I could feel the butterflies in my stomach.

I was beaming in excitement.
I was squealing like a little child.
I was smiling like an idiot.

Gabriella had her eyes closed as Troy held her hand and led her into the dining room.

''No peaking!'' Troy said in a serious tone.

I giggled, nodding and continuing to walk with my eyes closed.

''Okay..'' Troy closed the door as they entered the dining room and stood behind Gabriella, putting his hands over her eyes. ''3...2...1...'' Troy removed his hands. ''Look.''

Gabriella slowly opened her eyes and layed her eyes on a white fluffy teddy bear and a red rose infront of her. She quickly threw her arms around Troy's neck and kissed him, hugging him tightly as a smiled appeared on her face.

''You are the cutest!'' I smiled as I picked up the teddy bear. I noticed a white card and started to open it.

Gabriella Louise Montez

1 ticket for Lake District

24 Mundo road

August 26th 2012 - August 29th 2012

''What...but...how...this...'' I kept stuttering as I found it hard to get my words out.

Troy chuckled. ''A break is definitely what you could use right now. Me and you. Nothing else. No one else. No drama just the company of one another in a peaceful quiet beautiful town.''

''I like the sound of that.'' I smiled. ''Thank you.'' I whispered softly as I hugged him.

''I should think you'd be packing right away, you know, with you being a girl and everything.'' Troy laughed.

''Sssh you.'' I glared at him and giggled. ''I will see you later.''

Troy gave Gabriella a peck on the lips and headed out, leaving her with a busy night ahead of her.

Gabriella made her way upstairs to her bedroom. She pulled out a suitecase and began to throw things into it. Clothes, pyjamas, make up, pills, razors, accessories, blankets. She zipped up the suitecase and lifted it up, taking it downstaires and placing it in the living room. She sat down on the sofa and flicked through the channels on the TV but she felt sleepy and soon found herself dozing off.

2 hours later...

I woke up to find myself shaking, tears streaming down my face and Troy holding me in his arms, rocking me back and forth. It was just a nightmare. Trey being here, his hands all over my body, his attempt to rape me was all a nightmare. For a moment I opened my eyes but it wasn't long before I closed them again to hide the tears. I slowly breathed in and out. Taking in everything that just happened. My heart was racing, beating so fast that I felt it was gonna explode any moment. I cried, sobbed, screamed like a baby. I could feel Troy's arms tighten around me before I pushed them away.

I didn't want him to see me like this. So vulnerable and fragile. I didn't want him to leave me or let me go either though. I finally turned around and layed my eyes on him. I tried to stay strong but it was pointless. I broke down in tears again and this time as Troy pulled me into his arms, I didn't push him away. We sat there in silence for an hour before I finally pulled away.

''I just came in and found you screaming, shaking, crying..''

''Nightmare... I'm so sorry. Maybe this was all wrong..''

''What do you mean?''

''You, getting involved with a girl like me. I'm fucked up Troy. You'd be better off without me.''

''Don't say that, babe.''

''But it's true. In the end, all I'll end up doing is tearing you down and making you as fucked up as I am and I can't do that... not to someone I care about.''

''Gabriella, just stop alright? Nothing you can say can change the way I feel about you. We already had this discussion. I'm with you until the end.''

''But I don't wanna hurt you..'' tears began to form in my eyes.

''I'm a big boy, I can handle it.'' Troy gently toke Gabriella's hands and looked her in the eyes. ''I love you.''

I smiled as I leaned in and kissed his cheek. ''I think, I think I love you too..''

''Always here, babe.'' Troy passionately kissed Gabriella.

I giggled through the kiss, sliding my tongue into Troy's mouth and slowly running my hands up his shirt. I gently pushed him onto the sofa and got on his lap. I giggled as I felt his mouth on my neck and pulled his shirt off. My legs around his waist, his hands on my thighs, the butterflies in my stomach. I ran my hands down his chest as he began to unbutton my shirt. A part of me knew it was wrong but I didn't want it to stop. I wanted him, I needed him, I craved for him. I lay back as his tongue moved down my stomach and watched as he crawled on top of me. I ran my fingers through his hair and quietly moaned. I felt myself breathing faster as he removed my leggings and began to softly kiss my thighs. I started to get flashbacks. I screamed as I saw Trey's face and moved away, pulling my legs up to my chest and holding myself. The tears appeared.

''Please don't hurt me..'' I cried.

Troy sighed and moved closer to Gabriella. ''Baby, calm down. No one's gonna hurt you. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have thought you we're ready.''

''It's not your fault.. It's Trey.''

''Trey? You're brother?''

I gently shoke my head, looking down. ''Troy... he raped me.''
