A/N I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING! WARNING THIS CHAPTER MIGHT GET A LITTLE MORE GRAPHIC THAN THE OTHERS BUT IT IS STILL RATED T SO IT WON'T BE BY MUCH BUT I JUST WANT TO WARN YOU ANYWAY.
For the next few months that's how things went with Gabriella. She hid the abuse from her friends and even had to lie to her brother just to keep him safe. They all knew something wasn't right. They all knew she was in some kind of trouble but none of them knew what to do. Jack couldn't find other prove that led him to believe Greg was hurting Gabriella so he let it go. Greg continued to beat on Gabriella and tell her no one loved her and told her that she was useless and told her that everything happening was her father and insult her verbally. Gabriella she got weaker and weaker, she was no longer able to fight her father off anymore, and instead she just let her father attack her. She'd cry but she would never beg for him to stop. It only made him continue. Her weight dropped to an unhealthy one and she always wore long sleeves to cover her bruises. Most importantly she lost her trust in everyone. The one person she still trusted was Troy and even sometimes he still scared her. Her father had killed all the trust she had in her brother, her friends, her mother, anyone. She jumped at even the slightest tough and flinch anytime someone raised their hand, even in class if someone just raised their hand to ask a question she would flinch. Every day the guys questioned her and everyday she stayed quiet, she hardly spoke anymore. She would only answer to yes or no questions, nor did she ever give her option. She agreed with whatever was said even if deep down she didn't agree with it at all. That's all the damage her father had created.
One afternoon as everyone was leaving school Troy asked "Brie Chad and I are going over to the park to play some basketball you want join us?"
"Yeah Gabster it could be fun."
Gabriella just shook her head no and left school. The guys sighed. "I wish she would tell us what's going on with her." Troy said.
"Me too. I hate seeing her like this." Chad said.
Little did those boys know there wish was about to come true but not in the way they wanted.
Gabriella went home, made her dad dinner the stood there as he ate. It's what she had been doing for months now. When he was finished he turned to her and said "I want you to come with me."
"Should I clean up first Master?"
"No I need something from you and it's way more important."
"Yes Master."
Gabriella followed her father into his bedroom. He closed the door behind them. He turned to her and said "Take off your clothes."
"What?"
"What part of that did you not understand?"
"All of it. Master I will do anything for you but what you are asking me to do is unfair and wrong."
"Do it!"
"No, this is where I draw the line. This is one thing I will not let happen."
"Fine if you won't do it on your own I'll do it for you."
Greg grabbed her and pinned her down to the bed. He reached up Gabriella's shirt she screamed and started to squirm. She knew what was going to happen and she scared to death.
"Dad please don't do this!" she cried.
Greg slapped her. "I SAID TO ALWAYS CALL ME MASTER!"
"Please Master! Please anything but this!"
"Sorry Gabriella but it's time you learn how to be a real women."
"No! No! this is wrong! Mom said it's wrong!" Gabriella cried.
Tears were streaming down her face.
"Mom isn't here and neither is your sweet Gabriel. How do you think he will feel when he leans you slept with your father?"
Gabriella cried feeling so helpless and defenseless. She knew begging wouldn't do any good. She let out a scream when her father reached down to undo her jeans…..
At the park Troy and Chad were still going at it. Suddenly Troy got this funny feeling in his stomach. Something was right. Gabriella was in trouble. He was thrown from his thought when the ball hit him in the head.
"You had that, what happen?" Chad asked.
"I'm going to call Gabriella. Something is wrong."
"Well yeah we've known that. Why is now suddenly so different."
"I don't know but I feel it in my gut. I'm just going to call her."
Just then something caught Chad's eye.
"Dude…"
"Don't try and stop me."
"NO Troy look!" Chad pointed to a figure headed towards them.
Troy gasped. Coming toward them was Gabriella. She was beaten to a blood pulp, she was shaking and crying her clothes were ripped and torn and she was barely breathing. Before she could reach them she collapsed to the ground. Troy and Chad ran over to her. Chad went to move the hair from her face but the second she felt someone touch her she screamed and her hand flew out scratching Chad across the cheek.
