Chapter 32 – Confusion and Nerves

Gabriella had been in bed for a while now but she couldn't sleep. She couldn't help worry about what this meant for her and Troy and their unborn child.

"I'm sorry if I have just lost you your daddy because it wouldn't surprise me if he never spoke to me again." Gabriella said holding her hand over her small bump, talking to their unborn child as tears spilled out of her eyes. She couldn't take this any longer. Getting out of bed, Gabriella quickly grabbed her jacket, not caring if she was only in her pyjama shorts and thin top, slipped her flip-flops on and walked downstairs. Quickly grabbing her house key's she opened the door and locked it again before briskly walking down the street in the cold rain to the Bolton's. She knew she needed to talk to Troy.

Troy was in bed but couldn't sleep. He knew Gabriella probably didn't mean what she said but he couldn't help feel hurt because he knew he loved her more than anything but she obviously would never be able to return his feelings. Troy sighed as he rolled over and saw his clock flashing 2.30am. Troy moved again being in pain in his knee when he heard something hit his window. Troy groaned as he heard it again and struggled to get to the window. Opening his blind he saw Gabriella standing down there throwing little pebbles soaking wet.

"What the hell are you playing at Gabi being out this late on your own in the rain?"Troy asked worried as she shrugged.

"I needed to talk to you but I couldn't just ring you because you would ignore me. Any chance you can get yourself down here and let me in?" Gabriella asked.

"Stay there." Troy grabbed his crutches and slowly made his way down the stairs. He was learning to get up and down a bit more on his own even though he had to sit down going up and doing the stairs. Finally arriving down he opened the door and let a soaked Gabriella in.

"Hi." She whispered as he closed the door.

"Come on let's get you some dry clothes." Troy told Gabriella to go up to his room and change into some of his and he would meet her up there.

Gabriella looked threw Troy's drawers and finally found and old white singlet of his and some old tracksuit pants that she could wear. Gabriella watched Troy struggle in on his crutches but he shook off her efforts at helping him.

"Have you completely lost your mind? It's wet, it's cold and its dark and you were out there in your pyjamas. Oh yeah and your pregnant!" Troy scolded her as she sighed.

"I had to see you. I don't care about anything else. Troy what I said I really didn't mean directed at you. You know how I felt when you broke up with me which if I didn't care about our relationship I wouldn't have felt that way. What we had was special and I'll never be able to forget it. Even if I wanted to I couldn't because of this." Gabriella pointed at her stomach. "Troy I didn't mean to hurt and I'm sorry. I can't deal with us fighting because I don't have anyone else at the minute. I need you. My mom's in hospital getting over a heart attack; my stupid dad and brother are back in my life interfering again and apart from Sharpay and Marko all my other friends are in California. I can't lose you." As Gabriella finished she was in tears. Troy could tell she really was sorry and she was hurting.

"It's ok and you never have to worry about losing me because I'm always going to be here. I promise. Come on you can stay here again tonight because there is no way you are going out again in this weather and risking our child's health." Gabriella smiled as Troy hugged her.

"I really am sorry." Gabriella told him.

"I know. Kyle is going to be on at us again though the fact you're over again." Gabriella giggled as Troy smiled seeing her smile.

"I never did tell you what he wanted to talk about earlier." Gabriella and Troy got into bed before she started to explain what she and Kyle talked about.

"I wonder where you got your expertise advice from." Gabriella shook her head at Troy smiling.

"Shut up. Let's go to sleep because I'm tired." Troy turned his lamp off and wrapped his arm around Gabriella. "Promise you will always be there for me when I need you?"

"I promise. I'm never leaving you." Troy whispered as the two fell asleep.

Kyle shook his head as he walked out of Troy's room after seeing him stir.

"She's up there again." Kyle commented walking downstairs the next morning.

"Who?" Chloe asked clueless.

"Sharpay. Duh Gabriella. The only one who is ever in Troy's bed nowadays. She is also wearing Troy's clothes so I'm not sure I want to know why." Kyle told his sister and his parents.

"I thought Gabriella went home yesterday." Jack spoke as Kyle nodded.

"She wasn't here when Troy went to bed last night so she must have arrived in the middle of the night." Kyle assumed.

"Who arrived in the middle of the night?" Kyle heard Troy ask as he and Gabriella came downstairs.

"The girl next to you. What are you doing here Miss Montez?" Kyle asked amused.

"Kyle just leave it." Troy gave him a look which Kyle had learned not to push his luck.

"I'm guessing you're not coming into school today?" Gabriella shook her head.

"I'm going back to see my mom in a bit then go back home to rest." Gabriella explained.

"Gabriella I just want to say if you need us, day or night, we're here." Jack told her seeing the tired and sad look on her face.

"I know. Thanks." Everyone could tell something was bothering Gabriella but none of them pushed it knowing she would come to them if she needed them in her own time.

Gabriella arrived at the hospital with Troy. Troy had his first session today so Gabriella was going to stay with her mom while Troy was there.

"Hey mom how you feeling?" Gabriella asked popping her head round the door and seeing her mom looking bored in bed.

"Better now I have company. How you feeling? You look a mess." Maria said observing Gabriella.

"Let's just say I didn't get a good night's sleep." Gabriella could tell her mom was worried.

"What's wrong? Is Troy still not talking to you?" Gabriella shook her head.

