Chapter 11

Gabriella soared down the highway, no idea as to where she was going, but the tears and the heavy rainfall obscuring her vision as the small black car hurtled further and further away from Albuquerque, away from the people that she had caused so much pain to.

After Troy had run after his – their – daughter, everyone had turned on her. Raising a shaking hand in an attempt to stop the steady stream of tears, Gabriella choked out a sob as her mind wandered to less than only a few hours earlier.

Flashback

Watching Troy hurtle out of the room, the gang all turned to look at Gabriella, who avoided their gazes by suddenly finding the floor interesting, Taylor and Ryan stood at the back of the group of friends, itching to follow Troy in looking for their niece, but knowing in their heart of hearts that they should stay and diffuse the meltdown that was evidently about to happen in the gym first.

"Gabriella, can you please explain to us what the hell is going on?" Sharpay screeched, looking thoroughly irritated to be kept out of the loop, as Gabriella's tear stained face glance upwards, her eyes meeting the cold gazes of Taylor and Ryan.

"She's mine isn't she?" Gabriella whispered softly, her voice breaking as she thought of the further heartache that she had just unintentionally caused her little girl.

Both Taylor and Ryan sucked in a sharp breath, Taylor's face softening slightly as she nodded, "Yeah Gabriella, Lilly-Ella is that gorgeous little baby girl that you rejected all those years ago, and I hope to G-d that you regret that decision more than anything else in your life Gabriella, because she is a wonderful, kind, sweet young girl."

"WILL SOMEBODY PLEASE TELL ME WHAT IS GOING ON!" Sharpay screamed as everyone's hands whipped up to cover their ears, and Gabriella's face turned to look at Sharpay, Chad, Zeke, Jason and Kelsi, all of who were looking painstakingly annoyed to not know what was going on.

Gabriella took a deep breath as she turned her head once more away from the gang, her face now awash with fresh tears as she recalled the day that she well and truly ruined her life and the best thing in it, "That girl Sharpay, the one that ran out of here sobbing, the one which we were calling sweet just before this game began, she's Troy's daughter," Gabriella whispered softly, and the entire gang gasped, shock flooding their features, "not only is she Troy's daughter, but, ummm… she ummm… she's my daughter too," Gabriella admitted quietly, her voice breaking as everyone's jaws dropped at the brand new revelation, "I… I told him to get out… I told him to take our daughter and…" Gabriella stopped suddenly, her hand flying to her mouth as she looked like she may throw up at any given moment, "I'm sorry, G-d I'm so sorry," She sobbed, her red rimmed eyes meeting the gangs once more, "I can't do this, I have to get out of here," Gabriella muttered rapidly, turning on her heel and fleeing out of the door which her daughter had left through less than a half hour ago, the screams of the gang ringing through her ears.

End Flashback

That had been an hour and a half ago, and so far, Gabriella had no plans of slowing down as she ran further than she'd gone before, heading northward toward her Aunt Sophie's house in Lexington, Nebraska, not caring about how long it would take her to get there, but knowing that her Aunt Sophie was the only one that knew everything, right from the first moment that Gabriella and Troy themselves had found out they were going to be parents, right through Gabriella's pregnancy, and then her depression, the only thing that had kept her going when she finally realised the scale of the damage that her depression had caused her, losing the love of her life and her baby girl, and now, the only person that would be able to understand the new dilemma that was rearing its' ugly head in Gabriella's life once more.

Suddenly, Gabriella heard a loud popping noise and felt the car skid on the road, completing a complete one hundred and eighty degree turn, with herself sat inside, eyes squeezed tightly shut, screaming for dear life.

Opening her eyes once more, Gabriella sighed as she glanced out of the side window onto the deserted highway, wondering how the hell she would find help with the weather as bad as it was, jumping slightly as a lightening bolt streaked across the night sky, illuminating all that was around her, before the darkness settled in once more, the thunder rumbling loudly overhead.

Sighing once more, Gabriella looked up out of her windshield to find herself looking into a pair of startled blue eyes, the size of saucers. Automatically, she started to reach to undo her seatbelt, never letting her own chocolate coloured eyes detach from the sapphire ones, as she slowly heaved herself out of the car, ignoring the fact that she was drenched instantly from the heavy downpour, her eyes focused on one thing, and one thing only, the petite blue eyed girl shivering from the cold and drenched through from the rain, her own tears streaming down her face as she stared up at the face of the one she should have called Mommy…

Well, that was Chapter 11, I know it was short, but hopefully Chapter 12 will be longer, and it will hopefully be up in the next few days, I hope that you liked this chapter, and please review and tell me what you thought!
