and stared at her food for a moment.
"Gabriella..."Julia started as Gabriella interupted.
"And I know what you're gonna say but I'm not telling them"Gabriella said giving her sister a stern look.
"And why not?This is important"!Julia said.
"I know it is and I totally agree with you but I don't think it's not too important for the others to know"Gabriella said. Neither of them said anything for a moment.
"So are you gonna tell them"?Gabriella asked.
"I don't know Gabriella.."Julia started.
"Oh come on Julia...we're sisters"Gabriella said.
"So that doesn't make any difference"Julia said.
"It does to me I mean come on we've only known each other for a few days"Gabriella said. Julia sighed heavily and said"Fine I won't tell them".
At school. Julia was at her locker fumbling with some books. She couldn't promise her sister for not telling the others about what happened last night.
"Hey Julia"!Troy said behind her. Julia was so startled that her books that she was fumbling with flew out of her hands.
"Troy Bolten!Don't ever scare me like that again"!Julia exclaimed.
"Sorry"Troy said while helping Julia pick up her books. Wow!Julia and Gabriella are really alike Troy thought.
"So where's Gabi"?Troy asked.
"Um I think she's already at homeroom"Julia answered closing her locker.
"Cool and oh wait there's gonna be a pool party at Chad's house this Saturday..it's just a celebration for the basketball team"Troy said.
"Why!Because it's been undefeated ever since you've joined"Julia said sarcastically.
"Yeah.."Troy said smiling. Julia shook her head and walked with Troy to homeroom. Oh wait!A pool party!That means that Gabriella has to wear a bathing suit and she only has a two piece which means that shes gonna have to show her bruises...and what will her excuse be!Julia thought. As Troy and Julia entered homeroom they saw Gabriella sitting in her sit with her head down. Uh oh!There's no way Gabriella can get away with this...Troy already suspects something! Julia thought.
"Hey Gabi...why do you have your head down"?Troy said.
"Oh I'm just tired"Gabi said looking down at her feet. Troy shrugged and kissed Gabriella on the forhead.
"Or maybe she can"Julia said.
During lunch everyone was chatting and eating and paid no attention about Gabriella not being there.
"Where Gabi?This is the fourth time this week that she missed lunch and lunch is like her favorite period"Troy exclaimed while pacing around the lunch table.
"I don't know and can you stop pacing!It's giving me a headache"!Sharpay said.
"Sorry"Troy said sittting down.
"I'll go look for her"Julia said getting up. She walked out of the lunchroom and starting looking around. Where could Gabi be! Hold on...the pivate school garden..the one where Troy showed Gabi a couple of months ago..that's it!Julia thought. She quickly walked through the hallways.
Meanwhile Gabriella ran up the stairs of the school garden. It was empty just like she hoped. She took a seat on the bench, brought her knees up to her chest and started crying. Why is he doing this to me! I'm his own daughter!I hate him!Gabriella thought. She kept crying until she heard a crack on the stairs. Oh no!It's Troy!Gabriella thought. She looked up and saw not her boyfriend but her own twin sister.
"Oh hey"Gabriella said wiping away her tears.
"Are you okay"?Julia asked sitting down next to her. Gabriella nodded.
"Are you coming down to lunch?You know everyone's getting worried about you"Julia said.
"I don't think I'm hungry"Gabriella said.
"So are you coming to Chad's pool party"?Julia asked quickly changing the subject.
"I guess I have no choice...I mean if I don't go then Troy and everyone else will get more suspicious"Gabriella said.
"Well you know you have one other option"Julia said.
"What's that"?Gabriella asked.
"You can always tell them"Julia said.
"For the last time!I'm not ready to tell them!"Gabriella said.
"Fine!So what are you gonna tell them when they see the bruises"?Julia said.
Gabriella shrugged. "I guess I won't swim then". Julia said no knowing if she did the conversation would most likely turn into a fight. She nodded and suddenly the bell rang. They pick up their books and walked to class. Luckily they had next periodbiology together including Troy and Kelsi. As they entered the biology room Troy pulled Gabriella aside.
"Where were you during lunch?I missed you"Troy said pulling Gabriella close to his chest.
"Oh...umm...gettting ready for the next decathlon meet"Gabriella lied.
"But isn't the next meet in 2 months"?Troy asked.
"Yeah but we like to start early"Gabriella said. Troy smiled and kissed gently on the forehead.
"You know that you can tell me anything thats bothering you, right"?Troy said.
"Of course"Gabriella said kissing him the lips. The final bell rang. Everyone rushed to her seats.Gabriella surprisingly was not paying attention in class. The rest of the day dragged along with Gabriella. Finally the end of the day bell rang. Gabriella rushed to her locker and ran out the door without waiting for her sister. Finally she was free from school.
