A/N: ok so i decided to make this chapter like the movie 'just like heaven' (if you haven't seen the movie then you should, it's a good movie and if you have seen the movie then you pretty much get the idea on how this chapter is), in the movie elizabeth shows up in her own apartment that some guy is living in now (and she doesn't know the guy) and she's really been in a coma for 6 months (or something like that), in this chapter gabriella shows up in troy's apartment... it'll all make sense later on in the next chapter... anyway, enjoy

Chapter 11

Three months had gone by and Troy still hadn't gone to see Gabriella, but Chad called him every two weeks letting him know how she was doing, even though she was still in a coma and there really wasn't any change. He lay down on his bed staring at the ceiling. He knew he should go see her, but for some reason he couldn't make himself go see her, "maybe Chad was right, maybe I have changed," he said out loud to himself as he closed his eyes.

"You know, Wildcat, if people saw you talking to yourself then they're going to think your crazy," Gabriella said sitting at the end of the bed.

Troy sat up looking at her, "Gabriella? Are you really here?"

"You know where I am, Troy."

"Am I dreaming or are you dead?"

"You aren't dreaming. And I'm not dead."

"You sure you aren't dead?"

"I'm not dead, Bolton!"

"Okay, dang no need to yell at me. So why are you here if I'm not dreaming and you aren't dead?"

"I don't know."

"There has to be a reason."

"I guess. Can I ask you something?" Gabriella said.

He sat there staring at her for a moment before answering her, "sure."

"Your still thinking I'm dead, aren't you?"

"No."

"Don't lie to me, Bolton."

"Okay, I am. I just don't see how you can be here if you aren't or if I'm not dreaming," he said picking up his cell as she disappeared.

"Hello?" Chad said tiredly.

"How is she?" Troy asked

"How is who? And who is this?"

"It's Troy and how is Gabs?"

"Nothing's changed. I told you two days ago."

"I know you did, but are you sure nothing's changed?"

"Of course I'm sure."

"She hasn't died or anything has she?"

"No, she hasn't, are you okay?"

"I don't know; she's here. Not physically though."

"You sure you weren't just dreaming about her?"

"I'm sure because I haven't been asleep yet."

"Troy, I don't really think you had a conversation with Gabs and I think you were just seeing things, so go to sleep and we'll talk in the morning," then he hung up.

He hung up thinking maybe Chad was right, again, "maybe I was seeing things," he said out loud lying back down.

"Okay, now I'm starting to think you're crazy," Gabriella said this time sitting at his desk.

He sat up again and looked at her, "please tell me I'm dreaming and not seeing things."

"You aren't."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes I'm sure. And if you were asleep then I would know."

"How would you know?"

"You would either be drooling or mumbling something in your sleep. And since you're not doing either of them you're awake."

"How do you know about that?" Troy asked as he got up to go the kitchen.

"Chad told me a few years ago," she said following him to the kitchen, "nice place."

"I guess it is."

"You don't like it?"

"It's okay, though it'd better if you were here."

"But I am here."

"Yeah, mentally you are, but not physically."

"Are you admitting your crazy?"

"No, I'm not crazy, because I'm the only here. So therefore no one can witness me talking to myself."

"How do you know other people can't see me?"

"Because if they could then you would be bothering them and not me," he said taking a pepsi out of the fridge, "you know I really wish this was a dream now."

"Why?"

"So that I can change it."

"Why would want to do that?"

"Because you're being annoying; are you dead?"

"Nope, just in a coma. At least I think I'm still in a coma."

"You are, called Chad and told him I had a conversation with you earlier."

"What did he say about that?"

"He said he didn't think I had a conversation with you and I was just seeing things then told me to go to bed."

"So he thought you were crazy?"

"Basically and it's your fault."

"How is it my fault?"

"You showed up out of nowhere which I had to tell Chad about and now he's probably going to tell Taylor and Sharpay then they're going to think I'm crazy."

"I didn't tell you to tell Chad anything so if he thinks your crazy then that's your fault."

"Whatever, I'm going to bed. Maybe when I wake up in the morning this nightmare will be over," then he went to his room slamming the door.

"You know you can't get rid of me that easily," she said appearing next to him causing him to fall off the bed.

"Don't do that," he said getting up.

"Well if you want me to go away just say so and I'll go, but I'll probably never come back."

"We both know I don't want you to go away."

"Why haven't you come to see me?"

"I don't know."

"There has to be a reason. Do you not love me anymore?"

"Of course I still love you and you know it."

"Then why haven't you come to see me?"

"Because I can't."

"Why?"

"I just can't, Gabriella!"

"Obviously you have changed, Bolton," she said starting to disappear.

"Brie, please don't disappear again," he said, but she was already gone, "I'm sorry."

He sighed and got up to get dressed, "surely there has to be a bar open somewhere around here," he said to himself as he put his coat on.
