Chapter 15: All Be Fine

Troy's POV

I was still thinking over everything Helen had said. So Gabriella was my girlfriend. I was glad that was settled. I much preferred her to the blonde girl, what was her name again, Colleen I think. Sighing I looked at the clock. I know my parents had somehow convinced the nurse staff that our friends should be able to come and go at all hours, meaning that the gang may come by even though it's after hours.

I sighed, I was bored. I looked around the room again, my eyes lit up when I realized that Gabriella had left her bag of photo albums. Standing up, I wavered slightly from a head rush, before I walked across the room to the small table that had the Xbox on it and picked up the bag. I carried it back over to my bed to sit down and look through it all.

I didn't hear the door open so I was surprised when I felt someone tugging my sweatpants up. Spinning around in shock, I was faced with the bright smile of Gabriella.

She giggled her sweet musical laugh, "You never pull your pants up Wildcats." She shook her head, "I have to do it for you so Darbus won't give you detention. Now it's become a habit." She laughed again, a bright smile on her face.

"Sorry to be a problem." She twisted her face slightly in mock anger, I threw my arm over her shoulder, "How's your head?" I asked.

She let out a content sigh at the contact between our bodies, and I wasn't about to lie, it felt right, "It's much better. Thanks Troy."

I nodded, "Come on, let's go through these albums." I played a pout on my face and she giggled, allowing me to lead her to the bed. I climbed up and patted the spot next to me. She gave a full on grin before climbing up and tucking her body neatly into mine. We fit. It was weird, but true.

"So where do you want to start Wildcat?" She asked.

I looked over at her, "Where did that nickname come from Gabriella?"

I felt her tense slightly, it was probably because I used her full name. "Um, I'm not really sure, I just said it one day at lunch. I think I was teasing you about being East High's Golden Boy. It stuck."

"And when did I start calling you Ella?" I smiled when she smiled.

"The morning after Scott attacked me, I found you and the guys waiting at my locker. You called me Ella and I told you I liked it and you said that was good cause I was stuck with it." She sighed as she leaned her head on my chest. I could tell she was listening to my heartbeat.

I felt my own pulse increase as her hand slipped under my wife beater, skimming over my torso. I closed my eyes at the warm touch of her hand. Pushing the albums off the bed and onto the floor I leaned over her.

She looked up at me slightly shocked. I gave her a smirk, one that made her own breath quicken and her eyes light up, I think she was surprised, in a good way, like she'd been missing it. I tucked a curl behind her ear, letting my fingers linger on her cheek. She closed her eyes at the contact, "Troy…" she whispered my name.

Something triggered in me, I'm not sure what it was, but I leaned down an softly connected our lips. Nothing big, just something sweet and loving. Her hands flew from her side and into my hair, gripping at it, allowing it to slip through her delicate fingers.

I moved my mouth from hers, and let it trail lightly down her jaw line and to her neck. Without any hesitation I placed my lips on her collarbone, sucking lightly and eliciting a delicious moan from her that filled the room. Somehow I knew that was her sensitive spot, the one that brought her the most pleasure. A minute later and I brought my face to hers, our foreheads pressed together as we nuzzled noses.

"Sorry." I mumbled.

She shook her head, "Don't be." She whispered, lightly kissing my mouth. I pulled back and let my hand trace the raised bruised mark on her collarbone. Her back arched slightly. I leaned down and ran my tongue over it, she cried out slightly. When I came back up to look her in the eyes, she had a slightly dazed look, "How does it look?" She asked, her voice was seductive.

I let my fingers linger on it for a moment, before dragging across her chest, "Perfect." I mumbled.

"They always do." She whispered.

I gave her a smile, "They do don't they?" My head shot up, our eyes connecting.

"What did you say?" She asked me, her voice was shaking.

I closed my eyes, "I remember, when we were lying on your bed, and it was the first time I gave you one." I paused, "I remember thinking you'd never looked so beautiful…"

She gave me a smile, "You remember that?"

I cocked my head to the side and nodded, "Yeah…" I thought for a moment, "But that's all I remember."

Her hand traced down my face, "It's a start." She yawned.

I chuckled, "You can stay if you want." She smiled and nodded. I rolled back over to the side and drew her tiny body next to mine. I'd remembered something. It wasn't much, but it was something.

The next morning I woke up and stretched my arm out. I was looking for El's small body. I sighed as I opened my eyes. This always happened. I heard chattering and sat up, "Why is it when I always wake up you're NEVER there?" I whined. "I swear El, when you were staying with me while your mom was in London you were always up before me. Why do you like to be up this early?"

Everyone stared at me. I watched as El's hands flew up. "You remember when I stayed with you? Months ago? And where my mom was?"

I gave her a confused look, "El what the hell are you talking about? Of course I remember that. It was after Scott started messing with you, when you first moved here." I stood up and walked over to her, I began running my hands over her body. "Babe? Are you okay? Is there something wrong with your memory?"

She looked at me confused, "Troy what are you talking about? You haven't known me! We've been going over photo albums." She motioned to the books next to the Xbox on the table. "You were in the accident."

"I know, you're okay right?" I asked her.

"I'm going to get a doctor." I looked up, Jason was walking towards the door.

"Dude, I'm fine. What's your name again?" I scratched my head.

Gabriella let out a scream, "You remember me! It's a huge start!" She wrapped her arms around me. "Now we just have to work on everyone else, she mumbled into my chest.

I looked around the room, "There are so many of you." I muttered. The room laughed, "But yeah dude, I guess you can go get the doctor, but before you do I'm going to remember your name." I paused for a minute, "Jason."

"Right." He gave me a crooked smile before leaving to get a doctor.

Doctor Wells came in, "So you remember Ms. Montez." He nodded, "That's good, it's a good start Troy."

"Doctor Wells?" He turned to look at me, "How come I don't remember not remember Ella?"

"It's common, when this passes over, you'll remember being confused, but you probably won't remember exactly what happened for about a week. Then it will slowly all come back to you." He gave a smile, "And then you'll realize how lucky you are." And he was gone. I nodded and sighed.

"We can do it Troy. I know it. You're amazingly strong." I looked up and smiled at Gabriella.

I held out my hand to her and she came over, climbing on the bed I was now sitting on, "If you're here, then I know it will all be fine." I leaned over and gave her a small kiss.
