Troubles

Chapter7

Chapter 7Troy's POV

I felt my heart pounding against my ribs. I mean what if she wasn't alright? We would never have her here again and the group would break up. The group only started because of her. I looked at the doctor.

"Is she ok?" I asked the Doctor.

"She's fine. We wrapped up her wounds and she'll wake up within a couple of hours. Now I have some questions to ask. Do you know why she would cut herself?" he asked me.

"Well, she's been stressed out, but I don't see it as a reason." I said to him.

"Well it may be. Do you know where her mother is?"

"Uh, she's away on business, but we called her. She's on her way." I said to him, "Wait, can we see her?" I asked him.

"Sure, but she won't be awake. I can't promise you when she'll wake up. She's in room 313." He said walking away.

I turned around and looked at the group. They were sitting there and looking at me. I smiled at them and walked over to them.'

"She's ok. She's just asleep." I said to them.

"Thank god." Sharpay said.

"She's in room 313 if you guys want to go see her." I said. They all stood up and we walked into Gabriella's room. We went into her room and saw the machines. They were tracking her heart beat and her blood pressure etc. her skin was pale and she had a hospital gown on. I went up to her and traced the bandages on her arm.

I don't know what happened, but I felt something in me that got me mad. I looked at the gang and I saw tears in their eyes.

"This is what she did." Taylor said walking up to where I was standing.

We all sat down in chairs and looked at her. She looked so peaceful sleeping. I looked at Chad and I noticed he was crying, well at least he was trying to hold in his tears. He didn't want to cry. He wanted to be strong for Taylor. I closed my eyes and sonly fell asleep.

I woke up to people talking. I opened my eyes and rubbed the. I saw a doctor leaving the room and Gabriella sitting up in bed playing around with her hands. I got p and shook everyone awake as I walked up to her bed.

"Hi." I said to her. She looked at me and smiled.

"Hi."

"Ok, let's cut to the chase. Why did you start cutting?" Chad asked Gabriella.

"Way, to go Chad." Taylor said to him.

"What I want to know what's wrong with her. So forgive me for caring." Chad said to Taylor. He looked at Gabriella and waited for an answer.

"I…um well I was stressed out. I mean with all the work and all." She said to us.

"Well, we could've helped you." Jason said.

"Well, Jason how? Do my school work go to my college programs and go to soccer practice for me and clean my room and do the laundry?" she asked him.

After a few minutes of silence Gabriella asked;

"When can I go home?"

"Well, we don't know, but in your condition not for a while and you might need to go to therapy." Zeke said to her. I just stood there. I didn't even know if I could talk to her. Taylor's cell started to ring.

"Sorry, I'll be right back." Taylor said leaving the room.

"Oh…is my mom on her way?" she asked.

"Yeah we called her, she's on her way." Sharpay said.

"Uh, actually her flight is delayed due to the storms." Taylor said walking back into the room.

"That was her." She said.

"Ok, so it'll take her a day or two to fly home, but the flight being canceled your going to need help." Kelsi said.

"I don't need a babysitter thank you very much." Gabriella said to her.

"Well, after what you did yeah, you do!" Kelsi said back to her and walked out of the room. Jason followed her out of the room.

"I don't get why this is a big deal." Gabriella said to us.

"Well, maybe it's because you had us worried well the boys worried. We being the girls thought that they were being paranoid." Sharpay said.

"Well get over it." she said to them.

"How do you expect us to get over it? We nearly lost a sister!" Chad yelled at her.

"We think of you as a sister Gabriella. It would have killed us if the doctor told us that you were dead!" Chad said walking out of the room. Taylor, Kelsi, Sharpay, Jason and Zeke followed him out of the room.

"So I guess you're mad at me too." Gabriella said to me.

"Why do you think that?" he asked.

"Well, for one your not talking much." She said.

"No, I'm not mad…." I said to her sitting in the chair next to her, "Ok, well maybe I am. I just can't get that picture of you in the bathtub out of my head. I mean the water was reddish, from your….from your blood. I pulled you out and checked for a pulse. You skin was cold and I found a weak one. I saw your wrists and then I saw the bottle of pills. I told them to call an ambulance. Sharpay started crying and all. We thought we lost you Gabriella." I said to her. I looked at her.

"Plus, I wouldn't be able to do this." I said.

Gabriella's POV

I had woken up and the gang was pretty much yelling at me except Troy. I kept looking at him, but he had his head down. Finally the whole gang let the room.

"Plus, I wouldn't be able to do this." He said.

He leaned in and kissed me. Just like that. He pulled away and I opened my eyes. I looked at him.

"Why did you do that?" I asked him.

"Because, I like you." He said to me smiling.

"Oh." I said and he leaned in again and kissed me.

We pulled away and looked at each other.

"So, will you stop? For me?" Troy asked me.

"Yeah, for you." I said…..

A week later I got out of the hospital and my mom was home. I went to therapy twice a week and with the gangs help I was getting better. Except sometimes things got out of hand. For the time being I was A ok.
