You're The One That I Want
Chapter 8: Early Morning Haze
By musiclover94 and Sami 8D
Last Chapter…
"Yes, officer," she said, faking fear but smiling at Troy from behind the officer's back.
"Mr. Bolton," Troy didn't ask how he knew his name, "you're coming to the station with me." Before Troy could utter a word, the officer had seized his arm and pulled him roughly from the hospital room. Kara smiled and waved goodbye to him as the door was swinging shut.

Troy looked at the dirt-stricken prison floor, bars of light streaming across it from the small window. He remembered his parents' confused and disappointed faces when they had come earlier. He ran through what had just happened. His mind drifted back to Sharpay, barely alive in a poorly run hospital. He fought back images of Kara, approaching him closer and closer…There was approaching footsteps from the officer….a clanking of keys…no, that hadn't happened….
Troy looked up. A prison guard was examining a large key ring right in front of his cell. He finally found the right one and inserted it in the lock. The iron door opened with a loud creek as some of the dim light from the hallway seeped in. Before he could speak, the guard said, "Someone has come and paid off your bail, Mr. Bolton. A lady," he smirked.
Troy got up, thinking about his options. I stay in jail, or get bailed out by a lady, probably Gabriella or Kara…and then I'd get to see Sharpay…He followed the official to where his bailer was. He was horrified to see Gabriella standing there, smiling at him. But he thought back to seeing Sharpay again, and grudgingly followed her outside, keeping his head down to avoid any make out sessions.
Something even worse came though. When they were a fair distance away from the prison, the scheming brunette got out a human tranquilizer from her purse and stuck it in his exposed arm. He felt a sharp, quick pain, and then he toppled over in the backseat of Gabriella's car.
She closed the door on him and opened the driver's door, smiling like a Cheshire Cat now that she had The Playmaker all to herself.
It was pitch black outside when Gabriella got to her house, Trot still knocked out cold in the back, oblivious to what was going on around him. Gabriella, still grinning, went to the backseat and picked him up wedding-style and walked to her house. It was empty, her mom out at a party and wouldn't be back until the wee hours of the morning. (A/N: Nothing T/M rated happened there, just to let you know)
The early morning sun peeked into Gabriella's bedroom, casting the small space in a warm glow. Troy's blue-gray eyes opened. The early-morning haze popped when he realized where he was.
He slowly turned his head to find Gabriella sleeping peacefully next to him, a small smile on her face. He jumped up out of the bed and had only one thought on his mind: getting to Sharpay, and fast.
Author's Note: Wow, this chapter was horrible! Sorry, Sami for butchering your idea, but my mind is on, well, let's say, other things. Pleas review and ideas are always appreciated.
