Italics are Gabi's thoughts.


'Gabi?'

Troy knelt down beside Gabriella, placing a hand underneath her head. Her usually warm hair felt ice cold against his fingertips. A hand was placed on his shoulder and Chad's voice was heard soon after.

'Troy?'

Troy whipped round to stare into the concerned face of his best friend. 'Call 911, Chad.' He said calmly, but his voice was rising dramatically. 'Call 911!'


Ryan was rocking slightly back and forth on his chair, looking at his feet. Chad was sitting, comforting Taylor, stroking her hair. Troy was crouched on his chair, biting his nails. Blood soaked his hair, but that was only because of the gash on the side of his head. Blood also covered his hand, but it didn't belong to him. It was Gabriella's. When he had put his hand under her head, the blood from her head had printed on his hand. A tear traced through the grime on his face. A doctor came out of a small room in the corridor they were sitting in. Closing the door quietly, he walked over to Troy.

'Err…Mr Bolton?'

'Yeah. Yeah, that's me!' Troy jumped up and ran over to the doctor, ignoring the pain in his left ankle.

'How's Gabi? Is she gonna be alright? Is there any permanent damage?'

'Miss Montez is in a critical condition, Mr Bolton. You can see her, but only one at a time. I will take you to her after you've been checked up.'


Troy breathed deeply as a long needle was stuck into his arm.

'Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow.'

'Sorry.' The nurse said, smiling guiltily.

'No, it's fine.' After that was done, Troy jumped up. 'So, can I go?'

'Yes. There is no serious internal damage.'

'Thanks!' Troy said, running out of the room.
He was there. I could feel his presence, I could feel him there. He held my hand. I tried to acknowledge him, but I couldn't. I just couldn't.

Troy held Gabriella's hand for a good half hour. Eventually, he laid himself behind her on the bed and wrapped her arms around her.

'Gabi, I love you, don't leave me.' Troy said, watching the heart monitor next to his girlfriend.

After that, he simply fell asleep.


Aww, isn't he a sweetie-pie? I'm sorry, please review!
