I'M BAAAAAAAAAAACK!! LOL!! Seriously, I'm back with a new fanfic, Protected by Heart. It's a Troyella, just like all my other stories, unless they're Zanessa. Anyway, this is an abuse story. My first one! I've had this idea for this story since... a few months after HSM came out! Holy crap! lol! Yeah, that's a while! I even have a sequal idea already! Alrighty, back to THIS! It takes place 8 years after the gang's graduation, unless flashbacks are inserted. Ok, here's the trailer! Just like my other story God's First Nightmare, I have the first chapter pretty much written. I just need you to tell me if I should put it up. Ok? Ok! Here's Protected by Heart! Enjoy and Review:)

How did you get here?

"How did you meet dad, mom?" Connie asked her mother. Gabriella had to bite her tongue to keep from breaking out into uncontrollable sobs.

2 seconds ago you were deeply in love and had everything that you've ever wanted

"I love you Troy." A 16 year old Gabriella told her boyfriend.

"I love you too Gabby..." Troy replied, giving her a soft kiss on her lips.

And now you find yourself slowly falling apart

Shows Gabriella sitting on the stairs sobbing with her head in her hands.

All because you've believed the biggest lie possible

"H-he said that he would never hurt me! I feel so stupid!" Gabriella sobbed.

When I, the person that you threw away, wonders back into your life,

Shows Troy at the top of the stairs staring at Gabriella, who was at the bottom.

Will you tell me?

"Gabriella, does he hurt you?" Troy asked, more like a demand.

Will you tell me about the tragedy your life has become?

"My God Gabby. What did he do to you?"

Most importantly,

Can I help?

"No Troy! You need to stay out of this!" Gabriella cried, trying to pull away from his grasp.

Will you find the love that you thought you lost?

"You're married..." Troy whispered, his lips only millimeters away from hers.

"I haven't been his wife for years..." Gabriella replied.

Will I make the promise to never let him hurt you again?

"I promise he won't ever even look at you again." Troy replied.

Will I keep that promise?

"Promise is a big word Troy..." Gabriella nervously answered.

So many questions,

So much fear

So much love and confusion

You think that it's so hard, but all you have to do is unlock your heart and drop your guard

"I need you to trust me when I say this Gabby." Troy pleaded, feeling the need to drop to his knees.

"I'm sorry Troy. I just need a little more time to trust men..."

Don't worry

Don't scream

Don't cry

It's alright now

Now that you've put your heart into my hands, you're safe. You're free. You're...

"I still love you Troy." Gabriella whispered, smiling.

Troy kissed her temple and replied "I never stopped Gabby."

Protected by Heart

My heart. You're safe now. I promise.

Rachel :)
