A young girl with long brown curly hair and almond brown eyes stared out of the window at night, looking up at the street lights as the car she was in moved. She was wearing her red and blue Japanese dress. She turned to the side of her and saw her dad driving keeping his focus on the road. ''Daddy are we almost there'' Her dad turns to her

''Were almost were there baby ok'' The young girl nods her head and stares back out the window. She heard bickering and fighting. ''YOURE GONNA LISTEN TO ME NOW'' A man outside yelled

Her dad turned to a see a man hitting on a woman. He pulled the car over ''Honey stay here okay'' Her dad unbuckled his seat belt ''Daddy'' The girl held out her hand and her dad held unto to it

''Stay here'' He said still holding unto her hand ''Daddy'' Her small voice faded as her dad slowly let go of her hand and closed the car door. The small girl stared out the window as here father walked over the man that hitting his wife

''YOURE MY WIFE AND YOURE GONNA LISTEN TO ME'' The man yelled to the top of his lungs and the young girl father over to them ''Hey she's a lady stop hitting her'' The girl's father interfered

''You stay out of this boy'' The man pushed the man on the ground making him fall. Then the young girl father knocks the man down and tries to help the woman into his truck with his daughter

The husband that was hitting his wife stands back up and sticks his hand out in his pocket, pulling out a gun. He pulls the trigger.

POW POW

The man shot the young girl's father in the back. ''DADDYY'' The little girl screamed. Then the abusive husband shot his wife in the back but before he shoot the little girl he heard the police and fled

The little girl opened the door to the car and hopped out. ''Daddy'' She cried as she walked over to her father almost lifeless body.

''Daddy'' She gets her knees and heard unto her father's head which resulted her getting blood on her dress and hands. ''Gabriella'' Her father managed to choke out ''I lovee you'' He took his last words

Gabriella stared down at her father body in her small tiny arms. ''Daddy wake up'' She shook his body and he wouldn't wake up.

She sat there with her father's body lying in her arms and heard sirens coming.

Gabriella wakes up with her clothes damped in sweat head to toe. She had a nightmare about her father's death. She was only seven when her father was killed in attempt to save a woman that was being brutally beaten and tortured by her husband.

Sometimes Gabriella wished the man shot her instead of her father. She still remembered the feeling of the hot liquid covering her small petite body.

At school Gabriella walked in the school staring at the ground with her hood on. She was wearing a gray jumpsuit and white sneakers. She walked to her locker when she heard somebody call her name

''Gabriella'' Troy called her running up to her. She closed her locker and walked away avoiding him. ''Avoiding me again eh'' Troy laughed but Gabriella turned around he saw that she was crying and worst of all that look

That look she had when she was seven after her father funeral. She had the look when she was depressed and she wanted to was eat, which resulted in her obesity.

''Brie, what's wrong'' She turned back around ignoring him and walked around the corner. She walked up the stairway to the rooftop with Troy following. He assumed she wanted him to follow him

She walked over to the bench and sat down staring at the ground. Troy sat down next her. ''Gabriella is it your dad'' She nodded and Troy pulled into her his arms. He heard her sobbed as she laid her head on his shoulder ''Its gonna be okay'' He consoled her

He hugged on her tight. ''Did you have another nightmare'' He felt her nod, rubbing her head on his shoulder. A few minutes later she pulled from his arms and wiped her face.

''Do you want to go home'' He asked her and she shook her head No. ''No you just wanna lay down'' She nodded and he placed her head on his lap. ''One day you will be reunited with your dad''

''You know you have a lot of people there for you, you have your mom, your aunt_'' Gabriella sat up and raised her eyebrow at him. ''My aunt'' She giggled ''There goes that beautiful giggle''

''But hey there's nothing wrong with your Aunt Gertrude'' Gabriella giggled ''My aunt lives alone with 35 cats and all of their names start with letter J''

They both laughed and then Troy stopped looked at her ''You even have me'' They both leaned in and their foreheads touch. Then their lips touch. One again the electricity sparks ran through their bodies. The kiss wouldn't deepen because Gabriella didn't let it.

She pulled away ''Troy we shouldn't'' Her looked at her confused ''Last night you said you loved me'' Gabriella stood up ''I know I did. I do but we cant be together''

''I gotta go'' She ran down the stairs that leads up to the rooftop and walked down the halls of East High. She walked into class ''Ms. Montez you're late'' Ms. Darbus told ''I know I'm sorry Ms. Darbus''

Ms. Darbus sighed and nodded ''Next time is a detention'' Gabriella nodded and sat down in her seat. A few minutes later Troy walked into class. She stared down at the ground trying not to make any kind of eye contact

After school Gabriella walked out the doors of her school and walked to her car. She fiddled in her bag to get her keys out and looked up to see Troy leaning against her car. She rolled her eyes and walked over to her car

''Gabriella can we talk about this'' Troy said still leaning on her car ''No'' She said softly and tried to get in her car but Troy blocked her front door. ''Can you please move''

''No'' Troy said then crossed his arms ''Troy move'' He shook his head ''Why cant we be together Gabriella'' She shrugged her shoulders and tried to get her car

''Why'' Gabriella stopped and looked at him ''Because I still haven't got over the torture I went through over the last 10 years'' She tried to get in her car ''Gabriella I told you I changed''

''No Troy people don't change'' She tried to push him out of the way but he was to strong ''I did, so what is the real reason'' Troy stood there waiting for a response

Tears started to prick in her eyes. ''Because'' She stared at the ground ''Because what'' Troy lifted her chin to make her look up ''Because I'm afraid okay happy''

''Afraid of what'' She looked up at him ''That will you will hurt me'' Gabriella stared back at the ground ''Gabriella I would never ever hurt you'' Then Gabriella looked up at him ''Well that was the past I was being a asshole''

''Troy can you just move'' He sighed then got out of her way and let go home. Gabriella sat on her bed eating two boxes of Chocolate and Vanilla Ice cream and watching Save the last dance. She hears a clicking sound and gets off her bed then walk over to the balcony. She rolls her eyes when she sees who the person is standing on her balcony.

''Go away Troy, I'm sulking right now'' She opens the doors and steps outside closing them behind her. ''What do you want'' Gabriella said annoyed ''Gabriella can we talk'' She shook her head ''I told that we can only be friends nothing more''

''Ok Gabriella I'll accept that, we can only friends nothing more'' Gabriella raised her eyebrows ''Ok nothing more, Goodnight Troy'' Troy smiled warmly at her ''Goodnight Gabriella'' She walked back into her room and sank to the floor ''I want him so bad ugghh why did I have to that'' She thought. Troy climbed down the balcony unto the tree and hopped down then started walking ''She'll be mine one day''
