"Troy! No! Please wake up!" Gabriella screamed, repeating the same words over and over. Her tears were flooding her face, and she shook the chair in anger. "Please you can't do this to me! I'm in love with you!" Gabriella heard a faint laugh coming from Nick and he whispered something she couldn't make out. Her screams drowned out his voice, but she was almost positive he told her to 'shut the fuck up.' After he spoke, he left the room and slammed the door powerfully.
"Troy!" She stared at Troy, her vision blurred. "Wake up now dammit! You can't die on me! I can't live without you!" She rocked the chair back and forth until it finally fell on the floor next to Troy. She tried to position herself so her face was positioned next to his. He wasn't the one that was supposed to die. She was. This whole thing was her fault. If he never got involved with her, if he never fell in love with her like she fell for him, she would be the one dead.
"Troy...please...I need you.." Her breath was shaky, and her tears didn't cease to stop. She squeezed her eyes tight, praying, no NEEDING, this to be a dream. "I love you...more than anything on earth."
"Brie.." Gabriellas eyes quickly opened, and her prays seemed to be answered. But it was false hope. She was still there, he was still on the floor. Gabriella thought it was her imagination until she noticed small breaths coming out of his mouth. His chest was moving up and down at a slow pace, and blood was oozing from the side of his shirt.
"Troy!" Gabriella screamed loudly and tried to release her hands. Troy opened both eyes slowly, and looked into Gabriellas teary eyes before trying to smile. As he tried, blood came out of his mouth and dripped down to the side of his face. "You'll...b-be..ok..." Troy tried to speak soothing words to her, but she knew he was having trouble. She tried to scoot closer, so she could feel his breath on her cheek and whispered softly to him "Not without you...please Troy, fight. I can't lose you."
"Chad...will...be...he...paged..." He coughed up more blood and his body twitched a bit. He closed his eyes to try to avoid the pain, but it wasn't working out well. "Gabi..."
"Troy..please.." Gabriellas tears started up again, and she shook her head in denial. "You can't die. I love you Troy..so much."
"Promise me...you'll...li-" He yelped in pain when he felt himself losing more blood. He was becoming numb, and Gabriella was slowly disappearing. "ve...your...life." He stared at her once more, his blue eyes connecting with hers. He never wanted it to end like this, but he would choose death 1 million times if it meant saving her. "I love...you...always." He tried to smile, but as he did his mouth closed and he took his last breath.
"NO! TROY!" She shook the chair once again in anger, and her tears were the only thing that could be heard in the room. She felt herself falling to sleep, not being able to cry anymore or she would surely puke. The last thing she heard was a gunshot, and the door opened revealing a familiar man.
"Gabs...Gabs...wake up." Gabriella opened her eyes slowly and saw Chad next to her, trying to smile. Where was Troy? Why wasn't he next to her?
"Chad? Where's Troy?" Gabriella panicked and sat up from the bed looking around the room when she noticed Chads expression change. "Where is he?" She went to jump off the bed but Chad quickly grabbed her and pushed her back. "Chad!"
"Gabriella, calm down!" He pushed her against the bed and she threw her arms around, trying to escape from his grasp. She shook her head, and memories of Troy flowed through her brain. "Let me go!"
"Gabriella! Dylan, help me!" Chad turned to look at the man near the door that reminded Gabriella too much of Troy. Dylan rushed over and tried to tame her, but she continued to squirm, pushing, punching and screaming.
"Is she OK now?" The blonde girl stood next to Chad, awaiting his answer.
"She's asleep, but she'll be up soon, doing the same thing as before." Chad answered, and Dylan sat down on the couch listening to their conversation.
"Did you tell her?" Dylan asked Chad, and Chad turned to face him.
"I didn't need too. She knew."
"What are we going to do?" Dylan let a tear fall down his face. This was the first time he cried since he was a little boy. And this was the first time he regretted everything that happened between him and Troy.
"I don't know anymore..." Chad turned back to Sharpay and pointed upstairs "Go keep her company?"
Sharpay nodded and left the two boys.
"How could you let this happen?" Dylan stood up, his face inches from Chad. "You let my brother die."
"What the fuck Dylan! How is this my fault? I'm just as upset as you!" Chad pushed Dylan away from his face and glanced at him.
"You should've went there with him! It should've been you!" Dylan walked away and entered the kitchen, only to come back minutes later with a knife in his hand.
"Dylan...whoa, man what are you doing?" Chad asked, backing away from the man closing in on him.
"You wanted him to die didn't you? You set this up. That's why Nick got away. Because of you!" Dylan lunged toward him, the knife pointing toward Chad. Chad quickly ducked as he swung, and shook his head. "Dylan stop! I would never let my best friend die! He was like a brother to me! Stop it!"
Dylan stood frozen, dropping the knife and staring at Chad. "How could this happen.." Dylan fell to the floor, his hands over his face, and started to sob.
Sharpay watched from the corner, her eyes widening.
"Gabi?" Sharpy knocked on the door twice and Gabriella looked up at her with tears in her eyes. Her arms were around her legs, and her whole body was shaking.
"Are you ok?" She walked further in the room and sat next to Gabriella on the bed, patting her on the back.
"How did they find us..." Gabriella choked out, shaking her head. "He's dead Sharpay...I'll never feel his kisses again...I'll never have the strength to move on. I'm broken." Gabriella sobbed into Sharpays chest, and stayed there with her eyes closed.
"Shhh...it's OK. I'm here." Sharpay rubbed Gabriellas back, and tried to give her a comforting smile. Gabriella opened her eyes to look at Sharpay, but was taken back by something she noticed. She pulled back slowly, and stared at her. "Where'd you get that?" Gabriella nodded her head toward Sharpays finger, and she crawled away from her.
"Get what?" Sharpay looked confused, and tilted her head. "What's wrong?"
"It's...you...YOU DID THIS!" Gabriella grabbed the lamp on the nightstand of Sharpays guest room, and held it up pointing it at her.
"What are you talking about Gab?" She asked, backing away from Gabriella.
"That ring. You're one of them. How could you? I trusted you! Troys dead because of you!" She screamed and Sharpay started to laugh, holding onto her stomach.
"Got me." She reached into a drawer too fast for Gabriella to react, and she pulled out a gun. "Sorry Gabriella. I don't have a choice." She aimed the gun at Gabriella, and a shot was fired.
Gabriella shut her eyes, waiting to feel the pain of the gunshot, and to finally be with Troy. She heard a mumble and opened her eyes, realizing she wasn't the one shot. Dylan and Chad were behind Sharpay as she fell to the ground with a bullet through her chest.
"Gabriella, are you OK?" Dylan ran toward her, and held onto her arms trying to wake her up from her state of shock. Chad was also walking to her while putting his gun in his belt strap.
"Gabriella?" She ignored Dylan and let herself fall to the ground. How could she be OK when Troy was dead? She would never be OK, ever again. Not unless she was dead with him.
