Again I tried to stand up but my knees were shaking and my legs couldn't carry me, and I felt very dizzy and tired, but the sight of troy fighting with his abusive dad and what his father could do to him made me forget about all the pain! I finally managed to stand up and I put my hand on troy's shoulder and pulled him towards me and said 'troy.. come on.. leave him' but troy wasn't listening! He only saw his father and what he had done to his mother and to me. So again I said in an even weaker voice 'troy please for me.. stop it!' but he said 'gabriella go away!' so I yelled with all the strength I had in me and said ' TROOOOY!' he looked at me while still pushing holding his father and I said 'help me...' and I gradually fell to the ground.
He held me, carried me and put me on the wheel chair and yelled for chad! Chad and monica came running, monica gasped when she saw how pale and fragile I was, I was too weak to even keep my eyes opened, troy kept talking to me so that I wouldn't faint again. Then the nurses came and took me to my room where they started an IV again and put the oxygen mask and left me to rest. Mrs. Bolton told troy to go and sit with me until he made sure I was okay, which he did without hesitation because he wanted to!
Chad moved back and forth between my room and mrs. Bolton's because she was worried too and he needed to be there for troy and also to make sure I was okay. Monica was sitting in my room too, but she'd occasionally go with chad just not to cry infront of troy. About 2 hours later I was starting to wake up again, troy was sleeping next to me, I looked at him and smiled and thanked God he was okay, and he didn't hurt his father either. Then I saw monica coming into the room, she was whipping her tears, but when she saw me she smiled and came and held my hand, but right before she could wake troy up I stopped her and whispered 'let him rest for a while.. he has been through a lot!' she smiled at me and said 'are you okay?' I said 'yeah I am.. how is mrs. Bolton?' monica said 'worried.. but she is fine' I said 'don't worry.. I am okay..' she said 'thank God!' I smiled.. but then I said the question I had in mind 'and mr. Bolton?' she said 'he is still here!' I gasped and she said 'don't worry! Chad is with him to stop him from bothering troy or mrs. Bolton! And troy hadn't seen him anyway because he was with you since then' I said 'good.. they might fight again..' then I coughed a couple of times which woke troy up, he looked at me with tears in his eyes when he realized I woke up and then he ran to me and hugged me so tight and said 'don't ever do this to me again!' I said 'okay.. only if you promise me that you won't do this to me again!' he said 'okay.. I am sorry..' then I looked at him then kissed him.
Then I said 'are you okay?' he said 'you know it has been a bit boring those couple of days so I need a bit more action!' I laughed and so did he and then I said 'you'll be okay.. I know it..' he smiled and then I held his hand and said 'troy.. you know your father is still here..' troy stood up and said 'what? Where is he?' I grabbed his hand and said 'troy.. please! You promised me..' he sat again and said 'should I just let him hurt you and my mum gabriella?' I said 'ofcourse not.. but fighting won't solve anything.. chad is with him and he isn't anywhere near your mum..ok?' troy nodded and then I said 'now go see how your mother is..' he said 'I won't leave you!' I smiled but then his mother actually came into the room on a wheel chair! I said 'what? How did they let you?' she smiled and said 'the same way they let you missie!' troy and I laughed. She came closer and held my hand and said 'are you feeling better?' I said 'yeah.. I am better! How about you?' she said 'I am as strong as a horse!' I laughed again. Then chad and monica came too, they wanted to make sure I was okay. But then troy asked chad 'what about my dad?' chad said 'he left I guess..' troy said 'you guess chad?' chad said 'what can I do? He isn't around anymore so I guess he left!' I said 'troy.. it's okay.. nothing is going to happen.. come sit next to me' he did. He sat next to me, and we spent the time laughing and telling stories and even though troy laughed and smiled along but he clearly had something in mind.
