Pero sa kaso ni Gisselle na dalaga na, hindi niya matanggap na dinidisiplina siya ng isang pulis na hindi niya naman kilala. Ang nais niya lang naman ay magrebelde dahil sa sama ng loob niya sa sarili niyang ama na dating pulis, na aniya’y tila wala naman daw sa katuwiran, at abusado sa karapatan ng kababaihan. Naging party girl siya dahil sa mga barkada niya at sinasadyang magpa-late ng uwi upang inisin ang kaniyang ama. Pero ang hindi niya alam, iyon na pala ang huling beses na magagawa niya ang mga bagay na ’yon. Nahuli siya ng mga pulis sa kalsada nang hating-gabi, at naging buena manong curfew violator sa gabing iyon. Napatawan siya ng community service sa loob ng isang buwan. Naiinis siya sa tuwing nakakakita siya ng mga pulis, lalo na ang lalaking hindi niya inaasahang makikilala niya. Naiinis siya lalo dahil desidido itong palambutin ang ulo niya. Tahimik lamang itong lalaki pero walang sinoman ang kayang bumali sa mga salita nito.

Papaano niya kaya mapipigilan ang lalaki kung siya mismo ay hindi ito magawang mapaikot sa mga kamay niya?

Jackson steps in front of me, his strong hands cupping my face as he brings his forehead to mine. “I want to replace it. I want to take all your nightmares and turn them into something beautiful, the way you’ve done for me. I just need you to trust me. You think you can do that?” I was only looking at how he gently held me with his huge hands. Considering his bulk frame, I was like a fragile glass he was holding. I don't know why but my heart did skip a beat, but I had to swallow it up and pretend that I didn't feel it.
