Gabriella's P.O.V

"WE NEED SOME HELP HERE" I yelled out to anyone who would be able to hear me as we reached, the hospital ward and ran down the corridor.

"Over here!" A doctor yelled, running up to a speeding matt, who was pushing Troy and me who was running beside them. "Into his room" She said hurriedly, as a few nurses joined us.

"Guys, you wait outside" A nurse said to Me and Matt. I nodded, even though i volunteered at the hospital i still wasn't qualified to help out in these situations. I leant against the nearby wall as i watched more people run into Troy's room and hear them all yelling. I let myself fall down, into a sitting position against the wall. I felt tears pricking my eyes, worse then ever. Seeing Troy like that, helpless, his pulse hardly beating...i couldn't help but feel scared.

"Hey" I heard matt say as he joined me on the floor. "You ok?"

"Yeah" I lied, nodding - still trying to hide tears.

"Don't lie Gabi" Matt said "After all you can be upset, he is your boyfriend"

I looked up at him, surprised. How did he know? "Don't worry" He said "I won't tell"

"How did you know?" I asked quietly

"The way you look at each other" He said simply. "The way Troy always has such determination in his eyes when he sees you" I smiled at him.

"What if something happens Matt, i don't want anything to happen to him" I choked out.

"Hey" He said consolingly, wrapping his arm around me and pulling me into a hug. "Everything will be fine"

I nodded "It has to be"

"Uh oh" Matt said

"What?" I looked at him confused

"Parent alert" He said.

I looked around and spotted Mr and Mrs Bolton walking down the corridor, smiling. I tried to leap up before they noticed my sobbing figure on the floor, but it was too late.

"Gabriella?" Lucy said loudly, she seemed confused and seemingly dreading my response.

I looked up at her slowly "Troy, he umm..."

"Gabriella, please, what's going on?" Jack asked worriedly.

"We were at physical therapy, and Troy came into alot of pain, and went all faint...his pulse began to slow down, so we rushed back to the ward and the doctor and nurses all took him into his room. But we aren't allowed in there" I explained slowly.

"Oh god" Lucy cried, moving into her husband's embrace.

"How long ago?" Jack asked

"About 10 minutes" I said slowly "Im sorry guys"

"It's not your fault Gabriella" Jack said "You did the best you could, Troy will be fine" He said, as if he was trying to convince himself aswell as everyone else.

Suddenly, the hospital door opened and out came the doctor from earlier "Hello" She said

"Troy? is he ok? what happened?" Lucy asked quickly

"Troy is fine" The doctor said "Awake, but slightly tired. You can go see him if you want"

"Thankyou!" Jack and Lucy said walking into the room.

"Gabriella? arne't you going to see him" The doctor asked

"No, umm i think Troy should be with his family right now" I said and walked away donw the hallway. I don't know why but i just couldn't face him.


-2 days later-

Gabriella walked down the hall of East high, she hadn't been to see Troy since the day he went funny and collapsed. She had rung her head nurse yesterday after school and told her that she hadn't been feeling to great and didn't think it was a good idea for her to go into work. Gabriella didn't know why but she just didn't want to go near Troy right now, she was feeling confused and unlike her normal self.

Gabriella swung her bag over her shoulder more securely and continued walking, when she suddenly heard her name get called out. She stopped and turned to see none other then Sharpay Evans running towards her. "Gabriella!" She called out as she caught up to her.

Gabriella's P.O.V

"Whats the matter Sharpay?" I asked, trying to look more upbeat then i was.

"Umm Troy is what's up. Why didn't you go to the hospital for work yesterday? you don't look sick?" Sharpay wondered

I sighed, i really didn't want to get into this "Sharpay, just leave it" I said and began towalk away but was stopped by someone grabbing my arm. I turned around.

"No, Gabriella Troy is worried about you" Sharpay told me

"Why?" I wondered

"Because you are his girlfriend!" Sharpay hissed. I looked at her, alarmed. "Yes i know, Gabriella! Troy told me, he is worried sick about you. You have never missed work at the hospital"

"Sharpay, it's complicated for me" I tried.

"How Gabriella? Please tell me here? Because it seems it's more complicated for Troy. I mean one minute you are both great then all of the sudden, he collapses and you don't come to see him, he needs you" Sharpay said in a angry whisper.

