Chapter 22

Gabriella ran home. "GABRIELLA MONTEZ!!" her mom yelled as soon as she got home. "YEAH?!" she replied.

"WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU?! YOU WERE SUPPOST TO BE HOME AN HOUR AGO!" she said madly.

"I'm sorry, I was singing with Troy and I ran home as fast I could." she explained.

"YOU WERE SINGING?! WHY THE HELL WERE YOU SINGING?"

"I'm sorry, but I made an audition and I have to practice."

"NO! OH NO! YOU HAVE TO FOCUS ON YOUR GRADES AND SCHOOL! YOU'RE QUITING THAT!! YOU HAVE TO BE LIKE YOUR FATHER! LIKE YOU SAID YOU WOULD!"

"WHY THE HELL WOULD IT MATTER IF I WERE! YOU NEVER TALK ABOUT HIM! ALL YOU EVER FUCKIN' DO IS YELL AT ME AND BLAME ME THAT I KILLED HIM AND I WAS THE WORSE THING IN HIS LIFE!"

"WELL YOU WERE! AND DON'T EVER TALK TO ME IN THAT TONE OF VOICE AGAIN! GO TO YOUR ROOM! AND YOUR GROUNDED!"

Gabriella was already crying. She ran out the door and ran to the park. Chad was there shooting some hoops by himself. He looked at the girl.

"GABI! IS THAT YOU?!" he called. Gabriella heard him, but went on crying. He ran to her.

"Gabi! Are you ok??" he asked.

"No!!"

"What's wrong?" he asked concerned.

"MY LIFE! THAT'S WHAT'S WRONG! I HATE MY MOM!" she said crying harder.

"Gabriella? What? What does your mom have to do with this?"

"Ok…I have never told you this. I told Troy this, but not you. Ok my mom, well before I say that I should say my dad died about ½ a year ago. He got shot by a robber, y'know since he worked at a bank. And ever since that, my mom well she blames me on why my dad died. So, now I have to keep up my grades, like my dad. But she still never talks about him unless it's about 'I have to be like him'. And now, well-" she showed him all her bruises.

"SHE DOES THAT?!" he said shocked and mad.

"Yeah, and look, I'm gonna stay here. You know just sleep here. And don't tell anyone-"

"OH NO! YOU'RE NOT STAYIN' HERE BY YOURSELF!" HE SAID MADLY.

"Then where?"

"I know, not with me because my mom won't. But what about Troy."

"Well-NO! NOT WITH TROY!!"

"Well, if you aren't then I'm staying here with you!"

"(sighs) Do I have to?"

"Yes, and here I'll call." Chad got out his cell and gave a Troy a ring and it was on speaker.

"Yo! Troy here!" he answered.

"Yo Troy!"

"Hey Chad. Waz up?"

"Look, I have a question-DAMN GABI HOW HARD DID YOUR MOM HIT YOU! YOUR EYE'S SWELLING!" he yelled.

"Chad? What?? Is Gabriella there? What happened?"

"Sorry dude. Gabriella's here and she just got the living hell beaten out of her by her mom and she doesn't wanna go home. She said she wanted to stay at the park by herself and I wasn't gonna let her do that, and she can't go with me because of my mom, but what about if she stayed with you?"

"YES! Of course she can!" he said without thinking.

"Cool, I'll drop her off." he said and they both hung up. Chad drove her to Troy's house. They both went up to the door and knocked. The door opened and they saw nobody.

"MWAMY! THWERE'S CHAD AND A MWONSTER AT THE DWOOR!" a little voice called.

"COMING HONEY!" Troy's mom yelled. She came up to the door.

"I'm soo sorry Chad and Gabriella. And Gabriella my name is: Lucille. Please don't call me Mrs.Bolton. I feel old if you do. Troy said you were coming. Come on in. Oh and this is Dyllin. Troy's younger brother. He's 4."

Ok guys, isn't that a cliff hanger. The next one will be out fast. Thanks guys.
