Well, this story has come to a finish. I want to thank all of my reviewers, and encourage you to send me PM's if you want me to check out your stories or have any idea of what else I can write.

Thanks again, and here's the final chapter:

All the way back to Albuquerque, Gabriella fretted. As she came off the plane, she straightened out her skirt and top, soon escorted off the runway by a taxi-man. He carried her two suitcases into the taxi as Gabriella sat in the back-seat, her eyes adopting a glazed over look. The taxi-driver obviously had instructions from Marcus, because he drove her directly to the hospital.

"I'll drop your things off at your mother's home," the taxi-driver said. Gabriella sighed, gave a small, tired smile and climbed the stairs into hospital. She was greeted by the arms of Taylor.

"Hey, sweetie," Taylor murmured into Gabriella's hair. Gabriella cried into Taylor's shoulder before stammering,

"How'd you get here so fast?"

"My mum rang me," Taylor replied. Gabriella pulled away and Taylor guided her along the hallways. "Troy and the rest are up there." Taylor led them into a lift and pressed for the third floor. When they arrived, Troy saw her and rushed over. His lips touched her forehead and she felt more tears well behind her eyes.

"She's in a coma," Troy whispered. Gabriella walked over to the bed-side and looked at her mother. Mrs Montez's eyes were closed and there were scratches on her cheeks and forehead. A bandage was around her head, messing up her hair.

"She looks so peaceful," Gabriella murmured. Slowly, the rest of the gang minus Troy left. Troy came up behind Gabriella and put a hand on her arm. Gabriella glanced up at him, eyes filled with pain, misery and tears. Troy felt at lost for words, and a song playing on the radio next door drifted through to them.

The strands in your eyes that colour them wonderful
Stop me and steal my breath
Emeralds from mountains thrust toward the sky
Never revealing their depth
Tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated
I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above

Gabriella turned back to her mother, tears beginning to come down her cheeks.

"I should never have left," Gabriella murmured. Troy wasn't sure what to say, and decided it was best not to say anything. He just remained silent, thinking of the words to the song, I'll Be, by Edwin McCain. He moved closer to Gabriella.

I'll be your crying shoulder
I'll be your love suicide
And I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life

The dramatic chorus finished playing, and Gabriella's shoulders were rocking from her crying. Troy shook his head and put his arms around Gabriella, turning her away from her mother and into his arms. Gabriella cried into his shoulder her small arms clutched close to her sides. Troy made comforting noises, stroking her hair and patting her back.

"It's alright, she'll be okay."

Rain falls angry on the tin roof
As we lie awake in my bed
You're my survival, you're my living proof
My love is alive not dead
Tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache, that hang from above

Finally, Gabriella's tears subsided. Troy kept an arm over her shoulders as they turned and looked down at Mrs Montez laying in the bed.

I'll be your crying shoulder
I'll be your love suicide
And I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life

A nurse came in a few minutes later and gave Gabriella and Troy sympathetic looks before saying,

"I'm sorry, but visiting hours are over." Gabriella nodded, and giving her mother one last look, allowed Troy to lead her out of the room. He led her down the hallway to the lift, where he pressed for the ground floor.

I've been dropped out, burned up
Fought my way back from the dead
Tuned in, turned on
Remembered the things that you said

The gang was all waiting, and all rushed in and enveloped Gabriella in one huge hug. Taylor, Sharpay and Kelsi all hugged Gabriella, the boys hanging back sort of awkwardly, before the girls made room for them and they joined in as well. A few people gave them odd looks, but the rest just gave them smiles before passing.

Gabriella couldn't help but smile.

"Thanks, you guys are the best."

"We know," Chad answered in his cocky voice. They started laughing in a subdued way.

I'll be your crying shoulder
I'll be your love suicide
And I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life

"Come on," Ryan began as they walked out of the hospital. "Let's go grab some dinner." They all nodded obligingly and began to walk into town. Troy slipped his arm over her shoulders as they strode down the sidewalk.

Together.

I know the endings a little corny. I'm sorry if your guys feel there should be a sequel. There was going to be, but then I decided not to. Since this is a fanfic from a Disney Move, everyone knows that Gabriella's mum will be fine and Troy and Gabriella will stay together.

Please review for me one last time!!!!!!!!
