Last Chapter Recap!

Gabriella laid Troy's hand on her palm and stroked the top of his hand. After about 10 minutes of doing that Gabriella felt his hand twitch.

She gasped. "Oh my gosh, his hand just moved."

New Chapter!

"Are you for real!" Taylor practically screamed.

Soon Troy's whole body was shaking and you could tell he was starting to cry. Chad ran to get a nurse. Troy wouldn't wake up or respond to any of their voices. He just lay in the hospital bed thrashing about. Gabriella was really worried. She couldn't help him or do anything for him, she felt like this was her fault. Then Chad came back with the nurse. The nurse took his vitals and got restraints to hold him still. She did test to see if he would respond to pokes and light and whatnots. He responded but not very well.

"I wouldn't be surprised if he woke up soon within in the week even. He's responding to everything but seems to not want to wake up. He's probably afraid of waking up to something bad happening so he's hanging on to that horrible nightmare he seems to be having. He will wake up soon; people who show signs of waking up can't stay unconscious forever. There's still hope." The nurse told them.

Gabriella felt better. He would wake up, he just had to. He would not stop moving. He looked deathly afraid, he was really pale and crying and moving about wildly. Gabriella was really scared. She didn't know what to do. There was no one here that could help him. She just wanted him to wake up and for all this to be over.

One Week Later…

Troy still hadn't woken up and Gabriella hadn't left his side since the night he started twitching. They brought food in for her but she didn't eat a lot of it, she would have a few bites and then move it all around so it looks like she ate more but, everyone knew she didn't really. No one tried to force her though.

It was 2 weeks till school and the trial. Without Troy to make the trial they really didn't have much proof. They had Chad and Gabriella but Troy's bruises and scars and cuts and gashes were evidence not just a word of 2 17 year olds.

Gabriella had finally past out (in the good way) in a hospital chair (those really uncomfy ones) next to Troy. Chad picked her up and brought her home. She hadn't left that hospital in a week and that's not the healthiest place to be for a week, at least not for your mind. He placed her in her bed and left a note saying that he dropped her off and she could come back tomorrow but not until then.

When she woke back up in the middle of the night she found herself in her bed. She got up and looked around she didn't remember coming here and that's when she found the note.

Hey Gabi,

I took you home don't worry you're not losing your mind. I'll stay with Troy tonight. Actually eat something, relax as best you can and just try and get yourself back together. No offense but you've been a mess lately and it cant be healthy not to eat or sleep so just do the best you can and Tay will come and pick you up tomorrow morning at 9. Feel better. I'll call you if anything changes. See you tomorrow.

-Chad.

She accepted it knowing he was just worried about her and then realized Troy wouldn't want her doing this to herself. She ate some, more than she had all week but not a lot. She took a hot shower to calm her nerves and relax. She was home alone because her mom was in a convention out of town so the quietness helped. She continued to lie down and sleep. About 15 minutes into her sleep the nightmares came back. She could remember every beating that he ever gave her. All of them, clear as day, running through her mind, over and over.

She finally woke up from her terrible nightmare. She was all sweaty and out of breath. Gabi took a shower to try and help her calm down. She was still a little shaken when she got out so she grabbed all the pictures she could find of her and the gang.

She sat down and started going through them all. Then an idea hit her. She raced around her house tape and glue and scissors. When she was done getting supplies she sat down surrounding by the pictures, which was huge. Over the last 2 years she decided she wanted to remember everything when she got older so she never stopped taking pictures. She started putting them all around her floor in a random order. She taped it all together and then put it on her wall.

It spelt out friends. She looked at all the pictures. There were ones of Troy and her kissing, Jason reading aloud poems, Kelsie playing piano, Sharpay and Ryan performing, Troy and her at Twinkle Towne, the guys playing basketball, Gabriella and Taylor practicing for the Scholastic Decathlon, Zeke baking, all of them at lunch, them after having a paint war, everything. She had calmed down and went back to bed for a nightmare free sleep. When she had fallen asleep she missed a call from Chad.
