Okay I really don't think sorry will cut it this time. It took me pretty much all summer to get this chapter up and I feel horrible about it. I have just been really busy and never had anytime to sit down and work on this. So if there are any readers still out there thank you for putting up with me and all my super long delays and sorry once again, I'm really gonna work on updating sooner. Anyways here's chapter 6 and its super drama filled so hopefully that will make up for the lateness. Reviews are definitely wanted, and appreciated as always! And a shout out to my 4 reviewers from chapter five- narnia.and.the.north., X.ZaC-eFrOn-Iz-StUnNiN.X, zanessanileyLOVE, and disneyfan4ever. Thanks for your reviews!! And finally on to chapter six…"Hey Gabby. You're still in here?" Taylor asked as she came back into Addie's room.


"Yeah she hasn't woken up yet and I don't want her to be alone when she does." Gabriella said quietly as she continued watching over her daughter. The truth was she had nowhere else to be. Her mom had gone home to get her and Troy clothes and anything else they needed for a few days in the hospital. And Taylor and Chad had been in the waiting room with Troy, who still hadn't said a word to her since they learned what was wrong with Addie. So there she was sitting alone next to her sleeping daughter, mentally beating herself up for letting her anger get the best of her and saying things to the person she loved the most, that she really didn't mean.

"I can stay in here for a little while. You need to eat or something." Taylor offered but got a cold stare from Gabriella. She knew that 'something' meant talk to Troy and no matter how bad she wanted to, she knew that he wouldn't look at her let alone talk to her, so there was no way Gabriella was leaving and she was going to make sure Taylor understood that.

"No offense Taylor but I want to be the first person she sees, not you." Gabriella snapped. "Oh well sorry miss mood-swing. Excuse me for trying to help." Taylor snapped back with a hint of anger and sadness in her voice.

"I don't need your help, I don't need anyone's help. I just want to be left alone!" Gabriella said, her voice elevating a bit. She knew she was getting angry for no real reason, but she was truly getting sick of people trying to control her life in one way or another.

"Oh please Gabby the last thing you need is to be left alone. Who knows what you could do." Taylor said while staring coldly at Gabriella. "Whatever Tay. You act like you know everything when in reality you have no idea what's going on, especially with me." Gabriella said as she slowly stood up and set her hands on her hips.

"You have no idea what you're talking about Gabriella. I know you better than you know yourself. And right now it's pretty obvious that all you've been doing lately is fighting with the people who love you. Like your husband for example, yeah remember him? He's been sitting in the waiting room on the verge of a meltdown because of your little tantrum this morning." Taylor basically screamed, which caused Gabriella to get even more upset.

"Oh shut up Taylor! You were on my side this morning and now all of a sudden you're against me. Way to be a real friend." Gabriella screamed back and stood in front of Taylor with nothing but anger in her eyes.

"Yeah I was on your side until I saw Troy. He's a complete mess Gabby and it's like you don't even care! You really hurt him but once again it has to be all about you and Troy's feelings get pushed aside, as always."

"You don't even know what you're talking about! Don't pretend to care about how Troy feels, when just a few hours ago you were agreeing with every single thing I said." Gabriella yelled overtop of Taylor. She could have sworn anyone in the hospital could hear her but honestly she didn't care.

"You're right Gabby. I was agreeing with you because that's what friends do. But what you're doing to Troy is just plain wrong and I'm not just going to sit back and watch you ruin your relationship with the one person who truly loves you." Taylor screamed even louder, which definitely caught the attention of some people in the hospital. And within seconds Chad and Troy rushed into the room to see what was going on.

"I don't need you to do anything for me Taylor! I never asked you to be my guardian angel. I can take care of myself!" Gabriella yelled again, not even noticing Troy and Chad standing in the doorway.

"Whatever Gabby. It's obvious you can't care of yourself or your kids. I mean you wouldn't let Troy take care of Addie and now look at her," Taylor screamed and pointed to Addie who was surprisingly still fast asleep. "She's in the hospital Gabby!" Taylor screeched. Gabriella looked at her for a second, trying to keep herself from overreacting but what Taylor had just said was the last straw. Gabriella clenched her fists tight and narrowed her eyes at her friend, which didn't go unnoticed but Troy or Chad. They knew something was about to happen, so they decided it was about time to jump in.

"Take it back Taylor." Gabriella growled and moved a little bit closer. " I mean it. Take back what you said." She snapped, with tears threatening to fall from her eyes.

"No." Taylor said coldly. Gabriella let a single tear roll down her cheek but never took her eyes away from Taylor's. She slowly moved closer and was about to literally attack her friend but was stopped by two strong arms wrapping around her.

"Whoa you two. Calm down." Chad said as he grabbed Taylor and pulled her away as Troy did the same with Gabriella. But it still didn't seem to work because both Gabriella and Taylor tried to wiggle free from their husbands grasp. "What's wrong with you guys?" Chad asked as he pulled Taylor to the other side of the room. "And I don't want to hear, 'she started it' from either of you." Troy added as he tightened his grip on Gabriella who tried her best to break free from him, even though secretly deep down inside it felt good to be back in his arms.

