Chapter 11- Oh Shit…

Gabi's POV

I groaned and I snuggled up closer to the warm contact, the cool breeze rushed over my skin. I could hear the air turning on; I felt the Goosebumps down my arm. My lips chattered and I opened my eyes, I looked up to Troy's smooth face laying on his against the back cushion of the couch. I was lying on the couch, on top of Troy. My hands were wrapped close to my chest and Troys were tightly around my body. I snuggled closer to his body and shivered, I looked over towards the table to see wine glasses spread over the table and a thin blanket over two of us.

I shook Troy lightly and he moved his arms a little but then hugged my closer, "I freezing," I chattered, my teeth smoothing apart the bottoms.

Troy moved his arms a little bit more and rubbed it up and down. "Me too," he said his lips barely moving. "Super tired," he said adding to the fact. "My back hurts like crazy," I nodded my head into his chest and pulled the blanket closer to us.

"We should go up to our room, where there are lots of blankets, and more room to lay on top of each other…naked helps too" He whispered, I laughed at him, "Oh no, that would be just your wish." He chuckled and kissed my forehead. "But seriously can we go upstairs?" I nodded my head into his chest. I looked at the clock to see it a little bit before five in the morning. I then was swiftly picked up by Troy. When Troy carried me up the stairs, he kept kissing the side of my neck and on my lips. I laid my head onto his chest and I closed my eyes again, I just wanted to go back to sleep and hold onto Troy. I let his warm lips connect to my neck and suck softly.

"Troy," I moaned quietly, "That's what I like to hear," he murmured, I his his chest lightly, "I don't like you," he laughed and kissed my temple. I heard Troy push the door open softly. He laid me down gently, I felt Troy slide me into my warm bed, and he climbed in right next to me. He wrapped his arm around me and kissed my temple, "Go back to bed baby," he whispered, I yawned and I snuggled into him. The warmth took over my body and he kissed my forehead. "I love you Brie,"

I smiled softly and rubbed my thumb into his back, "Y'know, I miss these days. Where we would fall asleep on the couch and wake up at five. Sore and ready to go back to bed but we would do something totally different." I murmured

"Yeah, we didn't have a kid, we were living in a dinky apartment, and that's were some of the best times," he said into my hair, kissing it softly.

"Yea but these times are amazing, Liam is…amazing. I don't regert a single thing in this whole journey." I said rubbing my fingers between his shirt.

"I would have to agree and basketball is something that could have waited but its all working out."

"I think basketball is getting us through this, supporting us, and that's just twice as much people that love him and he will have to go to." He hugged onto me and kissed the top of my head again. "Those were the times…"

"Shh…" I rolled over and I patted Troy's chest, which was still there. I laid my head back onto it and held him tighter; I lay on my stomach while Troy was on his back. I let my finger roam in circles on Troy's chest making imaginary lines. I yawned into the pillow and closed my eyes once again.

"Gabi…have you shrunk?" I opened my eyes to see Liam lying on Troy's chest. I giggled and I laid my hand on Liam's back, Liam's bright blue eyes gushing back at the both of us. He cried out and Troy glanced over towards me, his eyes shining with pure joy. We smiled at each other, "Look at this big happy family!" I turned my head slightly to see Mason starring at us with a camera in hand. I giggled and I turned onto my back, I prop up onto a pillow and ran my fingers through my tangled hair.

"Good Morning," I said yawning softly

"More like Good Afternoon," my eyes jumped and I looked at the clock, "Oh my God! Its one in the afternoon," I said Troys eyes grew a bit before landing back on Liam. "Shit, I dumped him on you guys for way to long. I'll give you guys a few bucks…" He murmured looking for his wallet.

I picked him up and cuddled him in my arms, "It was totally fine Troy you don't need to pay us but I need to…" Mason's eyes scanned the room looking for a way to get the next words out of his mouth.

"Hey! We made lunch and thought we come up here and give it to you guys!" Jillian brought in sandwiches and chips. I smiled thankfully and then they laid it down on the bed. Troy put his arm around my shoulders, "What were you saying Mason?" Troy asked picking up a chip, tossing it into his mouth. Mason shook his head, "Nothing…" he backed out running into the doorpost. Troy smiled and the girls start laughing, I smiled and I turned to Troy.

"He looks distracted," I mumbled to him, he shrugged his shoulders, "Why would he be distracted?" I looked down at Liam who gurgled and made noises. "I don't know Troy, why would he be distracted? I have been sleeping for twelve hours," Troy rolled his eyes at me. "Well I'm sorry I don't have the answer." I played with Liam for a moment before deciding I should go and talk to him.

"Hey Troy, can you take Liam for a minute?" I asked, Troy nodded his head and took Liam gratefully. He held him high in his arm and then tickled his stomach when he was in his lap. I got up out of the bed to still see I was in jean shorts and my tube top; I went over and grabbed a change of clothes. I grabbed my shorts, t-shirt and changed into them before heading to find Mason. I adjusted my pink t-shirt with a basketball on the back, which sparkled.

