A/N: In answer to your question, this sort of is, but sort of isn't named after the Veronica's song 'Heavily Broken'. I was thinking of a title, and after a while I was like 'Yeah, Heavily Broken sounds like a good title…wait, haven't I heard that somewhere before?'. So I looked through my music folder and found the song by The Veronicas and I decided that it was still a good title, and the song was even kind of fitting.

I should point out that this is just a filler chapter for while I write the next one, hence why it's rather short and insignificant. Also, special thanks to everyone who reviewed, especially lol925, for giving me some great ideas about where I could take this story.

Chapter 3 – Paramedics

HSMHSM

"I'm sorry son, but you're going to have to move away and let us do our job," said one of the paramedics, as he gently but firmly pushed Troy out of the way.

"What? Oh, yeah. Sorry," Troy muttered, feeling very dazed and surreal. How had this all happened? One minute his life couldn't be better, the next everything was falling apart.

He was about to put his head in his hands when he noticed they were drenched in blood. Her blood. Troy began to shiver uncontrollably.

"Pulse is thready, BP is dropping steadily- hey, someone give that kid some help!" cried the paramedic who had pushed Troy out of the way before, and who was now tending to Gabriella.

One of the others, a female paramedic, rushed over to Troy with a warm blanket.

"Shh, it's ok. What's your name?" she said soothingly.

"Troy. My name's Troy Bolton."

"Alright Troy. Can you tell me what happened, honey?" she asked.

"She's been shot," The paramedics exchanged glances. "She said she walked past a young guy who was mugging someone, and he got spooked and shot her."

"We're going to have to get her into surgery," the male paramedic said to the lady tending to Troy, before calling out to the remaining two paramedics to hurry up with the stretcher.

"Thankyou Troy. We're going to do everything we can to help. We're just going to put…"

"Gabriella," Troy supplied.

"Thanks. We're just going to put Gabriella onto a gurney, then we'll put her in the back of the ambulance and take her to the hospital as quickly as possible. Would you like to ride in the back with her?"

"Yeah. Thanks."

"Alright. When we get to the hospital there's going to be a lot of people waiting. They're going to take Gabriella away for a while, but they're going to do everything they can to help her. Ok, Troy?" Troy nodded. "Alright, time to go."

Troy looked up. As the lady had explained to him what was going to happen, her three colleagues had successfully loaded Gabriella into the back of the ambulance and hooked her up to several machines.

The lady helped troy into the ambulance, then jumped in behind him and shut the doors. Then the sirens were on, and they were on their way to the hospital…

A/N: And remember, this is just a filler. Hopefully, if everything goes well, I should have the next chapter up in a few hours. Love you all! Thankyou for reading this story, and please leave a review! ;-D
