..Silent Love

Gabby's POV

Its been three days..Three days and he hasn't woke.. You can imagine that I am scared out of my mind.

Ever since my little episode with Sharpay I haven't ate, slept, or moved from this hard plastic chair from his bedside. I feel very weak and ill, but I don't care..

I deserve it for putting him through this... I deserve more..I should be the one in that bed..not him...I should be the one dead.. not my mom.. But life doesn't always give you what you deserve..

I ran my fingers through my greasy hair and sighed. My eyes felt like bricks and my stomach ached with hunger..

I gripped his hand tighter...Silently begging him to wake up and be okay..

How long could something like this take??

Days, Months...Years...??? I needed him.. He needed me... Without eachother we were nothing...I was nothing....

I felt like I was going to cry, but I didn't have any tears left. All those years I never cried, here I was wanting to cry but couldn't... I heard a mumble and I glanced up.

Troy's eyebrows were furrowed together and he twitched. I stood up quickly and sat on the edge of the bed next to him.. I placed my other palm against his cheek and silently pleaded inside my head.

His eyes never opened and he didn't move, but something escaped his lips.

"Gabriella.." It was only a whisper, but it meant everything to me.. He was my best friend and maybe more... I loved him, even if he didn't love me. It was very soon to love him. It was like loving a stranger, really. I didn't even know why he was living with Chad and where his parents were?

All I knew was that he was a boy that gave me butterflies, and that everytime he smiled at me I felt this rush of energy run through me.

I smiled and kissed him on the cheek. His eyes, they fluttered open a little and then closed. I heard him take a deep breath and release it.

"Ahh.." He groaned and placed his free hand lightly against his bandaged head. "Shit..Where am I? Oww.."

"Shh.." I whispered, rubbing his cheek. He finally noticed that I was there and he gazed up at me. My stomache lurched from the excitement, hunger, and sickness.

"Gabriella... Long time no see...Where am I exactly?" He glanced around and then the surroundings hit him. "Oh... I remember now...How's my head? Are you okay? How long have I been here?" His voice was shaky, but he kept a calm face.

'Okay. Yes, and...' I mouthed and then held up three fingers,' three days.'

"You've been here all this time? With me?" He smiled brightly as if it meant the world to him. I felt kind of disappointed that he didn't remember me talking, and yet I was happy. I could pretend that it never happened and spare myself all the heartbreak..I'd have to deal with Sharay later.

I nodded my head and smiled.

"Thank you...Gabriella....I-I don't know if this was a hallucination...or...real..but did you talk?At the school?" Oh...BOY.....What do I say??

I stared at him and my smile faded. I glanced away and sighed. This was it...

"Y---" Before he could even hear me Chad and Sharpay walked in.

"Hey dude! You're up!! That's awesome!" Chad walked over and I stepped away from Troy."Hey Gabriella. You okay?"

I nodded and gave a small smile.

"C'mon sweetie, lets go get you something to eat. You're prolly starving.." Sharpay cooed and wrapped and arm around my shoulder, while Troy's eyes never left me and Chad sat beside him.

Before we walked out the door I took one last glance behind me. Something small and shiny was rolling down his cheek, but he pushed it away with his huge fingers. Was he....crying???

"So, did he just wake up, or what?" Sharpay asked. Dark blue circles hung around her perfect eyes. She looked dreadfully tired.

I nodded and took a drank of my coffee and a bite of my scrambled eggs.

"Briella...I thought you were talking now."

I clenched my teeth, rolled my eyes, and slammed my fork against the table. 'No.' I mouthed fiercely. She flinched away at my sudden anger.

"I'm sorry..." She whispered, her eyes filling with tears. My heart sank and I mouthed.

'What's wrong?'

"Nothing its just---" She looked away and looked back at me. I arched my eyebrow and she gave in. "Its just that,well, I thought you were going to start talking again. I was afraid that once you began talking you would communicate with other people..and make other friends..not that that is bad, but I don't want you to forget me..Even for Troy. And I don't want you hurt."

'What do you mean?'

"I mean, I don't know if you actually love him. I don't know if I really believe in love, but I know that you just met him and I don't want you hurt. Admit it Brie, this is practically the first time you have been this serious... Something will happen...I can feel it.. I just hope you're prepared.." She sighed and stood up. "Lets go see Troy."

I stood and followed her out to the car.

"Hey there, Troy." Sharpay patted his shoulder and smiled, "Beat anyone up lately?" She chuckled.

"Haha..Shut up. Where's Gabriella? Is she okay?" His voice grew louder.

"Chill! She's right here." I stepped out from behind Sharpay and something in his eyes shone.

His eyes sparkled and they were bluer than they had ever been. What was it?

"Sorry. I worry too much." He sighed with relief and Sharpay rolled her eyes and smirked.

"Love. What'll happen next?" She mumbled and we both looked at her. "Well, I better wake

slobber face over here and head on home." She gestured toward Chad who was asleep in the

chair. His head was laying to the side and his mouth hung open as drool poured out.

"Thank God! You don't know how horrible it is to listen to him snore." He laughed.

"I don't think I ever want to know." She walked over to him and yanked on his afro. "Chad, wake up." He pushed her hand away and rolled over.

"Get up." She said a little more angry. Once again he pushed her. "Okay Chad, Get the hell up or I'll call Tay to come down here and get you up for me." Once she said that he stood up.

"Fine. Lets go." He groaned. "Catch ya later dude! Bye Gabz!" They closed the door lighly behind them and I picked up a tissue and wiped away Chad's drool.

"Eww.." I mumbled to myself.

"What?" Troy asked quickly. When I turned around he was staring at me. He looked so innocent and weak laying there.

I paced over to him and held his hand. I leaned down and wrapped my other arm lightly around him, giving him a small hug. "Gabriella, thanks for being here with me." He whispered kissing my hair. I nodded and giggled.

"Did you talk to me the other day?" He asked lightly. I pulled away and gazed at him. I couldn't lie to him.

I nodded my head and looked away. I felt the hear rise to my cheeks as I blushed.

"Really? What did you say to me?" He asked. I looked deep into his blue eyes and smiled.

"I-I said-d that I l-love y-you." I choked.
