Chapter 31
Gabriella went home after the whole incident. She couldn't believe he had said those things when she knew exactly what it felt to lose your parents. She walked up the driveway and opened the door to see Lisa struggling to carry some stuff.
"What are you doing?" Gabriella asked as she took one of the boxes from her.
"I thought I would find out some of Jacks old basketball stuff to help cheer him up. Where's Troy?" Gabriella looked down. "Did something happen?" Lisa asked as she saw Gabriella's frown.
"Troy and I had an argument." Lisa put the boxes down and indicated for Gabriella to do the same and then they sat on the couch.
"What happened?" Gabriella explained everything to Lisa who looked at Gabriella sympathetically. "I'm sure Troy didn't mean what he said."
"I know. I just wish he wouldn't bottle his emotions up and he would let someone in. I don't care who, me, you, Jack, Chad or any of the others but he isn't." Gabriella had tears rolling down her face. "I miss my mom so much." Lisa pulled Gabriella into a hug and just let her cry. Gabriella had a good cry for a few minutes before she pulled back. "I'm sorry."
"Hey you don't have to be sorry sweetie, just remember if you ever need to talk I'm always here for you even if you and Troy should ever split I'll always be here for you. You've become like a daughter to me." Gabriella smiled as she wiped the last of the tears away.
"Thanks. I promise if I need to talk I'll come to you. I think I'm going to go to bed." Lisa looked at Gabriella concerned.
"Already? Its still pretty early." Gabriella shrugged.
"I'm really tired for some reason and I don't feel too good." Gabriella stood up but nearly fell back as she felt faint.
"You sure you will be ok on your own? I won't be back till late tonight." Gabriella nodded. "If you need me to come home call me. Jack won't mind."
"I will. Hopefully just having a rest should do it." Gabriella walked upstairs and fell asleep the moment her head hit the pillow.
With Troy
Troy was just walking around the park thinking. It was now dark. He hadn't been home yet and wasn't ready to yet. Troy knew he was wrong to blow up at Gabi like that and he would make it up with her later. Troy walked further into the park when he heard someone call his name.
"Troy wait up." He turned around and saw someone walking towards him at a quick pace. He immediately knew who she was as she got closer. Stacey Jones. She was one of the cheerleaders that tried to split them all up in high school by making out with Zeke. "Hey."
"Hey." Troy replied as she started walking with him.
"So why you down here?" she asked as Troy rolled her eyes. She always had to know everything back in high school.
"My dad's not well so I came home for a bit." Troy told her as she grabbed his hand.
"I'm sorry Troy. Hey you remember Connor from the basketball team?" Troy nodded. "He's having a party why don't you come." Troy thought about it for a few seconds.
"Sure." Stacey smiled as she pulled Troy towards the place the party was being held at. They arrived a few minutes later to see the place packed. Some of Troy's old basketball teammates were there and he instantly joined them.
With Gabriella
Gabriella woke up from her nap feeling worse than ever. She felt like her head was being crushed as she sat up. Gabriella decided to go and get some tablets from downstairs to try and help shift the headache. As she got to the top of the stairs, everything started spinning then went black.
With Lisa (Troy's mom)
Lisa had just arrived home to find all the lights on downstairs, which she thought was strange. She knew if Gabriella and troy had gone to bed they normally turned the lights out. As she opened the door she immediately saw Gabriella lying at the bottom of the stairs unconscious.
"Gabriella? Gabriella can you hear me?" there was no reply and Lisa grabbed the house phone and dialled 911 giving them all the details. "Everything's going to be fine I promise." She said as she held Gabriella while waiting for the paramedics who arrived a few minutes later. Lisa rode with Gabriella in the ambulance while she tried to get a hold of Troy from Gabriella's cell phone.
When they arrived at the hospital, Gabriella was rushed through and Lisa was told to wait. She told them she was going to go and wait with her husband and told them his room number.
"Jack?" Lisa said softly as she sat next to him. He stirred.
"Lisa? What are you doing here?" he asked. As he opened his eyes more he saw her worried face. "What's happened?"
"When I got home I found Gabriella collapsed at the bottom of the stairs and I can't get a hold of Troy." She cried as Jack hugged her.
"Sssh I 'm sure everything will be fine." Jack tried to convince her but not believing it himself.
With Troy
Troy woke up a few hours later to find himself in an unfamiliar bed. He looked to the side and groaned as he saw Stacey naked next to him. Troy knew he had just made a huge mistake. He slowly got out the bed and found all his clothes before walking out the room. What have I just done? Troy walked out, pulling his cell out of his pocket and saw 30 missed calls all from Gabriella. He then listened to the messages he had.
"Troy its mom ring me as soon as you get this. There has been an emergency." Troy quickly dialled Gabriella's cell, which went straight to the voicemail.
"Damn." He walked home as fast as he could considering how much he had drank.
With Gabriella
After the doctors finished their tests and now waited for the results, they had allowed Jack out of bed so he and Lisa could go sit with Gabriella.
"Where am I?" Gabriella murmured as Jack stood up brushing the hair of her face.
"Gabi your in hospital. You collapsed." Gabriella nodded slightly as the doctor came back in.
"Oh good you're awake. We have your results back Miss Montez." Gabriella held Jack's hand as Lisa rubbed her leg comfortingly. "Congratulations your pregnant Gabriella." The three of them just looked at the doctor in shock.
A/N: Ok don't kill me yet. Troy was an idiot I know and now Gabriella's pregnant. What will Troy do when he finds out? Will he tell her the truth? Please R&R. Thanks!
