Chapter 24

"Troy your coming to Albuquerque aren't you" says Gabriella.

"Course I am babe" says Troy.

"Have you booked a few days off?" asks Gabriella.

"I've booked the week off but we're getting the train" says Troy.

"I wanna go in the car" says Gabriella doing the puppy dog face.

"Ok, get packing" says Troy.

"I'm packed, so are you" says Gabriella.

"Thanks" says Troy.

"Let's go" says Gabriella grabbing the cases.

Troy takes the cases off her and starts walking. Gabriella grabs her bag and follows him out the door, locking up on the way past. Walking to the car, Gabriella runs and jumps onto Troy's back.

"Brie" he complains and she jumps down.

The drive down is very quiet as Gabriella is uncharacteristically quiet. The radio breaks the silence and Troy keeps glancing over at his girlfriend concerned. When they arrive at Gabriella's mum's house in Albuquerque, Maria (Gabriella's mum) opens the door and Gabriella shoots out of the car and past her straight into the bathroom where she immediately starts throwing up. Troy leaps out of his car and runs to look after his girlfriend.

"Keys are in the ignition" Troy says to Maria as he goes past her.

In the bathroom Troy crouches next to Gabriella.

"Baby what's brought this on?" asks Troy.

"Don't know but we can rule out me being pregnant" says Gabriella shooting a look at her mum who is hovering in the doorway.

"I didn't say anything" says her mum defensively.

"There's a stomach bug going round the hospital, maybe you got caught that" says Troy.

"Probably" says Gabriella.

"Maria, could you get me a bucket and a glass of water please?" asks Troy.

Maria nods and goes to the kitchen.

"Does it feel like it's settled?" he asks Gabriella. She nods. Troy picks her up and carries her up to her room.

"I'm going to get your bag and our cases so you can change into something comfy." says Troy.

"Ok, can I wear one of your T-shirts and a pair of sweat pants?" asks Gabriella.

"Sure though you might be a little warm in sweatpants. How about my wildcat shorts?" says Troy.

"And your old Lakers' T-shirt" says Gabriella.

Troy gets the cases while Gabriella goes into the bathroom to get changed before snuggling up in bed next to Troy. She grabs a book and starts reading with him reading over her shoulder.
