Author's Note: Ok, I'm so sorry for the long wait for an update. I've been really busy. I get out of school on Tuesday which is awesome! Well, I've guess with all the reviews (thanks for those!) that this has been what people have been waiting for. Oh if you didn't notice then the last chapter had chapter one in it. So yeah…well here's chapter 11, I don't know if this is the last chapter or not, we'll see. Enjoy!
"Well, before they come I just want to take care of some unfinished business." He said lifting the bat up again. Again before the bat could make contact with me Mark was stopped by Troy tackling him to the ground. I screamed again in shock and in fear. The scene before me was all too shocking, one minute they were rolling everywhere with the knife dangerously close to Troy and then the next everything was silent and there was no movement.
"Oh my God! Troy!" I screamed.
I crawled over to where they were both laying, Troy was on the top while Mark was on the bottom. I lightly shook Troy, afraid that I might hurt him if I used too much force.
"Troy? Please wake up." I said crying softly. I was still trying to get him up when I heard sirens and that's when Mark pushed Troy's body off of his, and pulling the knife out of Troy and then giving me a death glare. I thought that he was going to kill me right then and there but he just looked at Troy and ran out of the room. I was trying to turn Troy over when I stopped because I heard a whole bunch of commotion coming from downstairs.
"Police!" I heard someone call from downstairs.
I sighed in relief. I stopped trying to move Troy, not wanting to hurt him. My eyes then caught a glimpse of red. I looked down to see my hands covered in blood- Troy's blood.
"Help me, please!" I screamed. In a few seconds paramedics came upstairs, with a gurney, and Officer Bailey came rushing into my room.
"Gabriella, are you alright?" He asked running towards me.
"I am, but Troy's not." I said pointing to Troy's limp body on the floor. The paramedics quickly started to work on Troy.
"Alright, we have to get him to hospital now!" Shouted a paramedic and he and the other lifted Troy on the gurney, lifting it up and taking him downstairs.
"What's wrong with him and where's my mom!" I shouted getting off the floor and following them downstairs.
"The knife went so deep in side of him that he's losing too much blood quickly. If we don't get him to the hospital soon then he may die. You're mom is already on her way to the hospital. She's unconscious but she's going to be ok." The paramedic said putting Troy in the ambulance.
"I'm riding with him." I said climbing in the back with them. I sat down on the side and grabbed Troy's hand starting to cry.
"Miss, I need you to give me as much information as possible ok." He asked and I just nodded.
"What's his name?"
"Troy Bolton," I answered not looking away from Troy.
"Age?"
"17." I said with tears still freely falling. He must have figured that I didn't feel like talking much so he stopped.
"I'll get the rest of the stuff later from his parents." He said and my mind clicked. I forgot to call his parents. We were at the hospital a few minutes later and I gave Troy a kiss goodbye before they took him to surgery. I sighed and walked up to the nearest pay phone and dialed Troy's house number. It rang a few times before his dad answered.
"Hello," He said groggily.
"Mr. Bolton, it's me Gabriella." I said.
"Gabriella what's going on? Why are you calling so late?" He asked.
"It's Troy. He's in the hospital." I said and I knew that Mr. Bolton was wide awake now.
"What happened? Is he alright?" He asked panicking.
"No, he's in surgery right now. He was stabbed." I said starting to cry.
"Alright. We'll be there shortly. Stay put ok?" He said to me and then he hung up and I did the same.
"Why is this happening to me?" I whispered to myself. Troy might die and I'm sitting here alive and well. I deserve to be in his position. If I hadn't called for his help then none of this would have happened. I walked to sit in one for the dingy hospital chairs and waited for Troy's parents. About 10 minutes later a frantic looking Mr. and Mrs. Bolton came running into the emergency room and ran up to me.
"Gabriella!" Mrs. Bolton shrieked and gave me a quick hug.
"I'm so sorry! I didn't mean for any of this to happen!" I said sobbing.
"Gabriella, sweetheart, start from the beginning." Mrs. Bolton said in a motherly tone.