I bounced down the stairs to see him chewing on his fingernails, bouncing his leg up and down. This would be Mason's nervous habit, "Mason, are you okay?" I asked looking into his Bolton eyes. He blinked twice before he shook his head, "Gabi, I need to talk to Troy but he is so happy at the moment, I don't know how I can talk to him." He paused to collect his thoughts, "Because this will make him not so happy,"

I sat down on the floor in front of him, "Wanna take a walk and talk about it?" he shook his head and buried his head into his hands. "You are going to freak just as much as Troy will. I know you will, because it's Jenni," my eyes popped out of my head, "What are you talking about?" I whispered at him, I looked up at the staircase to make sure Troy was not coming; this is not how he should find out, through ease dropping. I jumped up and grabbed Mason's hand dragging him into the kitchen and out the back door.

"What are you talking about Mason? What the hell is going on?" He sighed and leaned against the deck wall, Mason was quiet for several minutes thinking hard, "She was in a car accident last night," I gasped and I put my hand over my mouth. "Oh my God, is she okay? How bad was she hurt? Do they know what happened? She wasn't drunk was she?"

"I can't lie to you Gabi, it wasn't good. It was not good at all, broke several ribs, her ankle, her wrist, stitches in a few places, severe blood loss. Jack called me this morning say she hasn't even woke up yet and Lucille is going crazy…crying like crazy." I trembled with tears; I reached out for him even though he was not done talking. I sobbed quietly for a moment before looking at him, "Why didn't you tell us last night?" I yelled at him, "You were both asleep peacefully! For once Troy is not calling me asking for advice when you two fight which is all you do lately. I mean when he is on the road I only get phone calls because he is worried about you and when he is home I get phone calls because the two of you are fighting…again!" His words pinned down my breath, "W-we don't mean to fight all the time, but you need to tell us these things Mason!" I wiped a few tears away and then looked up at him, "I have no fucking clue how I am going to tell Troy but how did this happen since you didn't answer my question earlier."

Mason swallowed hard, "That is something I don't think we should tell Troy," I looked at him closely, my eyes narrowing down on him "What happened?"

"Do you remember when Jenni broke her arm? Troy demanded who did it and what happened?" I nodded my head slowly, "When it was only the stairs and he was ready to attack them?" I tried not to smile but let it slip across the face. "Yea…" a soft giggles leaving my lips.

"This time it was another person, this person is already in jail and put away. Will be sued and everything since he was twice over the limit…" My eyes dropped and I looked at him, "Mason! Please just tell me what the hell happened!" He nervously shifted his eyes back and forth, "A drunk driver," he squealed out like a little girl. I threw my hands up, "I am SO not telling Troy that!" I said he looked at me closely, "Somebody is going to have too..." I rubbed my forehead with my hand.

"Make sure Liam is out of the room, cover his ears, and start packing bags because I don't think we will be here much longer." I paced across the deck, "She is in bad shape Gabi and you two are just starting to get along again." I took a fast deep breaths, "God, I know I just…he has to know! I cannot keep this one thing from him because this is the one thing he would leave me for because this is one thing he cares the most about…family. If he found out I kept this from him then he will be pissed beyond belief which will make everything ten times worse." I said fanning myself, my body starting to sweat from the gut wrenching feeling.

Mason pulled me into a hug and held me for a minute, "He promises me that Jenni will be fine if that helps you at all." I shook my head, "Yeah, whatever. I could get she was barely touched and it wouldn't help." Mason and I started laughing, "True that, I feel bad if you ever have a girl." I giggled and nodded my head, "God help her," I pulled back and went back into the house. I rubbed my forehead and I grabbed a cup of coffee that was sitting on the counter, "That was mine…" Mason said from behide me. I waved my hand at him, "I don't give a shit, I am about to tell my boyfriend that his sister isn't doing well and is in the hospital" I mumbled from inside the cup, "Last time we were in the hospital was when Liam was born a month ago."

"I can do it…" Mason said referring to telling Troy.

"He'll take it better from me because once he knows you knew last night I am going to have to handcuff him to the bed," I turned and looked at him, "But seriously start packing bags."

I started up the stairs and looked at the dreaded door waiting at the end, it was not as inviting as it should have been, and Jillian and Haley came out of the room. I gave them a weak smile, "Good Luck," Jillian said looking at me, my mouth gapped open. They knew! They knew! Holy shit, they knew! That is why I got to sleep in and the breakfast came and…oh my god! I cannot believe they knew. I am going to kill Mason because now everybody but Troy knows, shit it will probably be on E! News and on the front of magazine covers before I can ever tell him!

"Jillian! You're an ass!" I screamed at her, she giggled and I rubbed my temple again, how was I going to do this again? I pushed open the door and I saw him lying with Liam. Holding him, snuggling him, kissing his little body, and talking to him. I groaned softly collapsing on the wall outside our room. I turned in and Troy looked up, "Hey babe, what did you and Mason talk about? Is he okay?"

"Hey Troy, can I borrow Liam for a moment?" Mason came in the room like a bird, swooped in and grabbed Liam. "But," Troy protested, I shook my head. "You just need to listen Troy," Mason shut the door and Troy eyed my closely, "What the hell is going on?" he ask running his fingers through his hair.

I went over and sat down on his lap, wrapping my feet around his waist. He squinted his eyes towards me, "Gabi you are scaring me," I rubbed his shoulder, I looked into his blue eyes, "Don't overreact, please." I begged, "Gabi if you don't tell me what the hell is going on I am going to start freaking out and screaming like a two-year-old." I rolled my eyes and kissed his lips before I lost the opportunity.

