My dad went to ask the doctor if they could see me, the doctor said she is in the ICU, so you have to wear scrubs, and don t talk too much my dad said okay.. then he went and told them all, and they all got dressed and entered, first my mum came and stared at me for a while with tears in her eyes, my face wasn t the same, I was pale, and bruised, and I had a bandage over my head, it was a harsh scene on her, one that broke her heart.

Then my dad took my hand and kissed it, and said I miss you baby girl.. then monica looked at me for a while then she couldn t take that scene so she ran out of the room, and chad followed her. Troy took a few steps towards me, and he bent on his knees next to my bed, and he moved his finger against my face trying to remember how it felt, and he whispered in my ear I am here gabriella.. I am.. SO sorry! Please open your eyes gabby.. don t leave me now.. I am right next to you.. can you feel me? Can you hear me? Open your eyes and smile at me.. please don t give up! Then mrs. Bolton came and pulled him up and then she hugged him and said come on baby.. hang on.. then she kissed me on the cheek, and told them all that they should leave me to rest, my mum really didn t want to leave, but the nurse said she had to give me some medicines through my IV and she had to change the bandages, so they had to leave anyway.
The nurse closed the curtains, and a few moments later they heard a sound of a horn coming from my room, and nurses and doctors running to my room, so they ran after them to find that I crashed and the doctor had to revive my heart, my mum was looking through my window saying please God don t take her away! Oh God please! Fight baby girl fight! monica was crying while chad was hugging her, and troy troy was standing staring at my almost dead body, watching me struggle to cling to life, with tears falling from his eyes without even feeling it. It has been 15 minutes and the doctors are still trying but almost giving up, my mum was falling to the ground and my dad falling with her, mrs. Bolton was just clinging to troy s arm trying to give him strength. Troy couldn t take it anymore, so he ran into the room, pushed the doctors and whispered in my ears wake up! Open your fuckin eyes gabby! Come on! I can t do this without you! Please gabriella please! then the doctors pulled him back and tried for 2 more times but it didn t work. As they were giving up, they tried one last time and it worked! There was a faint pulse but it was there! When troy made sure my heart was beating, he ran out of the hospital without talking to anyone.

A while later chad followed him, he found him standing infront of the hospital s exit, chad put his hand on troy s shoulder and said are you okay man? troy didn t even answer, but chad saw tears falling on his face, so he faced him, and just kept staring at him, then he said she fought it troy.. she is going to be okay.. troy still didn t answer, so chad just hugged him, so tight, a while later troy started weeping and saying look at her! She is so hurt! God she is letting go! I love her! chad said she is not letting go yet! She fought it troy! Her heart is still beating! She is a survivor troy! Come on man! You are not going to be alone! troy cried for a while, then he pulled himself together and they both entered the hospital again. When mrs. Bolton saw troy she ran towards him and just hugged him because she knew he needed it. Then they both sat next to my parents, and chad kissed monica and sat next to her.

The next month my parents spent with me at the hospital, no change what so ever, occasionally switching turns with troy, monica and mrs. Bolton just to go home and get some rest. They were emotionally drained, all of them, the doctors once made a suggestion that they remove the machines and let me die peacefully, but ofcourse the idea was rejected but it killed them inside. One month and 3 days after what happened, monica was with me in my room, and my mum went home to change and return, monica was holding my hand and talking to me, when she felt my fingers moving in her hand, she stood up and said gabriella! Gabriella wake up! Come on open your eyes! and I was gradually opening my eyes and moan, so she pressed the button to call the nurse who came running and called the doctor! The doctor examined me and then said welcome back gabriella.. monica called my mum and dad who came running, then she called chad who called troy.
An hour after I woke up, they were all surrounding me except for troy, my mum cried a lot when she saw me but she was happy, my dad kept sitting next to me the whole time, chad gave me a long hug, and even mrs. Bolton was very emotional. I was happy that they were with me, but I really missed troy, but I thought after all that had happened he probably didn t care enough. They talked to me and told me what had happened while I was sick, then as we were talking troy came into the room, he kept staring at me without saying a word, I looked at him when he first entered but then I faced the wall, but they all excused themselves to leave us alone, so troy slowly approached me and said are you okay? I said yeah thank you.. he said okay.. good.. I still wasn t facing him, but suddenly I found him running towards me and hugging me tight! I missed his touch so much! But I didn t forget what had happened, so after the hug I said don t worry about me.. I am okay.. then he said I was so worried gabby! I looked at him in anger so he realized he said gabby so he corrected himself and said I mean gabriella.. then I turned around again. He just sat there without talking, then monica came in and sat next to me on the bed, she was looking at troy awkwardly, then troy said okay I will wait outside and he left. I then hugged monica because I needed it so bad! Then she said gabriella.. the police are waiting for you to ask you a few questions.. I said no monica.. I don t know what to tell them.. monica said who did it gabriella? I looked at her not knowing whether I should say the truth or not.. but then I realized I couldn t carry that burden alone so I said mr. Bolton.. she gasped and said oh my God! He did that? I nodded with tears in my eyes and said he wasn t himself monica.. he was so drunk.. he was brutal! she held my hand and said oh my God when troy finds out.. I said he shouldn t! that is why I don t know what to do.. monica said but he have to! His father must be punished! I said monica I know troy.. knew troy.. he would blame himself, and I don t want him to live with that guilt! she smiled at me and said you still love him don t you? I said yeah I guess.. I mean I am broken hearted.. but I can t hate him! she kissed me on the cheek and said okay, I will deal with the police I thanked her and when she got to the door she found troy standing, she said troy, since when where you here? he said since the beginning! so she looked at me in fear and troy just ran away. I told her to tell chad to follow him quickly before he does something stupid! And chad ran after him, then my dad came and saw how scared I was so he went with them too, and monica just sat with me and hugged me while I cried.
