You guys are so mean! When I first set the goal, I thought that it would give me a good three, four days to write. But then when I checked my account on Tuesday, there were already 174! And now, you guys are making me feel bad for not being able to update faster. God, when will torturing the author end?!? Haha. This would've been up then, but I was behind on a lot of the schoolwork, and I had to catch up with the curricular. Okay, you don't really need to hear my problems, so here's the next chapter. (:

Who's That Girl

Chapter 13- Brokenhearted

Nobody's POV-

"You bitch!"

Gabriella looked up, and saw a red faced Stacey hovering over her. She clutched her stinging cheek in anger, as she pushed the blonde in front of her, out of her face.

"What the fuck was that for?" she yelled angrily, as Stacey smirked.

"Melanie." She answered in a 'duh' tone, as she turned around. "Zeke!" she called. He appeared from the corner, and grabbed Gabriella by her wrists, immediately making her wince, and yelp in pain.

"What are you doing?!?" she exclaimed, frantically trying to get him to let go.

"Just come with us Montez." Zeke stated coldly, as his grip on her tightened. She reluctantly walked along with them. When Stacey was preoccupied, with filing her nails, he leaned down to Gabriella, and started to whisper in her ear.

"Why'd you do it Gabs?" he questioned, as her face scrunched up in confusion.

"Do what?" she replied.

"Hurt Melanie." He claimed, as he leaned up again. Gabriella took a moment to think about, and was contemplating on telling him the truth or not. She opened her mouth to talk again, but was interrupted, when they abruptly stopped from walking any further. She soon felt another slap to the face, as soon as Zeke had let go of her. She looked up, and saw Taylor looking at her disappointedly and angrily.

"Why does everyone keep on slapping me?!?" Gabriella asked rhetorically, throwing her hands up in the air, as Sharpay came up to her.

"Look." The blonde stated blankly, as she motioned to her right. Gabriella turned her head. Her heart started to crack, and tears weld up in her eyes, as she saw the sight in front of her. Melanie was bawling and crying her eyes out, as Chad had his arms around her, rubbing her back, in a brotherly way. She listened to him comfort Melanie, the same way he used to do for her.

"It's okay Little Sis," he told her. "It's going to be okay. Everything is going to be okay."

She took a deep breath as she held in her tears, and turned back to Sharpay and Taylor. "Is that supposed to mean something to me?" she asked in a monotonous tone, glaring at them, as they scoffed.

"You did that to her." Sharpay stated, shaking her head, as she walked over to Melanie, and comforted her.

"What the hell is wrong with you Gabriella? Can't you get over yourself for one second, and stop hurting all of the innocent people?!?" Taylor exclaimed, taking a step closer to Gabriella, as she scoffed.

"I only hurt her! Nothing else. It was only a freaking punch to her stupid nose!" She argued, as Taylor snorted, shaking her head.

"You did more than that. You hurt all of us. What happened to the Gabriella we knew and loved?" she inquired sadly, as Gabriella took a step back, looking towards the ground.

"She's still here." She whispered, as she looked up at the girl in front of her again. "I'm still here." She stated, and pointed to herself. "Don't you get it Taylor?! I didn't do anything, but punch her! Everything else, was all her fault!" she exclaimed angrily, as she pointed to the blonde.

"Yeah right. Like you can explain that." Taylor told her sarcastically. Gabriella nodded her head.

"That's the thing, I can. You just have to let me!"

"Fine. Go, I'm all ears." Taylor claimed, as she held her hands up in defeat. "In fact; everyone, gather around. Get ready to be amused. Montez, is going to tell us how this was all Melanie's fault." She finished, rolling her eyes. The rest, except for Chad and Melanie, came over, and surrounded Gabriella, all of them sending looks of hatred to her. Sighing, she told them exactly what Melanie had told her earlier. At the moment she finished, everyone had a look of disbelief on their faces, as Melanie simply cried louder.

"You expect us to believe that?" Sharpay asked coldly.

"What a stupid lie that was." Jason stated, shaking his head. "We thought you were better than that Gabriella." Initial shock became her facial expression, but soon enough, sadness started to take over. 'They still don't believe me…' she thought.

"It's true though!" she argued, falling down to her knees, looking at the ground, her eyes builded up with tears. The rest looked at her hopelessly.

"No, it's not. Stop being such a liar, Gabriella. It's pathetic on you." Ryan hissed.

"Why won't you guys believe me?!?" she asked. "I didn't do anything. It was all HER!!!" she yelled furiously slamming her hands on the ground.

