Longing To Break Free

Chapter 15

Three Months Later

"Troy, did you get any sleep at all last night?" Gabriella asked him worriedly as he had looking very worn out all day. Right now he was sitting on the porch swing, gazing up at the night sky. She quickly wandered over to join him and sat down by him.

"Not really," Troy softly whispered, as he turned to look at her, "I guess I am a little tired."

Gabriella frowned; she looked seriously at him, "Was it the nightmares again?" Very shortly after the kidnapping he had started having nightmares. They went away for awhile but now seemed to be returning. It made her really worried about him.

"Were they about him?" She asked another question softly. Troy never really said what the nightmares were about, as he couldn't really remember what they were about after he woke up.

Troy remained quiet and didn't respond. She sighed as she gently leaned against him and buried her face against him for awhile.

"When's the next time you see your therapist?" she asked, breaking the silence that had been going on for awhile. He had started seeing a therapist almost right away. He still saw his therapist occasionally but Gabriella couldn't remember the last time he did.

"Not for a couple more days," Troy answered, "Could we please just try and forget about this for awhile? I'm sorry but I've been thinking about this so much recently and I'm just trying to forget about everything for right now," he gazed over at Gabriella, "Besides, you know what helps me feel better the most?"

"What's that?" Gabriella asked with a small smile.

"Being with you," Troy answered as he gazed at her with a smile on his face, "Being with you makes everything better."

"Well it's a good thing I've been around so much lately," she leaned over to give him a soft, gentle kiss.

She really had been around him a lot more lately. Troy pretty much hated being alone since his kidnapper was still out there on the loose. Troy and Gabriella spent nearly all their time together and were only apart unless they absolutely had to be. They had both gotten really protective of each other.

"Oh Troy look!" She cried, breaking from the kiss suddenly, "A shooting star! We have to make a wish!"

They both looked up at the sky and they then closed there eyes as they made a wish.

Gabriella opened her eyes and looked up at Troy who was looking back at her, "Let's just hope our wishes come true."

"Yes, I hope they do come true," Troy looked deep into her eyes as he spoke to her.

He suddenly glanced back at the house, "Come on, let's go back inside. It's cold out here. Let's go in and warm up."

She nodded as she followed him back in the house.


"Oh, I hear my cell phone ringing in the other room," Troy realized as he stood in the living room with Gabriella.

She smiled at him, "Well you better go get that."

Troy nodded, "I will go do that. How about you pick out a movie for us while I go and get my phone? We'll just relax and watch a movie for the rest of the night. Sound good?"

"That sounds heavenly," Gabriella smiled.

He smiled at her, and immediately left to go get his phone. A few seconds later he found his phone on the kitchen counter, it was still ringing. He reached over to pick it up and answered it.

"Hey, man!" he could hear Chad's voice suddenly.

"Chad? Hey!" he leaned against the counter as he spoke, "What's up?"

"Taylor and I were just wondering if we could come over in a couple of hours or so, we were just looking for something to do and thought we'd check to see if you wanted to hang out," Chad explained.

Troy frowned, but he nodded. He was looking forward to just being with Gabriella but he didn't mind having his friends come over later, "That would be fine. Gabriella is over right now and we'll both be here later."

"That sounds great! See you then!" Chad exclaimed.

"Bye Chad! See you later!" He quickly hung up.

He started to head back towards the living room, anxious to get back to Gabriella.

Suddenly however he felt someone grab him from behind and he could feel an extremely rough hand cover his mouth. He suddenly felt like he couldn't breathe as he started to realize who it was that had grabbed him. Panic started to rush through him like crazy. His whole body shook with fear. He tried to scream out loud but couldn't.

Oh God, please no! Not again. Not again. Please no! This nightmare wasn't becoming a reality. This couldn't be happening to him again. Oh please not again! Oh God, no!

"I must say," he heard a chillingly familiar voice say behind him, the voice that had been dreading to hear for three months, hearing it behind him sent chills down his spine, "It has been far to long since we were last together, Troy."


"Troy, seriously, where did you go?" She was looking around for him frantically, as she was starting to get really worried because she couldn't find him. It had been awhile since he had left to find his cell phone and he hadn't returned. The quiet atmosphere was also starting to bother her.

Before she knew it she suddenly felt a hand covering her mouth, catching her completely by surprise. She flinched as she felt a gun being pressed against her.

"TROY!" She tried to desperately scream out Troy's name but to her disappointment it came out muffled.

Troy's kidnapper, Trevor Mitchell laughed evilly behind her, and she felt a wave of terror rush through her, "Oh don't worry, I already have him again. I have him right where I want him."

Her eyes grew wide with fear as she realized what he just said. Oh God. Oh God. He had Troy again. NO! Suddenly she felt so afraid for Troy. What the hell had Trevor done to him? She had to know what he had done to him. It was killing her that she didn't know. Oh God, what had he done to her Troy?

"Yes that's right, I have him again," Trevor laughed again, "But this time, my beautiful, you will be joining us. Oh, the three of us will have so much fun!"

No, no, no, no! She wanted to scream as loud as she could but couldn't. This couldn't be happening. Oh God, It just couldn't be happening.

"NO!" She managed to scream out.

She then closed her eyes shut, terrified as he dragged her away from the house and into the night.

The End


Yes, there is a sequel to follow this! I wouldn't leave you there. I am not sure when it will come out, still need to think of a title. But it will hopefully be out soon!
