Turning the knob, she felt a pair of hands throw her inside the room

Gabi winced in pain.

Lips crashed onto hers with force.

Gabriella fell onto a bed.

A hand was squeezing her throat, while another hand went for her jean zipper.


Gabriella struggled under the weight, trying to break free of the person's grip.

All of a sudden, the weight was off her.

Everything was blury for a few seconds, as she gasped for breath and sat up.

She saw a guy with brown hair pulling on another guy's shirt and screaming at him.

" ...Don't touch her! Don't kiss her! Don't ever go near her! Or I'll beat the crap out of you!" he shouted at the guy pinning the guy against the wall.

'Troy,' Gabriella finally realized.

The guy whimpered.

"Good," Troy said, then throwing him towards the door.

The guy understood and scattered off the floor, and ran out of the room for his dear life.

Everything was quiet after the door closed.

Gabriella blushed, and pulled down her shirt and zipped her zipper on her jeans back up.

Both of them were at a loss of words.

Troy got tired of standing and sat beside Gabi.

Gabriella mumbled, "Thanks..."

"Your welcome only if you let me explain," Troy said smartly.

Gabriella knew that she would eventually have to let Troy talk.

"Fine," Gabriella said with a sigh.

"I'm sorry that I thought you were cheating on me. I jumped to conclusions. I guess I was overprotective. But whether you forgive me or not, I'll always love you. Always," Troy said quietly walking to the door.

"I'm sorry too," Gabriella whispered crying as Troy reached for the handle.

"What for?" Troy asked walking towards Gabriella.

"For being such a baby," Gabriella answered as Troy hugged her.

'Just like high school,' Troy thought rubbing her back to calm her down.

"You wanna get a drink?" Troy asked when Gabriella started hic-cupping.

"You drink!" Gabriella blurted surprised.

Troy laughed, and said "I meant as in soda or something."

"Oh. They dont have soda here," Gabriella told him

"How do you know?" Troy asked her suspiciously.

"You know, Madeline's my room mate, and she's popular...so yeah," Gabriella explained.

"I see," Troy said.

"There's a cute restaurant down the block," Gabriella said standing up.

"'kay," Troy said getting up also.

Before opening the door, Troy stopped.

Gabriella looked at him.

"One question, who was the guy you hugged?" Troy asked.

Gabby grinned and said, "Lost cousin."

"Okay," Troy smiled and kissed Gabby on the lips.

As they entered the party room, everything went silent.

Whispers flew across the room.

As a boy was whispering something to the person next to him, Gabriella heard him say, "Bolton's got a temper, he almost hurt some person."
