CHAPTER 6
Ok, even though the wake was today, I think I did a good job. Thanks for the reviews everyone. The wake was creepy since I saw the body. :'( I was so scared kind of. Well anyway, here's the chapter…
As Chad, Troy, and Gabriella ran into the house, Chad's parents saw Gabriella covered in bruises, scars and she was soaked head to toe.
"Oh my. Are you ok hunny?" Gabriella shook her head and whimpered in Troy's chest, "Troy, Chad. What happened?" Chad put Gabriella's backpack down as his dad walked in and wrapped towels around the 3 of them and got rubbing alcohol for Gabriella's cuts.
"Her dad almost killed her in the pool" Chad answered as Chad's mom gently picked Gabriella up and put her on the counter to clean her up.
As Gabriella arrived home, Troy snucked out of his house and sat in the bushes outside of Gabriella's house. He saw Gabriella in her room, on the 2nd floor, and saw Greg move and go upstairs. He heard Greg screaming and hitting Gabriella like crazy.
As Greg picked Gabriella up, he threw her out of her window and let her fall to her doom. He walked back downstairs, sat on the couch and watched TV and drank his beer.
As Troy caught Gabriella, she looked into his blue eyes.
"Come on. Your coming over to my house. And if you say no, that won't work. I won't hurt you Gabriella, I won't let myself do that" Troy whispered to her as they walked hand-in-hand to his house
"O…ok" she whispered back.
As school came the next day, Troy yawned and opened his eyes to see Gabriella sleeping beside him in bed. Troy smiled and fell back to sleep as he hugged her.
As 8am arrived, Troy's mom Lucy opened the door to Troy's room. She saw Troy and he's not alone. She saw the girl covered in bruises and she has black hair and a black eye. Lucy walked quietly to Troy's bed, and sat down. She stroked the girl's hair and Troy's.
"Troy, hunny. Time to wake up for school" Troy turned and opened his eyes
"mmm" Troy growled as he sat up and rubbed his eyes, "morning"
"Morning. Who's this sweetie?" Lucy continued to stroke the girl's hair as she slept. They heard her whimper.
"That's Gabi. I knew, when Gabi left to go home last night, something was going to happen, so I snuck out and watched her. Her dad almost killed her last night twice"
"What?" Lucy asked in disbelief 'who would do that to their child' Lucy thought
"Ya. In the pool and he threw her out her window on the 2nd floor. I caught her in time"
"oh my gosh" Lucy felt Gabriella turn and she slowly rubbed her eyes but she winced and sat up, "it's ok sweetie. You have a black eye. May I ask you a question?" Gabriella looked at her and nodded nervously, "how long have both your parents been hurting you?"
"since I was 2" Gabriella whispered as Lucy's and Troy's eyes widened
"I'm going to keep both of you home for the next 3 days since it's Tuesday. You can have friends over but no leaving this house until Monday." Gabriella and Troy nodded
"Yes Madame" Troy looked beside him and felt Gabriella trembling
"You could call me Lucy and Troy's dad Jack. Ok?"
"Ok" Gabriella whispered as Lucy stroked her hair again
"Would you like to go shopping to get clothes and you, me and Troy could go to your house to get your things?"
"mmm… ok" Troy saw fear fill her brown eyes so he hugged her.
"mom, could we go now then go shopping?" Troy asked
"sure. Let me call the school and you two could get dressed" Lucy answered as she got up, "Oh, and Gabi, Troy's t-shirt looks cute on you" Gabriella and Troy blushed.
"Thank you Lucy" Gabriella got up and slipped her jeans on.
"Your welcome, Troy come eat breakfast so Gabi can get changed" Troy nodded, kissed Gabriella's cheek and left his room.
Once they arrived to Gabriella's house, Troy held both Gabriella's and Lucy's hands. Troy climbed up the tree, next to Gabriella's window and slipped through her smashed window. Troy gave the ok sign, to tell them it was clear and started to pack her things. They nodded and went in through the front door. Gabriella hid and peeked around the corner to see, Greg passed out drunk so they ran up the stairs. As they opened the door, they saw Troy packing her books in the suitcase, and he was already done packing her 2 dresses, 2 jeans, and 2 shirts in her school bag that they brought over. He grabbed her flip-flops and her uggs.
"that's everything" Troy whispered. They looked around her room and all that was left was her comforter and her pillow. They put them in the bag. Lucy wore the bag and Troy had the suitcase. As they ran down the stairs, they saw Greg standing at the bottom smiling.
"Hi daddy" Gabriella whispered.
"Hi. Get over here Gabriella Alex Montez" Lucy took her hand and pulled her behind her.
"leave her alone" Lucy snapped
"She's my daughter"
"I don't care" Greg slapped Lucy in the face and she punched him in the face. Greg stumbled back and fell. When he fell, he hit his head off the table, which caused him to black out. Lucy heard Gabriella whimper behind her, so she took off the bag and Troy slipped it on. Lucy got Gabriella to climb on her back and Troy and Lucy ran out, and to their house.
What did you think? What do you want to happen in the up coming chapters? For me I'm going to have Gabriella get taken by Greg and Emma sometime. I'm thinking of a sequel for when they are 15 or 16. Anyway, please review.