"No we made up last night. That's part of the reason I'm tired because I walked over to his about 2.30 this morning in the rain just to make it up to him. I just have a lot on my mind." Gabriella rested her head on the bed as her mom stroked her hair.

"Want to talk about it?" She asked.

"I'm just so confused. I love Troy more than anything but I can't be with him as anything more than friends because I won't allow it. Dad and Paul suddenly want to be a part of my life and your here in hospital after having a heart attack. I don't know anything anymore." Gabriella admitted as Maria looked at Gabriella sadly.

"Well I can try and help you out with your confusion. I do honestly believe your dad and brother have genuinely changed and want to make it up to you. I think you really should talk to them. I'm getting out of here tomorrow and I'm fine so you don't need to worry about me. The only thing I can't help you out with is Troy. I can't force you to do anything but I know Troy feels the same about you as you do about him and the only reason he hasn't acted on that is because he doesn't want to ruin the chances of being a part of your baby's life." Maria advised her as Gabriella sighed.

"Fine I'll talk to dad and Paul. I can't help but worry about you and you have been no help in the whole Troy situation." Maria laughed and shook her head.

"I'm sorry but you have to figure that one out on your own. Talk to Troy."

"Talk to Troy about what?" Gabriella and Maria looked back shocked to see Troy standing there.

"It's rude to eavesdrop on people's conversations did you know." Gabriella spoke as Troy gave her a look. "We were just talking about the baby." Gabriella lied. "How did your session go?" She asked hoping to change the subject.

"Fine. Painful but fine. How are you feeling today Maria?" Troy sat down next to Gabriella.

"A little bit annoyed at a certain someone." Maria looked at Gabriella as Troy grinned. "I can't believe you went out at around 2am in the pouring rain when you are pregnant just to get Troy's attention. I'm sure you could have waited till this morning to talk to him." Troy nodded in agreement.

"Don't start ganging up on me because you know I hate that." Gabriella whined.

"Aww is Gabriella acting like a baby because she can't get her own way?" Troy asked in a baby voice as Gabriella pouted at him and gave him puppy dog eyes. "Not gonna work Gabs." Trot stubbornly told her as he looked away from her knowing if he looked at her too long he would give in. That was the one thing Troy loved about her and that was the way she could make him smile just from the simplest of facial expression.

With Kyle

Kyle was nervously pacing up and down outside the cafeteria.

"What's up Kyle?" Kyle looked up and saw Sharpay standing there.

"Can I ask you something?" Sharpay nodded. "I'm trying to work up the courage to ask Melissa out but every time I go to talk to her she ignores me or I freeze up. Yeah I know shocker. I can't talk. Sharpay help because I really like her but I don't know what to do." Kyle was practically begging.

"Go up to the roof." Kyle watched confused as Sharpay walked into the cafeteria and left him there before he walked up to the familiar garden his brother told him about. A few minutes later, Kyle heard the door re-open and footsteps make their way up the stairs. Looking up Kyle saw Melissa walk round, their eyes meeting instantly.

"Hey Melissa." Kyle spoke breaking the silence.

"Hey Kyle. Umm Sharpay said you wanted to talk to me or something up here?" Melissa urged him to explain.

"Yeah. Why don't we sit?" Melissa smiled as the two of them sat down. "The other day I wanted to say you were wrong." Kyle noticed the confusion on her face. "You said I wouldn't be interested in someone like you but you're wrong. I was kind of hoping that maybe we could you know go out on a date or something." Kyle rubbed his neck in the same way Troy did when he was nervous. Melissa sat there in shock. "This was a bad idea, I'll just go." Kyle went to get up when Melissa grabbed his arm.

"I'd love to go out with you sometime." Kyle smiled instantly as she smiled.

"Well I would ask you out today or sometime soon but I'm grounded for that party I threw but you can come hang with me after school if you'd like because my parents didn't say I couldn't have people over." Kyle told her.

"Ok. Meet me outside last period." Kyle nodded as she pecked his cheek before disappearing back downstairs leaving a goofy looking Kyle up there.

"She say yes?" Kyle was pulled from his thoughts by Sharpay.

"Yep. We're hanging out after school. Thanks Sharpay." She just smiled.

"It was nothing and besides you did kind of bring Troy and Gabriella closer together again." Kyle nodded.

"Yeah I guess you're right. Now I just have to figure a way of making sure mom and dad won't be back till later so we can have time alone at home." Sharpay shook her head and walked off.

Kyle and Melissa had just arrived back at Kyle's after walking back together only for Kyle to frown when he saw both his parents were already home early.

"Sorry that my parents are going to be around." Kyle apologized before opening the door.

"It's fine. I don't mind honestly." The two walked in still holding hands like they had done walking home.

"Kyle where were..." before she could finish she noticed the girl standing there with her son. "Hi Melissa right?" The young girl nodded. "I'm Amanda, Kyle's mom and I'm guessing you already know Kyle's dad." Kyle was giving his mom a look telling her not to go on.

"Yeah. Hi Coach Bolton." Jack just smiled.

"What are you two up to?" Amanda asked curiously.

"Since I'm grounded and I can't take Melissa out I said we could hang out here." Kyle explained as Amanda and Jack shared a look.

"If you want we will allow you to go out tonight for your date but you are still in trouble." Amanda reasoned. Kyle agreed and arranged to meet Melissa at a small restaurant later since she wanted to go home and change. Kyle was now just praying that their date would go ok and without any interruptions.