"No! Don't touch me!"
"Chad back up." Troy said. He rushed to his best friend's side. "Brie, it's ok It's Troy. What hurts?"
"Everything."
"We need to get her to the hospital." Chad said.
"An ambulance will take too long." Troy said. "We have to take her."
"NO! NO HOSPITAL! OW OW!" Gabriella cried out.
"Gabriella can I pick you up? We need to get you help."
Gabriella nodded. With help from Chad she sat up and Troy took her into his arms carrying her bridal style. She curled into him burring her face in the crook of his neck clinging to his shirt.
"We need to get her help." Chad said running next to Troy.
"A hospital is too far on foot. She'd bleed out in my arms."Troy said.
"Your house is the closest thing right now. We will make a house call but at least we will get control of the bleeding."
Ok you're right."
They both ran as fast as they could to Troy's house. Once they got to the front door they stopped.
"Chad in my bag is my keys get them for me."
Chad quickly grabbed the keys and unlocked the front door.
"MOM DAD HELP!" Troy screamed. He ran into the living room and went to set Gabriella down on the couch but she screamed.
"NO!"
"Shhh Brie you're safe here I promise."
"NO! DON'T LET ME GO!"
"Tell me where the first aid kit is I'll get it." Chad said.
"Upstairs first closet down at the bottom."
Chad rushed out just as his parents rushed in.
"Troy what is….OH MY GOSH GABRIELLA!" Lucille screamed,
Both she and Jack ran over to her. "What happen?"
"I don't know I found her like this. I couldn't make it to the hospital on foot and since I can't drive yet I had no car."
"I'll go call a doctor" Jack said.
"NO! NO DOCTOR PLEASE! I DON'T WANT TO BE TOUCHED I DON'T WANT TO BE TOUCHED!" Gabriella screamed and cried harder.
"Jack wait. Right now a doctor will make this worse. Let's clean her up and calm her down then we will call a doctor." Lucille said.
Jack nodded and Chad came back with the first aid kit.
"Gabriella listen to me I know you don't want to be touched by we need to help clean you off."
"NO! NO! DON'T TOUCH ME! DON'T TOUCH ME! MOMMY SAID YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO TOUCH ME THERE!"
Everyone in the room froze. They knew what had happen and it killed every single one of them. Lucille took over.
"I know baby. I know and you're right, you're very right, no one is allowed to touch you in your private areas. I would not touch you there but I need to get you cleaned up and stop you from bleeding. You can trust me sweetie. I won't hurt you."
"No men." She whimpered softly.
"No men. We can have all the guys leave and it will just be you and me I promise."
Gabriella nodded. Troy set her down on the couch and he, Jack and Chad left the room. Lucille helped Gabriella clean up and stop all the bleeding. Once she calmed down Lucille asked "Baby it's very important that we make sure this never happens again. In order for that to happen you need to tell me who did this to you."
"Master."
"Who is master?"
"Troy, get Troy."
"Are you sure sweetie?"
"Yes, I want Troy."
Lucille turned and called out for Troy. He came back inside.
"Gabriella has told me that Master is the one who did this to her. Any idea who master is?" Lucille asked.
"No."
"Troy, Master is pain." Gabriella said.
"Baby please just tell us who did this." Troy said.
"We can't help you unless you tell us." Lucille said.
"If I tell Gabriel will die."
"No, I promise you Gabriel will stay alive."
"Promise?"
"Yes."
"Master is…Master is… Master is daddy." Gabriella said burst into tears.
Troy gasped. Greg had done this to her? It all made sense. These past few months Gabriella had been abused physically, verbally and now even sexually by her father. It made Troy sick.
"Greg did this to you?" Lucille asked.
Gabriella nodded.
"Gabriella did he rape you?" Troy asked.
