Chapter 47

Frank finally stopped raping me. Gabriella curled up in a ball and tried to call Troy again. "Please...please Troy pick up!" Gabriella said crying uncontrollably.

"Hello?" Troy said.

"Troy!" Gabriella said crying harder hearing his voice.

"Gabi? Is that you?" Troy said sounding worried.

"T-Troy..." I said crying even harder.

"Gabi? What's wrong?" Troy said worried. You could could hear it in his voice.

"TROY! Please..." Gabriella couldn't finish her sentence. It was drowned out by crying.

"Bella...what's wrong...tell me!" he said.

"Troy...I..." Gabriella couldn't say it. No matter how much she tried.

"'Brie...tell me what's wrong?" Troy said as worried as ever.

Gabriella got up and into the bathroom to wipe her tears. She looked into the mirror and noticed she had a black eye. "Why...?" Gabriella mumbled.

"Why what Gabs? Tell me what happened!" Troy said.

"Troy...why?" Gabriella asked crying.

"Why what? Gabs...I'm coming over...I'll sneek through your balcony door okay?" Troy said.

Gabriella looked at the time. It was already 1 am. "Troy...no...I'll...-"

"NO! Gabi...my baby's hurt. I need to know why!" Troy said. You could hear he was now crying too. It was too hard for him to know that someone had hurt his girlfriend.

"Troy...I love you..." Gabriella said it for the first time. It felt so right. "I love you too babe. I'm coming over alright?" Troy said. He loved Gabi with all his heart. Nothing was going to hurt her.

"Okay..." Gabriella said softly.

Troy hung up and in about 2 minutes there was knock at her door. Gabriella opened the door and ran towards Troy and hugged him tightly. "Baby...ssshhh...it's okay...ssshhh." Troy said stroking her hair.

"Troy...promise me...that you'll never leave me? Protect me?" she said looking up at Troy.

"I promise my Bella...forever and ever we'll be together..." said Troy hugging her tightly. It felt so right for them. They were finally together. Nothing could break them apart.

"Troy?" Gabriella said.

"Yeah?" Troy said.

"Why didn't you answer your phone the first time?" Gabriella asked wanting to know what had happened.

"I'm sorry...I heard your message. My phone went dead and I had to charge. I'm so sorry Gabs..." he said crying. He didn't want to see his Gabriella like that.

"It's okay..." said Gabriella.

"Wait...Gabi...why do you have a black eye? What happened?" Troy asked worried.

"My mom..." Gabriella explained it all. Troy hugged her tightly. Troy didn't want to hear what happened...but he had to.

"Gabi...I'm so sorry..." he said and kissed her passionately. They pulled away. They looked into each others eyes. "Thanks Troy..." she said and hugged him. Her head lying on his chest.

"Will you stay here?" Gabriella asked hoping he would.

"Of course..." he said. They walked toward her bed. Gabriella looked at Troy. She knew know matter what...they'll be together. Gabriella laid her head on Troy's chest. Listening to his heartbeat. It was beating faster than usual. "Troy? Are you okay?" asked Gabriella.

"Why wouldn't I?" Troy asked.

"Your heartbeat is faster than usual." said Gabriella.

"I blame you for that." he said. He smiled at her.

"Of course..." said Gabriella.

The next morning...

Gabriella's alarm went off. Troy woke up first. Gabriella was laying next to him, and he had his arm around her. Troy was as happy as he ever was and could be. "Gabi...I love you..." Troy said to himself.

"I love you too..." Gabriella whispered.

"Gabs? You awake?" he said stroking her beautiful black.

"No, I'm talking in my sleep. What do you think Troy boy?" she said smiling and opening her eyes.

"Troy boy?" Troy asked smiling.

"You don't like it?" Gabriella said trying to sound hurt.

"Of course I do..." Troy said smiling. Troy kissed her temples.

"It's time for school." said Gabriella.

"Yep..." said Troy.