After I was done, I took a deep breath, "Troy…" I paused and I played with the bracelet on my wrist, "J-Jenni is hurt." I said quickly, to the point I did not know if he would understand but his eyes popped out of his head, he tried to get up but my body held him down but not well. My body moved like it was in a hurricane, "TROY!" I screamed, he stopped and looked at me, "Troy relax please," he gritted his teeth, "What the hell happened? When? How long have you knew?" I pressed my ear against his chest. "Shh…" he groaned and tried to free himself again, I slapped his knee. "Stop." I growled

"Brie, enough if this bullshit!" I rubbed my hand against his chest, at least he called me Brie, "I have only known for about thirty minutes but Mason has known since last night…and I just told you that out of fear," I paused as anger flushed though his eyes, "How could he not fucking tell me! If we went to the damn movies and he knew I could so fucking kill him! " He popped up flinging me backwards, I screamed and Troy cursed some more under his breath. "Damn it, sorry Brie." He helped me up and I clinged to him. "Don't hurt Mason please," I begged, he tried to shake me off but I had a good grip on his shirt.

"I won't hurt Mason if you tell me what is exactly wrong with her, no bullshit and no cutting fucking corners. I need to know everything now! I can't wait anymore for you to play with me like this." I took a long, shaky breath I detached myself from him. I pushed him back towards the bed and pushed him onto it. "Babe, you can NOT overreact on me, you can not overreact at all because you will. So control yourself" he took a deep breath, "Tell me now Gabi!"

"She broke a few ribs, her wrist, ankle, lost a lot of blood, and stitches in a few places. Your dad called Mason this morning and said she hadn't woken up yet which was freaking your mom out." He looked like he was ready to ball, throw punches, and kick everybody out of the room or house. "How did this happen!" he demanded

I played with my fingers "A car accident…" I mumbled softly, turning my head to the right, "A what?" he voice shook the room.

I swallowed hard on my spit, "A car accident," I said straight forward, Troy fell back on the bed and rubbed his hand in his face. He the jumped up and started for the door, "No! No! No!" I said jumping onto his back, "You are not going out there like that, your cousins and little boy are out there."

"Was she drunk? Did she run a red light? Did she do it?" I shook my head and Troy gripped my legs. I kicked to get down and he let me go. I looked him in the eye, "A drunk driver who is already in jail!" I said quickly he tried to open the door again but I pushed him back as hard as I could, once I had him away from the doors I threw my hands up, "Start packing your bags because I know I am not stopping you on that one, Liam and I are going too." I said backing away from him, "Who the hell needs clothes lets go now," he said rushing for the door again, I slapped my hand against my face, "Oh boy,"

"Troy, the next flight isn't for three hours and don't say driving because that will take twice as long." Mason said coming back into the room, Troy flew off into the closet, and I heard the suitcase come flying from the closet. "He didn't take it well huh?"

"Nope."

"This night was amazing," Troy, said kicking off his Nike tennis shoes, I giggled and slipped off my wedge heels. I smoothed my cocktail dress out.

"I don't ever want our life to change Troy," I whispered, as we got comfortable on our couch. I looked around at the four walls and the dark brown paint. "I love this life, I love being with you every minute." I said his soft warm lips contacted with my jaw. He kissed hard and powerful, lusty roamed the air around us. I kissed him back quickly, "Lets make this night perfect," he whispered into my ear before biting on it softly.

I moaned softly and started to unbuckle Troy's jeans, his hands went to the zipper in the back of my dress.

"God, I love you Brie, I want to be with you forever." His voice panted, I heard the zipper come down the back of the dress, and I felt like I could breathe again.

"I love you to Troy," his lips fastened to mine as he kicked off his jeans. "I love you so much," I screamed out, Troy smiled as he sucked on my neck.

"Troy I…"

"Gabi! Gabi! Wake up we are landing!" I jumped up to see Liam on Troy's lap, I smiled at him and yawned, "For sleeping all day you sure are tired." I nodded my head and pointed at the little guy. Troy smiled and unbuckled his seatbelt. I grabbed Liam who did amazingly well for his first air flight. Slept most of the way and did not cry that much. I put him back in his car seat and buckled him in. "You ready to go see grandpa and grandma!" I said looking at him, he squinted his eyes and made 'the' face.

"Awh, man Troy! Liam just went poop." I said starting to sniff the air around us, "Awh, damn Liam that shit stinks." Troy said wiping his nose against his shirt. I laughed and covered up my nose, "You may depart the plane." We got up quickly and laughed our way down the aisle.

"Damn, that stinks!" I said as we walked out of the gate, Troy nodded his head, "That was the worst I have ever smelt. "Oh and were you dreaming of something?" Troy asked me, "Because you were moaning in your sleep," I looked up at him, "Oh just some odd dream I barely remember." I looked down and felt the heat race over my cheeks.

"I am going to go change Liam really fast,"

"I can do it just look for the luggage." Troy said planting a sweet kiss on my temple, I watched as he walked away into the men's restroom. "Was that Liam I could smell on the play?" I busted out into laughter, "Yea, it was pretty bad." I said walking towards the luggage. "I'll say, I think my eyes were watering."

