Chapter 4

Its 1 week after Gabriella moved in with Chris and Troy wakes to the sound of the TV in is apartment.

He gets up and crosses to the door leading to the lounge to see Gabriella in front of the TV do her exercise DVD again.

He studies her while he is unnoticed her body clad in a crop top and short shorts with her hair pulled back into a ponytail but what he notices must is he can see Gabriella's ribs, spine and hips jutting out alarmingly.

"Want some breakfast?" asks Troy

Gabriella jumps on the spot sways a little and turns to Troy.

"I already ate" says Gabriella

"Chris kick you out?" asks Troy

"He said he was sick of hearing this DVD for the 60th time in the last 6 days" says Gabriella

"60th" says Troy

"Yeah I've been doing this all week" says Gabriella

"Brie that's a bit obsessive isn't it" says Troy as he puts some bacon on to cook and goes over to Gabriella.

"No" says Gabriella still doing the DVD.

"How many times have you done it this morning" says Troy

"About 5 times" says Gabriella

"So you have done it 10 times each day" says Troy

"Yeah" says Gabriella

Troy sees the DVD finish and turns the TV off.

"HEY" exclaims Gabriella

Troy kisses her.

"You taste of vomit" says Troy

"I don't" says Gabriella

"How much do you weigh" says Troy

"5 stone" says Gabriella

"Gabriella I think you have anorexia" says Troy

"I don't" says Gabriella going to the DVD again.

Troy swings her away from the TV and into the kitchen.

"Eww that smells sick" says Gabriella

"Have some fruit" says Troy

"I'm not hungry" says Gabriella

Her stomach then betrays her and growls loudly

Troy raises his eyebrows at her.

She turns and starts walking out of the apartment when her legs betray her and she stumbles and falls on the fall clutching her stomach.

Troy goes and picks her up and sits on the couch with her.

"Gabs why are you doing this" says Troy

"I'm fat" says Gabriella

"You are skin and bones" says Troy

"I'm not leave me alone" says Gabriella and she runs out.

1 week later.

Gabriella falls down some stairs and lands heavily on her shoulder and hurts it what she doesn't realize she has dislocated it. It hurts a bit during the day and she finds she cannot do anything without a little pain but carries on as normal. But when she tries taking her hoodie off that night her shoulder starts killing and she has to go next door to Troy for help.

She knocks on the door with her good arm holding her sore arm against her to prevent it from getting knock.

"What's up hurt your shoulder or something?" asks Troy

"Hi to you to" says Gabriella

Troy just stands there.

"Can I come in?" asks Gabriella

"Why?" asks Troy

"Forget it if your going to like that" says Gabriella turning away and trying to pull the hoodies of using her good and injured arm which results in a surge of pain though her injured shoulder and her suddenly grabbing it and creating more pain.

She feels Troy gently pick her up and carry her into his apartment and shut the door.

With great care Troy get the hoodie off and then proceeds to look at her arm.

He pulls the hoodies back of her head leaving it covering her arm.

"Come on I'll drive you to the emergency room" says Troy

"Why?" asks Gabriella

"Brie you've I think you've dislocated your shoulder" says Troy

"We need Chris to sign papers" says Gabriella

"Brie your 18 you have to sign them yourself" says Troy

Gabriella nods and follows Troy out of the apartment.

In the car.

"Troy about last week-"

"We'll talk about it later" says Troy

Gabriella nods.

As they enter the emergency room.

"Bolton your not on tonight" says Doctor Gilbert

"I think my girlfriend has dislocated her shoulder" says Troy

"Follow me let's go get you x rayed Miss-"

"Montez" says Gabriella

Troy and Gabriella follow Doctor Gilbert to the x ray room.

About half an hour later.

"Miss Montez you have indeed have a dislocated your shoulder and by the looks of it severely underweight" says Doctor Gilbert

"I'm 4 stone" says Gabriella

"That is severely underweight I'm going to have to check you into the hospital after your shoulder has been relocated" says Doctor Gilbert

"I'm going phoning your brother" says Troy

"No he'll kill me" says Gabriella

"Brie he won't he'll be worried about your. Your living with him he deserves to know" says Troy

"I want you to stay with me" says Gabriella

"I can have a nurse phone her brother" says Doctor Gilbert

"Thanks" says Troy

After Doctor Gilbert has left the room Gabriella bursts into tears.

Troy gently pulls her to him.

"Does it hurt?" he asks

"No I'm just sorry I've put your though this" says Gabriella

"Brie I'm your boyfriend we'll go though stuff like this it's no big deal" says Troy

"Chris is going to find out" says Gabriella

"We'll cross that bridge when we come to it" says Troy

Gabriella gets a light ache in her stomach and lower back.

"I need the toilet" says Gabriella

"You'll have to wait" says Troy

"Troy" says Gabriella

"Though that door" says Troy

Gabriella goes to the toilet and her suspicions are confirmed. She leaves the toilet unsure of what to do.

"Brie you ok" says Troy

"I um yeah got period" says Gabriella

"Oh" says Troy

"I don't have anything" says Gabriella

"Oh I'll go speak to a nurse when Doctor Gilbert comes back" says Troy

"I'm so relived" says Gabriella

"Why?" asks Troy

"Its 3 weeks late" says Gabriella

"Brie you wouldn't of been pregnant unless there was something your aren't telling me" says Troy

"Hey I am faithful" says Gabriella

"Glad to hear it" says Troy

Chris comes in.

"Gabriella what is going on" says Chris

A nurse comes in.

"Hey Troy" says the nurses

Gabriella possessively puts her arm though Troy's and pulls her closer to him.

"She has anorexia and a dislocated shoulder" says Troy

"And is crying" says Chris

Troy turns to looks at her.

"Hey what's up" says Troy

"She's pretty" says Gabriella

"So you're gorgeous" says Troy

Gabriella smiles.

"I'm not going to leave you" says Troy

"Bolton you're going to do this procedure" says Doctor Gilbert coming back in the room

"I'm not working sir" says Troy

"Doesn't matter" says Doctor Gilbert

"Go get your scrubs on" he adds

Troy goes and gets his scrubs on.

Gabriella is put under general anesthetic and her shoulder popped back in place.

Half an hour later Troy (no longer in his scrubs), Chris and Gabriella are sat in Doctor Gilbert's office.

"Gabriella I want to see you back here in 2 weeks having gained 3 stone" says Doctor Gilbert

Gabriella nods.

In the car on the way home Chris lectures Gabriella and when they get to the apartment.

"Thanks man" says Chris

"No problem" says Troy

"About that nurse in the hospital why did you do that Gabs" says Chris

Troy and Gabriella look at each other and then look at Chris.

"Troy had told me in the past he didn't like her so I was conveying the idea to her that we were together" says Gabriella

"But your not together are you?" asks Chris

"Course not" says Troy

"Ok. Listen Troy I want Gabriella in to move in with you for the next 2 weeks since your the doctor and notice this before and you'll be able to look after her and make sure she is gaining weight but don't make a move on her" says Chris

"Sure" says Troy

Gabriella goes and grabs her things she will need on a daily basis, her toiletries, clothes and laptop and goes into Troy's apartment.

"You were jealous of Christina" says Troy

"I was telling her you were taken" says Gabriella

"Right" says Troy

"Ok I was jealous" says Gabriella

"You don't need to be jealous I won't leave you ever" says Troy

Gabriella smiles and Troy kisses her.