"Mark, my mom's boyfriend, tried to kill my mom and I tonight. I got away and locked myself in my room. I called Troy for help and he told me to call the police and wait for him. When Mark broke into my room he almost killed me but Troy got there in time and they both started tackling each other and then all I remember was silence and then Mark getting up and leaving Troy for dead! I'm sorry!" I cried once again and Mrs. Bolton just wrapped me in a hug and Mr. Bolton just stared in space. We were interrupted by someone clearing their throat. She let go of me and I turned to see a doctor who looked around his mid- thirties.
"Hi, I'm Doctor Davis." He said.
"I'm Susan Bolton, my husband Jack and Troy's girlfriend Gabriella Montez." Mrs. Bolton said.
"Nice to meet you all, so Miss Montez lets start with you. Your mother she has suffered minor injuries and she will be alright, which surprises me because she hasn't really fully recovered from her recent injuries." I sighed in relief but then my mind went right to Troy.
"What about Troy?" Mr. Bolton asked.
"Well, Troy just got out of surgery and he is sleeping now because if the anesthetics we gave him. Luckily we closed up his stabbed wound before he lost way too much blood. He's going to be ok. He was very lucky; if he hadn't gotten here as soon as he did then we could have lost him in the OR." Doctor Davis explained and we all sighed in relief.
"Thank God!" Mrs. Bolton cried.
"Can we see him?" Asked Mr. Bolton.
"Yes, of course, he's in room 205." He said.
"What about my mom?"
"She's in room 211." He answered.
"Alright. I'll come by and see Troy in a little bit." I said to his parents and we walked to their rooms. They turned into Troy's room and I went a little further to my mom's room. When I got in there she was wide awake.
"Mom! I'm so glad that you're alright. I can't believe that he did this again." I said bending down to give her a hug.
"I can't believe it either." She said. We were then interrupted by Officer Bailey coming into the room.
"Hi, Gabriella and Isabella." He said.
"Officer Bailey, where's Mark?" I asked frantically. I needed to know.
"Well, he tried to get away in his car but other police cars cornered him and he is now in jail."
"Good. I hope that he gets everything he deserves." I said.
"He will, we will charge him with everything we can." Officer Bailey said putting his hand on my shoulder to comfort me. We were once again interrupted but this time by a nurse and it was the same one from a week ago.
"Miss Montez, hi I'm Rebecca I was you and your mom's nurse last week." She greeted.
"Yes, I remember you." I said smiling.
"Well, last week we gave you a STD test and the results are back." She said holding a piece of paper in her hands. "Shall we go to a private place?"
"No, just tell me." I said swallowing the big lump that was forming in my throat.
"Ok, well we tested you for Gonorrhea, Herpes, HIV and syphilis and you tested negative for all four." She told me and I silently thanked God. I don't know what I would have done if I had contracted a social disease.
"Well, I'll be back in a bit to check on you Isabella." Rebecca said before leaving and soon after Mr. and Mrs. Bolton came into the room.
"Gabriella, we thought that you should have some time with Troy now." Mrs. Bolton said.
"Is your son awake?" Asked Officer Bailey.
"No, he isn't. Why do you need to speak wit him." Said Mr. Bolton.
"Yes, we need a statement from him. But I'll wait until tomorrow or whenever he wakes up. Gabriella, I'm going to head back down to the station. I'll talk to you tomorrow. Get well soon Isabella and tell Troy I said the same." He said before leaving.
"So, mom, I'm going to go and see Troy. I'll be right back, ok?" I said looking at her. She nodded at me and I walked out of the room with Troy's parents following me.
"We'll be in the waiting room if you need us." Mrs. Bolton said before they left me alone. I walked over to the chair next to Troy's bed and sat down. I took his hand in mine and kissed it softly.
"God, I'm so sorry Troy." I whispered to him. He didn't say anything back. I felt the sleep taking over me so I climbed into his bed next to him, careful not to hurt him.
"I love you, Troy." I said before falling asleep.