"Yeah right. Get out of our lives Gabriella. She didn't do anything." Zeke stated apathetically, as he shook his head sadly at her.

"Yes she did! You have to believe me!" Gabriella argued, as she looked up. Jason snorted.

"No, we don't. And we never will." He retorted, annoyed.

"But I'm your best friend. We've known each other since we were in diapers! Are you just going to believe some girl who walked into our lives just a couple week ago?!?" she questioned, as tears started to trail down her face, as she took in a deep breath. "I can't believe you guys. You're supposed to be my friends. You're supposed to have my back. Not hers!" Taylor rolled her eyes.

"Were." She stated. "You were one of our best friends. But that was before you proved that you're not. Meanwhile, with Melanie, we may have had a rough start with her, but she's proved herself to be a better person than you." Taylor finished, as Gabriella shook her head.

"It's all a lie though! There's not real about her! Once I'm out of the way, she'll just turn her back on you guys too." She told them stubbornly.

"No, she won't. She will not stab us in our backs, like you did." Sharpay stated, shaking her head. Gabriella groaned.

"But I didn't. I didn't do anything wrong. What do I have to do to make you guys believe me?!?" she asked, running her both of her hands through her hair, and clutching it.

"Nothing. You've already made yourself loud and clear. You're untrustworthy to us." Taylor said sternly.

"It-it wasn't me though." She stuttered, as her voice started to break. "Melanie-" she started, but was cut off by Sharpay's scoffing.

"It's one thing to feed your lies to Kelsi. It's another to be a two faced person to us, but blaming it on Melanie? That's just low Montez." Sharpay told her coldly, as she rolled her eyes.

"What did she ever do to you?" she asked rhetorically. "Oh, I'll answer that. Nothing. She didn't do anything to you. You're just trying to take her down with you." The blonde finished icily.

"I'm not! I'm actually telling the damn truth!" Gabriella yelled desperately, as Sharpay rolled her eyes.

"You know what? Just go die Gabriella! None of us will care." She stated blankly, crossing her arms on her chest, and rolling her eyes. Gabriella blinked back her tears carefully, as opened her mouth to speak.

"Maybe I will…" she said quietly, as her voice trembled.

"Great! Then we could all live happily ever after." Sharpay exclaimed, as she smirked. Gabriella sighed tearfully, as she went over to the still crying Melanie. She wiped her tears, and blinked back any new ones that were appearing, as she took in a deep breath.

"Congratulations Melanie." She started, as she sniffled. "You've won. You've taken everything I have, from me." Gabriella stated, shaking her head, as she walked away.

Gabriella walked up the pathway, and into her house. Before closing the door, she leaned down, and took the spare key from under the welcome mat. She threw it on the coffee table in the living room, and went upstairs. She walked down the hallway, and into her parents' room. She traveled inside of their bathroom, and looked inside of the medicine cabinet.

She found the two things she was looking for; a bottle of sedative pills, and another one of her dad's razors. She walked out of her parents' bathroom, down the hallway, and into her room. She set her two items on her dresser, as she pulled out the last drawer. She took out a scrapbook that she and her friends had made, and still added to every once in a while.

She sat on the floor, and looked through all of the wonderful memories they had together. Tears built up in her eyes again, blurring her vision. She let the tears fall, and she continued to flip through the pages. She stopped on the next empty page in the book, as she looked in the next drawer, and took out her diary. Gabriella took off her locket and bracelet from the drawer, and attached them together. She opened the compartment in the back of her diary, and took out a picture. It was one of her and the whole gang. Just about a week before Melanie came along.

She sighed as she quickly stuck it in the scrapbook, and wrote something on the bottom of the page. She then locked the diary again. She threw both things onto her bed, and threw her locket and bracelet on the window of her balcony. She walked back to her dresser, and took the pills and razor in her hands. She went inside her bathroom, and popped the whole bottle in her mouth. She swallowed them dry. She took the razor, and started to cut herself again.

She felt all of her energy being drained from her, as the blood poured out, and leaked onto the floor. Her eyelids started to become heavier, as her vision started to blur. She used as much of her energy she had left, and focused her attention on the picture of her and the gang, on her dresser. It being the last thing she saw. As she slipped into the blackness, and the state of unconsciousness, she heard a faint knocking downstairs.

-------

"Gabi! It's me, Kelsi. Open up!" Kelsi exclaimed, while knocking on the door in front of her.

