Chapter7

Gabriella settled herself back into her apartment and as soon as her bags were unpacked, she called Lila to tell her all about the weekend and how it went.

Lila answered right away. “Where are you?” she asked anxiously.

“I’m home. It’s been crazy, though. I have a lot to tell you.” She sighed. Confusion had been tangling her every thought and emotion since she left Antonio at the bus station. She had loved being with him, but the further away she got from him, the more she wondered just what it was she was doing and what it was going to cost her.

“What’s going on?” Lila sounded worried.

Gabriella sighed. “Well, you know I texted you that Julian was taking me up to Bear Lake to do a photo shoot this weekend, and that I thought I was finally going to get the cover, right?”

“Yeah…” She sounded uncertain.

“Well, we got up there and I found out that he had been lying. There was no photo shoot. He just wanted to get me out of town to a remote place where he could try to make me sleep with him.” Gabriella explained, ire growing in her as she recounted it to her friend.

“He did not!” Lila gasped in horror.

“He did,” Gabriella confirmed. “He laid it all out on the line.” She thought of the words he used. “He said that I had to sleep with him or he was going to fire me and wreck my career. He said that… just like that. Plain as anything.” She felt nauseated repeating it.

Lila was appalled. “What? That son of a—”

Gabriella cut her off. “There’s a lot more.”

“More?” Lila was astounded.

“Yeah.” Gabriella’s mind went back to her fight with Julian in the library. “He demanded that I sleep with him and when I wouldn’t do it, he got angry and took off out of the house. The trouble is, he had downed most of a bottle of Jack Daniels by that point and I was upstairs in my room so I didn’t know he was leaving until he was already peeling out of the driveway and down the hill. I couldn’t stop him.

Next thing I know, there are two highway patrol officers standing at the door and they are telling me that he wrecked his car and wound up in the hospital. He was going to be okay, but he got really banged up.”

“Oh no…” Lila, like Gabriella, didn’t like Julian at all, but she didn’t want to see him hurt, either.

“So I called Antonio and told him about his brother’s accident and he came straight up from Los Angeles and met me at the house. He picked me up and took me with him to the hospital and we checked on his brother. The doctors put him in a medially induced coma until he had healed a little more, so there was nothing there that we could do.

We stayed a little while and then we went back to the house. It was wonderful to be there with him, but I wish it had been under different circumstances.
