A/N: I redid the chapter because I think that it all happened to fast, I also changed the day to Thursday, hope you like it.
Gabriella woke up hours later, but not in her own bed, in Sharpay's. She tried to sit up completely but she felt instant pain, and winced.
"She's up." Kelsi barely whispered
The three girls then climbed onto the bed to comfort Gabriella,
"This has to stop." Sharpay said
"You have to tell someone." Taylor continued
Gabriella slowly pushed herself up against the backboard of the bed,
"I can't, if I tell my mom, she will call the school, and then Troy and his friends will get in trouble and come after me more."
They all looked down, they knew she was right, but they knew that Gabriella couldn't go through this for the next two years.
"Do you guys know what time it is?" Gabriella asked
"Three thirty." Sharpay replied
"I think its time I head home, I don't want my mom to worry."
"Well before you go anywhere I think its best you take some of these." Sharpay said handing her two pain killers and a cup of water.

Gabriella got out of Sharpay's car, waved bye to her friends and headed towards her house. She then saw none other than Troy Bolton pulled up next door, she just stood there and stared at him, how could he do such horrible things, and go throughout the rest of his day perfectly fine? Troy finally looked up and saw Gabriella, he stopped in his tracks, and stared back at her. He looked deep into her eyes, he saw all the pain, all the hurt, and all the sorrow. He couldn't bare it; he finally looked away and walked into his house.
"I'm home mom." Gabriella said as she opened the door
"How was school?" she asked
"Fine." Gabriella lied; her day was far from fine
"Are you hungry honey, you skipped breakfast."
"I'm fine mom, I'm gonna go upstairs and finish my homework."
"Alright honey, dinner will be ready soon."

Gabriella didn't even make it to the bed before she broke down crying, thoughts raced through her mind, why me, she kept asking herself. She finally built up enough strength to lift herself up and walked into her bathroom. She lifted up her shirt to revel her stomach, she couldn't even bare to look. When she opened her eyes it was worse than she imagined, the whole bottom of her stomach and side where a dark shade of purple. She ran out of that bathroom as quickly as she could, how could I have let it gone this far, she thought. She held back more tears; she wanted to be stronger than she knew she was. She walked over to her closet and slipped on a pair of sweat pants, she pulled down her hair and just let it fall naturally .She then retreated to her balcony, and leaning next to her chair was her most prized position, her guitar.
I feel stranded
And I can't tell anyone
If I'm coming or I'm going
It's not how I planned it
I've got a key to the door
But it just won't open
And I know, I know, I know
Part of me says let it go
That life happens for a reason
I don't, I don't, I don't
Because it never worked before
But this time, this time
Gabriella felt a tear slip from her eye; it then slid of her cheek and fell onto the base of the guitar.
I'm gonna try anything to just feel better
Tell me what to do
You know I can't see through the haze around me
And I do anything to just feel better
Little did Gabriella know that she had an audience from across the yard, Troy stood there in awe, not only was her voice truly amazing, but when he listened to the lyrics it hit him hard.
I can't find my way
God ,I need a change
And I do anything to just feel better
Any little thing to just feel better
She then placed her guitar back in its usual spot; sitting there she tried to hold her complexion, but she couldn't, and for the third time that night, Gabriella broke now crying.
"God, I really need a change." Gabriella spoke out loud between sobs
