Trouble

Normal POV

Chad Danforth sighed. Taylor McKessie hasn't woken up in a month and Gabriella Montez hasn't talked in that long.

Chad and Troy Bolton haven't left their girlfriends' sides since they brought them into the hospital. They haven't even been in school. Their friends have been bringing their homework and schoolwork home for them.

Chad stood up, kissed Taylor's forehead, and walked out of her room. It was twelve o'clock so Chad and Troy were the only one's there.

He stuck his head in Gabi's room. "I'm going for a walk," he told Troy. "I'll be back soon."

Troy nodded his head. "Okay."

Chad took the elevator to the ground floor and walked out of the hospital.

"Hey, Chad," he heard a gruff voice say. He knew this voice all too well.

"Get out of here," Chad said. "Don't you think you've done enough damage for one lifetime?"

"Nope, actually I don't."

"What do you want, Dad? Are you coming after me now? Oh, I'm so scared."

"Laugh now, Chad," Richard Danforth told his son. "But its not you I'm after. There's still one person I have to destroy before I come after you."

Richard Danforth left Chad standing there.

"One person left...?" Chad wondered. "Oh, no! Mom!"

Chad raced home and tore open the door so fast.

"Mom?!"

"In here, sweetie," Tracey Danforth called from the kitchen.

He raced in there and drew his mom into a hug.

"What's wrong, Chad?"

"You have to get out of here now, Mom! Dad is after you."

"What...?"

There was the sound of the door closing and Chad turned to his mom.

"Please, Ma!" Chad begged her. "I don't want to lose you too."

"Okay, honey," Mrs. Danforth said, going out the back way. "Be careful," she whispered.

"Where is she, Chad?"

"I don't know who you're talking about..." Chad fingered the knife in his hands.

"Don't give me this shit. You knew I was after your mother. Now where the hell is she?!"

"Stay away from my mother," Chad threatened, "or you'll be sleeping forever."

"You're gonna kill me?" Richard laughed. "That's rich." He held open his arms. "Go ahead, son. Kill me."

He pulled the knife out and put it up to Richard's neck. "Don't underestimate me, Dad. I'm a lot stronger than you think."

Richard turned away. "Fine," he said. "If you said to stay away from your mother. You didn't say anything about...Taylor."

In a flash, Richard was gone and Chad was racing after him. He tackled his father.

"Because of you, Taylor may never wake up and Gabi may never talk again. Because of you, I may lose the love of my life. You will not take her away from me."

"Make up your mind, Chad. Your mother...or your girlfriend?" Richard asked. "Tick, tock. Time's running out, Chad. You better make a decision, or I'm going to kill both of the women in your life..."

"Take me!" Chad yelled. "Kill me! Leave Taylor and Mom alone. Kill me."

Richard held his gun at eye-level. "Nah," he said, putting it away. "I'd much rather kill the women in your life. It'd be more satisfying to watch you twist and turn when you see your girlfriend get murdered. It'd be more satisfying to watch you gag over your mother's marked up body. That's why I wanna kill your girlfriend and mother, Chad." He pushed Chad off of him. "Now, if you excuse me, I have someone to murder."

He got up but Chad grabbed his arm.

"No, Dad," Chad said. He grabbed his knife and turned Richard around. "You've hurt enough people. I'm not going to let you murder anymore." He punched Richard in the face. "Stay away from them!"

Richard shook Chad free. "Aw, that's so sweet! You care for them." Richard punched Chad back. "You're dead, Chad, but first I have to take care of the pest problem."

He turned away and Chad rose his knife. In a fit of anger, he brought the knife down on his father's back.

"Go to hell, Dad!"
