Chapter 7

You Need Help

-------------------------------------------------------

"Maybe we should try her cell?" said Troy as he and Zeke walked to the park.

"Why didn't you think of that before?" said Zeke taking out his cell, but then stopping. "Maybe you should call her..."

"Maybe," said Troy just before taking out his cellphone and pressing 2 for Gabi's cell(1 is voicemail). Out of nowhere, he hears Gabriella's phone ringing. He and Zeke frantically looked around for Gabi.

"I can't...Wait! There!" said Zeke, pointing to a brown-haired girl sitting under the slide. Troy looked to where he was pointing and ran toward Gabi, while Zeke called Sharpay.

"Gabriella!" shouted Troy running toward her and then crouching down to look at her. She made no slight movement and kept staring out into the horizon, straight forward. Zeke had caught up and sat down diagonal from her. "Gabriella get up," said Troy softly pulling on her sweater, "We need to take you home..." She yanked her arm away.

"No I don't," she said so quietly it was barely audible.

"Yes Gabriella," said Troy calmly, "Your parents already called the cops. We really..."

"No," she said in the same tone. Zeke opened his mouth to speak, but was cut off when the gang hurried toward them.

"Gabi!" the girls said, settling down next to her.

"We've been looking everywhere for you!" said Kelsi.

"We need to..." but Sharpay was cut off by Gabi.

"Troy already said, but I'm not going home. I can't..." She looked down at her hands.

"Gabriella," said Taylor, "You need help. And we're here to give it to you." Gabriella nodded, relieving everyone.

"But first," said Chad, "You need to go home."

"I told you I can't," said Gabriella, "If I go home now, my dad will get so mad and..." Gabriella burst into tears at the thought of it. Troy, who was closest to her, rubbed her back.

"Don't worry," said Sharpay, "We'll be there with you the entire time."

"Yeah," said Kelsi, "And I'll even ask my parents if you can stay over or vice versa. Just please. Let us take you home." Gabriella, still sobbing, nodded. Troy stood her up slowly, wrapping his arms around her to keep her in balance. Troy didn't now what to do next. He wanted Gabriella to be safe and to take her home. But she wasn't safe at home. When did this all become so complicated?

---------------------------------------------

Once Ms. Montez saw Gabriella , she ran up to her and hugged her tightly. After talking with her, the gang asked, well begged for that matter, Ms. Montez if Gabriella, with them could all go to Troy's since his parents were gone. After a lot of begging and thinking, they persuaded her to go. Gabriella hugged her mom and they all set of to Troy's house.

"Wait," said Gabi once they entered Troy's house, " I need to go home and get my clothes for tomorrow."

"I'll come with," said Sharpay, "I need to stop by ours to get me and Ryan's stuff too."

"You don't have to Sharpay."

"Trust me," she said, "I need to go." Gabriella nodded and they set off.
