Coming For You
Dislaimer: I think I forgot one last chapter - whatever, I don't own HSM and everyone knows that.
A/N First I'm going to say thanks to everyone who reviewed last chapter... there were some pretty fucking amazing reviews. And also thanks to those who put this on their favourites/story alerts - I'd love to hear from you so please review as well
Now onto the bad news - I'm sorry this is so late but I had a pretty good reason. My memory stick decided to get all fucking annoying and malfunction deleting several files and messing up others. I was incredibly pissed off and borderline tears - I'd ended up also losing quite a bit of work. Because of that, a general feeling of lowness I'm going through right now, my fucking GCSE's starting on 12th May which really isn't that much of time and the fact that I haven't done nearly as much revision as I should have - I'm not entirely too sure when the next chapter is going to come out. I wanted to give this to you even though I haven't nowhere near finished the next chapter (I've currently got two ideas for it and I can't seem to make up my mind which one I want to go for - and then I'd have to plan out who that idea is going to work out) I know I left everyone on a cliffhanger...so I wanted to let you all know what happened.
Please review because reviews make me happy and you want me happy. Otherwise if I end up depressed I'll go and cause havoc to the story (example: Our Only Hope - I killed everyone there). I'm not sure how this will end yet - but I'm hoping I'll write it when I'm feeling happy.
Please pay attention to the dates - if you don't - don't tell me that you couldn't understand what was happening and you kept getting confused about the time jumps - the dates are there, as well as the fucking times. Don't skim them over and then expect to fully comprehend what is going on...you might be able to. But if you don't then don't say I didn't warn you.
And sorry I sound like an insane bitch - I'm pissed at my missing work and for all the above reasons ^^^

It was the dead of the night, yet Troy was awake, standing on Gabriella's balcony. There was a large gap in the curtains and Troy could see her sleeping on her bed.
He knew he shouldn't be there. But he had no choice. She was his relief. She was what he needed. He wanted to give her a happy life.
But she was anything but happy. Troy knew her better than he knew himself – and he could see that even though she put on a wonderful façade for everyone else, she was in pain. She was hurting because of him.
And he wanted to make it better – he wanted to come back to her and promise her that everything would be ok.
But first he needed to get clean. He needed to make sure that he wouldn't hurt her again.
And he needed the money to check himself into rehab. He didn't want to go home and meekly accept help from his father – he wanted to do it himself, make Gabriella proud of him.
But he didn't have enough money to do that – and he wanted money now. He needed Gabriella as soon as possible. And he would do it.
A plan started to formulate in his head. He knew it would be risky and life-threatening, but his need for Gabriella made him carry on with his planning.
He was going to come home to Gabriella.

Gabriella opened the door, surprised to see Jack Bolton there. He looked terrible, his hair messy, his eyes red and he was in sweats.
"What's wrong Jack?" Gabriella asked opening the door to let him in. Jack refused.
"I just think you should know Gabi – Troy's in hospital. He was shot. They've done surgery on him and it looks like he's going to be ok. He was shot a few days ago but it took a while for them to track me down as his father. He had no id on him at the time."
Gabriella nodded trying to keep her composure.
"Are you going to see him then?" She asked hesitantly
"Yes – he's still in New Mexico. He didn't travel too far…" Gabriella nodded. She had assumed that he wouldn't have – she knew that he was still sometimes watching her. Sometimes she'd catch sight of him but she didn't say anything.
"I was wondering if you would like to come Gabriella – I'm just giving you the option just in case you would like to-"
"Yes! Yes! Let me just grab my bag. I'll take my car as well – I'll follow you" Gabriella left the door open and rushed upstairs to grab her handbag and put on her shoes. Then she quickly ran down the stairs and into the hallway. Jack stepped away from the door and made his way to his car, Gabriella following as she slammed the door behind her and went to sit in her own car, reversing out of the drive and following Jack.

He sat down on the pavement, his back leaning against the wall. Troy was alone and in an alleyway, his mind trying to figure out he was going to go ahead with his plan.
He thought over the past few months and what agony it had been without Gabriella. Having grown up together, he was not used to being without her.
And he didn't like the feeling. Troy knew that he needed to be clean before he tried to win her back. He needed to make her proud.

They arrived at Holy Cross Hospital in Taos after roughly two and a half hours driving. After parking their cars, Jack and Gabriella walked into the hospital.
Eventually they were shown to Troy's room.
"You go first Jack" Gabriella said, taking a seat outside the room
"Are you sure?" Jack asked
"Yes – I just need some time to prepare myself." Jack nodded understand, before turning the handle and walking into Troy's room.
Gabriella closed her eyes, leaning her head against the wall and breathing deeply. She was going to see Troy. Troy. Troy.
She hadn't seen him since that day when she'd told him to never come back. Would he want to see her?
Before Gabriella could let panic set in, the door opened and Jack walked out.
"As soon as I mentioned that I brought you with me he didn't want to talk to me anymore. He wants to see you Gabi." Gabriella nodded, standing up and trying to make sure she stopped shaking.
She opened the door and walked inside the hospital room. Immediately her eyes found Troy who was half sitting half lying on the bed, his head resting on a couple of pillows. He was hooked to various different machines and he looked a lot paler since she had seen him last.
"Brie…" his whispered nickname for her caused her stomach to flutter and she stepped closer to his bed. He held his hand out for her and she slowly placed her hand in his.
"I didn't want to see you yet – I, I wanted to get myself… better before I saw you."
Confused Gabriella asked him what he meant.
"I wanted to get myself clean before I tried to – well win you back I guess. I made mistakes… and I fucked everything up. So I wanted to make you proud of me. I love you Brie and I wanted to prove myself.
"I needed money to get myself into any sort of clinic. But my idea backfired and I ended up getting shot – but Brie. I'll do it. I promise I'll try and get myself fixed. I love you so much more than all that shit"
Gabriella's head was spinning. He had done all this for her. And he wanted her back. She couldn't breathe and she quickly ripped her hand from Troy's and ran out of the room. As she ran past Jack he called after her but she quickly ran out of the hospital and towards her own car.
Everything was happening and it was overwhelming her. She needed to think. She needed to sort everything out.
After everything she'd been through with Troy, she just wasn't ready.

Gabriella pulled up in the parking lot. Stepping out of the car she grabbed her bags and locked the door behind her. Walking into the motel she walked up to the front desk.
"You got a room?" She asked

She had left him. She didn't want him anymore. Troy sat in a daze going over the moment his Gabriella had ripped her hand from his and ran out of his room.
He knew that she wouldn't want him. Why would she after he hurt her so much. He was cruel to her. Her words she had said to him that night replayed back in his mind.
You make me feel like I'm just some whore who you can come and fuck whenever you're feeling horny
But that's not how it was. He never meant for her to feel that way. He never meant to make her feel that way. He had wanted to be with her. Take some time away from wandering the streets, sleeping in his car or in a lousy motel to be with her. He was barely surviving and he needed her.
He wished he never left. Wished he accepted his fathers help when he had the chance. Wished that he didn't mess up his junior year of high school. He hadn't thought it through when he'd decided to just leave. He'd left in a fit of rage, not thinking clearly. And he felt too worthless to come back without making himself better.
He'd been gone for more than 3 months – and because of his own stupidity he'd messed up everything good in his life.

She'd been doing nothing. Except of course for thinking.
Troy wanted her back. He wanted her and she wasn't sure what she wanted. If she was honest with herself – yes, she did want him. But she wanted him how he used to be. She wanted the Troy she originally fell in love with. She wanted the Troy who was her best friend.
She didn't want the Troy who had hurt her. And she wasn't sure whether or not Troy understood this. He had hurt her so much the past few months – and she'd be damned is she just let him waltz back into her life and let him hurt her again and again.
She needed to talk to him. Lay down what she expected from him. What she needed from him. What she wanted from him. What he needed to do.
And it would be up to him – she'd already been there for him. She'd tried and tried to help him.
Now it was his turn to help himself.

Troy was back home. The bullet hadn't done that much of damage to him – the ambulance had got to him in time and the bullet had missed his vital organs. He was officially on bed rest back at his house in Albuquerque.
He had a long talk with his father – a talk which included how he was going to have to repeat his junior year which would mean that he would be a year behind every one of his friends. A year behind Gabriella. He was going to be in rehab first to ensure he conquered his addiction.
He was going to try and get better – and this time he was going to accept the help of those around him.
As Troy flipped through the channels on the TV bored, the door opened and he dropped his remote in shock. He recognised those brunette curls.
And as the person turned around Troy sat up.
Gabriella was back. And she was in his room. And now he needed to win her back.
A/N Again... not sure when the next chapter will be out but hopefully it'll be sometime soon.
