Protecting Me
Chapter 3
Flashbacks/Present
AJ and Austin looked at each other and walked out of the room leaving Troy and Gabriella alone.
"You okay?" Troy asked. And Gabriella nodded with tears still running down her cheeks. "I'm fine".
"You sure?"
"Positive"
"What exactly happened last night?"
"I wanted to go out when… he came"
"Please go away, I want to go out"
"He called me AJ"
"Hey AJ"
"I had never heard his voice before" New tears were forming in her eyes and Troy took her hands trying to relax her.
"Then he said he wasn't sure Austin would be happy about me kissing another guy, he was talking about you"
"I'm not sure Austin will be happy when he finds out you are dancing and kissing another person than him"
"I still didn't have a clue about who he was"
"And sorry who are you?"
"Pete. You know we have Biology together"
"Then it got me he must have been talking about AJ"
"Sorry I think you're talking about my big sister, I've never seen you before and my name's Gabriella"
"Then he told me how much we look like each other, and when I wanted to go out of the bathroom he pulled me against the wall and locked the door" Gabriella's voice began to crack, and she began to shake, her skin turning pale.
"Please let go of me"
"I was about to scream, then he began kissing my neck"
"Why don't you like being kissed, I saw your boyfriend before doing exactly the same"
"He asked me why I didn't like him kissing me, 'cause he had seen you doing the exact same thing"
"Please stop it"
"I began to cry, and then he went for my lips, I turned my head to the side not wanting to kiss him, but he slapped me and pulled my head back in front of him. He placed both of his hands on my cheeks, and kissed me on my lips, I tried to refuse, but he was to strong" Gabriella cried louder. "I began to cry harder all I could think of was you, I just wanted to be in your arms"
Troy pulled her in to a hug, and she cried in to his shoulder. "I'm right here baby" "Then I bit his lip and he punched me so my nose began to bleed"
"TROY"
"I screamed for you, and he called me a whore and slapped me again. He started to open my cardigan, holding me for the mouth"
"Then I heard you walking to the bathroom asking for me, and I just wanted to scream your name out loud"
"Brie you still in there"
"Brie if you're in there please say something"
"You wanted me to say something, then you began to walk away, when I heard my phone rang. And you screaming for me"
"BRIE"
"Pete got surprised when the phone rang, and told me not to say anything, and then he slapped me again"
"Troy right?"
"Yeah"
"Well Gabriella doesn't like you anymore and she would like if you just left"
"I remember what happened next, he told me you didn't like me anymore and that you wish I would just leave" Troy said and Gabriella nodded.
"I didn't mean it Troy, I wanted to tell you how much I love you and that I never wanted you to leave"
"I know that Brie, I heard you sniff and then cry and new what he was telling was a lie" Gabriella let out a slight smile.
"Then I didn't here you say anything for god knows how long, and I thought I was going to die when I heard you walk away, and he took off my cardigan" Gabriella said sniffing badly.
"He removed his hand from my mouth telling me if I began to scream it would be worse for me. He started kissing me again, and I begged him to stop, he punched me in the face and I knew I was going to get a black eye"
"I was only wearing a bra when I screamed your name again, and that made him slap me one more time"
"Then Austin kicked down the door, and I think you know the rest"
"Yeah, Brie I'm so sorry it happened, but I'm glad it didn't got any further I mean he could have raped you"
"I know, and I'm glad too, that nothing else happened" Troy pulled her closer, trying to warm her cold body, that was shaking like crazy.
"Shh Brie, everything is going to be okay, I'm right here" she cried harder, while Troy stroke her hair trying to calm her down.
