Okay, so don't worry yet! The story's got a long way to go yet…is that annoying or tiring in any way? There's still plenty of Drama to come and I can pretty much say I'm already cooking up ideas in my head for a sequel. It's going to be really adorable!
Right, the next chapter is going to be a kind of low one and the beginning of the next one will be too. Then I'll go easy on you guys so we all don't want to go into a depression and you all don't want to leave my story, lol.
I don't own High School Musical or High School Musical 2, DAMN I STILL HAVEN'T SEEN THAT YET lol
Chapter 27 – Why Do I Feel So Sad?
SHE sat alone cradling her book, no – one understood her! She was all alone. Gabriella still couldn't believe how empty and lifeless she felt. It had been maybe two days since she had come home from hospital. She had kind of lost track of time, of everything really!
She heard someone knocking the door and she could barely buck up the energy to tell them to come in. A moment later, the person opened the door themselves and in walked Troy holding a large glass of juice.
He smiled at her gently and came and sat beside her on the bed. He put the orange juice to her lips and she took a little sip.
"Just a bit more baby girl, please." Troy pleaded.
"No!" Gabriella said firmly.
"Gabriella, you've got to get something down you soon. You've lost all you're energy." Troy told her gently.
"I don't want anything Troy." Gabriella said impatiently.
"You're sick Gabriella, if you don't eat something soon you're going to die." Troy said seriously.
"THEN LET ME DIE! LET ME DIE IN PEACE!" Gabriella bellowed and Troy stood up.
"Gabriella, stop it! Stop hurting yourself and drink your juice." Troy said, he stood and kissed her forehead, though she did not look at him or give any recollection of his affection.
"I'll be back to check on you later." He promised and he closed the door behind him and went downstairs.
He made his way into his study and decided he could busy himself with some of the business paperwork. He had much to do. He picked up his drink and looked at it for a moment, he shouldn't drink. He had a headache from last night, a great thumping headache. He hadn't drunk a lot but he knew he wasn't used to drinking too much. The bottle of scotch sat on the table just begging to be opened; Troy pushed it away and shook his head. He couldn't, Chad's words echoed through his head. He had to be strong for Gabriella.
Someone knocked on the door and Troy motioned for them to come in. It was Henry.
"How is she?" Henry asked sitting opposite Troy.
Rex walked into the room and stood by her Master's side. Troy reached out and stroked her behind her ears. The dog barked joyfully and Troy held his head, it hurt to even hear little noises.
"Not doing so well. She's just so down." Troy sighed.
"What can we do? Is she eating?" Henry asked.
"No! She managed a sip of orange juice today. I'm really worried about her. I don't want to lose her." Troy grumbled.
"Its alright, Susie will be back soon. You'll have to put her on the drip. She's going to lose the baby if you don't do something." Henry.
"I know." Troy said scornfully, he took the bottle of scotch off the table and was about to pour himself a full glass when Henry snatched it away from him.
"Be a good partner Troy. Don't turn to drink. I won't let you." Henry said coldly.
Troy slammed his hands down on the desk, then immediately regretted it. It hurt his head, it really hurt.
"Just let me have something to calm my nerves." Troy asked.
"No! I'm going to make some dinner and I expect you to try and convince Gabriella to eat it! Do whatever it takes." Henry said sternly.
"Whatever!" Troy snarled and Henry left taking the bottle with him.
SUSIE finally returned and went to visit Gabriella. She fluffed up her pillows for her and came and sat beside her.
"Shall I read to you? I know you're tired." Susie commented and she picked up Gabriella's book and started to read aloud to her.
(Extract from Fire Bringer, David Clement Davies, do not sue!) He dropped his antlers, then, aiming his head toward the northwest corner of the wood, he raced off along the edge of the valley, tossing his head as he ran. As he neared the wood, he began to swing his antlers right and left in a great arc, and then abruptly, no more than three branches' length from the tree's, he crashed to a halt and stomped the earth. (You didn't have to read that guys by the way)
"Why do I feel so sad?" Gabriella suddenly asked.
Susie looked up from the book and saw the tears in Gabriella's eyes. She put the book down and came and sat beside her.
"Honey, I know it's hard to understand but you've been through a traumatic experience. You'll never stop thinking about the child you lost precious but you have to move on." Susie exclaimed.
"I can't help it. I just want all the pain to go away. I hate myself. I really do." Gabriella whispered.
"Look honey. I really want you to think about everything you still got to live for and then when I come up later we'll see how you're feeling." Susie said, she stood up and left the room leaving the young brunette alone to think about what she was doing…she begged that it would help.
TROY returned a few hours later with a plate of cooked dinner. He set it in front of Gabriella and smiled.
"Doesn't it look scrumptious?" He asked smiling.
"I don't want it." Gabriella snapped.
"Please, it's good for you Gabriella." Troy pleaded.
Gabriella crossed her arms and suddenly Troy couldn't take it anymore. He picked up a forkful of mashed potatoes and forced open Gabriella's mouth and rammed it inside. Gabriella gagged; it had taken her completely by surprise.
"EAT THE DAMNED FOOD GABRIELLA!" He screamed making her flinch.
He picked up the plate and threw it across the room and Gabriella jumped, she had never expected to see him flip.
"OUR RELATIONSHIP IS REALLY ON THE ROCKS RIGHT NOW! YOU MAY HAVE LOST ONE OF THE BABIES BUT YOU'VE GOT ANOTHER IN THERE BEGGING FOR YOU TO SAVE IT! YOU'RE NOT EVEN TRYING." Troy bellowed, he snatched up her right hand and grabbed the ring off her finger.
Gabriella started to cry, but Troy did not soften. He had attempted for days to get her to eat and the pressure just became too much.
"IF YOU WANT US TO HAVE ANY KIND OF RELATIONSHIP AND I MEAN ANY KIND AT ALL YOU'LL EAT AND SAVE OUR BABY!" He screeched right up in her face, Gabriella looked pale.
"I'm…I'm –"
"I DESPISE YOU RIGHT NOW! I REALLY HATE YOU! THE LIFE OUR CHILD IS IN YOUR HANDS AND YOU JUST WANT TO LIE THERE AND LET EVERYONE CROON OVER YOU! YOU'RE NOT GETTING MY AFFECTIONS ANYMORE! IF YOU WANT A RELATIONSHIP I SUGGEST YOU GO AND FIND THAT BASTARD OF AN EX OF YOURS!" Troy bellowed and with that he stormed out of the door and slammed it shut behind him.
Gabriella started to sob. She buried her face in her hands and began to cry. Troy had really flipped out on her, she was a bad partner. She was hurting the one she loved and she was one hell of a sick woman!
Right, the next chapter starts off depressing and kind of lightens up a little! I promise you that it will get better guys, I know how it kind of puts you're spirits down. Gosh I kind of sunk writing this. And to me this chapter was completely useless! I swear, I hardly got the meaning of it.
Anyway, the next chapter is called 'A Talk With A Little One'
