Gabriella's Pov:

As I watched Daniel hurried all of us out the classroom and into one of the main corridors I couldn't get Troy's sorry face out of my mind. He told me that it would be dangerous if Daniel was ever set free and guess what? HE ESCAPED AND IS STILL AFTER TROY!! As son as he let us roam around the halls we all dashed for the exits, me, Zeke, Sharpay, Ryan, Kelsi, Martha, Jason and Taylor all huddled together and decided that we would let the others it of their classrooms and call the police as soon as possible.

The first classroom we went to was Mr Bolton's, we all sprinted to the gym and knocked on the door. Mr Bolton answered and looked at us all worried, he hurried us inside and was relieved that we were okay but curious to why we were out in the halls.

"Why were you guys out in the halls, you all could have been killed!"

"Coach, do you want Chad and Troy alive or not?"

"Of course I do!"

"Then call the police and tell them that it's Daniel Anderson." At this point Mr Bolton had stopped breathing, I'm guessing he couldn't believe that Daniel had escaped and was going to kill Troy and Chad whether they saved them or not. He dashed for the phone, explained to the police their current situation. After that we had told Mr Bolton how we managed to get out safe and sound, so then we all headed for the exits and got all the students out of their classrooms without seeing Daniel.

Troy's Pov:

Bruises and blood covered my tanned skin as Daniel took the switch blade he had and cut my arms open, Chad had just been kicked and slapped whilst I had been cut, kicked, punched and abused. I had fallen unconscious twice and Chad had been worried because I had never been unconscious in my life before and he was also wandering how bad I was hurt. "Does that hurt Bolton?" I couldn't reply, my body was raidiating in pain. "I'll take that as a yes, Danforth keep and eye on him, make sure he stays alive" Daniel said as he untied Chad. As soon as Chad was free he dashed over to me and kept me awake for as long as possible until I couldn't keep them awake much longer.

Chad's Pov:

Watching strangers get hurt is easy, watching friends get hurt is alright, watching your family get hurt is undeniably cruel. I watched Troy fall unconscious for the third time, he had put up a long fight up until now. He had been cut, almost stabbed and he stayed with us. The only reason he's fighting back is because of Gabi, she is his strength. He knows that we will make it out of this alive and that's why he's fighting, if Troy's being strong then so should I. I was brought out of my thoughts by a groan I know came from Troy, I watched his eyes flutter open and him move his gaze towards me. "Hey, how bad is it?" I asked concerned. "it's not that bad" Troy said, his voice was hoarse and you could barely hear him.

Troy's Pov:

As I regained consciousness I remembered what had happened and I just wanted to give up, but that's when I remembered that force, that will power I had left to live and that's what kept me going along with one thought. Gabi.

My body ached, I could barely breathe if I could even breathe for that matter. I still felt really dizzy and if I was going to pass out again then I might not wake up so I pushed through it until we heard something come on through the Intercom.

"I'm leaving now, I have finished my business. I'm ending everything and don't worry I'm gonna make sure that some people see it." Chad untied me quickly and helped me stand until Daniel walked back into the classroom we were held captive in with a gun.

"Guys don't worry I'm not gonna shoot you." Daniel reassured. "You're gonna kill yourself" Chad said as more of a statement then a question, he nodded and I was in between sad and happy. Happy because this nightmare would finally be over but sad because he was my best friend and I can't see my best friend kill himself. "Daniel don't, if you kill yourself everyone is gonna know that you escaped prison." Chad said again. "Oh well, I can't live like this again. I've been on the run for a year, I've had no place to go. My parents abandoned me remember?" Chad stayed quiet, he knew that he couldn't change his mind. But maybe I could.

"Dan, if you kill yourself then you're running away from your problems. The Daniel I friended would never back down from a challenge. He would always help me if I gave up, you were the one who motivated me when I thought somethings would be Impossible. Dan, we have been brothers since pre-school never had I ever thought that you would back down from something." I had let it out, that had been tearing me apart. He had gave up and that wasn't the Daniel I called my brother, no that was a complete stranger impersonating him.

"T, you can't talk me out of this. I'm sorry for everything I've done to you, I'm sorry that my parents left me, I'm sorry that I was fucking born!" Daniel was red in the face, he was clearly letting go of some anger that he had. I couldn't blame him though, he had everything taken away from him. Daniel brought the loaded gun towards the side of his head and had his finger on the trigger. "Dan, please don't do this. You can't end your life, it would kill me knowing that I caused you to do this!" Me and Chad said in unsion, our voices trembling with fear.

BANG!