I glanced at him and laughed, "Of course,"

I fiddled with my phone before pulling it out, a missed call from Sharpay and Taylor. I dialed Taylor, "Gabs! What happened to meeting up today! I came by the house and nobody was there!"

I sighed, "I am soo sorry Taylor! We are in New Mexico right now,"

"What the hell? Why are you in New Mexico? Does Troy know? Are you visiting your mother!" she yelled through the phone, I pulled it away for her to stop her screaming. "God Taylor calm down, no I am not visiting my mom. I still do not have the courage to email her back also Troy is with me. Jenni was hurt in a car accident last night." I told her, I saw our blue luggage fall down the shoot. I pointed it out to Mason, "Well did Sharpay call you?" I squinted my eyebrows together, "Yea but I havent gotten to call her back yet." I said

"Hey, I gotta go. Chad is trying to call me," I nodded my head and started to roll the luggage across the ground, "Alright, tell him I said hey and I love him." I said smiling, "Will do, and talk to you later."

We hung up and I saw I had a voicemail from Sharpay, "Somebody leave a voicemail?" I nodded my head, "Yeah but I will check it later." I stuffed my phone in my back pocket.

"He is clean!" Troy called walking out of the bathroom, I laughed and shook my head, "Just like his daddy," I teased

"Oh please!" Jillian said sticking out her tongue she had Issy on her hip, "Don't let that kid be like his dad," Jillian added, "Hey! Be nice, it so happens that Gabi loves me." I sighed and grabbed Liam's car seat, "Come on do you want to get to the hospital or not?" Troys pace picked up quickly and we made our way across our airport.

Mason went and got the rental car, we met him at the front of the airport. "Nice car," I murmured as we got into the Suburban. Troy placed Liam's car seat holder inside the car while I buckled him. I kissed his little nose and we all got into the car. Mason at the drivers wheel, Troy in the passenger and the rest of us in the back of the car. Issy and Anna were in the back with Jillian and Haley.

"Mason would you not drive like grandma?" Troy said with his eyes glancing at the highway, "Troy would you relax?" Mason said switching lanes and speeding up a bit.

"Has my dad called? Do we know what room number or am I going to have to be yelling at somebody to get it out of them," Troy said trying to stay as calm as possible.

"She is in the ICU right now," Troy's jaw tensed, Troy faced forward and crossed his arms over his chest. I rubbed on his shoulder and I saw we were pulling up to the Children's Hospital. Once the car was parked, Troy flew out of the car, "Troy! Wait," I yelled after him, I flung the door open and I started to unbuckle Liam as fast as I could. Jillian and Haley hopped out to hold Troy back; I got Liam undone with the help of Mason.

Once we had all the doors shut, Troy calmed down, and the car locked we all headed inside the hospital. Troy trying to run/walk, he would be running if Mason were holding him back. "Guys cant we like walk a little bit faster?" Troy begged we all looked at each other as we entered the hospital. "Troy please do not make a scene," I told him in his ear, he nodded his head calmly. I looked at the clock as we entered, 5:54. I sighed and we made our way to the ICU level of the hospital.

We got onto the elevator and Troy pushed the button as hard as he could, I jumped a little and looked at Liam who was starting to look around and sucking on his fist. He was getting hungry, luckily, I had a whole bottle ready but it just needed to be warmed a little.

The elevator doors open and security stopped us, "Names, I.d." the guy said, we all stopped and started fishing out our I.d. "Really is this necessary? I am Troy Bolton," Troy said slapping down his i.d "The Laker superstar from East High!" he said with a smile, he scanned the i.d. and then gave Troy a badge. "Here you go Mr. Bolton."

All of us filed through and even Liam needed a badge, he did not need an i.d. but he needed a badge. Anna and Issy were both entertained with there's "Hang in there buddy, I'll get you some food here shortly."

Mason walked up to the nurse's station, I gripped Troy's hand and he looked down at me. His eyes a light blue, full of fear, scared. I squeezed his hand and he kissed the top of my head. I saw Mason nod a few times and say thank you. He backed away and then looked at us. "Troy please just don't freak," Mason, said quietly, Troy was already showing tears in his eyes. "She didn't die; please tell me she didn't die."

"No but she had internal bleeding, she is down in surgery right now. That is where your parents are, I did not text your dad as if he asked me to so I did not know. He doesn't know we are here right now because I was keeping it more of a surprise." Troy squeezed his eyes close. I handed Liam to Mason and gave Troy a quick hug, "Come on babe, lets go see your parents." I whispered into his ear, he held onto me and kissed my ear.

We all shuffled out of the ICU area and back to the elevator, we headed down to the surgery floor where we had to show more i.d to get in. I guess our badges arent well enough…we got into the waiting area to see Lucille curled up next to Jack sleeping. Jack was leaning his head against the back wall and closing his eyes. We all stood there just watching the two parents, "I swear if that is ever us," I whispered to Troy, he only shook his head.

"Issy go get Uncle Jack," Jillian whispered into Issy, she smiled and then started to walk herself carefully to Jack. I gripped onto Liam's car seat tighter watching her tap Jacks knee, Jack startled popped up putting his hand on top of Lucille to keep him from waking her. He then looked down to see Issy, "Dak!" she cried, Jack frowned and then looked up towards us, and we all smiled. When his eyes landed on Troy, his eyes turned the same way as Troys.

