THE NEW GIRL

56. SHE'S MINE.

"What happened?" Jake said as the others came along.

"I'll explain later. Now she needs air."

"Why are you holding her?!" A familiar voice that I unfortunately hear everyday of my life spoke to me.

"Andrea I really don't have time for your disturbance." I said as I walked to the door where it was widely opened for me.

I felt the inquisitive crowd following at my back but they weren't close to me.

I dropped her on one of the beach beds near the eight feet pool. I could see the crowd already forming outside with all eyes on us.

"Hey...Gaby wake up...wake up please." I shook her head gently.

"What happened to her?" Andrea and Scarlet came to us as they knelt down by her side.

"Some bastard was trying to get away with her." I said it low so that the inquisitive crowd wouldn't hear me. Their eyes widened, especially Andrea. "He choked her out. Thank God I suspected something was fishy, if not......" I heaved a frustrated sigh.

"Here take." Jake came and handed me a glass of water.

"Thanks." I said as I took it. I quickly sprinkled it on her face. "C'mon Gaby." I sprinkled it again. She shuddered at the water sprinkling then fluttered her eyelashes as she slowly opened her beautiful eyes.

Thank God.

With time, she fully opened her eyes and stared at me. "A-andre?" She spoke softly. "A-a-andre." Tears started to fall on her cheeks.

"I'm here."

"Andre." She embraced me as she cried. "H-h-he got away with me. I-I-I told him to stop but he didn't. I'm-I'm ruined."

"No you're not. I stopped him." I said to her and she stared at me.

"Really?" She sniffles.

"Yes. Shhh. I'm here. It's alright." I softly ran my fingers through her hair. "No one's going to hurt you. I promise."

We were heading to my car when Andrea came to us.

"Where the hell do you think you're going to with her?" She folded her arms as she looked at me squarely.

"What does it look like I'm doing?" I rose my brow. "I'm taking her home." I held her hand and she looked at me.

"Its fine, I can do that." She said as Kylie and Scarlet along with the boys including Peter and DJ came.

"Uh uh. There is no way I am leaving her with you guys." I shook my head in disapproval.

"Excuse me?" She said appalled. "By the way I'm sure Gabriella doesn't want to go with you."

"Oh really how sure are you? Why don't we just ask her?"

"Fine, let's ask her. Gaby...." She looked at her. "Who do you want to go with? Me or him? For sure its me. C'mon let's go." Andrea held her hand but to my surprise she flinched away from her and hid at my back.

"D-d-dont touch me." She said frightened.

"But—" Andrea tried to say something but she caught her off.

"I'm not going with you!....I-I-I'll only go with him!" She stuttered. "No one should touch or come near me.....d-d-do you understand?!....don't hurt me!"

"Andrea leave her alone..." Scarlet said as she placed her hand on Andrea's shoulder. "...She's traumatized by the whole situation. She won't trust anyone right now. Just give her till Monday."

I unlocked the car with my keys and then turned to her and cupped her face. She looked scared, really scared. Her eyes were dilated and her lips where trembling as fuck. When I get my hands on that bastard, he won't believe what I'll do to him. "Hey hey look at me. Am I with you? Am I here?" She nodded her head. "Then no one will have the audacity to even lay a finger.....on you. No one." I said to her and she wrapped her arms around me. I wanted to kiss her to assure her I'm with her and I'm her protection and her sheild but they're here - Andrea. "C'mon now enter the car. I'm coming." I said and glanced at Andrea that was analyzing us.

"OK." She said and timidly went into the car.

When she entered, I turned to them and looked at Andrea and her crew. My voice went to an arrogant and somewhat professional voice. "Back to what I was saying. There is no way in fucking God damned bloody hell that I am leaving her in the hands of you guys..." I walked in front of everyone as I glared at all their faces then stopped in front of their queen, Andrea Lombardi. I really spoilt her too much. I gave her too many privileges in the school. "I enter a crowd and I find Kevin of all people about to give her a God damn body shot! The thing that perplexed me was that you guys stood and watched like nitwits! Peter and DJ what the hell?!....Scarlet what the fuck was going through your mind. And you, Mother of Gabriella! What the hell?!.....And then you all fucking left her alone resulting to this shit!"

"Turns out she was drunk and alone with only Hillsong High Boys." Wes spoke.

I gritted my teeth as the information sank into my brain. "Did any of you look for her?! To see if she was in some sort of trouble.....no! And now you expect me to leave her in the hands of you! You must be joking sis." I chuckled nastily and faced the boys. "Jake, Drake, Wes. Gather the boys, take him to the place where we deal with idiots like him and give him a nice treatment." I spoke and walked to my car.

"Alright, let's go." Drake said and they left with Peter and DJ into the Mansion.

I can't believe they brought her here.

"You guys are pretty close huh." Andrea said and I rose head up.

"Andrea are you serious right now? She just went through a traumatic situation, I was the one who saved her and I was the one who she saw first after she choked out. That's why she's clinging to me."

I think.

"She'll be fine tomorrow. Or worse, after some days, she'll recover and get back to her normal self."

"Oh." Was all she said.

I entered the car and drove off.
