What Goes Around Comes Back Around

The Accident

Rating: T

Gabriella was driving home from the recording studio. Suddenly she heard a certain voice come on the radio. It was the voice she knew all too well, it was Troy Bolton's. She turned it up, and began to listen to the song she had never heard before. She soon realized the song was about her, and before she knew it tears were streaming down her face. She was reliving the painful break up, while getting so mad that he did this to her. So distraught, she did not realize her car was traveling towards a streetlight, and suddenly everything went black.

Meanwhile…

Troy walked into his bedroom and flipped on the TV. On was an entertainment news show. He got changed, not really paying attention.

"And breaking news, Gabriella Montez," Troy heard from the Tv. He rushed over to it and watched intently. "Crashed into a streetlight in Santa Monica this afternoon. Unconscious, she was taken to a nearby hospital. Her present condition is unknown. We will inform you immediately when more information is known…" Troy's heart skipped a beat. Gabriella Montez, his high school sweetheart, the love of his life, was in the hospital. He stood there for a second in shock. He then grabbed his keys and ran out of the house. Getting into his car, he flipped open his phone and dialed a number.

"Hello," Taylor replied.

"Is she okay?" Troy asked anxiously.

"Troy?" Taylor asked confused.

"Yes it is me," he said annoyed. "Now is Gabriella okay!"

"Why do you care?" Taylor spat back. Taylor and Chad were still together, so he was still friends with her, however she was currently pissed at him because of his new song.

"Did you seriously just ask that question Taylor?" he asked her.

"Whatever, she is fine," Taylor replied.

"Oh thank god," he sighed in relief. Taylor couldn't help but smile at this.

"You're on your way here, aren't you," she said knowing him all to well.

"Yep," he replied.

"Okay," she laughed.

About 15 minutes later he arrived at the hospital and found Taylor, Chad, and a few other people in a waiting room.

"Where is she?" Troy asked in anticipation.

"Well hello to you too Troy," Chad replied and he glared at him.

"Room 213," Taylor replied and he walked off. He found her room and opened the door slowly. Ms. Montez was standing next to her bed talking to Gabriella.

"Hi," Troy said walking in and they both turned to him. Gabriella's jaw dropped and Ms. Montez smiled.

"You know I am a little thirsty, I will be back," Ms. Montez lied and darted out.

"What the hell are you doing here," Gabriella sneered.

"I heard what happened, I wanted to see if you were okay," he replied. As much as she wanted to smile at that, she just couldn't, for he was the cause of the accident in the first place.

"Why do you care?" she asked incredulously.

"People really need to stop asking me that," he replied.

"It's a legit question Troy," she said seriously. "You just wrote a song completely dissing me," she said and he bowed his head, "for god sakes if it wasn't for you I wouldn't be lying here in the first place!"

His head popped up, "what?" he said confused.

"Yeah Troy, I heard your song for the first time on the radio. I burst into tears. I was so distraught I ran into a street light! Now I have two broken ribs and a concussion!" she exclaimed. He stood there shaking speechless. "Yeah Troy, it is all your fault!" she screamed sitting up and then wrapped her arm around her chest. "Ow," she groaned in pain and he ran to her side.

"What is it? Are you okay? What happened," he said quickly.

"The screaming…it hurt," she groaned. At this point he was about to break into tears.

"Here lay back down," he said caringly, and she slowly laid back down. He grabbed a chair and sat right next to her bed. She whimpered in pain once again, and grabbed is hand.

"It's okay, you are going to be okay," he said rubbing her hand. "Do you want me to get a nurse?" she just shook her head.

"Why did you do it Troy?" she asked through all of her pain. At this point he had tears streaming down his face. The fact that he had caused all of this pain broke his heart.

"I was trying to move on," he replied. Suddenly her chest was not hurting as much anymore. She looked at him in shock.

"You mean…" she stared at him still shocked and he nodded. "You still…"

"Of course," he replied playing with her hand.

"But I…" she said, referring to the fact that she had cheated on him.

"You did it to make sure I was the one that you wanted to spend the rest of your life with me right?" he asked and she nodded. "Well you should have told me that."

"I thought that would make everything worse," Gabriella replied, tears welling up in her eyes.

"It wouldn't have if you had told me what you learned from that one night," he said and she nodded.

"I learned what I already knew Troy," she replied. Before he could answer she squeezed his hand tightly again. "Ow, ow, ow!" He got out of the chair and stood up so he was right over her.

"I am right here baby, you will get through this," he said, stroking her cheek and she nodded weakly. She then took a deep breath for the pain was gone.

"Did you just call me baby?" she asked raising her eyebrows.

"Well whether you like it or not, to me you will always be my baby girl," he smiled at her. She placed a hand on his cheek.

"I don't mind," she smiled. They looked at each other and slowly leaned in. Their lips met in a soft chaste kiss. Sparks ran through their body, just as they did every time they kissed. They both pulled away smiling. He brought her hand up to his lips and kissed it lightly.

"Is this what you want Troy," she asked.

"Gabi when I saw that you had gotten to a car crash, my heart stopped The thought of you in pain and seeing you hurt, breaks my heart. I was so scared. If god forbid something worse happened, I would never forgive myself. I could never forgive myself for letting you go. A world without you flashed before my eyes and I couldn't take it. I know we have been through a lot of shit, and there are some things we probably need to sort out, but in the end I love you Gabriella Montez," he said with all of his heart, as tears flowed down her face.

"I love you too, Troy," she said through her tears. He smiled and kissed her forehead. "Will you lay with me?"

"Of course," he smiled. She moved over a little bit, and he climbed onto the bed next to her. She rested her head on his shoulder.

"I am so so sorry," he whispered to her. "I should have never written that song, I was just hurt."

"It's okay, plus, it brought us back together," she replied. He leaned in and kissed her passionately.

Outside…

"He has been in there longer than expected, what do you think they are doing?" Taylor asked.

"Making out," Chad scoffed and Taylor laughed. They sat there for a second in silence.

"Wanna go see," Taylor asked in a mischievous tone.

"Well if there is one thing I am good at it is interrupting a Troy and Gabriella make out session," Chad replied.

"Let's go," Taylor said and they sprang out of their chairs. They walked into the room unnoticed for Troy and Gabriella were still making out. They stood there in silence for a few moments, until Chad felt he had to break it up.

"Told you I was good," he said to Taylor who laughed. Troy and Gabriella pulled apart and froze.

"Very funny," Troy said sitting up.

"That didn't take too long," Taylor said.

"Well a world without her flashed before my eyes. I realized that without her in my world I would be nothing," he replied and she smiled.

"So after everything you put the two of us through, you get back together," Chad said.

"Well you know what they say," Troy said looking into Gabriella's eyes and brushing his hand across her cheek, "what goes around always comes back around."
