Chapter Fourteen

Troy leaped across the table tackling Jason out of his chair and onto the ground. Taylor screamed out Troy's name as he wrapped his hands around Jason's neck and starting choking the man. "You think it's funny to hit a woman and her child." He shouted, his voice getting deeper with his mounting rage. "Well let me show you how much fun it is to hit a punk ass bitch." He shouted as he raised his fist in the arm and hit Jason with all his might. Chad and Zeke were standing to the side silently watching trying to debate whether or not to intervene. Both believed that Jason deserved to have his ass beat. "How dare you hit them then smile about." Troy yelled as he backhanded Jason and stood dragging the man to his feet, pushing him back. Jason stumbled into another table breaking it and sending glass everywhere.

"Get him Unca Troy." C.J. exclaimed as he watched the fight, Gabriella shook her head at her son and told him to be quiet before looking at her husband. "Chad…Zeke stop him before he kills the man." Chad looked over at his wife in surprise and shook his head.

"Are you crazy? Troy will kick our ass." He said as Zeke nodded his head. Both Sharpay and Gabriella sent them looks, sighing they nodded their heads before heading over. Zeke grabbed Troy and pulled him back from pummeling Jason, Troy struggling against his friend while Chad knelt down beside Jason who was unconscious.

"He still alive?" Zeke asked trying to keep Troy in his arms; Troy shook his head and looked at Chad who was still checking over Jason.

"He better consider himself lucky." Lucas and Taylor were standing in silence by the table while Troy tried to get out of Zeke's grip. She sent her son a look and then looked over at Sharpay and Gabriella.

"Guys can you please take Lucas out of here I don't think the kids need to be here." She said softly. Nodding her head, Gabriella started to move with C.J, Sharpay reluctantly followed with Olivia. Lucas moved to follow, but Taylor stopped him for a moment. "Now you see why I didn't want Troy to find out."

"I know mom but I thought he needed to know, besides he knew you were lying to him." He murmured as he looked at her and followed everyone else. She sighed and walked over to Troy who was still struggling in Zeke's arms.

"Calm down man, you aren't helping anything." Zeke commanded as Troy continued to fume and curse. Jason was slowly coming around groaning and moaning in pain. Taylor placed herself in front of Troy and reached out touching the bottom of his chin and rubbing it soothingly. She knew that when he was angry that was one of calming spots. After a few minutes of she could see him visibly calm down. Finally he stopping moving and Zeke cautiously let him go, Troy looked down at Taylor and looked her over briefly before reaching out and touching her cheek.

"Damn, baby I'm sorry I couldn't protect you." He whispered as he kissed her temple and held her tighter. Chad looked over at the couple and then down at Jason who was groaning as he opened his eyes.

"Yo, the bastard is waking up."

"Who you calling a bastard." Jason snapped as he pushed himself up, Troy stiffen in Taylor's arms as he moved up from the ground. Jason looked around and then narrowed his eyes on Taylor and Troy. "I see you gonna let some white boy beat me."

"Shut the hell up man, she saved your sorry ass…we would have let Troy beat your ass if it wasn't for her." Zeke snapped as he reached down and yanked Jason up to his feet. "Now get the hell out of my restaurant."

"Don't think that this is over." Jason stated as he walked away and headed downstairs pushing his way out of the restaurant. Troy followed him with his eyes till the man was out of his sight. Once he was gone he looked around and surveyed the damage and then glanced over at Zeke.

"Zeke, man I'm sorry I'll pay for all damages." Troy said sincerely, Zeke nodded as he bent down and picked up some pieces of glass. Chad however was looking at Troy and shaking his head a smirk sneaking up on his face. "What?"

"Damn, man you kicked his ass." The bushy-haired man exclaimed with a shake of his head as he looked at Troy with a smile on his face. "And he deserved it all of it. I don't feel sorry for him at all."

"Neither do I, he should have never laid his hands on Taylor or Lucas." He said looking over at Chad who nodded his head in agreement. Taylor knew he was angry with her, after all she had kept something like this away from him, but didn't he understand that the only reason she did it was so he wouldn't beat the living shit out of Jason like he had. She grabbed Troy's hand which made him look down at her.

"Troy, I think we need to talk."

"You right about that, Taylor…why didn't you tell me he hit you and Lucas. Are you insane that man laid his hands on the both of you and you say nothing."

"I was going to tell you later…just not when Jason was around, because I know you and you would try to kill him."

"If only I could." Troy replied coldly as he looked over at Zeke and Chad. "Look guys this is a rather private conversation that we need to have so we're going to go back to Taylor's place."

