Kyle Bolton
A/N: Hey thanks for all the reviews! I was just wondering if people are going off this story because my stats have been dropping with each chapter in both hits and reviews. I do accept constructive criticism if you don't like the way I'm doing stuff and want to tell me. Please R&R! Thanks!
This chapter is dedicated to: trumpetrulez101 for advertising it in her story and for freaking out every time I reviewed hers :p
Disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot and OC's
The flight back was fairly smooth for the Bolton's, Gabriella and Sharpay who had to come back with them. The only tricky situations were helping Troy up the steps and dealing with a few fans but through it all never once let go of Gabriella's hand. He made sure she was with him at all times. Kyle had noticed ever since Gabriella had told Troy about the baby he had become very protective of her. Of course he knew Troy was in love with her but Gabriella in Kyle's view hadn't picked up on that. Kyle was following behind his mom and dad since Troy was walking on his own with crutches but still kept a firm grip on Gabriella's hand. Kyle was observing the two closely when he bumped into someone. Looking up Kyle groaned inside.
"Hey Melissa." He spoke trying to act all calm and collected.
"Hey Kyle." Kyle smiled when he saw her smile. He felt like it contagious because whenever she smiled he felt like smiling.
"Look I want to say sorry about what Gabriella, Miss Montez to you and my brother did." Kyle apologized as she nodded.
"It's ok. I know they were only joking. I mean come on your Kyle Bolton; captain of the basketball team and could have any girl you wanted especially any cheerleader you wanted. It's ok. I'll see you at school." Before Kyle could respond she had gone. He groaned out loud this time as Chloe and Craig who had travelled back with them looked at him.
"You ok?" Kyle shook his head.
"Craig why do people assume just because I'm captain I'm..." Craig cut him off.
"Going to date a cheerleader?" Kyle nodded. "People automatically just assume things and that's how it stays but if you feel strongly about someone else you have to show them that things can be different." Kyle nodded as Chloe kissed her boyfriend at his sweet words towards her brother.
"Chloe stop that before I am forced to beat your boyfriend up." Kyle warned. He may be younger than Chloe but he would still do anything to protect her just like he would do anything for Gabriella or Troy.
Gabriella, Troy and Sharpay were walking in front of Jack, Amanda, Chloe, Kyle and Craig when Gabriella spotted 2 familiar faces she hadn't seen in a long time come running towards them.
"Dad? Paul?" Gabriella said, well more like asked as they stopped and looked at Gabriella sadly.
"Gabriella it's so good to see you." Her dad, Richard Montez, tried to hug her but she shook her head and clung onto Troy who could tell she was uncomfortable.
"What do you want?" Gabriella asked coldly as Kyle stepped to the other side of Gabriella.
"Gabriella please. We don't want to argue. We actually have some important news we need to tell you." Gabriella nodded her head for them to continue. "Gabriella last night your mom collapsed last night at work. They think she suffered a heart attack." Gabriella's breath caught in her throat as she nearly chocked from what her father told her. Troy instantly balanced himself on his one crutch while doing his best to wrap Gabriella in his arms. Kyle rubbed her arm comfortingly. It was then Richard and Paul (her older brother) realized who Troy was.
"Umm Gabriella why are you with THE Troy Bolton?" Paul asked as Kyle glared at the snappiness in her brother's voice.
"He is her best friend from High School so don't start going on about him." Kyle warned as Amanda pushed him and gave him a look.
"You want us to take you to the hospital?" Troy asked as Gabriella nodded against his chest. Troy looked at his dad who smiled.
"How about we take you two up now and we will go home and drop everything off before coming back up?" Jack suggested as Sharpay offered to take Chloe and Craig home rather than them all going together. Gabriella and Troy just walked past her father and brother. No one else apart from Troy knew the real reason why she never spoke to them.
Gabriella and Troy were dropped off at the hospital, Kyle being dragged home by his mom saying Troy would be with Gabriella if she needed anything since he was already in trouble for his party antics. Gabriella made sure she and Troy sat nowhere near her father or brother while they waited for the nurse to give them permission to go in.
"You ok?" Troy whispered seeing the worried look on Gabriella's face.
"Why do you think they're back Troy? They haven't been in mine or my mom's life for over 15 years." Troy had his arms wrapped around Gabriella as she held onto him.
"I don't know but I just want you to know I won't let them hurt you. Ever." Gabriella smiled slightly and nodded into his chest.
"Thanks for being here Troy." Troy smiled as he looked at Gabriella's brother and father who were watching her or more like observing her as she held onto Troy.
"Maria Montez?" Gabriella stood up, helping Troy as she walked to the doctor with her dad and brother joining them too. "Hi. I just wanted to let you know you can go sit with her now if you wish. From some of the test results we have had back we don't think the attack was that serious but I do recommend when she gets strong enough to be released she needs to get plenty of rest and she doesn't stress over anything." The doctor told them as Gabriella and Troy walked, or limped in Troy's case, towards the room knowing the other two were following.
