Remove my pride

This was an idea i had and decided to write it..

Review and let me know if i should go on x

Gabriella sat with Troy for the rest of the day, only moving to go to the ladies room. At 4 pm however Gabriella had an idea. She got up and walked out into the corridor where she found her head nurse.

"Umm...Mrs O'Neill?" Gabriella said

"Yes Gabriella?" She smiled "How are things going with Troy?"

"No to good, but i think i have an idea.." Gabriella said

"Ok...and that is?"

"Troy has no incentive, to want to get up. Or Try?" Gabi told her

"I see what your saying" Mrs O'Neill said

"If we made it so he had to get up to go to the toilet...for instance" Gabriella said

"Done...Suzie" She said to another nurse.

"Yes?" Suzie said

"Please go take Mr.Bolton's catheter out"

"Ok" She said walking into Troy's room

"Good thinking Gabriella, just hope he isn't in a real rush right now to go to the toilet" Mrs O'Neill joked

Gabriella smiled an followed after Suzie.

"Gabriella..." Lucy said when Gabriella walked in. "Whats happening?"

"We are giving Troy some incentive" Gabriella said

"Gabriella..." Troy said a pained expression passing over his face as Suzie removed the catheter.

"Troy, listen to me, even if you can't play basketball again - which by the way no one said was impossible - you need to get up and walk...so you need the bathroom? then you have to get there yourself." Gabriella said

"Please...Gabriella Im begging you, i can't" Troy pleaded as Suzie left.

"Troy, Just try..." Mr.Bolton said

"I don't need to the bathroom anyway" Troy said slowly turning to the T.V again .

"Fine, but you will, if you see your still have fluids pumped into you" Gabriella said taking her position on the seat again.

"Your evil"

"No...I care" Gabriella smiled

-15 minutes later-

Troy lay in his bed, he really really needed the bathroom, but he didn't want to give Gabriella the statisfaction of knowing she was right...

His parents had just left to go get a drink, leaving Troy and Gabriella alone.

"Troy?" Gabriella got up and walked over to the side of his bed, deciding to try and persuade him some how. "Stop letting your pride get in the way"

"Im not" Troy said

"Troy, i hardly know you, granted, but i do care and i have to help you get better" Gabriella told him

"Why? Why should you care, i don't" Troy said

"You do...i know your upset about basketball, but no one said you could NEVER play again"

"But they implied it"

"So, i work here and let me tell you...the doctors aren't always right"

"How do you mean?"

"This guy i was looking after before, i used to talk and joke with him every weekend, just be company to him...oh and after school most days, the doctor used to say he would make a full recovery...but he didn't he died on me" Gabriella finished, feeling slightly upset.

"Gabriella...im sorry what happened, but, you don't know how much it hurts, i feel im gonna' be putting all that effort in for nothing." Troy said sounding incredibly sincere.

"But Troy, your not!" Gabriella said, she looked at his face, all sad and drawn. "Troy, its getting late...but i want to make a deal with you" Gabriella said

"What deal?" Troy asked

"I'll get them to put the catheter back in if...when i get here tomorrow, you try and walk?"

Troy thought about this. He really needed the bathroom."Ok...But please put it back in!"

Gabriella laughed. "Ok...deal, see you tomorrow Troy"

She left, telling Mrs O'Neill of the deal..and her telling Suzie to put it back in.

-That Night-

"Taylor...I'm going to make this work with Troy...He is a cool guy, just depressed" Gabriella said, laying on her bed talking into her phone.

"But Gabi...you have to let the patient come around not just take their catheter out to make them" Taylor said

"I know, but Troy just needs a push that's all. And im going to be the one to give it"

"Gabi...It's your decision just be careful...what hours are you working tomorrow?"

"Um...im supposed to be 11 till 5 but i think i'll go in longer" Gabi said "Im determined to get him walking or at least standing Taylor...I want to help"

"And that's why you will be a doctor when your older" Taylor said

"I hope so...Well i got to go, Stella is calling me, i have to help with the dishes" Gabriella sighed.

"Ok hunny, see you on your break tomorrow?" Taylor said

"Yeah, i guess, i'll ring you if anything changes" Gabriella said "Speak soon" Gabriella finished hanging up.

-With Troy-

Troy lay in his hospital, thinking about the days events. Gabriella was trying...More then anyone else had. His dad had just got moody and yelled, which made Troy not want to more. His mom had broken down in tears, admittedly making Troy feel sorry and guilty. But Gabriella, she was fiery, she wasn't going to take no for an answer.

-The next day-

Gabriella knocked on Troy's door at 9 am. She had gotten up early just so she could come in and see Troy, on the hope he would keep up his side of the deal.

"Come in" She heard Mrs Bolton say.

Gabriella opened the door and walked in. Troy was laying, in his bed, not as sad as yesterday but not quite as happy as she had hoped. "Hey Troy" Gabriella said.

"Hi" He managed to say. He was, slightly happy about seeing her but full of dread as he knew what was coming.

"How are you today?" Gabriella asked, just recieving a shrug from Troy. "Do you want some breakfast?" Gabriella asked, trying not to push Troy.

Troy was shocked at this he expected her to go straight into frocing him to walk. "Sure" Troy said.

"Ok so what would you like?"

"What is there?"

"Hmm..the hospital food is, crap" Gabriella said bluntly earning a laugh from Mr and Mrs Bolton.

"Can i just have some toast" Troy said

"And here was me thinking you would want ice-cream?" Gabriella smiled "Every patient does, seriously i have seen the hospital kitchens, full of ice-cream" Gabriella joked.

They all laughed. Evern Troy smiled

"Well I'll be right back" Gabriella said a left.

Will Troy walk?

Love Ya xXx
