That was fast wasn't it? I had to get this one up quickly because I'm not gonna be on tomorrow so I'll put this one up now! Remember guys the more reviews the quicker they are up. As if they aren't up quick enough already...lol! Here's Chapter 6...

Chapter 6

Troy ran after Gabriella. "WAIT! Please can we talk!" he said.

"NO! Because I think we've already talked enough!" she said leaving.

"Gabriella, I don't know who to believe. And I'm sorry. Can you please tell me what's wrong?"

"NO! It's none of your buisness. Just like you won't tell me how you got those bruises!" she said.

"I'll make you a deal. How's if I tell you how I got these nasty things, you tell me what's wrong?" he asked.

"Sure...you first."

"Can we sit down though?" he asked tiredly

"(giggles) Yeah..."

"There's that smile."

"Don't change the subject. Now tell me."

"Ok, I got these from my dad. I practice so much, and if I don't he hits, slaps, or kicks me. He's afraid we'll lose. And he was a champion basketball captain and he wants the same for me." he said.

"Oh, I am so sorry. I didn't-"

"It's ok. Ya know that you were the first I ever told that to..." he admited.

"No..."

"Now it's your turn."

"Ok, if you didn't know, which you probably didn't that about a half a year ago my dad died. (she started to get teary) He got shot by a robber, since he was a banker." she said now crying.

"Gabriella I-"

"No, it's fine. You were the first I told that to. But that's not all why I was crying. My mom, she blamed me for what happened. I don't know why and..." she showed him her bruises. "She slaps and kicks me ever since the 'incident' and also if I don't study then, well, yeah..." she said sadly.

"Gabriella..." he hugged her tightly.

"No, Troy! I can't...just I gotta go!" she left sadly and went home.

I know that's short, but I did it as fast as I could. I wanted a good cliff hanger so I stopped there. I hope you like it!
