Author's Note: Hey guys what's up? Thank you ssssoooooooooooo much for all your comments. You all seem to like it so if you're happy, I'm happy. I took up one reviewer's idea of showing Troy's POV in this story. So I replaced song lyrics with his POV. After all, there had only been song lyrics in the first chapter. Anyway, Troy's POV is in this chpater, not a lot, but enough. I worked really hard on this chapter and it took me forever so I hope yu like it! R&R! Who Knew?
Chapter 4
No One's POV/ Gabriella's POV/ Troy's POV
Troy lay on the hospital bed staring at the ceiling. Chad had gone to go get a soda while everyone else left leaving him alone. He was overcome with shock.
Why, oh why did Gabriella have to be my doctor? Does the world hate me that much? It's bad enough it's punishing me with a broken leg but to have Gabriella treat me? I mean, sure. I regret breaking up with her. I shouldn't have followed Chad's example and broke up with her, just because I didn't think it would last long distant. God, you are so stupid, Troy!
Troy hits his head against his pillow and sees Chad coming back carrying his soda.
"Hey, feeling better?" Chad sits down in the chair beside the bed.
"Honestly, I've never felt worse. And that's without the stupid leg."
Troy looks around the ward and still sees some patients watching him like hawks.
"Hey Chad, could you close the curtain for me? "
"Sure" Chad gets up and drapes the hospital curtain around the bed, giving them some privacy from everyone else. Chad sits back down. He smiles.
"It's the curse of being famous, you're constantly on display."
"Yeah," Troy looks back up at the ceiling.
"So, what's it like having your ex as your doctor?" Chad smirks at his friend's predicament. Troy shoots evil looks at him.
"What? I couldn't say she's your ex in front of everyone else. And I know that was one hell of a break-up but you have to admit it. It's kinda funny." Chad opens his soda.
"I'm in hell Chad. I mean, yeah. I'm glad to see her again after all these years. She looks great, don't ya think?" Chad shrugs. Troy continues.
"And I don't blame her for being mad at me. But I always hoped the next time I'd see her she would have forgiven me."
"Look man, women hold grudges. Especially against ex-boyfriends. You're just going to have to deal with it"
"How would you like it if you were in my position and Taylor was somehow your doctor?"
"Well the last time I checked, she wanted to become a scientist and she was dead on it so I doubt she would have changed her mind."
"Doesn't mean it might not have happened."
"Whatever. If she really was my doctor, I think I would rather have my last four girlfriends fused into one person and be my doctor. Scratch that, I'd rather have Miss Darbus as my doctor. Then she would give me a lecture on why I pursued a career in "hockey" and how it has become my downfall in life, hence why I would be lying in hospital with a broken leg."
"And yet, you'd still be happy to see Taylor" Troy smiles.
Chad narrows his eyes, then shrugs taking a sip of his soda.
Gabriella stuffed Drake's number on her pocket. He was the fourth guy to give her his number today, two of which had been Troy's basketball friends. She smiled. She had never felt so attractive. She looked at her watch. It had been two hours since her little introduction to Troy and everyone else. Perhaps it was time to pay him another visit.
She saunters into Ward 23 and looks in the corner. The curtain was drawn so Troy must have wanted some privacy. She walks over and, not caring about what was happening behind the curtain, silently, she quickly swipes it open to the surprise of Troy and Chad. Chad appeared to be sipping a soda at the time and the shock of Gabriella's appearance had made him choke, sending the mouthful of soda all over Troy.
"Oh so sorry to have startled you Mr Danforth. Let me just get someone to clean that up for you." She called in a nurse from outside while a rather wet Troy sent evil glares at Chad. The nurse hurried away to get tissues. Troy used this opportunity to apologise.
"Look Gabriella I'm sorry…."
"It's Doctor Montez to you."
Gabriella starts to write something on his chart. Troy looks at Chad who gives him an encouraging look.
"Look, I just wanted to tell you that…"
"You know, you remind me a lot of my ex-boyfriend. Yeah, Trey something. Anyway, he turned out to be a right bastard."
Gabriella looks up and looks at Chad.
Remember, you're to flirt with every male visitor he has. If it happens to be Chad then so be it. Come on, it won't be that bad.
Gabriella moves Chad out the way so she can write something on the board behind Troy's bed. She lightly grips his arm in the process.
"Wow, Mr Danforth. You're very…muscley."
