Waterloo Road~ Gabriella & Hector Love Story (Fan-Fiction)

Chapter Thirty- In Danger

I angrily speed-walked through the school, my eyes filled my rage. I saw Hector staring at me with awe. He came over to me quickly.

"Hey, hey, hey", Hector grabbed my arm softly, "Calm down".

I pushed his arm away.

"Don't even bother, Hector", I pushed past him, not even looking back.

Then, on my way outside the school, Barry stopped me as well. All of this was getting annoying.

"You alright?" Barry asked, looking concerned.

"I'm fine", I snapped, attempting to walk past him.

I was about to walk out the school gates until something stopped me. I turned around and went back to Barry.

"Hey, do you know where Steve-O is by any chance?" I asked.

"At the docks. He said he was going there to find something", Barry shrugged, "Why?"

"Just curious", I said before walking off again.

"Gabriella, don't do anything you'll regret. He's a dangerous guy", Barry called after me, "And there's no chance you're going on your own".

Barry ran up to me.

"Look, Barry, I'm just going to have to do this without you, okay?" I snapped.

I didn't allow him to say anything because I quickly resumed walking off.

I walked all the way to the docks to try and find that pathetic excuse of a human being. I was so angry at him for what he did to Dynasty.

I walked into the building of the docks.

"Steve-O?" I called out, "You might as well come out now".

There was no reply.

"Steve-O!" I shouted louder, "We need to talk. I'm Gabriella Wark, a friend of Dynasty's".

At the mention of Dynasty's name, I saw Steve-O come running out to me.

"Hey!" He smiled casually, "How's it going?"

"Not too good", I shook my head.

"Why?" He pouted.

"Well..." I began, "You see, I just found out that a very good friend of mine was raped".

"Oh, yeah? Who might that be?" Steve-O took a step closer to me so that our faces were inches apart.

"I think you know", I glared.

"Oh, do I now?" Steve-O squinted at me, "Look, I'm a busy man. Can you just say what you wanna say and we'll be done, yeah?"

"No", I straight out said, "We won't be done, actually. I'm telling you now- stay away from Dynasty. She doesn't want to be with you. Do you understand?"

"What makes you think she don't wanna be with me?" Steve-O asked innocently.

"Because you forced he into sex", I answered, "Awh, don't you remember? Trying to cover it all up?"

"I have no idea what you're talking about", Steve-O shrugged.

"She told us!" I argued, "She told me and Imogen AND the headteacher of Waterloo Road".

"You've lost it", Steve-O said.

"The only thing I'm going to lose is my temper if you don't leave her alone", I said through gritted teeth, "She doesn't like you. She never did. She doesn't want to-"

Steve-O cut me off by punching me right in the face. I screamed out in pain as I fell to the ground. I touched my cheek and saw bright, red blood on my hand. I gasped in horror. I tried to get up but Steve-O kicked my ankle really hard and I clutched it with tears forming in my sore eyes.

"You gonna shut up now or what?" Steve-O raised his voice.

I swallowed the huge lump in my throat before speaking. I wasn't backing down.

"No", I shook my head.

"Suit yourself", Steve-O shrugged.

He grabbed my collar of my blouse and yanked me up. Him pulling my collar practically strangled my neck for a while. He shot me a big glare before smashing me into the brick wall behind me. He thrusted his arm against my neck so that I could not move. I breathed heavily and stared at him.

"I'm going to ask you one more time", Steve-O threatened, "Shut up and live or speak up and die? Which one is it gonna be?"

I panted and caught my breath so that I could answer his question.

"I'm standing by my friend", I revealed bravely.

Steve-O smirked at me for a while. He grabbed my shoulders and pushed me on the floor again.

I felt so damaged. I couldn't even move. I knew there was no point trying anymore because my head was going all dizzy. This was it...

Steve-O stood back and went to pull something out of his jacket. My eyes went wide when I saw what it was.

A gun...

"I admire you for sticking up for your friends", Steve-O said, "Unfortunately, you messed with the wrong guy. It's a pity you won't be able to live to see Dynasty's appreciation".

He held out the gun so it was aimed at my face. I saw his finger rest on the trigger.

"Bye, Gabriella", Steve-O smirked.

It was very dark in the room as it was night by now. I could barely see Steve-O, just a shadowy figure.

Just as I thought Steve-O was about to shoot me, I saw a silhouette run through the door and push Steve-O on the ground. They wrestled on the ground for ages until the police cars arrived.

The only question I wanted to know the answer to is- Who just saved my life?

I knew it was either Hector or Barry as they were the only two people who knew about my dramatic exit out of Waterloo Road this evening.

Who was it?
