Gabby's POV

A few days later…

It had been 8 days since Troy had been admitted to the hospital and he still made no sign of waking up. The doctor was busy telling us he just needs time, but the 1% chance of him not waking up still cursed in the back of my head. – If the doctor hadn't said it the way he had, I would feel better, who knows?

I was sitting next to Troy, it was a Saturday and my mom had allowed me to stay at the hospital. I wasn't allowed on school nights but it was a weekend, she couldn't tell me to stay at home, while Troy was in coma, hopefully fighting to wake up soon. But the sheet the doctor had shown us wasn't very comforting. Troy wasn't going to give up…

His condition hadn't changed much, he was more stable but his lungs still needed to be supported. – The tube was still down his throat. They had removed the blood infusion a few days ago, but he still got dextrose.

I was holding his hand, it wasn't as cool at it had been a few days ago, but you could tell he wasn't awake. Honestly if you were only a by-passer you would think he's dead. Chad had already called the gang but told them not to tell anyone that Troy was at the hospital again and Lucille had called the principal and told him about Jack and what he did to Troy. The gang knew as well, Chad didn't lie to them. They were shocked, more shocked than I expected them to be. But they would keep their mouths shut. – As long as Troy didn't want the whole school to find out, no one would tell.

Lucille's POV

He still hadn't woken up. It was a heart breaking view. He looked better but still not good. Although the nurses and doctors were reassuring me that he would wake up soon, he hadn't given up by now so why would he do now, I still feared the worst.

Nick was sitting on a couch with Chad; they tried to get their minds off Troy's condition by playing cards. Chad has always been like a brother to Troy. And Troy knew that.

He also knew how much he meant to me and Nick, if I could I would've let both of them stay with me, but Jack had wanted Troy to stay with him. – Basketball…

And Troy knew that he meant more than a good friend to Gabriella. And according to Chad she was more to him. He couldn't stop fighting for the ones he loves. The sheet didn't mean anything, it was written in pure desperation, well at least I hoped so…

I looked up when someone knocked on the door. It was one of the doctors. He stepped in and I stood up, he wanted to look at Troy. – Again…and every time he would say the same: "He should wake up soon…"

I rolled my eyes when he bend down over him and looked at his arms, it was always the same procedure and nothing came out.

Troy's POV

It's so cold here, I'm freezing. I want to get out of here, somewhere it has to be warm…I hate it.

I hate feeling like this
I'm so tired of trying to fight this
I'm asleep and all I dream of
Is waking to you

Gabriella was there I could hear her voice, but I felt numb. Suddenly she sighed. "I think I'll better leave…if he doesn't want I'll give him space…
NO!

Tell me that you will listen
Your touch is what I'm missing
And the more I hide I realize I'm slowly losing you

She couldn't leave I needed her; she's the one giving me strength not to go to the warmth of the wrong side. If she leaves…I don't know what to do…

Comatose
I'll never wake up without an overdose of you

If she leaves there's nothing to fight for. I admit it I LOVE HER. So, I said it Gabby, please stay…Does she even hear me?
She sighed again…No, NO – She can't give up if she doesn't want me to give up...NO!

I don't wanna live
I don't wanna breathe
'les I feel you next to me
you take the pain I feel
waking up to you never felt so real
I don't wanna sleep
I don't wanna dream
'cause my dreams don't comfort me
The way you make me feel
Waking up to you never felt so real

I felt her stand up, I could sense her energy leaving, the energy that protected me from the other side…there they are again, they want me to come, but I don't want. A few weeks ago I might have gone with them, but not NOW! GABBY STAY!

I hate living without you
Dead wrong to ever doubt you
But my demons lay in waiting
Tempting me away
Oh how I adore you
Oh how I thirst for you
Oh how I need you

I'm coming, just give me time! I'M NOT GIVING UP!
"If he gives up I don't have to witness it…" I could tell she was crying. No Gabby, don't cry, don't leave…no it's not long, wait for me!

