By Thetruemeaningoflove

A/N i updated the wrong chapter :P woopies sorry

This is from no-one's point of view so kind of like a narrator.

She wanted to be sitting in a bed. Well she really wanted to be sitting in her boyfriend's bed with him next to her but at this moment in time she was trying to catch up with Troy as he matched up the drive to Matt's house.

Since they had came back from the hospital they had some coffee and then just hung around the house until Troy got a phone call from the cops. From what Gabriella could tell it was something about her accident, if you could call it that, but more specific it would be that he wasn't being held in custody anymore. And that was probably why Troy was marching up Matt's Pathway. When Troy had ran to his car with an annoyed look on his face Gabi immediately new that something was wrong so she leapt into the car along with Troy, he hadn't said anything so she just kept on trying to figure out where they were going but as they turned into the street that Matt lived on she finally realized what was going on. When she had asked Troy what he was doing he didn't do anything except just carry on driving. After that she didn't do anything except worry what her newly boyfriend was going to do.

When Troy pounded on the door she knew that it wasn't a good sign, the longer he had to wait the angrier he became so she stood back a little. Gabriella knew that they were going to have a fight and there was nothing she could do to control it. Well she could try to get Troy to stop but at the state he was in there was no why he would listen to reason.

When the door burst open Matt looked around and then came face to face with Troy his facial expression instantly became worried and scared. A punch suddenly came in to view as Troy's fist came in contact with Matt's face. 'You almost killed her you fucking bastered!'

Matt stumbled back and brought his hand to his nose to wipe the blood that was running down his face. The look on his face changed as he became just as angered as Troy and went charging at him. They both fell onto the floor and began to hit and punch each other fighting and rolling around trying to be in control. Gabriella was standing there she didn't have a clue what to do. In a way it felt good to know that Troy was protecting her and standing up for her, but it was so wrong at the same time someone was going to get hurt because of her and she was just standing there doing nothing while her boyfriend and ex were rolling around on the grass outside Matt's Family home.

'Troy!' the Gabriella called out, she wanted to sort it out and know the true before he got killed.

Troy looked up he was in the perfect position he has all of his weight on Matt and was holding him down with his fist lifted in the air ready to swing it right into his face. But he had frozen as soon as his girlfriend had called his name. The way she said it sounded like a plead more than anything he had expect. She slowly walked over and placed her delicate had on his shoulder and whispered into his ear 'Please' it sounded so soft that he couldn't bear to refuse her.

The urge to kill the bastered was unbelievably strong but Troy knew that he couldn't do anything else to Matt, as soon as Gabriella had whispered into his ear it was like she had some kind of hold over him he could do anything else to him, Troy was more scared of seeing a look on his girlfriends face. The material on Matt's shirt became scrunched into the Wildcats fist and Matt felt himself be pulled up a little 'You hurt her and it will be the last thing you do! Understand?' Troy waited for a response from Matt as his eyes flickered across his face but none came 'I said do you understand?' The grip on Matt's shirt became even tighter and the anger in his voice had risen. The look on Matt's face was scared as he quickly nodded like a little child would.

Matt was shoved back into the ground as Troy got up and began to walk over to his car, once he had reached it, he placed his hands on the roof and leaned against in with his head hung down but he still kept an eye on Gabriella.

'I bet it's a shock seeing me here isn't!' The words spat out of the latina's mouth before she could stop herself, she didn't want to come across like this but then at the last minute she realized what he had done to her. He had cheated, lied and used her. 'You thought you scared me off at the least!'

'Gabriella I am so so so sorry, so sorry that you can't understand how truly sorry I am.' The way that Matt made it sound was actually like he was sorry but there was something in his eye that looked not quite right, that little glint that you could tell that all he was thinking about was himself. He lifted his hand to stroke the side of her face but Gabi had move her face to the side before Matt could, he looked confused.

'Well that isn't good enough' her voice was soft and quite but Matt could hear every word. There were tears in Gabriella's eyes as they look into Matt's. 'You have hurt me so much since we have been together. You didn't accept my best friend just because he was better than you at something, you cheated on me hundreds of times, you never remember our anniversary, and on Valentine's day you didn't even get the card yourself and I wasn't the first person you ever gave it to. But the main thing is that you didn't ever just want to be with me for me.' A tear escaped from her eyes and she looked down.

'No, no I did want to be with you Gab-` matt was trying to explain but was cut off 'The only reason you were with me was because I'm the head cheerleader and most of the boys and school want to be with me!' There were still tears down her face but she was getting more aggressive. 'You almost KILLED ME! You were sleeping with people and when I finished it you put me in a coma. So I am going to say this to you once and only once.' She looked him in the eye with her finger pointing towards him 'I never want to see you again. I don't want you near my friends or family or so help me God you will wish you were never born Got it?' She finished her hands resting on her hips, waiting for an answer.

When Matt had answered with a quite 'Yes' Gabriella turned on the heel of her foot and began walking over to were Troy was standing her was now leaning against the car. As he saw her walking over he stepped away from his car and opened the door for Gabriella to get in and make sure she was in securely before closing the door and running around to the driver's side and jumping in and going as fast as he could. He didn't want to stay around any longer than he had to.

Once Troy was driving down the road he looked over to his girlfriend and frowned. She was looking out the passenger's window so he couldn't see her face. But what he could see almost made is heart break. Gabriella's petite shoulders where shaking he pulled over to the side of the road and turned off the engine.

'Brie...?' when no answer came he sighed.

'Babe are you mad at me?' Gabriella smiled at the name he had called her, no matter how much she had heard it, it always made her feel giggly and girly on the inside. She slowly turned her head and looked at her boyfriend. She gently shook her head before climbing onto his lap in the car.
