Chapter 9: The beating and kidnapping
Troy's POV
She was about to give me an answer when something broke the glass balcony. Gabriella screamed in fear while I turned over to where the crash happened and there was four tall guys in black. The tallest one ran at me and tackled me to the floor and I punched him in the face. I heard Gabriella scream and I saw her being lifted out by two of the guys. "Gabriella!" I screamed. "Troy! Help me!" She screamed. I tried to get the guy off me and when I did the other guy got the only guy left in the situation that wasn't doing anything got on top of me. He grabbed my head and slammed it on the ground. My vision was fuzzy and before I blacked out. I heard Gabriella's sobs for help and her screaming my name…
When I woke up I was in the middle of a room and there was this annoying beeping and it wouldn't stop. "Shut that god damn beeping up." I growled in annoyance. "Troy!" I opened my eyes to see my mother and father looming over me with worried faces. I looked around and realized that I wasn't in my room or Gabriella's. Wait. Gabriella! I shot up in my bed, but then I felt a sharp pain in my head. I groaned in pain. "Troy lay down! You're going to hurt yourself again!" My mother said.
I just looked around and I saw that I was in the hospital. Ignoring my parents pleas to lay back down I asked the question that we all were waiting for. "Where's Gabriella." I demanded. My parent's faces dropped and sadness showed in their eyes. "Troy…Son…" My dad said sadly. "Tell me!" I yelled not wanting to believe the worst. "Troy…They found Gabriella…" My mother said. I smiled. "That's Great!" I exclaimed. "No Troy let me finish. They found her, but she was in critical condition…She's in the hospital on life support in a coma…They don't know if she'll ever wake up and even if she does…She most likely won't remember you…" Mom finished. My world all at once fell apart. I felt like there was nothing in this world to live for. Nothing to keep me breathing.
"What happened…How'd they get her." I said quietly. "Chad heard the screaming and the crash before anyone else did. He went to his window and saw Gabriella getting kidnapped. He ran down the stairs and by the time he was out the door they had her loaded up and were driving off. He ran after them and followed them to where they dropped her off. He was able to get her breathing again and took her to the hospital immediately. They were lucky enough to keep her going…" My father explained. "I have to see her." I said. "Troy…It'd be best not to-" He started. "I want to see her! I have every right to see her!" I screamed trying to get up. Alarms started going off and doctors and nurses ran in seeing me trying to get up.
The nurses ran over to me and forced me back down while the doctor gave me a shot of something. I felt my body go limp and relaxed. I felt my eyes get heavy and they fell closed. It's my fault she's in here… I thought before I went to sleep…
When I woke up I saw I was being watched by a doctor. When he noticed I was awake he smiled. "How are you feeling Mr. Bolton?" He asked. "Like I got stabbed in the fucking head with a knife a billion times." I said in pain. He nods and writes on his stupid clipboard. "Well we're going to run a few tests on you just to make sure you're ok and we haven't missed anything and then you'll be free to go. I just nodded and watched him leave. I sighed and looked out the window. It was a beautiful day with the sun shining and the birds chirping and flying around.
When I got the tests done and determined I was fine I got to leave. I was getting dressed I thought about what Gabriella was going to answer me with. Was it going to no? Or maybe she would have said yes? I don't know. I may never be able to get my answer. "Troy? You ready?" My mom asked. "Yeah…But I need to do something before I leave…" She knew what I meant and nodded. I walked out of the room and when down to the ICU. I went over to the desk. "I'm here to see Gabriella Montez." I said. "Relationship with her?" The receptionist asked. "Boyfriend." I stated. She didn't look up and said, "Go head room 48C. Down the hall to the right and then a left and walk to the end of the hall and she's the last door on the left." I nodded and followed her directions. I finally came up to room 48C and stood there for a second then went in.
What I saw made my heart ache in pain. There was Gabriella with tubes and machines hooked up all over her body. She was covered in bruises and cuts. Her once glowing tan skin was now a sickly pale. I barely recognized her, but she was still the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. I went over to her bedside and took her very tiny hand in mine. "Hey Gabi…I just got released today…I just wanted to see you before I leave. I'm going to visit tomorrow. Ok?" I said. I got silence. "I'm sorry…I'm so sorry I wasn't able to save you…I should have tried harder, but I didn't. I failed you and now you're in here because of me. If you wake up than I swear to god I'll make it up to you. I'll treat like the princess you are and I'll kiss you every day until you get so sick of it." I chuckled. "I love you…Please don't leave me…" I sobbed out. I checked the time once I was done and I sighed. "I'll come back I promise. Everyday 'till you wake up." I walked out and thinking about how I was going to keep this promise…