"We can't talk about this here?" i whispered back.

"Your right" Sharpay agreed then pulled me into an empty classroom "But we can here" She said

"Why are you bothering Sharpay THIS IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!!" I yelled.

"BECAUSE TROY IS MY BEST FRIEND!" Sharpay yelled back "Look im sorry" She said "Tell me whats going on Gabi"

"Im scared" I admitted

"Why?"

"Because, im falling for him Sharpay, faster then i ever thought possible, damn! i think i even love him...but the other day when he went all funny i thought he was going to die and it petrified the hell out of me" I said sadly "I don't want to lose him, and especially not in my care"

"Gabriella, Troy is fine, he had just been working to hard. His body was still healing and he was just rushing it"

"Because of me!" i exclaimed "Even Matt noticed it, Whenever i was around it was like Troy was pushing himself harder. So i thought..."

"So you thought if you weren't around he would take it slow. Did you ever think Gabriella if you weren't around Troy would stop trying all together?" Sharpay pointed out.

She was right i hadn't thought about that.

"Shar, i can't face him...not yet" I said simply.

"Look, im going to see him tomorrow night. Come with me?"

"I can't" I replied and left the room, a tear escaping down my face.


-Tomorrow Night- (A/N: didn't know how to put it lol but you know whats going on)

"She isn't coming is she?" Troy asked Sharpay.

"No, i don't think so...i did talk to her though" Shar said

"What happened?"

"I guess she kinda feels responsible for you collapsing and such"

"WHAT!" Troy exclaimed

"I know i told her it wasn't her fault, i don't know Troy. You need to give her time"

Troy nodded sadly. "The doctor said i could try therapy again at the end of the week"

"That's great, only 2 days away Troy!" Sharpay said trying to be upbeat about it.

"I can't do it without Gabriella" Troy admitted

"I know, but hopefully, she would of seen sense by then"

"I hope so Shar, I think i love her" Troy spoke aloud.

"I know" Sharpay consoled him.


-2 days later-

Gabriella walked up to Sharpay's locker, where Sharpay was. "Hows Troy?" She asked

"Like you care?" Sharpay scoffed slamming the locker door.

"Of course i do" Gabriella said

"You don't show it, but answer to your question? He is shit right now" Sharpay said truthfully. "He is moping around, and guess what? he is allowed to do physical therapy tonight but i don't think he will do it...want to know why?"

"Why?" Gabriella asked

"Because your not there."

"Shar..."

"God sakes Gabriella don't you see it. He effing loves you!" Sharpay spat out. "But i don't see why"

"Sharpay that isn't fair! I don't have to explain myself to you" Gabriella spat back.

"True you don't but you do have to explain to Troy"

"Why don't you just go tonight! you look after him, everything is being put onto ME!!" Gabriella yelled the last part and stormed off.

"DON'T WORRY MONTEZ I WILL!!" She heard Sharpay yell after her.

Gabriella stormed down the hallway, tears in her eyes. What right did Sharpay have!! Gabriella had her reasons! She was afraid and worried and scared and everything!! Ergh!! What was her problem!

"Gabriella!" Someone called. "Gabi!"

Gabriella stopped and turned to Taylor. "Hey Tay" Gabriella said

"Gabriella what's up? we haven't spoken in forever" Taylor wondered

"Sorry been busy"

"Hmmm well, i heard you haven't been to the hospital all week" Taylor said

"Just leave it Tay" Gabriella warned

"Leave what?"

"It, ok It!! LEAVE IT" Gabriella yelled

Taylor looked shocked and taken aback. "What is wrong with you?"

"You! EVERYTHING!"

"ME? WHAT THE HELL DID I DO!"

"YOU..YES YOU, YOU AND YOUR WORK - BEFORE FUN AND YOUR NO RELATIONSHIPS RULE AND EVERYTHING!" Gabriella yelled. She didn't know what was wrong with her but she was just letting out all the anger that had been building up over the past few days.

"WHAT?" She screamed

"JUST LEAVE ME ALONE! EVERYONE LEAVE ME ALONE" Gabriella Screamed and ran out of East High.