He had to know. Gabriella shook her head. "He touched me and he kissed me but he didn't actually rape me. He passed out before he could finish the job. What if he tries again?" Gabriella cried harder.
"Baby, baby, shhh, shhh Greg won't get a chance to hurt you again I promise. This is all over. I'm going to call the police." Lucille said.
She got up and left the room. Troy took her seat by Gabriella's side.
"Is this your big secret?" Troy asked.
"Yes. I wanted to tell you but Greg told me he'd kill Gabriel. Please don't hurt me I'm sorry for lying I'm sorry." Gabriella cried.
"I'd never hurt you. Gabriella baby I love you I'd never hurt you."
"Daddy loved me too. He said he'd never hurt me too."
"You're just going to have to trust me. I'd never hurt you Gabriella Montez. "
Gabriella nodded. If there was one man in this world she could trust other than her brother it was Troy.
"I may tickle you tell you're breathless but I'd never hurt you." Troy teased giving her a small poke in the stomach. He was glad when she smiled.
"I'm scared Troy. I don't want anyone to touch me." She said.
"No one is going to touch you."
"But Uncle Jack and Aunt Lucille are going to call the doctor and they are going to touch me. I don't want them to touch me Troy. Please don't let them touch me."
"If the doctors touch you it won't be in your private area. They would just be looking at all your arms and legs and your stomach and your ribs and maybe your feet…so basically just all your ticklish spots."
Gabriella smiled.
"I don't want tickles right now. They'd hurt too much."
"No one is going to touch you without your consent I promise."
"Promise?"
"Yes I do."
Gabriella nodded.
"Gabriella can you…I need to know what happen tonight. You said you weren't raped but you said your father kissed you and touched you?"
"He had gotten me down to nothing but my underwear. Just as he was going to take them off he passed out. Before he passed out he was touching my chest and kissing my chest and…other stuff."
"So he only touched your chest he didn't touch your below at any time?"
"No."
"Ok well that's good at least."
"I've never been happier that he was drunk."
A small smile appeared on Troy's face. He leaned down and placed a gentle kiss to her forehead.
"Are you feeling any better?" he asked.
"Better now that I'm safe. I'm still really sore but it's better because I know I'm safe."
"Good." Lucille walked back in.
"I spoke to the cops they are going to send someone over. As for a doctor I know you don't want anyone touching you so I was thinking of calling Chad's mom. She is a nurse that you know. I thought you might be more comfortable with her looking at you."
"I forgot she was a doctor. Ok I trust her."
"Ok I'll have Chad call her."
"Ok he can come back in if he wants."
Lucille nodded and went back out.
"Troy what's going to happen to me? I don't want to go to foster care."
"You won't. If anything you'd stay here with us. Until your mom and brother come home."
"Really Gabriel is coming home?"
"Of course. I'll call him right now."
"Really?"
"Yeah."
Gabriella's smile went wide. "Please do. I want to talk to him."
Troy took out his phone and dialed the number. He knew it was late there but this was important and it made Gabriella smile.
"Ello?" a voice muttered.
"Gabe it's me. I'm sorry to call you when you're sleeping but it's important. It's about your sister."
Now Gabe was wide awake. "What happen?"
Troy sighed.
"It's a long story but to shorten it, Your father has been beating up Gabriella and he almost raped her tonight so she is here SAFE at my house and she really needed to speak to you."
He made sure to say the word SAFE nice and loud so he could hear it.
"Let me talk to her."
Troy handed her the phone. She went to take but whimpered. "Ow! No Gabriel!" she cried.
"Shhh Brie I'll just put him on speaker."
Troy turned the phone to speaker. "Gabe you're on speaker. Gabriella's arm is little too sore to hold the phone."
"Ok Do me a favor and poke her in the nose for me."
"What why?"
"Trust me just do it."
Troy poked Gabriella on her nose then through the phone she heard a loud BEEP. Gabriella bust into giggles. It was something Gabriel and her did as kids. He'd poke her nose and say BEEP and Gabriella would just bust into giggles every time.
"Man it has been way to long since I heard that." Troy said.
