Chapter 14
Gabriella sighed deeply as she waited by Troy's hospital bed. She was sitting in the hard chair that was next to it. She had been in here next to him for a few minutes and he still hadn't woken up yet since he had had his surgery. This was her first time seeing him since then. She now kept gazing at him as she sat there, wishing more than anything that he would wake up at that moment.
She reached over and she suddenly squeezed his hand, "Come on baby," She whispered, a single tear was falling down from one her eyes, "I want to see those beautiful blue eyes of yours. It's been way to long since I've looked into your eyes."
She closed her eyes and let out another sigh when he didn't respond at all to her. She opened her eyes and looked him over. His eyes were still closed as she looked at him. Oh God, she just wished he would wake up!
Suddenly, out of nowhere, she started to sing a very familiar song to him that they both knew extremely well. She looked directly at him as she started to sing the song.
We're soarin', flyin'
There's not a star in heaven
That we can't reach
If we're trying
So we're breaking free
You know the world can see us
In a way that's different than who we are
Creating space between us
'Til we're separate hearts
But your faith it gives me strength
Strength to believe
We're breakin' free
We're soarin'
Flyin'
There's not a star in heaven
That we can't reach
If we're trying
Yeah, we're breaking free
Oh, we're breakin' free
Ohhhh
Her eyes away drifted from his for a couple of seconds. She suddenly let out a huge gasp however as she realized that he was softly singing along with her to the last couple of lines of the song. There voices were now blending together. She felt so happy to be hearing his voice sing to her. She just loved to hear the sound of his voice.
She immediately looked up to notice that he was awake and looking directly into her eyes. Her eyes lit up as she noticed he was. Relief immediately flooded through her as her eyes met his. A few more tears started to fall down her face as she gazed at him. She felt so happy to know he was looking at her. A smile was on his face as his blue eyes continued to look back at her brown eyes.
"Oh, we're breaking free. Ohhh," he softly sang the last few lines again by himself as he gazed at her lovingly.
A huge smile suddenly grew on her face. She just felt so incredibly happy to finally be able to see those blue eyes that she loved so much, "Oh my gosh- Troy!!! Oh my Gosh! You're- You're awake! Oh thank god!" she immediately threw her arms around him and embraced him, feeling so happy as she did. She made sure to be gentle as she embraced him. She lightly stroked his hair a little and kissed his forehead a few times before she pulled away. She smiled happily at him, "You're going to be okay, sweetie!"
He suddenly let out a painful groan. He then flinched a little. She worriedly eyed him but he continued to gaze at her, "I- I'm so glad we are both going to be okay." he paused for a moment, he then took a deep breath, "And we're also finally free. That is what we both are Gabi, finally free!"
"At last," she smiled at him, "Thank god we made it out of there together! I don't know what I would of done if we didn't," she leaned into kiss his forehead again. She suddenly gazed at him after she pulled away, she lightly squeezed his hand and kissed it lovingly, "How are you feeling right now?"
"Not the greatest right now," Troy admitted to her. He winced in pain all of a sudden. She looked at him in concern, but he smiled a little, he took another breath, "I think I'll be fine though," he tried to reassure her. He gazed at her suddenly, "How are you feeling?"
She looked at him and gave him a reassuring smile. She took a deep breath, "I've been checked out earlier Troy. I'm okay."
He had a rather relieved look on his face. He smiled happily, "Thank God that you are okay."
She smiled a little, before reaching over to hold his hand. She held it tightly, " Oh Troy, I am so unbelievably happy and relieved to know that you are awake and that your going to be okay!"
"How could I sleep when someone who sounds like an angel was singing to me?" he gazed at her with a loving smile, and she blushed a little, "You sound like an angel when you sing, you know that?"
She just laughed and smiled at him, "I love you, Troy Bolton," he told him suddenly, "I love you so unbelievably much."
He smiled back at her, "And I love you, Gabriella Montez. I love you so, so, so much!" they both then just smiled at each other happily.
At that moment they both felt so happy to be finally free. They felt so incredibly happy to be free.