"How long has she been sleeping?" Mason asked, "A little while after Jenni went into surgery which was about three hours ago." Jack said softly, he sounded tired, probably how I felt with two nights of staying up with Liam. Jack gently shook Lucille awake; she rolled over and started blinking her eyes. "Is her surgery over?" she asked groggily

Jack shook his head, "No, but we have some visitors." He said to her, she looked our way and she jumped up, "Oh Troy!" she called, I let go of Troy's hand and he greeted his mom in a hug. She cried into his shoulder while he hugged her tightly. Jack got up and gave Jillian Issy back, he said hi to Anna and Haley. He gave Mason a brother hug, "Weren't you suppose to text me before you came?"

Mason grinned a little, "What are you talking about big bro? I don't remember such thing…" Jack rolled his eyes; he then looked down at me. "Gabs…" I bit down on my lip; he then brought me into a bone-crushing hug. I melted into his arms as I did Troy's, I hugged him back and he kissed my cheek. "Where's little guy?" he asked I pointed to in-between Troy and I. He picked his car seat up and we all started to grab chairs. Lucille and Troy were talking quietly and I leaned over to Jack.

"So what happened?" I asked him quietly, "Do you want the whole story you the short version?"

I looked up at him, "Give me the whole thing, I think we will be here for a little while." I said pulling a bottle out of the diaper bag, then grabbed Liam. "I'm ready."

Flashback

Jack's POV

Yesterday 11:30PM

"Where the hell is Jenni?" I asked pacing the living room; I looked a Lucille who was ready to fall asleep on the couch. "I don't know honey,"

"Curfew was over an hour ago! She has missed curfew once!" I yelled, I picked up my phone and tried calling her again but it went straight to voicemail. I threw my phone across the room and I plopped down on the couch. I rubbed my hands in my face, "Luc you can go to bed, you don't have to stay up to listen to me yell at her." I said glancing down at my watch again, that one time she missed curfew was because she got caught in some traffic for a car accident, she called and everything.

"I'll wait up with you," she said grabbing a magazine from the coffee table in front of her. She flipped a few pages at a time and then looked up at me. "Do you have that feeling in your stomach that something is wrong?" she asked me quietly, I shook my head, "No,"

"I do Jack, I do and it's creeping me out! What if it is Troy? Oh my God," she start to panic, I got up from the couch and I brought her into a hug, "Shh…Troy called me just a few hours ago saying that, Mason, Gabi and him were going to see the Hangover 2, I guess they are getting along now." I said to her, she nodded her head and glanced at the clock on the wall. "I don't have a good feeling Jack, I just don't." she said to me, I kissed her temple and rubbed her hand.

Thirty minutes passed and still nothing, it was midnight and we were getting insanly worried. She was just going over to her friend Becky's house. I took a deep breath and picked up the phone, I called Becky.

"Hello?" she asked sleepily, I rubbed Lucille's finger, "Becky its Jack, Jenni's dad, is Jenni over there?" I asked her worried Lucille sat up straight worried.

"Umm not she left thirty minutes before her curfew so she could stop off for some ice cream" she paused, "Why? Is something wrong?"

I shook my head down to Lucille, "No, just Jenni hasn't made it home yet and we are worried. Her phone is going straight to voicemail."

"It died while she was here, she tried to send you guy a text messages but her phone died before she could." I took a deep breath, "What about her car charger?" I asked her

"She said it was still in your car from when you all went to California." I let my head drop, "Thanks so much Becky," I said to her, "You're welcome and have her call me once she comes home."

I nodded my head, "Will do,"

I hung up the phone and I dropped my head into my arms, five minutes later the phone rang. "Jenni?" I said quickly into the phone, "Um no, but this is regarding Ms. Bolton, is this a Jack or Lucille Bolton?" the guy asked

"I am Jack Bolton her father, who is this?" I asked the guy, Lucille looked up at me hopefully, "This is Hope Children's Medical Center, your daughter was brought in with severe injuries from a car accident that happened about an hour to an hour half ago."

I took deep raged breaths, "What? And it took you this long for you to figure out who she was!" I yelled into the phone, "Sir, they didn't bring her bag of stuff to us until fifteen minutes ago."

"We will be there in fifteen minutes."

I hung up the phone and looked at Lucille, "Honey what happened?" she asked me, "She…she was in a car accident, they have her down at the hospital."

I grabbed the car keys and Lucille's hand, which was shaking like crazy, "Come on, let's go see our baby girl."

End of Flashback

Gabi's POV

"Oh my! That is horrible; I can't believe it took them that long to notify you." I said as I burped Liam, he shook his head. "I know and that's only the beginning."

I looked down at Troy with his mom, Lucille was about to fall asleep again. Anna and Issy were playing on the floor in front of Jillian. Haley texting on her Evo, probably to Koli and her mom saying she was in town.

"Jack," Jack looked up to see a doctor in front of him, "Jenni surgery is going to take a little bit longer due to the fact we found more bleeding than liked." Jack only nodded his head; Lucille looked over and buried her head into Troy's shoulder.

"Keep telling it to me Jack," I said

He nodded his head, "Alright but let me see Liam,"

I handed Liam over to him for him to restart the story.

Flashback

Jacks POV

Just a little before one

"I am looking for Jenni Bolton! We just got a phone call that said she was in a car accident!" I yelled at the nurse, she put her hand up, "Sir, I don't see a Jenni Bolton anywhere."

I slammed my hand down on the counter, "Sir Can I help you," a doctor about my height came up, "Yes, this nurse knows nothing going on in this hospital." I said rolling my eyes, "What is the issue?"

"I got a call from a doctor saying my daughter was brought into the ER from a car accident." I said my jaw clenching tighter, "What is your daughter's name?" he asked

"Jenni Bolton," I told him, he nodded his head and typed a few things in on the computer he scrunched his eyebrows together. "How does your daughter spell her name?"

"J-e-n-n-i" I told them, he nodded his head and then pointed to the screen, "ICU room 23." I felt the blood rush to my feet when they said ICU.

"Can you please tell me what's wrong with her?" I asked them both, "Looks like they don't know everything yet. She had a severe cut in her forehead and abdomen, which needed stitches. They think she has a broken ankle and wrist but hasn't been confirmed, a lot of blood loss." He scanned over the computer some more, "She is getting ready for CAT scans, and x-ray. Woke up once screaming but quickly loss consciousness again." I rubbed my temple to keep myself from freaking out.

"Can we please go see her, to tell her we are here?" Lucille jumped in crying, I looked at the doctor, "Follow me," we made our way down the hallway and into an ICU area. He stepped aside and I could see the doctors and nurses around her. I stepped forward grabbing Lucille's hand. "Adam these are the parents,"

I nodded to him, "Thank you," I said, we stepped into the room.

"We just got back from taking X-rays and a CAT scan, once we have all the results we will let you know. She had a lot of blood loss from her abdomen and head but we got the bleeding under control and taken care of without the need of surgery. We will be keeping her in ICU for the night and until she is stable." Dr. Adam said, I nodded my head, "She isn't stable?" I asked him

"We are working on it, her BP is down a little and I think it's just the shock."

"Do you know what happened?" I asked him, "I do," I turned around to see a cop in front of me. "Lucy why don't you go see if Jenni alright?" I whispered into her ear, she nodded her head and went into the room. "Jack Bolton," I said sticking my hand out, "Any relation to Troy Bolton?" he asked, I smiled, "My son,"

"Well you have a pretty talented son," I nodded my head, "I was his high school basketball coach along with club."

"Did you play?"

I shook my head, "I had Troy before I could get that far which didn't stop my son but y'know." The cop nodded his head, "From what I seen he has a pretty girlfriend so I imagine the baby being cute,"

I smiled and nodded, "They have been together since high school, but I didn't get your name,"

"Tom, Tom Larly," I nodded my head, "So you know what happened at the crash scene?" I asked him, he flipped his notes out.

"A drunk driver going 115 MPH on the road, he had a red-light and blew through it. Jenni's car the, Ford Edge, was right in his line of path, driver's side facing him. It was a side on collision and the car is totaled."

I thought of the day Troy gave her that car, Christmas. "Thanks,"

"When you see Troy again tell him the police station is rooting for him," I smiled and nodded, "Will do and thanks for telling me everything. Is this jackass arrested?"

"He was flung from the car and is in the hospital, if he survives he will go to prison for a long time." I bit down on my lip, "Thank you," I said to him he nodded and left.

I walked into the hospital room to see Lucille holding onto Jenni's hand, I went behide her and rubbed her back. The doctors strolled in and out. "I better call Mason really fast," I whispered into her ear. I looked over Jenni's pale body, bruises formed on her face, stitches in her cheek and forehead. Her wrist had swollen high the IV running through her arm. The dull hospital gown drowning on her body.

I took a deep breath and left the room holding the cell phone up to my ear, "Hey brother,"

"Mason,"

"Jack is everything okay?"

"Yea…no Jenni was hurt, she has a broken ankle."

End of Flashback

Gabi's POV

"Mason told us about the conversation, about how he found us and yea yea."

"Did he tell you I didn't want to tell Troy?" he asked, I nodded my head, "Yea, he did." He lowered his head, "And I understood we have been fighting because it's been hard."

"It has been hard on everybody, with all the playoff stuff coming up, him being away. It's been a little crazy for the both of you." He said I nodded my head. "It really has been and I don't know how we are going to make it to the end of the season."

"You guys will, you have made it through some pretty rough times,"

"God, do you remember junior year of high school? Basketball season?" I asked him, Jack nodded his head, "Oh yea, which was probably the worst year for Troy. He was so busy being worried about you and college that he could not relax on the basketball court. Shit I benched him for at least two games which to this day was probably a mistake,"

"All I know is that is when he had his party splurge, always at a party somewhere." I mumbled, Liam was sleeping on Jacks shoulder, Anna and Issy were both sleeping with there moms and Troy as letting his mom sleep on his shoulder. His phone rang and he groaned, he got up carefully without waking his mom and stalked off to the door.

"I'll be right back and then you can tell me how they found the internal bleeding." I said getting up to follow Troy; I pushed through the doors to hear his voice tense.

"My sister is in the hospital and I had to fly home, I am sorry I missed tonight's game!" he yelled, I stood behide him to the point he could not see me. "I would have left! It's my sister, just like if something happened to Gabi or Liam," Troy groaned, "Fine, I will. I will come in when I get home and watch films. Fine whatever."

I slid my arms around his waist and hugged his back, "Forgot about the game huh?" I whispered, he sighed and turned around. "Yeah, coach is pissed and said if I ever leave a game because of you guys I need to rethink my path." He said rolling his eyes; I hugged him a little tighter. "Troy, don't get like this because you missed the game, you sister was hurt and you were home. It was your first instinct to come after her but when you are on the road playing basketball you cant do things like that." I said he looked straightforward, "This sucks Gabi," he muttered, I rubbed his arm, "I know it does but go back out there like nothing happened. Go be with your mom and I am going to finish talking to your dad."

"Yea what are you two talking about?" he asked me, I thought about if I should tell him but I shook my head, "Just basketball," I said he nodded his head and he rubbed my shoulder. "Let's go back out there,"

I grabbed his hand and we both headed back to the family waiting area retaking both of our spots. "Alright let's continue to just a few hours ago,"

Flashback

Jack's POV

March 22nd

2:39 PM

"Why hasn't Jenni woken up yet?" Lucille cried standing over Jenni's bed, I paced across the room and looked at the nurse's station. They had confirmed she had a broke ankle, wrist, and several broken ribs. I knew what broken ribs felt like and she will be in pain for several weeks. It had been twelve hours without her waking up which scared Lucille.

"I don't know honey, let me go find a doctor," I walked out to the nurse's station and looked at the nurse from earlier, "I need to see my daughter's doctor, she hasn't woken up yet and they said a few hours." The nurse frowned, "She hasn't woken up yet?" I nodded my head and she glanced in the room.

"I'll get Dr. Adam up here ASAP," she said, I nodded and walked away back to the room. Lucille was holding Jenni's hand and touching her hair.

"Did you call and say she hasn't woken up yet?" the doctor stormed into the room with a cart behide him and two nurses. He glanced at the machine showing her vitals, "Her BP is still low everybody, what could be reasons!" he shouted, okay maybe they were inters.

"Lucille honey come here," I called from the back of the room, she didn't want to let go of Jenni's hand, "She is fine for the moment," Dr. Adam said looking up at me, I nodded my head. "Her BP is low and she hasn't woken up. What could be wrong?" he repeated to the two people behide him.

"Internal bleeding but nothing showed up on the CAT scan or X-ray to show us,"

"What if it didn't happen to later?" he asked squirting stuff across her stomach, he rubbed it in with a wand and then turned the screen on. "Tell me the first thing you see," he called as it booted up, he moved the wand around, I saw her abdomen show up on the screen, "Blood, internal bleeding."

"Book an OR now!" he shouted, I went up to behide Lucille, Dr. Adam looked at us, "Jenni has a case of internal bleeding, and it looks like it is coming from her liver. We need to go in and fix it before it gets any worse, which could lead to death, but I am not going to let it go that far. The car must have hit it and it was already tender. From us poking it around more it probably started to bleed, I am going to get the bleeding to stop and you will see your daughter awake soon." He said, Lucille started sobbing and I wrapped my arms around her waist.

"It will be okay," I said kissing her temple; she trembled with tears and squeezed Jenni's hand. "Mr. Bolton if I could have you sign a few papers for me out at the nurses station that would be wonderful and I can get your daughter into surgery right now." I nodded my head and then I pulled Lucille off. She kissed her forehead and followed, "Stay strong," I whispered

They then wheeled her off to surgery.

End of Flashback

Gabi's POV

"Then you found us, that is basically it." He said sighing; I nodded my head and wiped a tear away, "Is Dr. Adam the one that came out here because if so he was cute!" I exclaimed, Jack rolled his eyes, "No that was on of the inters, but I think you would like him…"

"Dad, Gabi you do know I can hear you right?" Troy said keeping his eyes closed, Jack and I busted out into laughter. "Aw, it feels great to laugh." He said

I smiled and I saw Liam had fallen asleep, "Here let me put him in his car seat," I said, he looked over at Liam, "Nah its fine," I nodded my head and leaned back. I closed my eyes for a moment for it to be interrupted. "She is out of surgery," I opened my eyes to see a very cute doctor standing in front of me.

"How is she?" Jack asked standing up, Liam fussed for a second and then went back to sleep. "There was a lot more bleeding than expected but we got it under control, she did crash once her blood pressure went a little too far but we got to go back up in seconds." Lucille was standing next to Jack covering her mouth, "Can we see her?" Troy asked from behide his mom, the doctor looked up at him and was about to speak before he changed his words.

"Your Troy Bolton, I didn't know these Bolton's had any relation…" he muttered, Troy rolled his eyes, "Yea, I'm Troy the basketball superstar but can I see my sister?" he demanded, Dr. Adam refocused.

