A/N: good chapter!!... I hope!

So it's Friday night, and Troy meets me at the end of our extremely long driveway. I tell my dad I'm just "going out" for a bit and he accepts it. I had never seen Troy's truck before, but it sure was HUGE. I'm surprised my family didn't hear it pull up; it was a big green ford dually. I hop in and ask

"Where are we headed??"

"Down for a movie?"

"Sure!"

He's a gentleman, pays for my movie and drink then lets me pick the seats. We sit near to the back because I hate the idea of little kids throwing popcorn in your hair… the movie he picked, and let's just say I wouldn't have picked this!! We went to see clover field! It was really scary, at one point I accidentally jumped and grabbed his hand, but when i went to pull away he tightened his grip and we help hands the rest of the movie. After that he took me out to the ice cream shop he had seen me at yesterday, and then he asked

"So why couldn't I come say hi yesterday? Not embarrassed of me are ya Gabriella:-P"

"Of coarse not... (I say searching for an excuse without going into to much detail, FOUND IT) I'm not allowed to date... So I didn't want my little sisters to go tell my dad,

"Ha-ha well I guess it's a good thing I didn't pop over then"

"Ya i guess"

The night went on and at the end, he opened my door for me, and then walked me just a bit up the driveway, it was 10:30 and he didn't want me walking to far by myself so late. He kissed me, and it was great, it wasn't one of those pop your foot, sparks flying, wedding bells kind of kisses. It was soft, and shy and cute. He really was turning out to be a nice guy.

I walked the rest of my driveway, came inside and it appeared everyone was asleep. So I went off to my room and went to bed.

But I guess I was wrong, I hear the door creek open, and a whisper,

"You asleep"

I say nothing, hoping he's too drunk to stumble in any further, but I'm wrong…

He climbs onto my bed and collapses on top of me,

"You'll have to be on top tonight, I'm tired"

I stay still, not knowing what to do... He had never ever asked me to do anything like this before.

"Get moving girl"

"No daddy please..."

"I said move, don't make me do this myself or your really in for it"

"Please..."

a hard blow to the face got me to move…

"Take off my pants. No funny shit, start moving!"

I slowly reach for his pants, this was awful... I had to get out, but there was no way. So I took off his pants... and got over him, slowly lowering myself down so he was completely inside me, he starts thrashing around

"MOVE, Jesus you would think after all these little lessons I gone and gave ya' you'd have it down by now"

So I move, up... And down, slowly increasing my speed... I hated him for this, right then I promised myself one day i would get back at him for this. But he continued on, barking out his orders. He had never been this vocal or commanding before... It scared me more than ever.
Finally it was over, and i was waiting for him to get up and leave, but he wasn't done...
He lay there beside me and entered in the back, then asked me to get on all 4's.
I didn't understand why he was like this tonight, usually he's in and out in less than 15 minutes... Finally it's all done, and he sat there playing with various parts of my body, then with his usual last stroke between my legs he leaves.

After I know he's sleeping I jump out of bed and get my sheets in and blankets in the washer, i jump in the shower, and while I'm in there the door swings open!

They walk into the bathroom, and its Sharpay, Taylor, and Kelsie...

"Gabi daddy's crying again. Why does he cry at night?" asked Sharpay

"Does daddy cry because he's sad he hits us?" asked Kelsie

"Why daddy hit me?" asked Taylor

"I don't know why daddy cries… but I do know he knows what he does is wrong… but I've told you guys since I can remember, I'm going to save up enough money, and we're all going to get out of here, what do you think about that?" said Gabriella

They all pilled into my bed, and as I told them all about what our ranch would be like, one by one they fell asleep. I went out to check on baby Martha I peeked my head in the door of my mothers room, she was asleep so I went in. Martha was awake; she never cried or screamed… ever. So I took her bassinette and moved it into the kitchen where I could get her formula ready, then I fed her and played with her for a bit. Me and the kids were the only ones who really payed any attention to her. It was hard sometimes to look her in the eyes, and know she thought I was her mom or more so I was her mother figure. Even at 4 months old you could just tell she knew. But I guess that would be a little normal since I fed her and played with her and really did everything for her and the little kids.

It was hard, really hard, and sometimes I thought I couldn't carry on, but when i look at all my brothers and sisters, I realize I have to. I have no choice. Without me they would all starve and nothing would get done around here except the outdoor barn work which is done by dad. I took her back to my room and put her cradle by my bed and crawled in with the girls.

I woke up in the morning; it was a beautiful mid April day, April 12 to be exact. My birthday was in 6 days, I would be 18 and finally able to work full time in the summer. I tried so hard to save all the money I could, and I was doing a pretty fucking good job. Like I said my father gave me money a lot, I'm not positive why, I don't know 100 but I do know he gave me money, and often.

I had saved a lot of money, all my Christmas money and birthday money, most of the money my dad gave me. I told him I spent it on clothes but really I just shopped at the sale rack or at this store the next town over, which had amazing brand names for dirt cheap. He never knew the difference. I had almost $5,000 saved.

Anyways after I woke up I grabbed the baby and headed for the kitchen, everyone was up and hungry. I started breakfast and fed Martha while it was on the stove, the girls loved to help out so they watched it while I had the baby. We would have good weeks you know? I mean when things were bad... They were usually pretty bad, beatings every single day, arguments and fights that my dad picks over nothing. It was completely random and unpredictable.

But when things were good, man they were amazing. I remember this one time about a year ago, my dad came in from the barn and was ranting about the heat, and all the sudden he said he wanted ice cream? So he took all of us down for ice cream and a movie, it's the little things like that... That really show we can be a family, and things can be good… but it all depends on him.