"Gabi… Gabriella?!?" she yelled, as she continued to knock on the door. She rang the doorbell, and still no response. Her eyes widened in realization that Gabriella might've cut herself again. Many horrible thoughts raced through her head. 'Oh God. Not now! We were so close to fixing it!' she thought in her head, as she frantically tried to find the spare key that was usually hidden under the welcome mat.

"Damn it! It's not there." she cursed under her breath. "What am I going to do now?!?" she asked herself, as she searched her head for any solutions. Suddenly, one perfect idea came to her.

"Troy!" she exclaimed, she took out her cell phone, and immediately called him.

"Hello?" he greeted. She sighed out of relief.

"Troy! You've got to help me." She stated.

"Why, what's wrong?" he questioned curiously.

"I'm at Gabi's house, and she's not answering the door." She answered, as she started to pace around.

"So? She might not be home." He replied. She stopped pacing abruptly.

"No! She knew that I was coming over. She would never just leave without telling me." Kelsi argued.

"Use the spare key under the welcome mat." Troy told her, as she sighed annoyed.

"I already did that Troy. It's not there! That's why I'm calling you." She stated. "God, sometimes you're dumber than Jason and Chad combined." She muttered under her breath.

"Ahem, I heard that." He said. "I just don't get why you need me. Just call her or something." He suggested, as she hit herself on the forehead.

"Ughh, I've already tried that too." He opened his mouth to reply, but she interrupted him.

"And before you asked, yes I have knocked and rang the doorbell. I just need you to climb up her balcony, and see if she's in there or not. I swear; I have this gut feeling that something bad happened." She confessed, as he sighed.

"I'll be over in a few." He replied, as he hung up.

Kelsi sat down on the steps in front of the Montez house impatiently. Four minutes later, and after multiple texts, all consisting of the words 'hurry' and 'up', Troy finally arrived. Kelsi ran over to him, and dragged him over towards the back yard.

"Jeez, what's the rush Kelsi?" he asked her, jokingly.

"Just go already!" she exclaimed, as she shoved him closer to the tree. Troy rolled his eyes, as he mumbled under his breath.

"I'm going; I'm going Miss Bossy Pants…"

Troy climbed up the tree expertly, carefully maneuvering over any new branches or leaves that had grown since he was last there. He finally reached the banister of the balcony, as he carefully jumped over the railing. He regained his balance, as he looked through the windows. No one was inside. But from under the bathroom door, was a light.

He quietly opened the door, and heard a small clinking noise. He looked down to see what made it, but he didn't see anything but leaves on the floor. He simply shrugged it off, as he made his way inside her room. He looked around, and heard a quite thump from inside the bathroom. He panicked, thinking that she would catch him, and be even angrier with him. He quickly ran out of her room, and down the stairs to open the door for Kelsi.

"Is she here?" Kelsi queried immediately, as he nodded.

"Yeah, I heard a noise from the bathroom upstairs."

"Was it shuffling or something?" she questioned.

"No, more like a thud on the ground or something." He answered, shrugging.

"Oh god… Come on Troy!" she ushered, as she pulled him by his arm, up the stairs. He looked at her with questioning eyes.

"Whoa, what are you doing? She's going to catch us!" he exclaimed, as she sighed.

"No she won't." she explained, as he looked at her weirdly.

"Why not?" he asked, as they reached Gabriella's room. She let go of him, as she went to the bathroom.

"Because…" She trailed off, as she opened the bathroom door. Her eyes widened in shock, and horror.

"Because what?" he asked, as he walked in after her, stopping dead in his tracks.

"Oh my god!" His eyes widened in shock, as he felt his heart stop, and himself paling. He looked at Gabriella lying on the floor, covered in blood. Beside her, were a blood-streaked razor, and an empty bottle of sleeping pills. He kneeled down beside the brunette; he shook her gently.

"Brie? Brie?" he called, as he sat her up on his lap. Blood started to trickle from Gabriella, as it seeped into his own clothing.

"Wake up Gabi!" Kelsi cried, as she started to sob uncontrollably, and hiccup. She kneeled down beside them, as Troy shook his head in disbelief.

"Brie, stop playing. It's not funny!" he exclaimed frustrated, as tears started to build up in his eyes.

"God, you're scaring us. Stop joking around Gabi!" Kelsi yelled angrily, as she slammed her hands down on the countertop. There still wasn't a slight response from her. Troy started to shake, as he lowered his hand down, and gripped her wrist in it. He felt around for a pulse, and sighed in relief when he found one.

"K-Kelsi, we have to get her to a hospital. I can still feel a small pulse." He told her.

Will they get her there in time? You'll see soon enough. (:
