3:32AM
'Knock knock knock'
The knocks at the front door awoken a sleeping Gabriella. She got out of bed and put her slippers on and walked to the front door,looked through the peephole and opened it to her surprise on the other end of the door stood two police officers.
"Sorry to disturb you ma'am, are you ms Montez? One of the officers asked her.
"Yes" she said folding her arms over her chest "what can I help you with?"
"We found your address in your baby's diaper bag,she's down at the station we need you to pick her up"
"What...why...is she ok...where's her father?" She asked alarmed praying the answer isn't bad.
"He was in a very bad car accident,ma'am" the other officer said "the baby have been checked out by emts on sight,she's fine"
"Is he okay?" She started shaking frantically
"He hit his head pretty badly and broke his driver side window" officer one said "the car was found over 20 feet front the crash site, two witnesses were driving by and heard your little girl screaming and called us"
"But is he okay!?" She said a little louder
"He fell into a coma,sweetheart he also broke 3 bones in the accident" officer two said
Gabriella heart literally stopped and a single tear fell from her eyes.
"I don't understand...Was he speeding?" She asked them crying
"Not at all ma'am, a drunk driver hit him from the side running a red light"
"Ok give me a second" she wiped her tears "I have to make a few phone calls"
"Of course"
Gabriella walked away from the officers who were now inside as she made a call to her mother. She was panicking so bad.
"Mami hey I'm sorry for waking you, I need to get to the hospital" she spoke with such speed,clarity and fear.
"Mija slow down...what's the matter?...why do you need to go to the hospital?...are you ok? Is Grace ok" Maria asked her trying to calm down
"Mami Grace is down at the police station, I have to pick her up,two officers just knocked on my door telling me Troy and Grace was in a car accident,Grace is fine but Troy...Troy" Gabriella collapsed on the floor in tears.
"Gabi! What's wrong with troy? Is he okay!?"
Gabriella couldn't even form the words,she just kept crying, she could'nt speak the words that Troy fell into a coma and have chances of dying because of his head injury. One of the officers had took over the phone call with ms Montez while the other one calmed Gabriella down.
"You're gonna be ok to drive to get your daughter,ms Montez?" The officer asked her rubbing her back
All she could do was nod her voice was still shaking
"Great. You think you can go and get ready and meet us out here in 10"
"Yes" with that she got up and went into the bedroom and threw on a pair of jeans,a tank top and sneakers and met the two officers outside of her apartment.
Before Gabriella got in her car she had sent a group message to the wildcats and Troy's parents to tell them about him.
"Hey y'all,Troy was in an car accident and fell into a coma at mercy hospital" and put the phone onto her passenger seat.
She drove to the police station to pick up Grace, she never been so happy and so blessed to be holding her daughter when it could've been a lot worse. Gabriella left the hospital and dropped the baby off at Maria's and headed to mercy hospital and greeted the lady at the front desk.
"Hey sweetie what can I do for you" the cheery older lady spoke
"I ummm...I'm looking for...Troy...Troy Bolton" Gabriella spoke quietly
"Ok" the woman said keying his name into her computer "here he is..room 699..in the intensive care unit"
"Okay thank you"with that Gabriella walked away and into the ICU on the 6th floor.
She got to his door and slowly opened it seeing his leg in a cast first.
"Oh God" she said to herself not opening the door any further "God help me" she prayed. Then she continued to open it a little more and walked in. All she could here was his stable breathing and the heart monitor. His head was bandaged from his injury and his arm was in a cast.
"Hey baby" a tear fell from her eyes. "I wish you could hear me...you gave me a scare with this car accident you and Gracie was in, she's fine,she's with my mother right now...but you on the other hand...look at you" she took her right hand and stroked his cheek and then his eyebrow "I'm sorry about that fight we had before you left, I didn't get to say I loved you Troy but I do, you have to come out of this coma,Grace and I need you to be here...please don't leave me, what I wouldn't give to have you wake up for me right now" she sat quietly waiting for his eyes to flicker or flutter...nothing.
She stood up and laid her head down onto his chest to feel his beating heart.
She took off the necklace he gave her back in the summer of their junior year with the 'T' on it with the ruby in the corner and placed it in his hand and closed it.
She then reached in and kissed his lips and said "I love you Troy Bolton" and walked out of the room with full blown tears coming down her face.
2 MONTHS LATER
Troy have not came out of the coma nor did he make any progress but it was still early.
Everyone pretty much from the graduating alumni have came to hospital to drop off flowers and cards for Troy,Gabriella had to take some home with her he had so many, she had also had to keep Lucille consoled,she couldn't handle seeing Troy in that State, so she would stop by her house a lot to see how his parents were doing and to have them spend some extra time with their granddaughter.
"I hate that he is missing out on his daughter's growth" Gabriella said feeling tears fill her eyes "She sprouted 2 teeth, starting to crawl and this morning before I went into her room to nurse her she said Da-da"
"Awww she did!!" Lucille said over elated tickling Grace.
"Yep"
"That's exciting" she told Gabriella
"Yes I love how she's developing, but Troy can't see any of it"
"Video record darling so he'll see it later" Lucille said "the same way y'all do that instabook and Twitter space"
That made Gabriella laugh she needed some lightening.
"Instagram,Facebook,Twitter and MySpace mommy Lucy"
"Whatever girl..that young people stuff that'll get you in trouble"
"I never got into trouble messing with that stuff" Gabriella told her.
"Did you not research all of Troy's profiles liked every picture and gotten pregnant by my son?" Lucille laughed holding Grace in the air for proof while she chewed on her forefinger.
"Yes I did" Gabriella blushed surprisingly that Lucy knew that.
"He used to come home gushing over you, young lady...he would say..."this new Hispanic girl in my class is sooooo cute mom"
"Awwww I miss him" Gabriella said thinking about her memories with Troy.
Gabriella phone began to ring, Lucille took Grace into the kitchen. Gabriella hesitated and she answered her phone.
"Hello...Yes this is she...uh huh...yeah...he is!!...ok I'll be there in 20 minutes...thank you!!" And she hung up.
"Ma Lucy!!" She called her from the kitchen
"Yes sweetie,is everything is ok!"
"That was the doctor They said Troy is awake"
Lucille couldn't form words she just shared back and forth screams with Gabriella alarming Grace into little cries.
"Oh hush baby,let's go see daddy" Gabriella said taking her from Lucille and putting her on her left hip.
