Chapter 14 'Hope'

By Thetruemeaningoflove

Troy's point of view

As the day's passed Gabriella still hadn't woken up, but despite that we still went and visited her, even Josh went and to so and see her. We had told him the Gabi was asleep so he had to be quite and not hurt her, so he had climbed onto her very carefully and every time he moved when on her he would freeze and make sure he didn't hurt her and then once he was comfortable he would whisper about what had happened at nursery and what he did with his 'Aunty Lucy' it was really sweet.

It was now Sunday. The whole gang had been to see Gabriella over the week-end and part form that we hadn't really done much we only went to each others house as we were so bored without Gabriella. Usually she was the one that gave us idea's what to do other wise we just went shopping, played basketball or went in the pool, but we hadn't done any of that we just sat there we didn't talk much. We had tried to play a game of twister but in the end Chad had fell on top of all of us and when we burst into laughter we suddenly stopped as Brie would normally hit Chad over the head saying that it was her go next so he should of at least waited until then. But she wasn't there to say it.

Today as we had our family dinner with the Montez's my mom had announced that her and my dad had finally come up with my soon to be baby sister. They wanted to name her Annabella Gabriella Bolton. I smiled the way Gabriella Bolton one day I hoped that I would be able to make Brie a Bolton but the soon she wakes up the sooner I can find out if I even have a chance of doing that.

But as I started going off into my day dream I felt some one kick me. My head shot up to look across from me at the person most likely person to hurt me. Just as I thought it was Sharpay. I gave her a look that was saying 'What the hell' but I was soon shot back a glare and from that look I took that I needed to listen.

My mom looked around the table and then smiled. My Dad was at one end of the table with my mom the right of him then on the other side of my dad was Carlos, or his business name Mr. Montez next was Seth followed by Sharpay then there was Alex. On the other side of the table Josh sat next to my mom and then I was next to Josh. But usually Josh would sit in-between me and Gabi and I would sit next to my mom.

My dad cleared his throat which made all of us look up to him. 'As you are all aware Sharpay and Seth are Josh's God parents and that Alex is God mother to Lucas' Lucas was a little boy who was The Montez's cousin 'And as we are expecting Annabella we would be honored if Troy and Gabi were her God parents' I began to smile.

I looked over at Sharpay and she had a huge cheesy grin on her face. 'Mom I would love to and I think that Brie will be as well' then Sharpay started clapping really loudly. Seth gave her a look and then she suddenly stopped.

After a couple of minutes of silence Josh looked around and then started clapping like Sharpay just had done then started shouting Gabriella's name.

I looked around to see if anyone had finished and it looked like all the boys or males. So I stood up and then picked Josh up and balanced him on my side. Everyone looked around and then to me and Josh. 'I think I'll take Josh to go and see Gabi does anyone else want to come?' ever body shook their heads and then I turned to Josh 'Hey Bud do you wanna go and see Gabi?' in answer to my question Josh shook his head enthusiastically then shout her name while I was still holding onto him.

Once we arrived at the hospital I placed Josh on the floor and he ran to the room where Gabriella was 'sleeping'. When I walked into the room I chuckled when I saw Josh trying to jump onto the bed while talking about what he had done with me and Seth while the girls had gone shopping. I walked over to him and helped on to bed. He rested his head on Gabi's chest and then made himself comfortable that started jabbering on again.

I looked out the window then back to where the brother and sister were laying and then something caught my eye. It looked at Gabi and her hand was moving, it was stroking Josh's leg comfortingly. Then I looked up to Gabi's eyes and I saw that they were…

Open?

I looked again right into the deep chocolate eye's I have missed so much ever since Matt has been a Jerk.

'Josh will you go and find a doctor, what about that nice lady we saw yesterday?' I asked I was scared that I was seeing things what if she wasn't really awake and it was all in my imagination? But then what if she was awake and there I was just starting at her while Josh jumped off the bed and then ran out of the room to find the lovely doctor.

'Brie?' I questioned I had to make sure she was actually with us like as in she could hear me. But she didn't move she didn't even turn her head or move her hands a little like she had done when Josh was talking to her.

Then the doctor came in her name was Dr. Logan and she gave me a worried look. 'What is the problem?' she looked at Gabriella and then back to me I could tell by the look in her eyes that nothing had changed in Gabriella's condition.

'Well I was wondering if maybe Gabriella could of maybe opened her eyes or somehow moved her hand?' in my mind I was really hoping that she was slowly that she was waking up.

'I'm sorry Mr. Bolton but that is quite impossible although there is a chance that Miss. Montez moved her hand but to opened her eyes is not possible unless her is to wake up' I nodded saying I understood but there was still another question 'But what does it mean if she did move her hand?' instead of answering me straight away Dr. Logan took a while to think about what she was going to say.

Just as she was about to speak Josh ran over to the other side of the room and then fell over. I knew that he was gonna cry, I could see his bottom lip starting to wobble and then his eyes started to look water. I walked over to his and picked him up I placed his head on my shoulder and rubbed his back as his cries became louder. I shot the doctor an apologetic look which in return she smiled.

'Come on bud you're a big boy and I'm here so it's okay' his cries calmed down and she started to hiccup, I smiled that was what Brie did after she cries then she starts to hiccup. I placed him on the bottom of the bed that Brie was laying. I wiped away the tears that had fallen and then looked him in the eyes 'Buddy were did you hurt yourself?' Josh just pointed to his knees 'Do you want a plaster?' he nodded and the Dr suddenly jumped up from her seat and ran over to me with a plaster 'Look Josh the plaster has doggies all over it you like them don't you?'

'Yeah!' as soon as the plaster was placed on his knee and he had forgotten about the pain he went back and sat on Gabi's lap and then started jabbering about stuff I didn't understand. 'Thanks' I had to say something we were standing there just looking at Josh and his weird ways.

'It's okay now that twitch you said Miss Montez had well could mean that she is waking up soon but…' I stopped her before she could even begin to say anything else. 'How about you don't say any buts because I am happy with the answer you just gave me!' she smiled and then looked at Josh.

'Hey Bud do you wanna go home and see anyone?' a smile appeared on Josh's face 'Aunwy Pay and Uncwel Seth!' I nodded and walked over to him and picked him up then started to walk out of the room.

'By the way I thought you should know that you are coping really well with your son with out his mother' I stopped in my tracks 'Excuse me?' I turned around and gave her a confused look. 'With your girlfriend in a coma you ar doing really well with you child' I looked at her again in shock did she know how old I was, did she know that I haven't even graduated.

'I'm sorry but he isn't our son. He is Gabi's brother and I'm not in a relationship with her well I am but we are best friends' I know I wanted her to be more but she didn't know that. The doctor's face turned pale. 'I'm sorry I just thought that you were because usually if a person is in a coma they call for their loved ones and since she called for you I just assumed I am so sorry!' I smiled and then I had more hope fall in my mind maybe she does like me.

'Don't worry about it!' I smiled and walked out of the hospital felling happier than I did before.