"Mom?" Gabriella quietly spoke as her mom turned to face her and smiled when she saw Troy too.
"Hi Gabi, Troy." Troy smiled as Gabriella indicated for him to sit down which he did as she sat on his good leg while Maria's face paled when she saw the other two people in the room. "What are you doing here?" Gabriella felt her mom squeeze her hand as Troy kept his hand on her stomach.
"We got a phone call and we wanted to come make sure you were ok." Richard told her.
"I'll be fine. I don't need you two so you can go." Maria told them as Gabriella glared at the two who sighed.
"Look we don't want to cause any trouble." Paul started.
"I thought that was what you did." Gabriella interrupted snapping at him. Maria gave Troy a pleading look to take Gabriella home.
"Look I think it's probably a good idea we get going Ella and let your mom get some rest. We can come back tomorrow when we have both got some rest too." Troy told her as Paul and Richard looked at each other as Troy called Gabriella 'Ella'.
"Fine since I don't think I would have a choice anyway since Kyle would be down he quicker than possible." Troy smiled as the two of them stood up and kissed Maria on the forehead. "I promise I will come and see you tomorrow mom. Make sure you get some rest." Gabriella whispered.
"You make sure you get plenty of rest to. Troy I'm holding you to look after my little girl." Maria told him as he nodded. Gabriella and Troy soon left as they heard her mom tell the other two to get out while Troy saw his parents sitting down waiting for them obviously.
"Gabi how's your mom?" Amanda asked as she hugged Gabriella.
"She will be ok. Why don't you go see her while we help Troy to the car?" Gabriella told her as she watched Amanda walk towards the room she had just come out of.
"Gabriella come with us and we will take you home now." Gabriella turned around and saw Paul looking at her. When Gabriella didn't move Richard moved towards her as she held onto Troy tightly.
"Gabriella is staying with us for as long as she wants." Troy told them as Gabriella kept her grip on him.
"Why would she need to stay with you when she has a perfectly good home to go to? We went past there earlier so we now where it is." Richard asked.
"Because I am not going anywhere with either you. I don't know you. You are no one to me." Gabriella shouted at them as they walked outside the hospital.
"Gabriella..." Paul spoke softer seeing the scared look on her face.
"No. Just leave me alone." Gabriella had tears running down her face as Jack stood by her.
"We're really sorry Gabriella for everything that happened. How about you go back with your boyfriend tonight and we can talk in the morning." Richard suggested as Gabriella nodded.
"Ok but I don't forgive you one little bit and Troy isn't my boyfriend." Gabriella told the two.
"Really? You two look really good together and I shouldn't think that as your dad." Gabriella smiled. Just maybe her dad had changed and so had her brother.
"No. We used to date in High School but broke up after Graduation and recently started hanging out." Troy smiled as he squeezed her hand knowing she was trying her hardest to give them a chance like she did with everyone.
"Well at least I know my little girl has someone to look after her. Troy don't let her get hurt because I am trusting you to be there for my daughter while I try and make it up to her." Troy nodded at Richard. Gabriella gave him a confused look. Both weren't expecting them to change so quickly.
"Oh yeah I heard about your knee mate. Sorry about that. It must suck." Paul spoke up as Troy shrugged.
"It's annoying I can't play but it's all cool since I get to hang out with your sister and do stuff with her." Troy told them.
"You and I will have to hang out sometime and you will have to hook me up with some hot chicks I'm sure you know." Troy laughed.
"Sorry I don't really know any apart from your sister and I don't think that your sister will let me go search any out yet know." Richard and Paul looked confused.
"The reason Troy and I are so close is because I'm having his baby." Paul and Richard's jaws dropped.
"You got my daughter pregnant?" Richard asked in shock as Amanda appeared.
"Yes sir but don't worry I won't leave her. We both have made plans for what will happen." Troy quickly told him.
"You guys ready?" Amanda asked as Troy and Gabriella nodded.
"I'll meet you here tomorrow morning sometime." Gabriella told her father and brother before getting in the car after Troy.
"Please tell me that was weird. It's like one minute they are two of the worst guys ever and then they were acting like our best mates." Troy said as Gabriella smiled.
"It's like they are completely new people." Gabriella told him as he nodded. "When I was little they were so critical of me and when dad cheated they both became moody and miserable. Paul started causing bad disruptions, the way he would take out his anger on me was so horrible and that's why me and my mom moved away." Gabriella recalled as she leaned against Troy.
"Well if you need me to be there with you I will be." Troy felt Gabriella softly nod against his chest before she fell asleep. When they arrived back, Jack carried Gabriella to Troy's room and left as Troy slowly made his way upstairs and managed to get in bed next to her and just held her tightly in his arms before falling asleep.
