Gabriella sighed standing on the sidewalk of her apartment, she blew out smoke sighing; she was really stressed out, with Robert, and with things at work, and especially that guy that went off of her for returning his child to him. She sighed walking back into her apartment and began cleaning around the house; she bit her lip, did they guy say what his name was? She was really curious on why he was having a bad behavior with her. she was going to have to find him, maybe one day he would be back in the toy store yelling at someone else for returning his kid to him.

She smiled at that, maybe if he was a person who yelled at everyone who returned his kid to him it'd mean that he's just an anal retentive. She sighed, "who am I kidding? It's just got to do something with me..." she ran a hand through her hair, wiping dust with a dish cloth. She was almost done with the coffee table when Robert came in from the back room, "Hey! What are you doing?"

She jumped at his loud voice, "I'm..just cleaning Rob-" he shoved at her, "I said meet me in the bedroom-not to clean up your crap!"

Gabriella bit her lip, tugging her arm away; but Robert only grabbed it again, "Robert come on...please not today please?" her eyes were glistening with unshed tears. He sneered, "Why? You sleeping around with someone else?"

She rapidly shook her head, "NO! Robert I would never-" he shook her, "Just get in the room bitch!" he shoved her, hitting the wall. He cornered her, and started kissing her neck sloppily, she wriggled underneath him, shoving him away, "Robert I said no!"

She pushed him away from her, he landed on the floor, looking up at her, "what the fuck Gabriella!" she grabbed her bag rushing out of the house, running as fast as she could going to her car and driving to the park.

(...)

At the park, Troy was pushing Christopher in a swing; he sighed, he did miss Gabriella very much. He loved her too but she betrayed him, and the girl from earlier; she talked like Gabriella, looked like Gabriella but it wasen't her. It couldn't be her, Gabriella wouldn't forget him like that.

Gabriella jumped out of her car as Robert pulled up beside her. she began breathing heavy he grabbed her by the waist. "LET GO OF ME!" she screamed. That caught Troy's attention, he turned to find Gabriella being pulled away by a guy about his age. She kicked him in the stomach and he released her, Gabriella opened his truck door grabbing a ball bat, "Take this!" she to the ball bat smashing his headlights, and his window.

Robert went over to her snatching the bat from her, "YOU LITTLE BITCH! YOUR CRAZY!" he yelled. he lifted her up throwing her on the ground, and kicking her. "You don't ever disrespect me and my stuff!"

Gabriella doubled over, letting out groans of pain, but refusing to shed any tears. "Rober-ow! Stop it!" Robert continued to kick her, "You. Little. Bitch! You are supposed to do what I say! You are just a skinny little nothing!"

"HEY!" Robert looked up, ceasing his kicking. He smirked, "Well...this is the bitches rescuer? A man and a baby?"

Troy narrowed his eyes, "Didn't your parents that it's impolite to hit a girl?" Robert sneered, "My dad taught me that women are inferior to men...we control them." Gabriella gulped, unable to move from the ground.

Troy growled, "She is a human being! You will treat her as such!"

"Says the man and the baby...I wonder why your woman left you-" Troy's jaw ticked, the guy hit a raw nerve, when Troy spoke; his voice was low and threatening, "Don't. Do not go there, understand me? Just go and leave her alone..."

Robert chuckled, looking at Gabriella, then back at him. "Fine...take the nun."

He walked back to his beat up truck, Troy's death glare that never left; Robert took off in his truck. Gabriella sat up coughing a little bit, she looked up at Troy. "Y-You.. saved me?" he sighed, "Yeah."

She sniffled sitting up, "I..thank you.." he nodded, "No problem." he muttered. She sighed, "Look, I have no idea what I did to have you act this way towards me, but I am-"

"I gotta go." he said putting Christopher in the stroller. "No..listen, I'm trying to be nice, I'm sorry what I did to you-" he chuckled, "which part are you sorry for? for leaving me?"

She raised a brow, what heck was this guy talking about? "D-did I know you before my accident?"

Troy stopped in his tracks, turning around, Christopher wasn't fussy but he did move in his sleep-like his mama. "What accident?" Gabriella bit her lip, "I...I just woke up in the hospital 5 months ago...I didn't know how I got there..."

Troy bit his inner cheek, digesting this new information. Gabriella played with her fingers, "I-I...I just want to know why your so angry at me? What did I do?"

Troy sighed, "Forget it...all right, I have to get my son home .." he turned on his heel, Gabrielal caught up with him, grabbing his elbow, making him look at her. "Please..just tell me! What did I do to you?"

Troy's eyes narrowed, "What'd you do? It wasn't to me that you did something to...it was to our son." she widened her eyes, taking a step back. "I..I...but I don't have a son-" he shook his head, "you're denying anything about being a mother? Ok, fine...just don't come to me. Ever."

Gabriella scoffed grabbing his elbow again, Troy groaned, "leave me alone!" she narrowed her eyes, "No! I want an answer! what did I do to you? all I did was return your son to you, and you go off on me for no reason!" he ran a hand down his face, "Will you please leave me alone-"

She shook her head, "No. just tell me and I'll let you go-" "YOU LEFT ME!" she stammered, "w-what?"

He took a deep breath, "You left me.." she looked at him, "What are you talking about? I didn't do anything-"

"Yes you did!-" she shook her head, tears rolling down her cheeks, "I woke up, in the hospital, 5 months ago.. they told me I had a car accident on my way back from a store, cause they found groceries in my trunk, when I woke up, I didn't know who I was except for my name.. there was no one there to take me home.. so I went off on my own, and got a job, and got an apartment.." she finally finished, breathing heavily.

Troy looked at her, "if this is some sort...trick or lie-"

"I-I...I wouldn't lie-who lies about being in the hospital?" he narrowed his eyes, Christopher was fussing, kicking his little legs and letting out small, high pitched cries. Troy exhaled a deep breath, leaning over and picking him. "Sh...it's okay, it's okay..I know I know, you miss mommy-but I don't know where she is..." he looked at Gabriella, there was a look in her eye that suggested all kinds of hurt.

That and her trembling lips gave her away too, "Come on...you can't blame me-" he silenced her with a look, "I can...I will, stay away from me and my son."

Gabriella bit her lip, "how do you know me?" he sat christopher in the stroller, and turn to her, "just..just leave Gabriella..if that's even your real name."

Gabriella glared at him, "Oh that's very mature." he rolled his eyes, she sighed, "All I want to know is why you treated me the way you did earlier, I want an answer." He looked away from her, he could tell this was his Brie. the Brie he loved, the Brie he kissed everyday, the Brie he use to make love to, his Brie that had his son for him. He bit his lip, "It really is you.." he muttered.

She looked at him with hurtful tears, "You know what.. forget it."