"Alright man and don't worry Sharpay and I will watch out for Luc." Zeke said as Taylor and Troy left. Taylor took one look at Troy and knew he was on edge, his jaw was clenched and he was barely looking at her. Once they got in his car, he practically floored it to back to her house. Taylor felt like a child who was about to get reprimanded, once they pulled into her driveway he turned off his car and looked at her.

"Let's go inside so we can talk." He got out and went around opening her door, and together they entered her house. Once the door close Troy began speaking. "What the hell were you thinking, letting him hit you and Lucas and not saying anything."

"Do you not realize what you just did…you almost killed him. He was unconscious and you were still beating him. I didn't tell you because I knew that was how you were going to react. I know I've been gone for a decade," she started using his words against him. "But I still remember that temper you have when someone hurts someone you care about."

"Love." He stated simply

"What?"

"I have a temper when someone hurts someone I love…and I love you and I love Lucas, and that man hit you both. He hurt you both."

"Troy I know believe me I was going to tell you and-."

"Has he ever done that to you before?"

"I-."

"Tell me the truth." He replied softly as he looked at Taylor who had suddenly quieted down as she looked at her hands before nodding her head, Troy's heart seized in his chest as she admitted it. "He hit you and Lucas before."

"No not Lucas…this was the first time he's ever laid a hand on him."

"It doesn't make it better." He shouted as he got anger thinking about Jason hitting Taylor. She jumped at his tone, and looked at him for a moment before saying.

"I know that, Troy…god don't you think I know that."

"I don't know, Taylor…why did you stay with him."

"Cause he claimed that he would take Lucas away from me…he told me if I ever told anyone about him beating me he take Lucas away and I will not let that happen." She cried finally breaking down, Troy rushed over to her and pulled her into his arms holding her tightly as she rested her head on his shoulder.

"He's not going to take Lucas away from you, Taylor I promise."

"You can't promise me that, Troy."

"I can promise you anything I want. I've never failed before…he's never going to get Lucas I promise you. Besides everyone one heard Lucas say that he hit you and him. You think we're not going to testify against him." Taylor just nodded her head and held Troy tighter, as he gently kissed her temple.

"Okay you're right but I am going to get Lucas for telling when he did." Troy chuckled for a moment as he thought about Taylor's son and shook his head.

"I'm glad he did tell when he did."

"Why? You could go to jail for assault, Troy." She exclaimed as she smacked his forearm and looked at him for a moment shaking her head as if he had lost his mind. "I wouldn't want you to go to jail over me."

"Well then I guess we're lucky I make my own decisions." He replied quietly as he looked at her for a moment. "Cause I'd gladly go to jail for you."

"You shouldn't say things like that."

"I love you, Taylor I would gladly give my life for you…and if I have to go to jail for beating Jason's sorry ass. Then I will, don't ever think differently." He said as he stepped back, and looked at her.

"I won't…but Troy you have to admit what you did was crazy."

"It was but it was fun though." He whispered as he grinned at her. She nodded her head and run her hands up and down his shirt as she looked up at him. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer. "Come on admit it, you like seeing me beat Jason up." He accused playfully his blue eyes sparkling.

"Well I-."

"Oh come on you know you did."

"I did fine are you happy now…I did like it you beat his ass baby." She looked up at him for a moment whispering. "And it was hell of sexy."

"Baby, I'm sexy all the time."

"I know that." She whispered shaking her head at him for a moment before looking at him again. He swept his hands up and down her sides before bending down and kissing her.

"And you're sexy too…all the time." He added with a smile, "And I love you, Taylor."

"I love you too." She whispered as he started to walk her back towards the stairs, she followed with a smile on her face. "What are you doing?" he glanced behind him and looked at the stairs before looking back down at her.

"I was going to try out these stairs…you know I haven't been up these stairs yet and I wanna make sure they work." He stated smartly.

"You are so crazy?"

"Crazy about you and that's a good thing." He replied as he bent down and hoisted her up and into his arms before quickly going up the stairs. "Now which one is your room?" Taylor simply pointed at the door at the end of the hallway. Troy kicked the door opened and moved towards the bed, and gently sat Taylor down. Walking back towards the door he closed and locked it before looking at her. Taking a deep calming breath he looked at her as she sat on the bed. "Taylor, you look so beautiful." He said as he took of his shirt and tossed it to the floor.

"You don't look to bad yourself." She whispered as he crawled onto the bed with her, minutes later they were both unclothed and under the covers, with Troy's body covering Taylor's he bent his head and kissed her softly as they started to move in unison. Taylor wrapped her arms around his neck and lifted her head to place a kiss on the corner of his mouth. Troy turned his head and captured her lips with his own just as their passion reached its peak.

"I love you." He moaned.

"I love you too."
