Chapter 11 'The Black Bag'
By Thetruemeaningoflove
Troy's POV
I had been in the back of the ambulance with Gabriella on the way to the Hospital and I was scared to say the least I was shaking and I knew that if Alex, Sharpay or Taylor started to cry then I soon would.
As we first came into the Hospital I got told that everyone had to wait in the waiting room and when they had news they would come out and tell us but until then it was a waiting game.
I had been waiting for 10 minutes when my Mom, Dad, Sharpay, Seth, Alex, Stephen, Chad and Taylor came in Sharpay and Alex ran over to me crying hysterically. I was thankful that Josh had been dropped off at my Grandparents house at the weekend. The two crying lady's sat at each side of me and just cried into my shirt, it was then that I couldn't hold it in any longer for the first time since I cried, it wasn't like the two girls where tears just fell down my cheeks. The people that knew me where shocked and felt sorry for me.
My Dad held my crying Mom while Chad held his crying girlfriend. Seth and Stephen where sitting near me and the girls and didn't have an emotion, to all of us Gabriella was out baby sister weather it was by a day or a year. But to my Mom and Dad she was their little girl, it didn't matter that she wasn't their biological daughter because they loved her like a daughter, their little girl.
Matt hadn't stayed for long after Seth and Sharpay had arrived, as soon as the cops entered he ran for it I don't know what he was running for, I had watched it all happen and nothing was gonna stop me from telling the cops that Matt pushed Gabriella.

Alex and Sharpay had now moved to their boyfriends while I was pacing and round the waiting room, no-one else was their only friends and relatives of Gabriella, my Dad had tried to calm me down but it hadn't worked, the fact was my Brie was in a hospital bed and we didn't know if she was gonna be okay she might of just banged her head a little and would come round any minute but then again she could have fell on something sharp and that might of pierced the back of her neck and killed her, so basically we didn't have information on Gabriella's condition.
I thought to what Gabriella had told me earlier today and decided that she wouldn't want me to tell them but I knew one thing at this moment in time me and her had something that only her and me knew about.
I looked at where I had been sitting and Gabi's handbag laid, I walked over to the seat and picked up her hand bag. Sharpay came and sat next to me as I opened the very expensive looking bag.
I dug my hand into the bag and pulled out a small and red teddy, I chuckled a little.
It was Gabriella and Alexandra's 5th birthday, I had got them both different presents as most people and their family bought them the same, but both Alex and Brie told me that they hated that so I asked my mom when we went shopping to get two different presents. I had bought Alex a princess fairy outfit with a crown and wand, she loved it. It is still in her bedroom today on a shelf, not the outfit the crown and wand. But for Gabi I got her a red teddy and a photo frame (both in Profile), she had promised me that she would never leave the house with out that teddy and I hadn't realized until now that she still carried it around with her. The photo frame is still in her bedroom but has an up-dated picture of myself, Sharpay and Gabriella.
Sharpay took the bear and placed it on her lap, I saw Alex smile and come and sit on the other side of me to Sharpay, I looked into the bag and had to rummage around a little and then I took out a bar of chocolate.
Gabriella always got sudden cravings for chocolate and to solve the problem she never went out anywhere without a chocolate bar, the weirdest place that she has ever wanted some chocolate was when we where at a funeral, it wasn't anyone really close it was one of out parents old friends. It was just when the body was being buried; she lent over to me and whispered in my ear 'Troy I have a big problem!' I looked at her really puzzled and she started talking again 'I need chocolate!' I started to laugh a little but covered it with a cough so no-one would think I was being disrespectful. As soon as we where out of the grave yard Brie dove into her this time small clutch bag and pulled out a chocolate and began eating. I was chuckling to myself and just then Sharpay and Alex had smiles on their faces but everyone else still looked worried sick.
This time me I went to get something out the bag I had to look in first, then I took something out, their were lots of notes but they weren't loose they where paper clipped together, I looked at the first one I saw and on it was my, not so neat, handwriting.
It read…
Brie
I am really sorry that I couldn't see you when you arrived today I am at my girlfriends house you know Jamie the one I told you about, well I'm here because well I don't actually know at the moment but I will tell you when I come back I don't know when that will be, but I promise to see you before you leave.
Love Troy 3
I left the note for Gabriella because Jamie had phoned me crying, I didn't understand what she was saying so I went round there. Once I got there she was perfectly fine I asked her what was wrong and she came up with the excuse that she was missing me terribly, it could have been half true but I had only seen her half an hour ago after I told her that the Montez's were coming round. In the end I got pulled into a big family dinner and Jamie's little sister (who is adorable) fell asleep on my lap so I stayed the night, thankfully I stayed on the sofa with Michelle in my arms. Jamie looked kinda annoyed cuz I think see wanted to do stuff with me in bed if you get what I mean. (Shudder) I could have been with Brie while she was sick but no, I was with my stupid self centered girlfriend, no ex.
I laughed a little because she had kept all the notes I had written, and they weren't just shoved into her bag they were kept neat and held together.
I let Alex take something out of the bag, no-one had talked yet but I think we were all clearing our minds, and thinking of Gabi, well I hope they were cuz after all we were there for her.
This time when Alex pulled something out of the bag it was a an envelope that had Ella's name on the front we all looked at each other puzzled and then Alex began to open it, we knew we shouldn't but Brie hadn't told anyone about it so either she hadn't read it or she didn't want anyone to know.
As we took out the contents of the envelope and started at it, it was a valentines card it was a bit strange because Valentines day was like 6 months ago, as we opened the card a small piece of paper, I picked it up an just placed it on my lap while we read the card.
It said some thing about looking into your beautiful blue eyes I shook my head, since when has Brie had blue eyes and then it said I love stroking her long blonde hair, and she has never had blonde it is the complete opposite and then at the end, My dearest Gabella love from Matt xxx. He hadn't even spelt her name right and they had been going out for almost a year.
I picked up the other piece of paper and read it, I could tell that it was in Ella's neat handwriting.
Things that tell me he didn't write it
My name is wrong
I don't have blue eyes
I don't have blonde hair
He has put love from normally from
Put three kisses usually none
Card to fancy for him.
How I know that he gave it to someone else last year
Kelly showed me it.
I looked down at the piece of paper and you could faintly see some tear drop marks and I new from their Matt was using Gabi and she knew it.
I looked over at the two girls next to me and they had similar faces to mine, we knew that Matt cheated on Gabi heck! So did the whole school including Brie but we didn't realize that he was even treating her like a girlfriend it was more like a random girl in his class.
I put the card and paper back in the envelope and searched through the bag again.
____________
10 or15 minutes later we had found:
Josh's bricks
A Purse to match her handbag (both in profile)
A lot of rubbish
Her make-up bag
Her car keys
We took out the final thing in her bag; her phone.
I took it out and the wall paper surprised me it was when we where at East High mucking around (Picture I profile) and Sharpay took a photo of us, I didn't expect that I thought that it might be a photo of Brie and Matt but after what I just read I didn't think that either.
Just as I was about to flick through her music a doctor came out. I shot up and walked over to him with a worried expression on my face 'How is she?' I quested and the doc looked around for a bit then back to me 'She's still unconscious' in my mind I sighed a little in relief, wasn't dead that's a good thing I turned to him again 'Do you know when she will wake up?' this is the really important bit 'Well it could be in a few hours' I smiled until I realized that he had more to say 'But it could take weeks even months'
That was not what anyone wanted to hear.
A/N I couldn't log on for ages did anyone else have that problem?
Let me know
