Longing To Break Free
Chapter 12
They were all still running as fast as they could go. They desperately had to get away from there.
"My car is hidden behind there," Chad spoke as he ran, "Head that way!" he instructed Troy and Gabriella. Troy briefly looked at him and nodded, he was still holding onto Gabriella's hand. He gazed nervously back at the house. He then looked at Gabriella and squeezed her hand tightly. He was just so relieved that they weren't being followed by his kidnapper. He was so relieved they were now free and they were all finally getting away from that house.
Gabriella gazed up as Troy squeezed her hand. There eyes met each others for a few moments and he smiled at her. She smiled back at him. She was just so happy that they had finally found him and managed to get him away from that man. She was happy they had all gotten away. She still couldn't believe that they had really found him.
Suddenly however she couldn't help but notice that Troy had let go of her hand and had started to slow down. She looked around feeling very concerned. He had stopped behind her and looked like he was desperately trying to catch his breath. She looked at him with worry in her eyes.
"Troy! Are you okay?" she gasped as she watched him; she immediately ran to his him, with Chad closely behind her.
"Troy, are you alright?" Chad asked worriedly.
Troy quickly nodded, he took a couple of deep breaths before he spoke, "I'm okay," he looked at them both, and they both looked back at him very doubtfully, "I'm okay as long as both of you are safe."
Gabriella frowned, "Troy, you really don't look-"
"Gabriella, I'm okay!" Troy quickly told her. He had taken about only a few steps when he suddenly started to collapse.
"Troy!" Gabriella gasped. She panicked; she quickly caught him just as he slipped into unconsciousness.
Jason and Kelsi were both frantically looking for Chad and Gabriella. The problem was they really weren't even sure where exactly to look.
After they had left East High everyone had divided up and started looking for Chad and Gabriella. They had all started off at the last place Gabriella had instructed Jason to go to and then they all took off in separate directions from there, in hopes of finding them. Kelsi and Jason were in one car while Taylor and Ryan were in another. They had managed to catch up with Zeke and Sharpay really quickly and they were in another car looking for Chad and Gabriella.
And so far they had come up with nothing. And Jason was so insanely frustrated and worried by it.
"Oh, I just wish we could find them!" Kelsi said as she looked out the window. She let out a deep sigh. Jason glanced at her and could tell she looked really worried. She looked up at Jason anxiously, "Maybe we should call Zeke or Ryan and see if they have any updates."
Jason shook his head, "I'm sure they will call if something happens. Unfortunately I doubt anything has so far."
Suddenly, something caught Kelsi's eye and she gasped, "Oh my God, look!" She pointed to what she was looking at; Jason looked rather surprised when he saw what she was pointing at.
"Hey!" Jason exclaimed, "Isn't that Chad's car?" he felt relieved for a second, but then he frowned, "If that is Chad's car, where are Chad and Gabriella? They must be around here!"
Kelsi looked around and then her eyes grew very wide, "Over there!" She exclaimed. She swore she could see Chad behind a couple of trees.
Jason followed her gaze, and sure enough he could spot his friend. His eyes grew even wider as he saw who was next to him. He couldn't believe it. He really couldn't believe it. "Oh my God, they found Troy!" he gasped. He was so relieved to see that Chad and Gabriella had actually found Troy.
"Oh my God!" Kelsi looked incredibly stunned as she noticed Troy as well. She felt so happy to know that Troy had finally been found, "Oh my God! I can't believe they found him! Thank God!" she suddenly frowned however, "Jason, he doesn't look very good! Come on, we have to get over there and help them!"
Jason nodded as he immediately parked his car. A few seconds later they were racing towards Chad, Gabriella, and Troy.
"Chad!" Jason screamed, catching Chad's attention.
Chad looked up, looking very shocked to see Jason and Kelsi, yet he also had a relieved and panicked look on his face.
"Jason!" Chad exclaimed, "Thank God!"
"Kelsi!" Gabriella cried, "We found Troy!"
"I see that! I can't believe it either!" Kelsi exclaimed. She grew serious once she got next to them, "He doesn't look very good! What is wrong with him? Is he unconscious?" she gasped. She frowned as she studied Troy, "Where did you find him? Oh my God, what happened to him?"
"He's alive, but unconscious," Gabriella answered shakily, "He just passed out right before you got here. He still hasn't woken up."
"Oh God," Kelsi gasped, "I hope he will be okay!"
"Where was he?" Jason asked, studying Troy as well, he looked at him with deep concern.
"That man we were chasing kidnapped him," Chad quickly explained, his voice was a little shaky as he spoke, he kept his eyes on Troy, "We luckily managed to find Troy in that house," he nodded towards the house behind them, "and we just barely got away from the kidnapper."
"Oh my God!" Jason gasped, his eyes were wide, "Thank goodness you all got away! But how is he? He really doesn't look very good!"
Gabriella couldn't take her eyes off of Troy. A few tears fell down from her eyes, "Oh God, we really have to get him to the hospital!"
"We'll help you get him to the car," Jason went quickly, "And then we'll take him to the hospital."
Chad kept eyeing Troy. He nodded, "Let's hurry! We have to get him help and fast!"
Chad and Jason were soon carrying Troy towards Chad's car. Gabriella and Kelsi were right behind them. Gabriella watched them carry Troy with worry.
Gabriella felt relief run through her a couple of minutes later as they had gotten Troy in the car. They were starting to finally get him away from there.
Suddenly they were driving towards the hospital.
She just hoped that Troy would be okay.