"Gets her every time. Why I have no idea it just does. Hey baby sister."
"Gabriel." Gabriella said.
"I'm so sorry about dad. I swear if I had known I would come back to get you."
"I didn't tell you. I lied to you. I lied to you oh no you are going to hate me. No I'm sorry Gabriel I'm sorry. Oh no dad is right you do hate me. No!" Gabriella cried.
"Gabriella, shhh, shhh it's ok. I love you I love you very much don't cry."
"You hate me! He said you would hate me! You don't love me anymore!"
"Gabriella…"
Gabriella was hysterical by now. Being stern was not working. So he tried something else.
"Belly Bear listen to me baby sister. Listen to me shhhhh."
Belly Bear was her nick name for him. Only he was allowed to call her that.
That calmed Gabriella down a little.
"What dad has told you about me in a lie. I've never, NEVER stopped loving you. I will always, ALWAYS LOVE YOU. Yes you lied to me but I'll just punish you with a tickle torture when I get back, no big deal."
"Ok," Gabriella sniffed. "I love you Gabriel."
"I love you too. I should get going though. I need to talk with mom and get a next plane out there."
"NO, Gabriel don't go." Gabriella said.
"I'll see you real soon Belly Bear I promise."
"No, no!" Gabriella cried.
She started cry all over again. "No, no Gabriel don't go."
Troy and Gabriel sighed. Then Gabriel got an idea.
"Troy take the phone off speaker but put it by Gabriella's ear."
Troy did as he said.
"Gabriella baby can you hear me?"
"Yes, Don't go."
"I have to go but I'm going to help you relax ok. Now close your eyes and just try to relax."
Gabriella closed her eyes. She smiled when he softly started to sing to her.
"Under the silver stars,
Right where he broke your heart.
Girl you know, I'd give you everything.
I wanna hold your hand,
And say the words he never said.
I'll make you promises you can believe.
[Chorus]
Let me be the one,
Telling you it's alright
Sharing the smiles and tears you cry.
Let me be the one,
Loving you when you're weak.
For all of the strength you need,
You can come to me.
When you're down and you feel so lonely
Turn around, you can come to me
When you're down baby, I will be the only
Come to me
You can just be yourself,
'Cause I don't want nobody else.
All of your secrets are safe with me.
For the kind of love you can trust,
[| From: . |]
For more than just a crush,
Baby, why don't you just come to me?
[Chorus]
Let me be the one,
Telling you it's alright
Sharing the smiles and tears you cry.
Let me be the one,
Loving you when you're weak.
For all of the strength you need,
You can come to me.
When I've got you in my arms (got you in my arms)
Say it's where you wanna be (where you wanna be, yeah)
'Cause girl I'm down on my knees
Promising my heart oh, my heart
Whenever you need me, ah
Whenever you need me girl
Whenever you need me, ah
Oh, I'll be there
Whenever you need me, ah
Whenever you need me girl
Whenever you need me, ah
Oh, I'll be there"
Gabriella had calmed back down.
"Feel better?"
"Yes, thank you."
"You're welcome baby sister. Just hang in there. I promise I'll be there as soon as I can."
"Ok."
Troy took the phone back.
"Thank man. I'll see you soon."
"No problem. I'll talk to you later."
"Bye."
Troy hung up.
"You feel a little better now?"
"Yes."
"Good why don't you close your eyes and try to get some rest."
"Will you stay here with me?"
"Of course my Angel."
Gabriella smiled at the nickname and closed her eyes. The truth was out, everything was going to be ok now…right?
A/N next chapter something happens to Gabriel will Gabriella be able to handle it. Also a very nice surprise for all you Troyella fans. This is my longest chapter so far so I hope you all enjoyed it. The part with Gabriel(Troy) poking Gabriella in the nose I actually got that idea because when I was a baby my sister used to do it to me and for some reason I just laughed hysterically so I thought it would be cute to add that in song I used was Come to Me by Jesse McCartney. I do not own i!
