Chapter 4: True Love
Still Gabriella's POV:
The hospital was a mad house. Crash victims everywhere, bleeding, screaming in pain. "Gabs," Dr. McKessie said, "Yes Dr?" I said, "There is a patient in bed 56 that needs to go to X-ray, take him there and wait for the results," she said, "Yes Dr," I said. I walked into room 56, and saw a familiar face, "Hi you," Troy said, "OMG, what are you doing here Troy?" I asked, "I was driving home after our date and I was so happy, I guess I wasn't paying attention, and I slammed into a big accident that happened, and well, here I am," he said, "Well, at least you're ok," I said, "True, but I got to see you sooner," he smiled, "Funny Mr. Bolton" I said, "I try," he said, "Ok. Let's get you to x-ray and see if you have any broken bones," I said, "Yes nurse," he said.
Troy's POV:
I'll admit, I hate hospitals, but at least I got to see Brie sooner than expected. I was in the x-ray machine for a while, then Brie came to take me back to the ER I guess, "Ok Troy, ready for the good news or bad new?" she said, "The bad new first please," I said, "Your left leg is only slightly broken, so I think you'll have to be off of it for a few weeks while it heals," she said, "And the good news?" I asked, "You got to see me sooner than we expected," she said while she laughed. As we took the elevator back down to the ER, I kept looking at Brie, even though she had been working in the ER that night, she still looked amazingly beautiful. "Brie?" I said, "Yeah," she said, "Thank you for being here, I mean, not as a nurse, but as more than that," I said, "You're welcome," she said, "Brie, can I tell you something?" I asked as she wheeled my back into my space in the ER, "Sure. You can always tell me anything," she said, "Well Brie. As I was laying in the accident, I was in pain, but you came to my mind, and suddenly the pain stopped, and I was calm, and peaceful," I told her, "Really?" she asked, "Yes. The truth is that I," I hesitated, "You what Troy?" she asked, "I'm in love with you Brie," I said, "Troy, I" she said when I cut her off, "I know it might seem sudden seeing how we've just barely began, but I know how I feel. If you need some time to figure it out, then I will give you that time to decide," I told her, "Thank you," she said, then the Dr came in, "Mr Bolton. It seems you have a slight break in your left leg. You'll have to stay off it for a few weeks, and rest," the Dr said, "Ok. I will," I told her, "Do you have someone to come pick you up?" she said, "No, but I can take a cab home," I told her, "Ok. Here's a prescription for some pain killers in case you need them. Take care," she said as she walked out, then Brie spoke up again, "A cab Troy?" "Yeah. I'll be fine," I said, "Nonsense. You're coming home with me. That way I can make sure you're getting better," she said, "Ok. I know better than to argue with a beautiful woman," I said as I smiled. Brie went off to check if they still needed her for anything, while she was gone, another nurse came in, "Mr Bolton. I'm nurse Kelsi. I'm here to put your leg in the cast," she said, "Ok. Cast away," I said making jokes.
Gabriella's POV:
I left Troy to go see where else I was needed. "Gabs?" Dr. McKessie said, "Yes Dr.?" I asked, "We're off the clock. You can call me Tay. I am your best friend after all," she said, "Yeah Tay?" I said, "So was that the guy you had the date with?" she asked, "Yeah," I said, "Wow. Beautiful eyes," she said, "I know right. He also just told me something," I said, "What?" she asked, "He told me that he's in love with me," I said, "Wow. Well, how do you feel about him?" she asked, "I think I love him too," I said, "You think or do you know 100% for sure that you love him?" she asked, "I know I love him," I said, "Then you should tell him," she said, "I will," I said, "Ok. I got to go, but call me later. I want details," she said as we both laughed.
I walked back to Troy's room as nurse Kelsi was finishing up, "Hi Wildcat," I said, "Hi there," he said, "Ready to go home? I asked, "Yeah. Ready to get out of here. Way too many healthy people here" he joked as I laughed. I wheeled Troy down to where my car was parked, helped him in, and put his crutches in the back seat, then go in the driver's side and headed home.
I parked the car in the driveway, and helped Troy into the house. He made himself comfortable on the couch while I went to take a shower. I turned on the shower and stepped in. The hot water felt good after a long night at the ER. After I got out and dressed in my pajamas, I went to the living room to see Troy flipping channels, "How you doing?" I asked, "I'm ok. Little uncomfortable with this cast on, but I'll manage," he said, "You need anything?" I asked, "Yeah. Some company would be nice," he said padding the couch space next to him, "Ok. What are we watching?" I asked, "Nothing right now. Just flipping to see what's on," he said. I kept thinking about what he told me in the ER…
Flashback
"Yes. The truth is that I," I hesitated, "You what Troy?" she asked, "I'm in love with you Brie," I said, "Troy, I" she said when I cut her off, "I know it might seem sudden seeing how we've just barely began, but I know how I feel. If you need some time to figure it out, then I will give you that time to decide,"
End of Flashback
"Troy?" I asked, "Yeah," he said, "I need to tell you something," I said, "Ok," he said, "Troy Bolton. I love you too. I know it's crazy because we just met a few days ago, but when you know in your heart that something or someone is ment to be, then you want to take the leap of faith, and see where it takes you," then he kissed me, not the kind of kiss like the sweet kind, more like a kiss ment for lovers, full of passion, heat and romance. We broke the kiss to come up for air, "Troy?" I asked, "Yeah?" he said, "Do you want to go upstairs?" I asked nervously, "Are you sure?" he asked, "I'm sure," I said, then we headed upstairs.
We undressed each other, "How are going to 'you know' when I have a cast on?" he asked, "Don't worry. I'll handle it," I said as I kissed him, then I pushed him down on the bed and got on top of him, kissing his chest, then we made love, but being careful to not hurt his leg. "OMG Brie. That was amazing," he said, "I enjoyed it as well," I said, then we fell asleep in each other's arms.
