Chapter 7

The room dulls without you

He won't be hurting me much longer, she promised she's gonna make him stop but now…now I need to find 'him'. I need to find Troy. I need to find Troy and tell him everything. Im driving, frantically across town. My head is spinning, my eyes puffy, any last remains of make up vanished from my face due to tears. Oh I hope he understands! Understands everything…I can see flashlights heading towards me, a loud noise. Everything is suddenly very, very dark. I just had strength to whisper "Troy…"


Troy's POV

I screwed up. I screwed up with Gabi big time… I don't know where she is. Her mother said she hasn't seen her. I'm not surprised Gabi doesn't like her house, they didn't seem to care she'd gone missing. Sharpay had called me earlier asking if Gabi was at mine yet and I told her the truth…no. Sharpay sounded annoyed and said Gabriella had broken some promise. I tried to ask more but all Sharpay said "It's not my place to say."

My phone beeped and I turned over reaching for it. "Hey talk to me."

"Troy? Troy Bolton?"

"Yes…" I looked confused at the phone, the voice was cool and crisp, but in a way, and this is gonna sound nuts, the voice sounded wise.

"I believe you know my Granddaughter Gabriella?"

I sat bolt upright, my heart racing a hundred miles an hour. My hand was shaking… "Gabriella Montez??" he asked his edginess portended in his voice.

"This is Carlos Enrique Jacob Montez…." I scratched my head "I'm her grandfather?"

"Do you know where she is??" was all I wanted to know.

"Indeed yes I do…"

"Where?" I almost screamed.

"Troy…she was in a car accident…" my heart stopped, literally stopped. I couldn't breather.

"Is she dead?" was all I whispered

"Fortunately no…" My breath came back

"Why didn't her mother tell me when I called?" I asked earnestly

"Her mother doesn't know…"

"Ohh…" my head felt weird, something wasn't right.

"Troy I called you because a witness at the scene said she whispered your name before she became unconscious…"

"Is she still unconscious…" I asked

"Umm well yes…" Carlos sighed "She's in a really deep coma Troy."

A tear trickled down my cheek but I brushed it off quickly taking a deep breath. "Can I come and see her?" I asked staring at the most recent drawing of Gabriella I'd been doing.


No one's POV

Gabriella lay in the hospital bed, her hair out-stretched around the pillow. Troy entered wringing his hands nervously. "Gabriella hi…" he smiled "Oh God Gabriella look at you. Your even more beautiful when you sleeping." He put his hand on hers then brought it back "No you wouldn't like that…" he sighed sitting down in the chair opposite her. "Sharpay went crazy when she heard you didn't show up at mine. She said some stuff about you promising to talk to me and that you'd broken your promise. Don't worry she wouldn't tell me what's wrong your secrets still safe." He rubbed his eyes. "I'm so sorry for trying to force you to tell me what was wrong. You shouldn't have to tell me if you don't want to." He looked at her willing her to wake up.

He bent over foreword sobbing into his hands. "Im so stupid… so stupid….what was I thinking. For fucks sake she could die and the last thing I said was me telling her not to talk to me."

And then a voice said "You know the first sign of madness is talking to yourself."


Gabriella's POV

When I woke up all I could feel was the banging in my head and I was struggling to breathe. I tried to say something but it was like someone had stolen my breath. And then I heard Troy say

"Im so stupid… so stupid….what was I thinking. For fucks sake she could die and the last thing I said was me telling her not to talk to me."

And it just made me laugh so hard! Because it reminded me of the time I went round to his and he leaned out the window. He looked at me as I spoke to him. I could see he'd been crying, was he crying because of me, in fact what had happened to me.

"Gabi…" was all he said. He was ghost white, paler than I'd ever seen him. He gulped rising to his feet. "Gabi?" I tried to laugh but I sounded like that dog off Wacky Races. I motioned to my throat showing that I couldn't talk very well. His eyes showed so much concern I just wanted to reach out and grab him.

"Troy…" I stared at his electric blue eyes "I need to tell…"

And then the wicked witch of the west burst in. "Gabriella Lucia Maria Montez what are you doing?"

"Mama I don't know…" I whispered

"Why did no-one tell me you were in here…" she looked upset, not that I'd been hurt, that she'd been the last to know.

"I don't know mama I only just woke up…" I looked at Troy asking him to leave with my eyes. He understood. Sometimes I feel he's the only one who gets me.

Troy left and instantly the room dulled.


No-one's POV

Troy leaned against the wall outside the hospital. He flipped open his cell and dialled Sharpay's number. He was greeted with "Darling has she finally told you?"

Troy shook his head then realised Sharpay couldn't hear him if he did that so he whispered a simple "no."

"And why not…" Sharpay was in a full rant mode when Troy whispered "There's been an accident."


Sharpay's POV

Ok hearing that Gabriella Montez was in hospital really shocked me. I spilled Channel red nail varnish all over my foot.

"Fucking hell…" I whispered to Ryan's amusement. I hit him. Now was not the time to be laughing. "Ryan KEYS!" I shouted at him

"Where are we going?" he whined tossing my keys to me and grabbing my dog Fu-Fu from her basket.

"Leave Fu-Fu. We're going to hospital…" I slipped my feet into some Ugg boots and tied back my hair. "Ryan can you drive I'm just toooooooo shocked for words, I feel like I might faint." He sighed; ok so I was being a little dramatic…shoot me.


Gabriella POV

"Mama…I can't go home the doctors want to run some tests."

"I don't care you're my daughter and I know what's best for you now get up now."

I sighed climbing out of the bed, I was sore.

"Miss Montez where are you going?" my nurse Peyton asked entering the room. I looked at her gratefully. She always had perfect timing.

"She's coming with me…" snapped my mother throwing my coat at me.

It had been a long day. Troy hadn't come back to visit me but Sharpay and Taylor had come. Taylor worried about what was wrong, but I couldn't tell her. I needed to tell Troy first. Sharpay just sat their ranting on about dangerous drivers and how they shouldn't drive on the road. I could tell my mum didn't like her. That made me like Sharpay even more. She glared at my mother who was staring at her. "What?" she asked. My mum sighed and got up going out of the room.

My mum must have been annoyed about Sharpay still as she seemed very very aggravated.

"Im afraid Mrs Montez...I mean Mrs Thomas that Gabriella has to stay here for quite a while."

My mother sighed and snarled at me "You're just being lazy." But she stormed out all the same leaving me to be peaceful. Well I would have been but all I wanted was Troy.
