A/N I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING! ALSO I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU ALL A FAIR WARNING RIGHT NOW THIS CHAPTER WILL END WITH A CLIFF HANGER! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
Back at the school Amber was on the phone with Greg.
"I get that you need a new heart Greg but what do you want me to do about it?"
Amber's eyes went wide at his answer. "You want me to do what? How am I supposed to do that?"
Amber continued to listen. "Look, all this has been about playing Gabe and making his lose the relationship he had with his sister. That's been fun but you're asking me do something huge."
Amber sighed. "I do want my pay but I don't know if I can do what you're asking. If it works I could be arrested for murder."
A sudden smirk appeared on Amber's face. "You're right, I'll only be in trouble if I get caught. Don't worry Greg I don't know how but I will make sure that no matter what happens you will get your sons heart."
Around the corner Chad had been on his way out and overheard the whole conversation. His eyes went wide.
"Amber is working for Greg. That would explain so much, but how does she plan on getting Gabe's heart? She wouldn't kill Gabe would she?" Chad asked himself.
The first thought in his head was to call Troy but he knew neither of them needed this added stress. Whatever Amber was planning wasn't going to happen overnight. So first thing in the morning Chad was going to tell Troy. He was going to tell Troy that Amber had been working with Greg this time. He was going to tell Troy that Gabe's life was at risk unless they did something and fast.
The next morning Gabriella stirred and opened her eyes. She smiled at Troy sleeping next to her. She stretched a bit and cuddled back into Troy's side. He let out a small moan. "Morning." He greeted sleepily.
"Morning. Troy I don't want to move. I'm so comfortable."
"Then we won't. We can spend all day in bed. How does that sounds?"
"Perfect."
They both cuddled even closer to each other holding each other.
Suddenly Troy's phone rang. Gabriella groaned. "Make it stop! Don't answer it."
Troy chuckled. "Let m see who it is."
Troy grabbed the phone and looked at the caller ID. "It's Chad, he knows about this night I had planned. He wouldn't be calling unless it was really important. I have to answer it."
Gabriella nodded.
Troy sighed and sat up in bed leaning against the head board letting Gabriella go. He picked up the phone.
"Hello?"
"'AmberisworkingforGreg…"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, slow down Chad. What?"
"I was on my way back to the hotel last night and I overheard Amber on the phone. She was talking to Greg."
Troy sat up. "What? How do you know?"
"She said his name twice. Amber has been working with Greg for months trying to break Gabe and Gabriella apart. Everything that happen between them was part of their master plan."
"That would explain so much. Are you sure?"
"Yes. There is something else you need to hear too."
"What?"
"Is Gabriella close by?"
"Yeah but she isn't paying attention."
"Ok, Greg wants Amber to get him a new heart."
"Oh so what? She'll never find one."
"No, Troy, you don't understand. Greg wants Gabe's heart."
"WHAT! How is he going to get that?"
"I don't know. Amber has something planned."
"She's going to kill him."
Gabriella looked up at him confused. Now she was paying attention.
"Yes, we need to get to Gabe and make sure he knows the truth before Amber gets her way with him."
Troy looked to Gabriella and knew he had to choose his next words carefully.
"Yeah I agree. Let's meet back at the school in an hour. I think it's time for an intervention."
"Ok, see you soon."
Chad hung up. Troy hung up and sighed. Now to tell Gabriella.
"Troy, what's wrong?" she asked.
"Listen baby girl, we need to talk."
"No, no, no, not the dreaded 'we need to talk' nothing good can ever follow that."
"I know and I'm sorry."
"Why?"
"Baby…" Troy took a deep breath and let it out. He was about to stab his girlfriend in the heart. "As Chad was leaving the school last night he overheard Amber on the phone. She was talking to a man named Greg."
Gabriella went white and started shaking. "Bu-but tons of men ar-are na-named Greg."
"He also heard her saw that breaking you and Gabe up was part of her plan all along."
"O-ok s-s-so. Tha-that does-doesn't prov-prove anything."
"Baby you need to listen to me. Amber has been working with Greg this whole time, in order to break you and Gabe apart."
"No." Gabriella started to cry. "No, you're lying."
"I wish I was but I would never lie to you."
Gabriella continued to cry. Troy's heart broke. He hadn't even told her the worst part yet.
"Baby there is more."
"What else could there possibly be? Amber has already done enough. Unless you want to tell me she plans on killing Gabe…."
Troy didn't respond.
"Oh my gosh, NO! NO!" Gabriella screamed in tears. "WHY!"
"Greg wants Amber to get him Gabe's heart."
Gabriella cried even harder. "We have to save him!"
"We will, we're going to do an intervention, but we need to get to school right away."
Gabriella nodded. Neither of them bothered to get changed or shower. They just threw on their shoes and left.
With Amber in her dorm room, she was on the phone.
