Picking her up he opened the car door and placed her on the seat. Running to the other side of the car he dug through his pockets for his cellphone, nothing. He was so excited about helping her with the list he had forgotten to bring it. Frantically loking at Gabriella and then back at the window he could barely see the road. rain had already began pouring in huge sheets. Looking in the tool box on the side of him he found a flashlight, pack of gum, compass, his dad's old baseball cap, and a long piece of string.

Taking the hat and string he tied the flashlight securley to the hat before switching it on. Taking the compass in his hand he got out of the car he ran to Gabriella's side then picked up the pale light girl. There was supposed to be a hospital nearby, a lot of hospitals were located near the state line.

Holding the compass inches from his face while sturggling to hold the fragile girl, he headed north. Cars sped by them light a flash of light, almost as if it was more lightning. Thunder roared from the dark stormy sky as Troy had been pushing several miles already. His flashlight had gone out already but it had lasted long enough, they were now entering the city so lights filled the sky, some followed by crackling thunder.

"Hold on Gabriella. We're almost there." Troy said weakly as he struggled to keep her in his arms. Water streamed down his face a lot of them being tears but some the rain.

Carrying her into the hospital he imediantly grabbed everybody's attention. The receptionist came running over and took one look at the pale girl and shivering boy then called in a doctor.

"Please help her." he pleaded weakly as several doctors came running in and put her on a stretcher. They all began ordering random things that of course Troy couldn't understand. The room was silent as the people who filled the lobby watched their every move. Soon enough the doctors had her out of the romm and on the third floor.

2 hours later...

Troy awoke in a hospital room with his mom, dad, and Chad sleeping near him. His mom's head rested on the bed and hs dad was in a chair at the left corner of the room. Slowly turning he could see the small light of dawn shining through the windows.

"Mom." he whispered shaking her lightly. "Mom."

Slwoly but surely she awoke sleepily rubbing her eyes before seeing his blue eyes wide open and staring at her. "Troy!" she cried embracing him in a tight hug. Upon hearing her cry his dad awoke too and smiled.

"Hey finally your awake." Chad smiled, he too walking towards the bed.

"Why am I here?" he asked, rubbing the back of his neck and rolling it a bit.

"Your friend Gabriella had a little problem. Her-" Mr.s Bolton began before seeing Chad, who had yet to find out about her luekimia. She thought again, choosing her words carefully before continuing to a now wide eyed Troy." her conition acted up and she passed out. If it weren't for you she probably wouldn't have made it." his mom smiled feeling her heart.

"Very proud of you son. You know you carried her five miles non-stop." Jack smiled too getting on his kness to be at Troy's eye-level before Troy shot up.

"But why am I in a hospital bed?"

"You strained a couple of muscles so they needed to take some x-rays. Nothing serious, but they decided it might be best for you to stay over night." Chad informed him sitting by the edge of the bed.

"Where's Gabby?" he asked throwing the covers off his body. He was wearing sweatpants and a t-shirt seen as his clothes were still very damp by the time they decided to let him sleep.

" She's across the hall. You can go see her." his mom offered stroking his hair gently. Troy imediantly got up and was across the hall looking in the window. Gabriella's mom was leaning by Gabriella's bed like his mom had been positioned earlier before. Quietly walking in he closed the door gently behind him. Walking over to her he put his hand on her back making her jump and turn around.

"Troy." she smiled her face still wet from the crying she had done. The only sound in the room was the steady beat of the thingy.( Obviously I have no idea what it's called) Beep...Beep...Beep... Hugging him she then looked back at Gabriella who began shuffling in the bed and finally opening her eyes.

"Troy." she groaned sleepily. He walked over to her and kissed the top of her head. "Thank you so much." she smiled as big as she could which wasn't very big seen as she had just waken up.

"How you feeling?" her mom asked rushing over to her other side.

"Not very good." she frowned rubbing her eyes and attempting to sit up.

"No no no. Lay down, you need the rest." he smiled warmly stroking her long brown hair.

"I'd hate to ruin the moment, but we need to see Gabriella alone." one of the doctors said as threee came into the room.

"Of course." her mom smiled hugging her one more time before her and Troy were ushered out the door.

"I can't thank you enough." Mrs.Montez smiled once out the door. "It's hard to believe that just the other day whenever she mentioned you I would get angry. Then here you go saving her from possible death." she slightly laughed walking to the room across the hallway.

"Hey is she ok?" Luccille asked walking to her son.

"Yeah she's gonna be fine." he smiled walking back over to his bed.

"Oh hi I'm Troy's mom." Luccille smiled shaking Gabriella's mom's hand. Leading her to the bed she introduced the rest of them. "This is my husband Jack and Troy's friend Chad."

Gabriella's mom held back her anger for the sake of everyone else in the room. She had heard quite a few stories about Chad Danforth, this was the same guy who would shove her little girl into lockers as he passed by in the hallway. The same guy who constantly picked on her.

"It's so nice to meet you all." she lied forcing a smile upon her face. Hearing a lot of yelling across the hallway they all turned their heads as two more doctors frantically ran into the room. All at once all of them ran to the other room where all the comotion was heard.

"What's going on?!" her mom shrieked taking a few steps closer to the doctors that were crowded around her. None of them answered and continued helping her.

"She asked you a question!" Troy boomed making two doctors come to a stop.

"She stopped responding to the treatments." one of them said frantically trying to help the other doctors.

Mrs. Montez began to cry and Luccille puled her into a friendly hg, trying to comfort her. "Wait so what does that mean?" Chad asked actually sounding concerned for her.

"It means that we have a high chance of losing her." another doctor answered changing adjusting one of the machines near the bed.

Another cry was heard from Gabriella's mom. Troy stood silent as his dad reached for his shoulder, shrugging his hnad off he stepped closer.

'Beep.Beep.Beep.Beep'

"Do something!" Jack barked as he ran over to his crying wife and Mrs. Montez.

"We trying everything we can sir, please be patient!" the same doctor ordered pumping energy into her body.

Everybody's frantic yelling came to a stop when her heart rate became faster and faster.

'BeepBeepBeepBeepBeep...Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep'
