Chapter 11- Slippery When Wet
Troy and Gabby heard loud music as they pulled up in front of Sharpay's condo.
"She better not have lied about the alcohol" Gabby said shaking her head as she saw Sharpay dancing around the pool like a crazy person.
"Nah….I think that's how she normally dances" Troy said taking Gabby's hand and bringing up to his lips to lay a soft kiss on it.
"Troy" Gabby said trying not to laugh at her friends gyrating hips on Zeke who looked like he might pass out.
"Gabby….oh my god you're here" Sharpay said while running towards Gabby with her arms flung wide open.
"OOOmf" Gabby wheezed out as Sharpay collided with her and flung her arms around her neck.
"Whoa….having trouble breathing here" Gabby gasped out pushing on Sharpay.
"Ooops…sorry" Sharpay said finally pulling away and allowing her friend to breath. "OOO you have to meet my cousin and her boyfriend" She finished grabbing Troy and Gabby and pulling them towards the pool house. When they walked in they saw all of their friends lounging around and talking with two unfamiliar people. One was very blonde much like Sharpay but she wasn't nearly as pretty and the other was a guy who was actually quite attractive with dark hair and piercing green eyes.
"Gabby…Troy…this is my cousin Alexis and her boyfriend Nathan" Sharpay said pointing at the two who stood and walked towards them.
"Nice to meet you" Alexis said in a seductive voice looking Troy up and down earning her a very nasty glare from Gabby.
"You too" Troy said shaking her hand and then pulling Gabby close to him to let her know it had no effect whatsoever on him.
"Hello Gabby" Nathan said stepping closer to her making her feel a bit uncomfortable.
"Hi" Gabby squeeked out tightening her grip on Troy's hand.
"Hi Nathan…I'm Troy" He said stepping between him and Gabby and firmly shaking his hand.
"What's up?" Nathan said his eyes never leaving Gabby over Troy's shoulder.
"Okay so now that that part is out of the way we can have some fun" Sharpay yelled turning the music up and grabbing Zeke to dance with.
Nathan and Alexis finally turned away and began chatting with the others again.
"That guy creeps me out" Gabby said pulling Troy close to her and burying her head in his chest.
"Don't worry baby I won't let anything happen to you" Troy said tipping her chin up to look into her eyes. "I promise" He finished leaning down and placing a kiss on her lips.
"Okay" Gabby said pulling away with a goofy grin on her face. "I'm gonna go change into my swimsuit" She finished grabbing her bag out of Troy's hand and heading towards the bathroom.
When she came out of the bathroom she noticed that everyone had made their way out to the pool….most of the girls were sunbathing and the guys were playing pool basketball.
Troy looked up when he heard the doors to the pool house shut and suddenly he couldn't breath. There Gabby stood in a white bikini that left little to the imagination.
"That's new" Troy thought to himself as he was suddenly hit in the side of the head with the basketball.
"Pay attention you idiot" Nathan yelled at him grabbing the ball.
"You guys go on without me" Troy said his eyes never leaving Gabby and her gorgeous body as he pushed himself up and out of the pool.
Gabby was just standing talking to Sharpay when she felt to very cold and very wet arms circle her waist.
"AAAAh" She screamed jumping away from him. "You're all wet" She said playfully slapping him on the chest. Troy just grinned and grabbed her hips and pulled her in for a kiss.
"MMMM" Gabby moaned lacing her hands around his neck.
"Hello…people here who don't want to throw up" Taylor said tossing her towel hitting Gabby in the back.
"Sorry" Gabby said pulling away and blushing furiously.
"Yes Miss Montez…please try to control yourself" Troy said reaching down to tickle her sides.
"Troy" Gabby said starting to run away from him not noticing the water all over the deck. Before she knew what was happening she felt herself slipping and falling towards the pool. "Oh god" She screamed before everything went black.
Everyone was just laughing because they didn't notice that when she fell she had hit her head on the side of the pool. The laughter soon died down when the pool water started turning a bright shade of red.
"Holy Shit" Troy said diving in and pulling his practically lifeless girlfriend out of the water.
"Call an ambulance….she hit her head!!!" Taylor screamed at a panicked Sharpay who was frantically dialing numbers on her cell phone.
"Gabby…baby can you hear me?" Troy shouted trying to shake her awake. "Shit" He yelled grabbing a nearby towel and using it to help stop the bloodflow that was gushing from Gabby's head.
"Everything is gonna be alright baby" Troy said cradling her head in his hands. "Just don't leave me okay" Troy said as he felt hot tears start to streak down his face.
Nobody knew what to do so they just stood and watched the heartwrenching scene before them until they heard the siren pull up at the house and saw the paramedics scrambling towards their friend.
They pulled Gabby out of Troy's grasp and started doing all kinds of stuff to her.
"Is she okay?" Troy asked pacing back and forth letting his tears fall freely.
"Calm down son….can you tell us her name?" The paramedic said not even glancing up at Troy.
"Gabriella….Gabrielle Marie Montez" He said as more tears fell down his face as he watched them out her on a stretcher and start to load her into the ambulance.
"Can I come with her?….please" He begged trying to wipe the tear away.
"Are you family?" He asked looking at Troy.
"Ummmm" Troy said knowing that they wouldn't let him come with her if he said no.
"He's her fiancé" Sharpay said walking up and putting her arm around a confused Troy letting him know not to interject.
"Okay then you can come…hurry and get in" The man said jumping in the ambulance and started working on Gabby again.
"We'll be right behind you" Sharpay said pushing Troy into the back of the ambulance.
"Thanks" Troy mouthed to her as the ambulance doors shut and they drove off towards the hospital.
