Disclaimer : I own nothing except the plot.
Troy's pov:
Time stood still for me as our mouths were joined in a passionate kiss. I didn't know what came over me to just kiss her ,but.. I hadn't felt this kind of passion before.
One of my hands went up to her cheek and another one went down to her waist. Both her hands were in my hair by now. This passionate kiss went on for what seemed forever to me before air was needed and we both pulled away.
I leaned my forehead against hers and cupped her cheeks in my hands. We both looked into each other's eyes and then.. she realized what had happened.
But before anything could happen there was a knock on the door.
We both pulled away fast. "Come in!" I shouted to what I expected Peter to be on the other side of the door.
Peter opened the door and wheeled himself in. "Hey man, I'm going over to my sister's for a moment. I'll be back in an hour or so," he explained. His sister lives a few blocks away and he can reach it without any help.
"OK, bye," I said as Peter started to wheel himself out of the room again.
As I looked back down to Gabriella I saw her looking down at her hands as she fiddled with them. I sighed.
Gabriella's pov:
"This shouldn't of happened Troy," I said. No matter how much I liked it, I added inside my head. "You're 25 and I'm 17. You could be send into jail for this," I told him looking up into his eyes again. Those heavenly blue eyes that anyone would just drown in. Including me..
"Gabriella.." he started as he looked back into my eyes, "Please don't think of me that way."
I shook my head. "I don't think of you that way Troy, I just think that this shouldn't of happened," I explained to him with a soft voice. I didn't intend to hurt his feelings either. Maybe it's just best if I didn't stay here. And that is exactly what I told him: "Maybe.. maybe I shouldn't be staying here after all. I'll just find something else."
"No Gabriella, it was just something of the moment and it won't happen again," he told me. That hurt, even though I know we shouldn't of kissed.
I nodded. "I trust you Troy," I told him honestly.
"I know," he said, "and I shouldn't be taking advantage of that."
"No, it's like you said Troy. It was something of the moment. You're a doctor and you don't have much free time and I'm a teenage girl who hasn't seen the outside world for too long. We're both going crazy in this locked up world." I explained to him. Hurting in the meantime both his and my feelings.
"Well, Peter is out. What do you want to do?" he asked suddenly changing the topic.
"Could you umm.. give me something against the pain?" I shyly asked him. My cuts were burning from sitting up too brusquely.
"Yea, sure," he said before standing up and getting something for the pain.
After a few minutes he came back into the room holding a pain reliever and a glass of water. He sat the glass of water down on the night table next to me and gave me the pain reliever. "Here you go," he said.
"Thank you," I said before drowning the pain reliever.
He took the glass back and stood up again. "We could go to the park if you want. It's a nice day and it would do you good to have a bit of fresh air," he requested.
"That sounds really good," I answered. A nice trip to the park did sound good.
We both got ready, well Troy helped me get ready and made the 5 minute walk to the park. Once there he wheeled me over to an open spot with a few benches.
I breathed in the fresh air and smiled. I had missed this in the hospital. Sure the nurses took me on walks, but that wasn't the same. The park next to the hospital wasn't this big and there weren't any kids playing or a couple cuddling on the grass.
"I love this," I said as I looked at Troy smiling. Forgetting all that had happened just 30 minutes ago. "Thank you for taking me here."
"You're welcome. It's still my job as a doctor to take care of you," he said smiling as he put me next to a bench and sat down on the bench himself.
Troy's pov:
We just sat on that bench for a while, in a comfortable silence.
"I'm scared," she suddenly started.
"Why are you scared?" I asked her confused, looking back at her.
"I'm scared that they'll come back for me, for more revenge," she explained to me as she now looked back at me and I saw the tears forming in her eyes.
"Gabriella, who were they?" I asked her seriously.
"They-they.. my brothers friends.." she explained to me looking back down at her hands.
"Can I know their names?" I asked her. "You don't have to start a case on them, but I recommend you do, Gabriella."
After a long silence she answered: "Chad Danforth and Zeke Baylor."
I took her hand in mine as I now started to see tears streaming down her face. "What do you want to do?" I asked her.
"I.. I do want to start a case on them.. But I'm scared that they're going to come after me," she explained to me. Putting out on the table how she has been feeling about this whole situation.
"That's great Gabriella!" I said. "Right now this may seem the wrong thing to do, but in the end it will be worth it. I promise you."
She looked back up at me. "Are you sure?" she asked me.
"Yes I'm sure," I answered smiling.
