In Need of Someone to Love
Chapter 3
Joy, Pain, and Sorrow
Okay guys, I made a big mistake. A few days ago I submitted a new chapter to my other story "You are the Music in Me" but I was in such a rush that I submitted it to this story instead. I apologize to you guys. But at least I got a lot of reviews! LOL This next chapter was harder than I thought it would be to right. Here's also a tidbit of info: Dr. Finch has his own office (where Troy visited him last), but he also has an office at the hospital. So don't get confused when I say that he comes from his office. Tell me what you think…
It was eight months later. Angelina was already in the hospital. Troy sat with her. He made her try every single type of therapy she could to get her better, but there was no change. His wife was going to die. He watched her intently. Her long blond hair was gone and she was pale and weak. Tubes were stuck into her body to monitor her heartbeat and the baby's.
"Troy." Angelina spoke suddenly. The young man turned to face her and she continued. "Promise me that you will always tell her about me and tell her that I love her." Her eyes were starry. Troy touched her cheek.
"I promise Angie." He reassured her. The two looked at each other for a long moment. Then all of a sudden Angelina's face expression twisted into a look of pain.
"Troy…" she began, breathing heavily.
"I'll get the nurses." Troy said. He got up and ran outside to the nurse station. "She's ready!!" he cried. Two nurses dashed inside and Dr. Finch burst from his office (Remember what I mentioned earlier).
Troy leaned against the wall and took two deep breaths.
"Hey Troy!" yelled a male voice. He looked up and saw Taylor and Chad approaching him. He removed himself from the wall. Taylor saw his expression and knew… "It's time?" she asked. Troy nodded tearfully. Chad hugged his best friend speechlessly.
Taylor heard Angelina's screams and looked at Troy wide-eyed. "You should go in there."
"No." said Troy, "I can't go in there alone Taylor. I want you to come with me." He held out his hand and Taylor took it. They both ran into Angelina's room.
"Family members only." said a nurse.
"She's my sister." Troy lied, pushing past the nurse. Angelina was paler than ever. She held Taylor's hand and gripped Troy's.
"Push!" Dr.Finch ordered. Angelina pushed weakly.
"Harder!" Angelina gathered all of her strength and pushed harder.
"Good job." Taylor whispered. "Now keep going." Troy was too stunned to speak. His hand was numb. Angelina let out a piercing scream and pushed once more. She was determined to give Troy their precious little girl. Troy kissed her bald head and she pushed again.
"It's here!" Dr.Finch exclaimed. The nurses took the crying baby away. Angelina fell back into her pillow crying tears of joy, pain, and sorrow. Troy cried too. Taylor was touched by Angelina's bravery and determination.
"I'll leave you two alone." She said softly. She hugged him tightly. The new mother squeezed her friend affectionately.
"You are the bestest (isn't that cute? Lol) friend I have ever had." She whispered. Taylor began to cry.
"I'll never forget you Angelina." She said, sincerely. The nurses returned with the pink bundle and Taylor walked outside into the waiting arms of Chad.
"What are we going to name her Troy?" Angelina asked.
"You name her Angie." Troy insisted. Angelina smiled thoughtfully.
"Well, I always dreamed of naming her Ashlee." She replied. For those interested, I didn't get the name Ashlee from Ashlee Simpson, my school friend has an anime character that she created named Ashlee Kaiya, and I thought the name was cool! What do you think about it?
"That's a perfect name." Troy said. "Ashlee Bolton."
"I believe and pray that Ashlee will grow up to be kind, generous, successful, and really sweet." His wife said. She began to say a prayer and Ashlee grabbed her finger. Angelina smiled for the first time in two months and stroked the tiny hand. Troy glanced at Angelina's heartbeat monitor. Her heartbeat was normal. He sighed. He rested his head against the wall and fell asleep.
lololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololol
Troy sat up wearily, something was going on. Angelina was paler than ever and was shaking and trembling. Dr. Finch was over her. Taylor, Chad, Sharpay, Zeke, Kelsi, Ryan, Tanya, and Martha were all standing around them. They were all nervously staring at the heartbeat monitor. Troy looked at it. Angelina's heartbeat was slowing. He picked up Ashlee.
"Angie!!" he cried. "Please hang on!!!" Dr.Finch quietly left the room.
"There's nothing I can do Troy." Angelina said. Her voice was barely above a whisper. "I have to go. It is God's will." Troy opened his mouth, but shut it. He touched her cheek. "Baby, please." he begged. "Please!!" His wife's heartbeat descended even farther.
"I love you guys." She said. Her eyelids began to droop. Ryan looked away and Sharpay buried her head into Zeke's chest.
"We love you too Angelina." Chad said, speaking for everyone. "Rest in peace."
Troy glared at him. Angelina saw her husband and murmured. "I'm not afraid to die Troy." Troy nearly choked on his own tears.
"No Angie… you aren't going to die!" he screamed, trying to convince himself that none of this was happening.
"Tell Ashlee I love her. " Angelina spoke softly.
"Please don't leave me!!! Honey… HONEY!!"
"I love you Troy." Angelica breathed. Her eyes closed and she took her last breath. The heartbeat machine beeped. Troy screamed and ripped the machine off the wall. He stomped and jumped on it. No one knew what to say. Ashlee began to cry and Sharpay reached for her. Troy picked her up first and rocked her gently, instantly calming down. Chad and Taylor smiled at each other.
"Your mommy loved you Ashlee." he said, kissing her nose and admiring her big blue eyes. "She really did."
