"A Bean burrito? Have you forgotten what happens when you eat beans, Bolton?" Chad laughed clasping his best friend on the back as they waited in line at Taco Bell with their friends all waiting for an older couple to finish ordering from the counter. Troy laughed giving Chad's head a playful shove to the side while taking a large step toward the counter to order.
The memory was blurry as Zeke unrolled the story for Troy, but it seemed to be no good even if he could remember bits and pieces, it seemed to only make the basketball captain more depressed and he couldn't explain it.
"After we all had our fill," Zeke continued shifting himself with his weight from one leg to the other to make himself more comfortable in his standing state. "We all went out to the cars, you rode with Chad, Jason and…" He paused which gave Troy an excuse to glance over curiously catching a nervous flicker as Zeke's eyes shot to meet Chad's who looked back as they had a silent conversation, but it happened so fast Troy couldn't figure it out fast enough as Zeke spoke up again.
"Gabriella…" Was all that came out in a nervous tone as he glanced toward the only girl in the room then back at Troy, who was raising his eyebrow giving Zeke a questioning look.
"Anyways!" Interrupted Chad, breaking Troy's questioning eyes searching for answers in his friends eyes as once more the story continued.
"I was driving, and Jason was in the passenger seat and you and your girlfriend were in the back seat…"
"Making out," Jason added getting Gabriella to flush as her eyes met the floor with her soft pink lip in between her white teeth as Chad went on.
"Dude! You can give each other a tongue bath at your house, in the park, on stage, on the roof, in the shower, at school, at Sea World, but not in my car!" Chad's statement sent out giggling and Troy could feel a face bury itself against his strong neck. The other's breath felt so warm and loving as it caressed his cool skin, then the familiar voice that he had heard not so long ago in the darkness once more flooded into his memory.
"Troy Bolton, I love you."
Troy's eyes closed as the memory took over on hearing the caring voice say the same words that gave the familiar butterfly sensation in his gut.
"A moron ran a red light…" Zeke's voice brought the memory to a painful close as he heard a scream, then a loud screech as if it was happening all over again forcing Troy's eyes back open not wanting to go back into the black hole he was stuck in forever.
"You were in a coma until now." Gabriella spoke up as Troy gave another questioning look over to his, girlfriend, and three best friends. He wanted to ask more questions to get better answers since something had to be missing, but his heart sank as the door opened and a woman dressed in all white came in telling his visitors their time was up. They bid their goodbye's even Troy and Gabriella shared a small kiss as they left him once more, even if it was against his will while the nurse walked over to check his heart rate and offer him some food which he only nibbled on until she left leaving him alone with only his thoughts which were now haunting him as he went over the story over and over again in his mind. Who was the voice? It didn't sound like Gabriella's, it was more angelic and more caring.
"Something is missing…" Troy said silently to himself as he put the muffin he had been nibbling on next to him on the bed side table and settle himself in the small bed closing his eyes once more slipping into sleep mode leaving his questions to rest.