Eeeeww. Okay, lets NOT flirt with Chad.
Gabriella immediately looks down as Chad has a bewildered look on his face. Yet Troy's face, she was happy to see, was practically fuming. Chad took this as his cue.
"Look Gabriella, I don't get what kind of game your playing…"
"Oh I'm not playing any game. I'm just doing my job."
"Okay, so messing us around is your job?"
"Well tell me exactly what I've done wrong."
Chad was about to say something when he realised he couldn't. Gabriella may be Troy's ex-girlfriend and she may be acting like she'd never met them but to be perfectly honest, when it came to her job as a doctor, she really hadn't done anything wrong.
"You…you have…you have yet to ask how Troy is feeling. Or his leg."
"Fine," She looks at Troy, "Troy," she looks at the leg, "Troy's leg, how are you both feeling?"
Troy gulped, "The leg is feeling better thank you. I, on the other hand, am feeling rather nauseas"
"Fine, Nurse?" As the nurse came in with tissues to clean up Troy, Gabriella noticed Chad take another sip of his soda. She took a chance.
"Nurse, once you're done with that we're going to need something to treat Mr Bolton's nausea. Can you please get Doctor McKessie to sort that out?"
Chad, once again, choked on his soda and completely soaked Troy.
"Dear, dear Mr Danforth. Bit messy, aren't we?"
Gabriella walked away leaving Troy smirking at Chad.
"Guess Taylor changed her mind, huh?"
"Shut up."
Jason walked along the hallway towards Taylor and Gabriella's flat. He had just finished work and had some interesting news. When he got to their door he rang the bell. He heard a faint "Door's open" from inside so he walked in. There he found Sharpay, Zeke, Kelsi and Ryan lying on the couches watching the TV and were surrounded my empty packets, wrappers and cans.
"Hey" Kelsi smiled at her boyfriend.
"Hey, where are Gabby and Taylor?"
"Work. Should be home soon," Ryan explained.
"So you lot have just been sitting around here all day watching TV and eating their food?"
"Why is that so hard for everyone to believe? Yes, we have, it's what we do. If anyone has a problem they should go sit, eat food and watch TV on someone else's couch." Ryan answered.
Jason laughed. "Well alright. Actually I have some interesting news."
"What?"
"Well I was going to wait until Tay and Gabby come home but we can tell them when we come back. I just saw it on the TV. Guess which arrogant basketball star has ended up at some hospital with a broken leg? I'll give you a hint, his name rhymes with Broy Tolton."
Kelsi raised an eyebrow. "Broy Tolton?"
"Well I'm sorry but nothing rhymes with his stupid name."
Shrapay smirked " So you just switched the first letters of his name?"
The group laughed as Jason sat down. "Hahaha very funny, I thought you lot would be interested." Jason pretended to sulk.
"No, no we are. So the idiot ended up breaking his leg huh?" Kelsi answered.
"Boy" Ryan replied. He received weird looks from the rest of them.
"What's that Ryan?" Zeke asked.
"Boy. Boy rhymes with Troy." He ended up with a few cushions thrown at him.
At that moment, Taylor and Gabriella came home from work, both linking arms and laughing.
"Well you lot have had a productive day." Taylor smiled at the group who, aside from Jason, were in the same positions as when she left that morning. "Anyway, we have some news"
"Us first" Sharpay said.
"Yeah, apparently a young cocky Mr Bolton has bust up his leg." Zeke announced.
Taylor looked at Gabriella who burst out laughing.
"We know." Gabriella said.
"You do?"
"Yep" Taylor put her bag on the coffee table. "We know because he happens to be a patient at St Joes. And it also happens to be that Gabriella is his doctor."
This statement was greeted with a mixture of "Oh my god!" and "What?". Gabriella smiled as they all had turned to look at her.
"Relax, I'm okay with it, thanks to Taylor," She shot her best friend a grateful look across the room "Plus, me and Tay managed to humiliate both Troy and a certain Mr Danforth."
"Well then a certain Miss Montez needs to spill the gossip." Sharpay declared.
"Well a certain lot of lazy bums need to scooch on the couch so she can sit down." Taylor retorted.
Both girls laughed as they saw the four of them move at the highest speed they'd moved all day. Gabriella and Taylor sat down and started to chat until Taylor noticed something.
"Hey, which one of you ate my tofu?
