Feelings of the Heart
Chapter 9- No
"I might have to move again." She said quietly finally realizing what's happening.
Troy pulled into his driveway and turned the car off. "You know I'll always be here for you. No matter what. Even if you live all the way on the other side of the world." He said.
Gabriella was silent as she sat on Troy's couch resting her head on his chest while he had his arm wrapped tightly around her.
"You know, there's a chance that you won't move. You said that you might have to move." He said.
"I know." She said. "But I finally get somewhere in my life. I have friends, you, and enemies. Yes, I'm soooooooo happy that I have ENEMIES! I've never been in a place long enough to make friend or enemies." She added. It felt so nice to her to get these things off her chest.
She was snapped out of her trance by her cell ringing.
She groaned s she grabbed it off the coffee table.
"Hello?" she answered.
"Gabs, you need to come home, we're leaving." Terri said on the other line.
"What do you mean leaving?" she asked standing up and pacing.
"H-he found me." She managed to get out through her tears. "A-and I don't want him to come after you or me. So we need to leave and now. I already packed for you." She said.
"So wait, you mean…he figured out where we are?" she asked Terri.
"Yes." She answered.
"Okay, I'll be over in a bit." She answered reluctantly.
She hung up and sighed deeply and put her head in her hands.
"What's wrong?" Troy asked worriedly walking over to her. She looked up into his cobalt blue eyes and he wiped a tear from her face.
"I'm leaving. Now." She said.
"What do you mean….leaving?" he asked.
"I need to go home, I'm moving…now. I'll explain on the way. I just need a ride to my house." She said. He nodded and they got in his car. She explained everything to him. He took her hand as he came to a stop in front of her house.
"Remember what I said earlier. Whether you're across the street or across the world, I'm always here for you." He said. She nodded and they got out and helped Terri get the last suitcases into the car. Gabriella heard her name being called behind her a ways away.
"GABS!" he yelled. She turned around to see Chad and Taylor running as fast as they could to get to her. She turned back to Terri.
"Go, I called them. You need to go and say good bye Gabs." She said.
Gabriella nodded and ran towards them meeting them halfway and was scooped up into a hug by Chad. They had become insanely close it wasn't even funny. Next was Taylor. They cried a little on each other's shoulders as Gabriella pulled away.
"I can't do this." She said. "I can't and I won't." she stated. She turned around and began walking back to the car. A very confused Taylor and Chad behind her.
"Come on Gabs, time to go." Terri said. She truly only wanted to keep Gabriella safe.
"No." she said calmly.
"What?" she asked. "Gabriella we need to leave, he can hurt you!" she exclaimed.
"No. I don't know about you, but I'm tired of running." Said a now crying Gabriella.
"I'm sick and tired of the bastard getting what he wants! He wants us to run and flee and have miserable lives, which, by the way, was what I was having before I moved here." She added. Troy wrapped an arm around her waist letting her know that he was there for her.
"But, I don't want you to get hurt." Terri said.
"She won't get hurt while I'm here. Troy spoke up.
"Same here." Chad added as he and Taylor walked up beside Gabriella.
"If we did…stay…I don't want you here. Because he knows I live here, and it won't take him long before he figures out you live here too." She said.
"With me." Taylor spoke up. "I have an extra room, bathroom, everything that she'll need. I live right next door to Troy and only a few houses away from Chad. So she'll always be safe. And my dad is a police officer, if that helps." She said.
Gabriella looked pleadingly at Terri.
"If it's okay with your parents…I don't see why not." She said.
"Thank you so much Terri, you don't know how much this means to me." Gabriella whispered in her ear as she hugged her.
At Taylor's a few hours later…
Terri and Gabriella were sitting in the McKessie household's living room talking about the huge issue.
"Oh my goodness! Yes, you are very welcome here!" Mrs. McKessie said.
"Now, I can definitely see what I can do about him, but I need you to let me know if anything happens at your house. Whether you feel you're being watched or whatever. Just call okay? Anytime." Mr. McKessie offered.
"Thank you SO much Mr. McKessie, you have no idea how good it feels to actually stay in one place for this long." Gabriella said.
Taylor helped Gabriella put her clothes into her closet and shortly after they fell asleep. About a quarter of Gabriella's thoughts that night were of how worried she was. But the other three quarters was how safe she was. Mostly with Troy.
