"My dad was the one who gave me that mark." she explained. "it reminds me of him everyday."
"Did he hurt you?" He asked.
"Yes," she said. "But it's no lie."
"So, why did he give you that mark?" He questioned.
"Because he thought it was the best," she replied. "but I never wanted him to hurt me, or even leave my mum. After divorcing her and leaving his only child."
"Did you remember what happened that day?" He asked.
"I've been trying to forget," she answered. "all I get is the pictures of what he did to me. But I never wanted to see him again. That's because sister, Bella was born and she knows him better than me."
"But what could be worse?" He asked her.
"The worse thing is that he keeps giving that look every single day of my life," She sighed.
"When is he ever going to give?" He also asked her.
"Until," she paused. "the day I die."
"You shouldn't have to worry," he said, lifting her chin. "because your apart of this family now, and you've even got me."
"And you've got me." She added for him.
"I know," he said. "I have got you, Gabriella."
Then he took her into his arms, and laid her back down on the sofa.
(flash back)
"You have been a jerk. But, I can't see why you and Chad can't get along with each other." She cried out.
"Gabriella, I am really sorry." He said, almost shedding a tear.
"I can't be around you anymore, Troy." Gabriella said, leaving without a single word.
(End of flashback)
"You remembered something that day, didn't you?" she asked him.
"Yes," he said. "I remember you calling Troy a jerk. After he told the teacher that Chad and Taylor were talking in the middle of her lesson."
"I know," she said. "But that was because he was being a jerk and not a very good boyfriend."
"That's probably because you choose Tommy over him?" He asked.
"Yes," she said. "But more importantly, I have you now, and you'll never be like Troy, or even like Tommy."
"Now why would I be another one of them?" He asked, confused.
"Because I know your smarter than them," she answered. "and I get to live the rest of my life with you. Even our baby."
"I know," he said. "and I have to look after the both of you."
"Gabriella, can I have a moment with Edward?" Carlisle asked, as she nodded 'yes'.
"Yes," she said. "You can have a moment with him."
(Flash back)
"Hey, Gabby." Troy said, entering the room.
"Hey, Troy." She said, when Tom had walked towards them.
"You figured it out, didn't you, Gabriella?" He asked, curiously.
"Figured what out?" She asked, playing dumb with him.
"Figured that this school might turn into Hogwarts." He said, trying to jog her memory back.
(End of flashback)
And then, Edward came back into the room to talk with her.
"What are you smiling about?" He asked, kissing her lips.
"That day when Troy called me 'Gabby'," she said. "but he didn't know that I wasn't into love with him, Edward, and he's still coming after me."
"Well, I guess that maybe, he has slipped the line," he said, calming her down. "because he just doesn't understand how I feel about you, Gabriella, and I would never let anyone hurt you."
"Because you'll be there for me," she replied, even though it wasn't a question.
"Of course I'll be there for you." He said, pulling her in for a hug.
"Even you knew that I was in love with you." She said, as he kissed her once more.
"I did know that you were in love with me," he replied. "that's why I couldn't let you go."
"I know you couldn't," she said. "this is why I trust you. But I also I trust your family."
"And you will always trust us, after we turn you into a vampire," he said. "right?"
"Of course I trust you," she said. "I'm glad that you'll always be my home, whenever you need me to be here."
"And you'll be here for me, even our child," he added. "she'll need her mum."
"She'll have the both the both of us." She said, then he put his hand on her stomach.
(flashback)
"Why are you following me to the library, Troy?" She questioned him.
"Because I have a right to know why you left the Music Room." He Protested.
"Because you think that I don't have anything on that Friday, and I have, I'm going to down to Texas, to visit a friend of mine, then I'm coming back here to watch the basketball game." Gabriella replied to him.
(End of flashback)
"I guess that the baby is sleeping." He said, putting a lock of hair behind her ear.
"Your probably right." She said, catching a glimpse of him.
"After the baby is born," he said. "I'm gonna take you out on a date."
"I know," she said, as she felt the baby kick. "I think it's awake."
"I guess your right." He said, then Gabriella drifted of to sleep.
"Sleep well, Gabriella." He said, picking her up, and putting her down on the sofa, so she could get some sleep.
"Edward, you should stay with her." Alice said. "she looks happier with you. Tommy would have wanted her to be with you."
"And she will be." Tommy said. "I died, so she could move on. It is what I would've wanted for her."
"Well, maybe your right," Edward replied. "she will be much happier, after she turns into one of us."
"I'm grateful for that," he said. "after all, your apart of her life now."
"We know she is," Carlisle said, joining the conversation.
"I hope that the baby knows who it's real father is." Tommy said, disappearing into the light.
"Who's the real father of the child?" Rosalie asked.
"I am," Edward replied. "I'm it's real father."
(Flashback)
'I can't believe this is really happening.' She thought to herself.
"Gabriella, the bus is here." Her mother yelled upstairs to her, and she quickly grabbed her suitcase.
"Coming, Mum, and it's actually a coach." She yelled back down to her.
(End of Flashback)
"And you are." Alice said, gladly.
Then he saw Gabriella turn on her side, and shaked her by the shoulder.
"Gabriella," he said, waking her up. "Your having a nightmare."
"Thank you for waking me up." He said, whilst the others lifted the both of them alone.
"Your welcome," he said. "and Tommy came to speak to us again, after you fell asleep."
"Did he?" She asked.
"Yes," he said. "he told us that we are your life now, and that he wanted you to be happier with me."
"Of course I'm happier with you, Edward," she said. "but I would never change a thing."
"Your right," he agreed. "it wouldn't change a thing, and you need to get some sleep. I'll be here when you wake up in the morning."
"I know you'll be here when I wake," she said and she laid back down.
'I wish I could turn back time, so I could meet you again, Gabriella.' He said, kissing her forehead, as he stroked her hand.
3 hours later, Edward had just lifted the room, when he heard a groaning noise coming from Gabriella.
"Gabriella," He questioned. "Why are you not a sleep?"
"Because I keep falling asleep, and then, I get these dreams of Tommy, you and mostly, Troy Bolton, but that's not it. He keeps trying to kill, then he's trying to get his best friend to sat me on fire," She said. "But, why are all of these things happening to the one person in all of the world?"
"Because your special, and I wouldn't want to kill you," He replied, trying to make her better.
"It's because I'm the most precious person in the whole entire universe?" She questioned, catching his eyes.
"It is because your the most precious person in the whore entire universe," He answered. "Why would anyone want to hurt a most beautiful girl in the world?"
"Because they don't have a care in a world," she replied. "and also, they don't care on how precious us gals can be. But it doesn't matter on how much they hurt us. They bet us, then they'll say their sorry."
"Never underestimate yourself, Gabriella," he said. "Your the most modest girl I've ever seen in the world, and I'm not just saying that, because I know that it's true."
(flashback)
"Mum, Sarah's parents have invited me over for a party." Gabriella said, smiling.
"Are you going to be joined by Terrence and them?" She asked.
"Of course I am." She said, then went to get an apple from the kitchen.
"Skylar's going to be with her boyfriend named, Mike." Her mother included.
"How did you know about Skylar and Mike?" She questioned.
"I saw them texting you on your phone." She said and left the room.
