Gabi stood still in shock. The man looked guilty as if he never meant to do it. His eyes softened as he saw the young woman "i'm. I'm sorry, it wasn't meant to be like this" he said and he ran of down the hallway
Gabi looked down and saw her white skater dress with a large blood stain getting bigger by the second. Her lower abdomen now had a small bullet hole in it. She wasn't in pain though. Her adrenaline rushing through her body numbed the pain. She held her shaking hand on the bullet wound to try and slow down the bleeding but nothing was working. Her legs slowly gave way and she was lent up a locker and slid down it. Breathing heavily she wasn't sure what to do. Her phone was in Taylor's bag. Her adrenaline wore off by now and the pain was crippling. She tried shouting or even talking for help but she couldn't, her breathing was becoming very difficult.
Troy was pacing in the gym. Everyone was on the stands and it was almost silent in there. Sharpay was demanding to go out and look for Gabi but no one was allowing it and it was making troy go mental over it. The police were called and they were outside the building but weren't going to enter the school until they knew it was safe.
"Okay, i need to look for Gabi, any idea on getting me out of here?" Troy questioned his friends as his parents were talking to the principal.
"We need a distraction" chad suggested
"I could fake a panic attack? Make a huge scene, and you can sneak out?" sharpay suggested. Taylor nodded liking the idea.
"Okay well do that" Troy said rubbing his hands through his hair in stress. "Hey, she'll be okay, she is probably just hiding in the toilet stalls" Kelsi saying rubbing Troy's arm.
After a couple of minutes, sharpay started to fake her panic attack. Apparently she does them all the time to get her own way. She sped up her breathing and walked into the middle of the gym where Chad Zeke Taylor and Kelsi all made a fuss allowing Troy to slip away.
After Troy left the gym. He walked towards the nearest girls bathrooms and saw no sign of Gabi.
"Gabs?" he whispered in case there was a gunman still walking around
"Brie?"
He walked out the bathroom and searched a different corner. He heart sunk. He saw the girl he loved on the floor, head leaning on the locker and she looked lifeless. He ran over to her and saw her pale figure lying there alongside a pool of blood. He kneeled down next to her and placed two fingers on her neck feeling for a pulse. Hoping she was alive. A faint movement under his finger tips gave him hope. A faint pulse was still better than no pulse.
Troy picked Gabriella up marriage style and headed towards the doorways to get to the parking lot.
"Stay with me brie" he whispered as he quickly walked down the hallway hoping he wouldn't run into the gunman. He opened the doors and the police had pulled up their guns pointing at troy. Paramedics took Gabriella away from him as he knelt on his knees hands in the air as he was a possible suspect. Troy watched the love of his life be taken into an ambulance and it broke him that she was now alone. He looked down at his jersey, hands and white shorts now covered in blood.
"I didn't see anyone inside sir" Troy said to the police officers.
"We need to take you back inside the gymnasium so we can keep everyone in one place" he informed troy.
"I need to see Gabriella sir, she is my girlfriend" Troy stressed
"I'm sorry but you're an witness and we need you for questioning and to make sure we check it was no one else in the gymnasium with you"
Jack looked around the gym after he realized Sharpay was okay. "Wheres Troy" he asked in an Panic tone making Lucille panic herself.
Chad spoke up "he went looking for Gabi"
"You know how dangerous that is!" Jack shouted causing everyone to stare at him.
The group bowed their heads knowing it was wrong but right at the same time.
The doors swung open and everyone stared at Troy and the police officer. Lucille ran up to Troy hugging him. "Troy you're so stupid" she moaned. "You could have got killed". She looked into her sun's eyes seeing pain before realizing he was covering in blood.
"Troy?" Chad questioned seeing his best friend in shock and covered in blood
Taylor started crying and Kelsi asked the question no one could come to ask "was Gabi shot?" Troy couldn't speak but he nodded. Sharpay joined Taylor is crying as Chads eyes watered.
"Is she okay" Zeke asked. Troy shrugged, tears falling down his face. "They took her away from me" he sobbed. The gymnasium was silent and everyone felt the groups pain. Even west high wanted to say something but knew it was the right time nor the right people to say something.
It was raining, the sky was dark, and it seemed appropriate. Troy stood in a black suit and held an white rose as he stood in front of his girlfriends casket being lowered into the ground. His eyes were puffy and bloodshot. He, along with Taylor, Sharpay, Chad, Kelsi and Zeke dropped the white rose they all held onto the wooden box. As people started to clear out, they all touched troys shoulder in sympathy. He stood there alone in front of the tombstone. 'Here likes Gabriella Montez, a loving Daughter, friend and student, now at rest'. Troy stood alone, rain soaking him and his suit but he didn't care; he just wanted Gabi back, to see her smile, hear her laugh and to get lost into her chestnut brown eyes. He would give anything to kiss her lips on last time or hold her in hid arms.
"Troy" a voice called. "Troy?" they repeated again
"Troy" a nurse said tapping troy's shoulder. His bloodshot eyes darted open.
"She's asking for you"
'It was just a dream. Thank god it was dream' he thought. He darted out of his chair and ran into her room.
"Hey wildcat" she smiled