Comatose
I'll never wake up without an overdose of you

Then I heard my mom. "If you want to you can…I won't keep you here."
MOM! Make her stay, please.
I heard some muffled footsteps, she was still in the room, I could hear her sniff…oh god. She needed to stay! GABBY HEAR ME! I need you!

I felt her leave the room. NO! No she couldn't!

"GABBY!"

Suddenly I heard myself trying to shout, but I began to caught, something was in my throat. My eyes searched the room, everything was blurry and my head hurt.

Breathing life
Waking up
My eyes open up

"Troy!" It was Gabby, she had stayed. I felt her grab my hand, I closed my eyes again as someone began to get her away from me. NO, they couldn't take her!

Comatose
I'll never wake up without an overdose of you

It all turned quiet, I kept my eyes closed. No, I couldn't have left them again. They had enough to deal with me! I need all of them. Gabby, Chad, my mom and Nick!

Suddenly I felt a burning sensation in my throat, I opened my eyes again. There were people surrounding me, people I didn't know…I felt two stitches in my arm, maybe syringes…
When they finished with pulling a tube out of my throat I felt them slip a mask over my face. I closed my eyes, I felt exhausted again…No, I couldn't fall asleep or anything. – I wanted to see Gabby.
Then I felt someone brush over my head, I opened my eyes again and saw Gabby smiling through tears at my, while my mom continued to brush my hair away. Chad and Nick were standing with them. My vision was still blurred but I could tell they were happy as well…

"I love you…" I could tell my voice was raspy and barely above a whisper…My mom frowned and Gabby smiled. Yes I really did…

Oh how I adore you
Waking up to you never felt so real
Oh how I thirst for you
Waking up to you never felt so real
Oh how I adore you
Ohh
The way you make me feel, waking up to you never felt so real

Gabby's POV

He was here again. Finally, he hadn't given up. I smiled as I sat down and took his hand again. It didn't feel lifeless anymore, it wasn't cold. He was here.

An oxygen mask was still fixed to his face but his skin had started to return to its original tan.

The machine was beeping a bit faster than before, again reassuring me he was there and won't leave anymore.

I looked in his eyes and my smile fell a bit. He looked dazed and the smile on his face seemed weird. It seemed as if she believed it all happened for entertaining reasons as he continued to grin like that.

"Troy, this isn't funny, I'm glad you're awake, but you don't have to grin like that." I was serious but his smile didn't fell. Lucille looked at me and I shrugged my shoulders angry. How could he think it was funny?!

Then the doctor re-entered the room and noticed my angry face and the huge and stupid grin of Troy. And Lucille wasn't looking pleased with her son's reaction as well.

"Well, I guess you might have noticed he isn't himself. We gave him morphine and a sedative. Otherwise it would be too painful for him. His ribs are sprained and the cuts and bruises. So don't worry if he's acting weird." He smiled a bit at us and then left again.

Well, that explained his behavior…

I looked back at him, tightening my grip on his hand and felt him flinch slightly. "Hey, I'm not going to hurt you." I whispered to him and felt him nod lazily. His smile had fallen and his eye lids were heavy and he was about to shut them. It must've been exhausting to fight. YES! He had been fighting! He hadn't given up! That was him…

"Il…ovvee-e yoooui! He slurred some words as his mind went back to sleep. Lucille pushed the covers up a bit. "Go to sleep hunny, you need it." I nodded at her words. "Rest a while…"

He nodded lazily again. I giggled and kissed his cheek lightly, he had his eyes already closed. I watched a few more minutes while Lucille and Nick left to get something to eat. Chad stood up and walked to me and Troy, whose breathing had already evened out.

"So…you heard it." He grinned at me and I felt myself blush. Yes, he had said it. Those three words no one would say in vain.
"I love you too, baby…" I whispered as I brushed his hair back.

Aww…Troy finally woke up. YAY! And he said those sweet words to her…
Will they FINALLY become a couple and when will Troy talk to the police?
What will happen if he doesn't? What about Sarah's babies?