"Hi baby, I know I miss you too. I promise it's almost over. As soon as I kill Gabe I'll have my pay and we can be together again. Don't worry I know how to kill Gabe without anyone knowing it was me. But I am going to need your help….."
A little bit later Gabe walked in. Amber was off the phone.
"Hey baby girl." He greeted.
"Hey, you want to go for a ride with me?"
"Sure, where are you going?"
"Just away from this school, I figured we could use a day out."
"Sure let's go."
Amber left behind Gabe a smirk on her face. He just fell right into her trap.
Troy and Gabriella finally made it to the school. They ran into the others.
"Have you guys seen Gabe yet?" Troy asked.
"No, we checked your room but he wasn't there. We didn't know where Amber's room was."
"I do, follow me." Troy said.
"Wait!" a voice said.
Everyone turned to see a man in his late 20s standing there. He had pale blue eyes and black hair.
"I'm sorry but did you just say you know where Amber is?" the man asked.
"Yes, do you know Amber?" Troy asked.
"Yes, I'm her brother..."
Everyone gasped.
Amber pulled into an abandon parking lot.
"What are we doing here?" Gabe asked.
"I'm sorry Gabe." Amber said.
"For what?"
"For what I am about do."
Amber grabbed Gabe by the head and slammed it onto the dashboard hard. Gabe blacked out. Amber got out of the car as another car pulled up. A tall man around Amber's age pulled up. He had blond hair blue eyes.
Amber hugged him. "I missed you so much baby."
"Me too."
They shared a kiss.
"Are you sure no one is going to suspect you?"
"Yes, I'm sure. As far as anyone is concerned Gabe died in a tragic car crash."
The man nodded.
"Just remember I have to be able to drive the car once you're done so not too much damage and make sure you put the impact mostly on Gabe's side."
The man nodded and got back into the car. The man smacked his car into the other car several times until the car was banged up.
Amber smiled and went over to him. "Good now follow me I'm going to need your help."
"Where are you going?"
"I need to be in the middle of a busy street to make everyone believe it was a car crash."
"So what do you need me for?"
"If Gabe is the only one hurt, and I was in the car too, it might make it seem suspicious."
"Where do I come in?"
"Once I get the car in a good spot I'm going to need you to lift Gabe and put him on top of me so it looks like he threw himself on me to protect me and that's why I'm not hurt."
"Got it, so then what happens?"
"I'm going to call for help and pretend to be all hysterical, and well the rest will play out from there."
"I love this plan."
"I love you."
"I love you too baby."
They shared another kiss before getting into their cars and driving away.
Back at the school everyone was staring wide eyed at the boy in front of them.
"You're her brother?" Troy asked.
"Yeah. Why?"
"She told us you abandoned her." Gabriella said.
"Yeah, that's what she tells everyone. The truth is she abandoned me. Our parents died when she was seventeen. I was twenty so I could take care of her. As soon as she turned eighteen she ran away. She took the money from our safe in the house, she took all the money from our bank accounts, she only left me with twenty dollars I had in my wallet and a note saying don't come after me. I've been looking for her, for years. Thankfully I found this nice man who was willing to help me for free. We finally tracked her to this school."
"That sounds more believable." Troy said.
"I'm guessing she caused some kind of trouble for you?"
Gabriella just nodded.
"Well I'm sorry, My name is Thomas, do you know where I could find her?"
"My name is Troy and this is my girlfriend Gabriella, and my buds Chad, Jason, and Zeke." Troy said. "We were just on our way to see Amber now."
"May I come with you?"
"Of course."
Just then Gabriella's phone rang. She grabbed it and answered it. "Hello…Hey mom….what? ….NO!" Gabriella sunk down to the floor crying. Troy got down next to her and wrapped his arms around her. He took the phone and put it to his ear. "Ms. Montez, what's going on?...Oh no, he is all right?...Yeah, yeah we will meet you there." Troy hung up and squeezed Gabriella tighter, they were too late. Gabriella was already in the hospital.
"We were too late." He said.
They others knew what he meant. They all sunk down next to Gabriella. "What happen?" Chad asked.
"Ar ash." Gabriella choked out between hysterical cries.
"What?"
"Car crash." Troy muttered burring is his face in Gabriella's hair.
"Who was driving?" Jason asked.
"Who do you think?" Chad growled.
Thomas sighed, he had a bad feeling his sister was a big part of this. "It was my sister wasn't it?"
"NO DUH YOU IDIOT!" Chad yelled.
Gabriella flinched at his voice. She never liked yelling, ever since she got away from her father she never liked the sound of other people yelling. She cried harder.
"Chad stop, it's not his fault." Troy said.
"Everything that his sister did he his fault."
"No, Chad you don't know Amber the way Gabriella and I do. Thomas had no control over Amber or what she does. It's not his fault."
Chad just growled. "I'll believe it when you can prove it."