"Of course but I wouldn't take everybody back at one time," he looked at me, Jillian, and Haley, "I am going to head to my moms house for a little bit, I'll come back up tomorrow to see her." Haley said standing up with Anna on her hip. "I'll take them both there. I'll come back in about an hour,"

"Lucy do you mind if I go hang at your house for a bit? Since well I am not from around here…"

Lucille sniffled and nodded her head, "Sure thing honey," Dr. Adam then looked at me, "Where do you think I am going?" I asked him, "Well arent you just a cousin?"

"She's my girlfriend," Troy said, "Oh…so sorry," the doctor blushed and I rolled my eyes. I got up and I gripped Troy's hand. "Is he going to be crying because she isn't awake yet and I don't know how her sensitivity will be?" I looked over at Liam and thought that I just fed him and changed him. "He is a baby you want me to ask him?" Troy sneered, I put my hand on his shoulder, "I don't think but I can leave the room quickly with him." I told him, he nodded his head and then lead us back. Jack still held Liam and I held onto Troy's hand. "Troy calm down please," I whispered into his ear.

"I just want to see my sister,"

"I know you do baby but don't be mean to the person who saved her life." He looked at me and nodded his head; he pressed his lips against my hair.

"Alright now be supportive and don't rush her with anything. She should be waking up very soon and she will be in a lot of pain. It will hurt to breath from her ribs, her wrist will be immobile and she will try to use it, which will make her probably cry. We are going to get her started on a Morphine drip." He said and then walked out; I took my first peek at Jenni.

Her face was banged up just as Jack had said, her wrist was swelled from here, "They said they couldn't even get a cast on it, they might have to go in and repair it." Jack whispered, I turned to him and nodded my head. Her foot was sticking out of the blankets and you could see the pink cast from here. Lucille went over to her bedside and quickly grabbed her head. She kissed her forehead and we all followed.

We sat in silence for fifteen minutes, Liam slept the entire time and we all sat around awkwardly.

I watched Jenni take small breaths and I saw her begin to open her eyes, "Troy," I said, he looked at me and I pointed towards the bed. "Mom, Jenni she's waking up," Troy said moving from his spot near the door. As soon as Troy said the words, waking up Jenni began to cry. Jack was quick to react and was over at her bedside, "Jenni honey, calm down," he whispered into her ear. She tried to take a deep breath, which I knew hurt her worse. She screamed out in pain, which made her cry harder. It woke Liam up and I quickly grabbed him from Jack.

"Jenni daddy's here," Jack said to her, she cried and Dr. Adam came into the room. "Jenni, hey can you see your dad?" he asked, she cried harder but nodded her head yes. "That's good, if you had a pain level from 1-10 what would you rate your leg?"

She tired to control the tears but that meant taking deep breaths, "Eight," she cried

"Alright what about around your chest, "Ten!" she sobbed, Lucille went down in tears and Troy held her other hand. "Stomach?" he asked her, "nine,"

Dr. Adam wrote this all down, "It seems the ribs are giving her hell right now, I am going to have a nurse come give her more morphine." He said and walked out of the room; Troy held her hand and softly stroked it. She tried to pull her hands away but when she pulled on the hand Troy was holding she shook.

"Jenni your wrist is broke; don't try to keep moving it. It isn't in a cast because of how swelled it is." Lucille told her, I stood in the back watching the family. I held Liam and hoped that one day this was not our family, Troy glanced over at me and let go of Jenni's bad hand.

"Bring Liam over here," he said walking closer, "Troy she is in a lot of pain right now," I told him as the nurse walked by the more medication. "I know but maybe seeing Liam will help her a little bit." He told me, I took a deep breath and nodded my head. "Alright,"

He guided me back to the bed, "Hey Jenni Liam's here," Troy said softly, "Troy…your…here?" she asked in between cringes of pain, "Yea, I'm right here with Liam and Gabi." He said to her, she rolled her head over and looked at us. "Hi," she said in a small breath. I smiled at her and I put Liam down right next to her in the bed, on her good side. She moved her hand a little and rested it on his back.

She closed her eyes softly and her breathing was smooth. "She's tired," I said to Troy, he nodded his head and he let his fingers run through his hair.

"Once Mason gets back, I am ready to go back to the house. I'm tired and Liam needs to go to bed after eating and a diaper change."

"Just take my car guys," Jack said handing over the keys, Troy looked at Jenni, "She is going to do a lot of sleeping Troy, and she is tired and hurting."

"I know but I just want to be here for her," Jack looked at Troy, "And you were, now go home with your son and girlfriend. Cherish them," he said smiling, Troy reached out for my hand but I picked up Liam instead.

"Well that was rude," he said to me, I giggled and started to put him in his car seat.

"There's my phone!" I said after laying Liam down in his pack n' play, I started to unpack a little trying to find things I needed to find my phone in the car that we rode to the hospital in.

"Were you missing it?" Troy asked as he handed me some ice cream, "Not really but a little while ago I was looking for it." I said to him, he nodded his head, "Understood,"

I looked to see no missed anything but I still at Sharpay's voicemail, I clicked on it and I put the phone up to my ear.

Gabi, this is Pay and I am freaking out. I mean I am sick but I need Ms. Health teacher to tell me what is wrong! I mean god how many times does a person throw up to know it is the flu but it has been everyday for a week! I am trying to finish my last classes so I can graduate and I keep throwing up, really tired, and I have been cranky. Really cranky, but I don't want to go to the doctors. I am just sick of doctors.
