"Is she ok?" Lucille asked concerned after Troy told her what happened at the bar.
"She's a bit distraught right now due to the fact she was almost raped, but I think after a bath and some just alone time with me she'll be fine."
"I hope so. I can't believe that happened to her."
"Me either. She told me that he didn't hurt her, but that he tried. He tried to kiss her and she bit his tongue. Then she screamed for me."
"Oh. The poor dear. Tell her if she needs anything to come get me or call me."
"I will. Thanks, Mom." He said and left. He walked back to Gabby's and locked the door behind him. "I'm back, Hunny."
"In the kitchen, Troy."
He walked into the kitchen. "Hey. My mom said if you need anything to go over and get her or to call her."
"Ok. I called Taylor and she's on her way here with Chad."
"Alright. Lets go get a bath quick and change into pajamas."
She nodded and followed him to the bathroom.
After their shared bath that was Gabby's request, Troy got out and dried off. Gabby stood up and Troy opened a towel for her. She got out draining the tub and Troy wrapped the towel around her. "Better, Sweetheart?"
She nodded. "Yeah. A little. Thanks."
He kissed her softly. "Anything for you, Hunny." The two quickly dressed in their pajamas and the doorbell rang. "Be down in a minute!"
The couple ran downstairs after quickly brushing their hair and Troy opened the door. "Hey, Hoops. Gabby." Chad greeted.
"Hey, Man." Troy replied.
"Hi." Gabby replied softly.
The two let their friends in and Taylor saw Gabriella's expression. "Oh, Hunny." She said and hugged her.
Gabriella started to cry again and hugged Taylor tight. The guys went upstairs to leave the girls to themselves. "I was so scared, Tay."
"Shhhhh. It's ok. You're ok. Troy's here. Chad's here. And I'm here. Kelsi's on her way with Martha. They were at the mall."
"Thanks, Tay. I love you."
"I love you too. You're like my sister."
The doorbell rings again and Taylor goes to get it. Gabriella sits on the couch. Taylor comes back in followed by Kelsi and Martha. "Hey." The two new arrivals greeted.
"Hey." Gabby replied wiping her tears.
The girls sat down next to her and hugged her. "You ok?" Martha asked.
"I am now that you all are here. Thanks for coming over, Girls."
"No problem, Gabriella." Kelsi said.
"Yeah. You're our sister like friend. We'll always be here for you." Martha added.
Gabby smiled for the first time since the incident. "Thanks, Girls. You girls are the only friends I've ever had."
"Always, Hunny." Taylor said.
Gabby smiled again. "Forever."
"Forever." The three replied together.
"It's good to see you smile again." Kelsi said.
"Yeah. We don't like it when our sister's not happy." Taylor added.
That made Gabriella giggle. "Thanks, Girls. I feel a lot better now."
