Okay guys! I left off with a cliffy on the last one so here's chapter 40 also the last one for series 4! Dang I'm far!

Chapter 40

Troy woke up. Gabriella still lay there in her coma silently. Troy started to cry. "Gabriella please...please...!" said Troy. Troy noticed Dylan and his mom were out of the room.

"Gabriella please wake up..." said Troy and a tear rolled down his cheek and onto Gabriella's face. Gabriella's eyes blinked a little.

"Gabriella? Gabriella?" Troy said noticing she might be awake.

"Where am I?" said Gabriella confused.

"Gabriella! Oh my gosh! It's me Troy!" said Troy.

"Troy? Troy who?" Gabriella said confused.

"Remember Troy? It's me...please remember!" Troy had tears rolling down.

"Where am I? Who are you?" Gabriella said.

"You were ran over by a car. It's me Troy...please...remember!" said Troy.

Lucille and Dylan came in. "Gabriella!" said Lucille.

"Gwabi!!" Dylan smile really wide.

Lucille looked at Troy and noticed he was crying, "Troy what's wrong?" she asked concerned.

"She...she doesn't remember me..." Troy said crying. "It wouldn't matter...she doesn't deserve to remember me...I don't deserve for her to remember me..." said Troy looking down at the ground.

"Don't say that!" said Lucille.

Dylan hopped up on Gabriella and hugged her. "Gwabi! I missed you!"

"Who are you?" said Gabriella said even more confused.

"It's me Dylan! Remembwer?" he said happy.

"I don't. What happened?"

"It's me Dylan. Twoy's bwother! It's me! Don't you remembwer me?" he said getting sad.

"No...I-I don't..." Gabriella said noticing Dylan was getting sad.

"Nooo! Pwease! Pwease!" said Dylan crying now.

"I'm s-sorry I don't..." said Gabriella.

"No! Twoy you said she'd wake up! Then why doesn't remembwer me?" he said with tears in his eyes and his face red and mad.

"I, I forgot to tell you...I'm sorry...I didn't think she'd forget us..." said Troy with tears in his eyes.

"I HATE YOU TROY! THIS IS YOUR FAULT!" said Dylan mad and ran out of the room.

Lucille ran after him. "I'm sorry Dylan...it is my fault..." said Troy to himself crying.

Troy sat on the chair with his head in his hands and crying silently.

"I'm sorry...I don't remember you...or that little boy. What happened to me?"

"You ran in front of a car...You've been in a coma for about a month...I skipped a few days of school to be with you...It's my fault this happened to you...I'm sorry..." said Troy still with his head in hands crying.

"Oh...what-what did you do?" asked Gabriella afraid to ask.

"Taylor, Chad, Machelle ruined your life. We said rumors about you. I'm sorry..." said Troy.

"Oh...who is Taylor and Chad and Machelle?"

"Taylor was you ex-Best friend. Chad was also mine and your friend and Machelle was my ex and not your friend. She ruined your life. We all did..." said Troy.

"Oh..." said Gabriella trying to remember, but didn't.

"I'm sorry...Dylan's my brother that lil' guy you just saw and the women you saw ran out for him was our mom..." said Troy still sad.

"Oh..."

"Yeah..."

"I'm sorry...I don't remember you...I don't remember anything..."

"It's not your fault...it's mine..."

Gabriella couldn't respond to that. "I'll be right back..." Troy said and walked out of the room before Gabriella could respond, he walked out with his hands in his pockets and looking down at the ground. Lucille and Dylan were right there on the bench. Troy couldn't look at them. The last words Dylan said to him was he hated him. He couldn't blame Dylan for hating him. He hated himself now too. He just walked by them.

He walked to the park. Sitting on the bench where Gabriella always sat on.

TROY'S POV

"I'm sorry Gabriella. You don't deserve to remember me. You shouldn't even had met me or this wouldn't have happened to you..." I said.

THIRD PERSON

Troy was so sad. He was heartbroke. He called Taylor.

Taylor didn't answer. "Hey this is Taylor's cell leave me a message and I'll you back!" said her mailbox.

"Hey Taylor. Gabriella woke up. But...she doesn't remember anything. I gotta go...bye..." he hung up.

"Gabi, I'm sorry..." Troy remembered a song that reminded him of Gabriella. His mom used to sing it to his dad. It was God Bless The Broken Road by Rascal Flatts. (A/N: If you don't know this song you should listen to it now! I was listening to this song while I was typing this whole chapter!) Troy sang it:

"I set out on a narrow way

Many years ago

Hoping I would find true love

Along the broken road

Got lost a time or two

Wiped my brow

And Kept pushing through

I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you

Every long lost dream

Lead me to where you are

Others who broke my heartbroke

They were like Northern Stars

Pointing me on my way

Into your loving arms

This much I know is true

That God bless the broken road

That led me straight to you

Yes he did...

I think about the years I spent

Just passing through

I'd like to have the time I lost

And give it back to you

But you just smile

And take my hand

You've been there,

You understand

It's all part of a grander plan

that is coming true

Every long lost dream

Lead me to where you are

Others who broke my heart

They were like Northern Stars

Pointing me on my way

Into your loving arms

This much I know is true

That God bless the broken road

That led me straight to you

Now I'm just rolling home

Into my lovers arms

This is much I know is true

That God bless the broken road

That led me straight to you

That God bless the broken road

That led me straight...to you..." he sang.

"I'm sorry..." he said. He walked back to the hospital. He came into Gabriella's room and noticed that Dylan was in Lucille's hands still crying.

"Hey Troy..." his mom noticed him.

Troy just stood there. Looking at Gabriella who was lying in her bed getting tests. Dylan just looked at him with tears in his eyes. Troy looked away. He left and went into the hallway and sat on the bench and just stared at the ground.

He heard footsteps. "TROY!" it was Chad and Taylor.

"I got your message...what happened??" they asked worried. Troy didn't respond. He couldn't.

"It's my fault...It's all my fault..." he kept saying, "She doesn't remember any of us..." he was still looking at the ground.

Taylor and Chad were worried they went into Gabriella's room. "Gabi! Your awake! I missed you..."

"Who are you? I don't know either one of you!" said Gabriella.

"It's us Gabi...it's me and Chad! Don't you remember us?" asked Taylor worried.

"No...I'm sorry I don't..." said Gabriella.

"What...?" said Chad.

"Chad and Taylor come here please..." said Lucille.

"Yes Mrs. Bolton?" asked Taylor.

"Gabriella has lost her memory. She doesn't remember me, Dylan, or Troy." she said crying.

"Oh..." said Taylor with tears in her eyes.

"Okay..." said Chad already crying, "She was like my lil' sister..." he said sad.

"She was my best friend...and half of this is our fault."

Dylan was holding onto Lucille with all his might crying into her shoulder. "It's okay sweetie. We all loved her...she was like my daughter I had never had..."

Okay guys...that's all for this chapter. I know...it's sad. I cried this whole time writing this...so yeah...