Gabriella went and took a shower. Troy was suppost to have left to change, but when she came out in only a towel Troy was still there. He just gazed at her.

"TROY!" she screamed embarrassed.

"Sorry...sorry..." he said covering his eyes, but still peeking. "Oh and by the way...you look...F-I-N-E FINE!" Troy said.

"Why thank you..." she said laughing.

"Now...uh...can you put some clothes on? So I can go home and change and stuff?" Troy asked.

"Sure..." she said. A few minutes later she came out of the bathroom. "I'm done..." she said.

"Okay...well...I'll see you at school" said Troy leaving.

"Wait!" Gabriella said.

"What?" and Troy turned around.

She gave him peck on the lips. "Bye Troy boy!" she said.

"That's all I get?" he asked.

"Yes..." she said.

"What?? I came here and I slept with you to protect you and ALL I get is a peck on the lips." Troy said trying to sound hurt.

"Fine!" she said and gave him another peck.

"WHAT??" he said.

"That's all 14..." Gabriella said laughing at her boyfriend.

"It's 14 now eh?" he said smiling back at her.

"What? Now you don't like that nickname either!" she said and walked away with her arms crossed.

"NO! Gabs...I was only kiddn'!" he said running after.

"I was only kiddin' too." she smiled and gave him a passionate kiss.

"You happy now?" she smiled.

"Yep.." Troy said.

"Love you!" Gabriella called when Troy was running towards the balcony. Troy stopped right before jumping onto the tree.

"Right back atcha babe!" he said and left.

Gabriella smiled at his boyfriend. Gabriella went downstairs. She looked at her mom and rolled her eyes. She still had a black eye. "Hi hunnie!" said her mom. Gabriella ignored her.

"Hi baby!" said Frank, "I had fun last night." he said. Gabriella wanted to responded, but told herself not to. She grabbed some toast and left. She walked to school fast. At the enterance Taylor, Chad,and the rest of the gang was there. Gabriella had always been friends with Taylor and Chad, but now she was friends with the rest of the gang. (meaning: Kelsi, Sharpay, Ryan, Jason, Zeke, and Ryan.) Gabriella came up to them. She had the biggest smile ever. "Somebody seems happy..." said Zeke.

"What?" Gabriella said still smiling.

"She and Troy are FINALLY together." Chad laughed.

"Yes we are!" said Troy coming behind Gabriella and putting his hands arounds her waist.

"See?" said Chad.

"I knew it was going to happen sooner or later." Taylor laughed.

"Um, Gabs?" Jason said.

"Yeah?" Gabriella looked at him.

"Um, why do you have a small black part by your eye?" Jason asked confused.

"Damn it..." Gabriella said under her breath. This morning she tried to cover it with make up.

"What?" Chad asked getting concerned.

Gabriella looked at Troy...they all knew about Gabriella's mom and she had done to Gabriella. "Her mom..." said Troy looking down at Gabriella.

"I'm sorry 'Brie." said Taylor.

"It's nothing..." said Gabi.

"It's nothing? Okay...I may be flunking a few classes, but it's not nothing Gabs. You need to go to the police. It's called Child Abuse..." said Jason.

"Flunk boy is right. You need to go to the police." said Sharpay.

"Thanks you-HEY! I'm not flunking all of my classes!" Jason said.

"Yeah...sure..." Kelsi said.

"Guys...it's okay...I'm okay..." she lied.

"Gabi...no your not...please go to the police." said Troy hugging her with his arms around her neck, cuz' he was still behind her.

"I'M OKAY!" Gabriella yelled. She was frustrated about the whole situation, "Just drop it...okay?" she said calming down.

"Okay Gabster..." said Zeke.

"Thanks guys for caring, but I'm okay..." she said with tears in her eyes.

"It's okay baby!" said Troy.

"Thanks guys..." she said putting her arm around her and around Troy's head.

"You guys are so cute!" Sharpay squealed.

"Thanks Shar..." said Troy.

Okay guys...I hope you enjoyed it!