"CHAD JUST STOP IT!" Gabriella screeched in tears.
"Gabriella is right, we need to get to the hospital." Troy said.
Everyone just nodded. They all stood up...except for Gabriella. Troy looked to Gabriella and bent down kissing her head. "Come on sweetie. We need to leave."
Gabriella just shook her head as she continued to cry. Troy sighed. He lifted her arms and put them around his neck. He then lifted her bridal style and stood up back. Gabriella buried her face in his neck. "I want Gabe." She whimpered.
"I know baby girl. I know. Just hang on."
Everyone quickly got into their cars and drove away.
They arrived at the hospital and went inside.
"We're here for Gabe Montez." Troy said, still carrying a crying Gabriella. "This girl is his sister."
"The doctor is in with him now please have a seat."
Everyone sat down on the very uncomfortable waiting room chairs. Gabriella was crying so hard she was hyperventilating.
"Shhh baby girl, shhh I'm sure everything will be all right."
"You can't…be sure…no one…can…b-be su-sure!" Gabriella gasped out between harsh painful cries.
Troy sighed. He knew she was right but he was trying to calm her down. The last time he saw her this upset was at school the first day after Gabe left to live with their mother. She had a break down in the gym. The only way he had been able to calm her down was promising to call Gabe…Now there was nothing to calm her down.
"Baby, I know you're scared and I know you're upset. You have every right to be but please baby girl you need to breathe. Take a deep breath come on sweetie breathe with me Inhale…exhale…"
"Ga-Gabe is-isn't bre-breathing wh-why sh-sh-should I?" Gabriella cried out.
"Baby, whatever is wrong with your brother I'm sure he's breathing. That is one thing I am sure of."
"I wa-wa-want t-t-t-to s-s-s-s-see hi-hi-hi-hi-hi-him."
Gabriella was only getting worse and her sentences started to come out incoherently.
Troy hugged her tighter. "I know baby I know. But hey, listen to me. What do you think Gabe will say when he sees you like this? Do you think he will be happy?"
Gabriella shook her head no longer able to speak through her tears.
"Then you've got to calm down. That way when the doctor comes out we can go see Gabe and he won't be upset that you're upset."
Nodding Gabriella slowly started to calm down. Gabriella's crying had lessened but her breaths were still coming out in gasps. Troy knew just what to do. He put his hand up the back of her shirt and gently ran his finger tips up and down her back. Then he softly started to sing. Gabriella cuddled into him and finally relaxed into his hold. Her breath and crying slowed to just sniffles. Troy continued his actions and didn't stop.
Thomas walked back ok. "Can I sit with you I just found out Amber was in the car too. Another doctor is in with her."
"NO DUH SHIRLOCK! IT TOOK YOU THINK LONG TO FIGURE OUT YOUR SISTER JUST TRIED TO HAVE OUR FRIEND KILLED!" Chad said.
Gabriella flinched and her breathing picked up.
"Shhh, shhh, shhh," Troy soothed hugging her closer to him. He other hand went over to her ear. He gently covered her ear with his hand helping to block out, not only Chad, but any other noise that was upsetting her. Once her breathing calmed down he looked to Chad. "Chad…" he said in a warning tone. He then looked to Thomas. "Sure have a seat. I'm sorry about Chad."
"Don't be, he's protecting his friends, any good person would."
Troy just nodded. He was glad Thomas understood. He looked down to Gabriella and moved some hair from her face. He smiled when he saw her finally sleeping. Yeah it was still morning but she was sleeping peacefully and not worrying about anything and that's all he wanted.
"Oh good you guys are here!" a voice said.
Everyone turned to see Amber with some guy. Amber didn't see Thomas sitting there.
"I wasn't sure you'd make it. Have you heard anything about Gabe?"
Chad stood up.
"Like you care! Who is this with you anyway. Your partner in crime?"
"No, it's my brother."
"Your what? Thomas asked standing up.
Amber gasped. "To-To-To….Thomas…."
"Hi Amber, I'd ask if you miss me but I already know the answer."
"How did you find me?"
"I found someone to help me track you down. For free I might add because you took all the money we had."
"Uh…I…well you see…"
"Forget it, everything that comes out of your mouth is a lie."
"Look, both of you stop. All that matters is Gabe. But I promise you Amber if what you just did hurts Gabe in any way I will make sure you rot in a jail cell." Troy said.
Before Amber could respond doctor walked out.
"How is Gabe?" Troy asked.
"I'm sorry I wish I had better news."
Troy gulped. What did that mean?
"What's wrong?"
"Well we did every test possible and everything came back normal except for one….the brain scan."
"Ok…so what's wrong with him?" Chad asked
"He has no brain activity. I'm sorry but Gabriel is brain dead."
Everyone gasped.
A/N I warned you but now I'm going to end it there. What do you think will happen? Can anyone bring Gabe back?
