Chapter 9 Enjoy

Mystery Murder and a Hint of Mind Control

"Ryan!" Taylor shouted as Sharpay ran to hug him in relief. Troy didn't move. Taylor looked to Troy and saw him still crying. Her head hung and she knew that telling Troy about her feelings was a bad idea. He still cared for Gabriella. She couldn't intervene with that.

"Oh my god! You're okay! You're okay!" Sharpay said between tears into Ryans chest, barely audible.

"Yeah… but… Chad looked pretty bad… I couldn't tell if he was still breathing or not. Plus he lost so much blood. Someone had slit his throat."

Taylor heard this and went hysterical. "NO! NO! NO! NO! No… no… no!! He has to be okay Ryan… He can't…" Taylor was hitting the chair in front of her with the fists. Her last word ended in a break down. She was crying… loudly.

Troy looked up and saw her and knew that telling her his feelings about Gabriella was a mistake.

"Ryan…did you see Gabriella? Or even Jason?"

Ryan shook his head and held Sharpay tighter. She was still crying. "Troy.. Umm I think Gabriella had something to do with Chad's…" He looked at Taylor who was still crying and begging for him to be okay. And stopped. He realized something. "Wait.. JASON'S HERE?!"

Sharpay stepped back and nodded.

"Troy, I think him and Gabriella planned this… This entire thing. But, why I have no idea."

Troy was angry and he let his anger take over his memories of Gabriella acting weird. "How could you think Gabriella would plan to kill us?! What's wrong with you?" Troy burst out in anger.

"What's wrong with me is that you're little innocent girlfriend knocked me out! With a stapler! She hit me in the back of my head upstairs!"

"One, how do you know it was a stapler? Two, how the heck did that little thing knock you out? And three, how do you know it was Gabi?" Troy looked at Taylor. Taylor was shaking her head. She was disappointed that he'd still be on Gabriella's side when he clearly heard Ryan say that she knocked him out.

When Troy saw Taylor everything came back to him and he wanted to know why she would do this.

"One, the stapler was lying next to me when I woke up, two, because she hit me freaking hard on my pressure point, and three I know it was her because she left this…" He pulled out a piece of paper.

"Read it!"

Ryan, please, you haven't done anything to me…so I don't want you in this. But your sister has been trying to get Troy and I don't like that. Ryan if you are reading this then please… go hide but DON'T take anyone with you and do not show this to them… Afterall… I could take you as easily as them. Gabi.

Taylor looked up and everything became clear to her. Troy and Sharpay sat down in shock.

"Troy! I know what happened! Jason must have gotten out of jail and told Gabi that he'd do her darkest deeds and take the blame! Otherwise how would she be doing this? He'd only do them if they were toward us. Why? Revenge. Why? Maybe it was because he thought we were like evil to him.. Or… or.. We drove him crazy or something." Troy nodded

"Yeah, that's possible. But then again why…. Why would she want to kill us?" Troy said.

"Troy," Taylor thought for a minute. "TROY LOCK THE DOOR, RYAN ALREADY GOT IN! Good Lord… Okay um…but isn't it obvious Troy? It.. Its because of.. You. You and me."

"Gabi, Gabriella… please, wake up!" Gabriella didn't move and her pulse was a little fast. "Damn this was not planned…"

"Troy! Stay with me! Please!" Gabi said stopping for breath. All she heard was the sound of her breathing and heart beating. She saw Troy turn to her and smile lending his hand for her to grab.

Behind him was a really bright entrance-way. "Come with me Gabi." He said softly.

But no matter how hard she tried. How fast she ran, the farther he'd seem. But she couldn't stop. She just couldn't.

Jason checked Gabriella's pulse once again but nothing had changed. Which, in turn, worried him.

Troy smiled. "Gabi, you know we cant be late."

'His smile… so sweet, so genuine.' Gabriella started off for him once again but this time she got closer and closer.

Finally with him, her love, she slowly reached for his outstretched hand and he found hers.

Jason watched as Gabriella's hand started to intertwine with his.

Gabriella looked down at their hands and then his blue eyes and then back at Troy. Troy glanced of his shoulder to the door and back at Gabriella.

"Are you ready?"

Gabriella nodded and Troy took a step back and turned around. He was halfway in florescent door when Gabi stopped him.

She looked back at the blackness behind her, letting a tear slip down her cheek.

She turned back to Troy, nodded again, and they walked in. Together.

Jason was still feeling her pulse when she smiled, eyes closed, and loosened her grip. Her pulse stopped.