"Why don't you ask your wife? She's the one who flipped out on me!" Taylor said as she too was trying to pull away from Chad. "Oh please that's so not true! You were trying to be my therapist and rule my life!" Gabriella shouted back.

"Okay who cares? Just stop fighting! You both realize that the entire hospital can hear you guys right?" Chad said, which immediately caused Gabriella and Taylor to stop struggling and calm down. "Really?" Gabriella said quietly and looked up at Troy, who just looked at her for a second and then down at the floor. Gabriella sighed and looked over at Taylor who looked just as upset as she did. Gabriella really felt awful for flipping out like she did but with everything that had gone on that day she needed to scream at someone and unfortunately Taylor picked the wrong time to try and be the supportive best friend. Both Gabriella and Taylor looked at each other for a second before slipping out of their husband's arms and then into each other's.

"I'm sorry Tay. You know I didn't mean anything I said right?" Gabriella whispered as she hugged her best friend tighter. "Of course. And you are a good mother. I don't know why I said that. I'm sorry too." Taylor said and hugged Gabriella as tight as she could, given Gabriella's growing stomach was in the way.

"Well that was fast." Chad laughed a bit to Troy as they both watched their wives forgive each other. "You got that right." Troy said before Gabriella and Taylor pulled away. "So are you guys okay now?" Chad asked and the two nodded. "Yeah it's just been a stressful day." Taylor said as she linked arms with Gabriella and they both smiled.

Everything finally seemed to be getting back to normal that was until Taylor left Gabriella's side to be with Chad. It was then; that Gabriella realized she and Troy still weren't speaking to each other. She turned towards him and saw that he was sitting with Addie, not even caring about the other people in the room. Gabriella sighed, before finally deciding that she needed to work everything out with Troy, she had no other choice. Just as she was about to say something to him, Chad's cell phone went off which caught the attention of everyone in the room. He quickly made his way out of the room and that's when Troy finally looked at Gabriella. He looked more than hurt. His normal crystal blue eyes were dark and almost lifeless, something Gabriella was not used to seeing. She knew she had to say something before it was too late.

"Troy, we need to talk." She said quickly, before he had a chance to interrupt. "I thought I told you Gabriella, I don't want to talk to you right now." He snapped and turned his attention back to Addie. "I don't care Troy, we really need to talk about everything."

"There's nothing to talk about. I now know how you really feel about me and that's all there is to it. I'm done with you Gabriella, I'm not dealing with this anymore." He said coldly, and then ignored Gabriella all together. She fought back tears as she made her way over to Taylor, who had heard they're conversation, if you could even call it that.

"What am I going to do Tay?" she said quietly, hoping Troy couldn't hear her. "Gabby don't worry he's just angry, let him cool off. I'm sure he'll be willing to talk tomorrow or something." Taylor whispered, trying to calm Gabriella down. "I don't think so Taylor. He's really upset and I don't blame him. I was awful. I really think he hates me."

"Oh don't say that. I know he doesn't hate you, he could never hate you. Just give him some time and he'll come around."

"No Taylor, you don't understand. I can't lose him. He's all I have." Gabriella sighed and felt tears building in the back of her eyes. It was really starting to hit her that Troy could leave her at any time. She said things that she wished she could take back, things that really hurt him. And honestly he had every right to be done with her. She knew she would be acting that same way if Troy had said anything like that to her.

"Well then we get him back, whatever it takes." Taylor said as she watched Gabriella slowly break down in front of her. "I don't think it's gonna be that easy Tay. He's always been stubborn, you know that." Gabriella sighed and looked over at Troy quickly, who hadn't noticed the two talking on the other side of the room. "It doesn't matter how stubborn he is, he will listen to what you have to say, no matter what we have to do."

"Okay Taylor I hope you're right. Cause I don't think I can handle fighting with him anymore." Gabriella said as her eyes wandered back over to Troy. She felt completely alone, even though they hadn't been apart for more than a day, to her it felt like forever. She was willing to do whatever it took to get Troy back, she couldn't lose him. He was her everything. "I am right. So go try and talk to him again. And don't let him tell you that he's not listening. That's just bull, no matter what he says he really does want to listen." Taylor said as she made her way over to the door. "I'll be right in the waiting room if you need me." Taylor smiled and hugged Gabriella quickly. "Good luck Gabby, even though you don't need it." She said before she left the room. "Trust me I need it." Gabriella said to herself and slowly walked up behind Troy.

"Troy can we please talk?" she said as Troy turned around and looked at her. He knew she wasn't just saying that to patch things up, she really meant it, but he still couldn't deal with what she had said. "No Gabriella I don't think we can. I told you. I have nothing to say to you." He said quietly, but never taking his eyes away from hers. "I know but I have something to say to you."

"No I think I've heard everything you've wanted to say. And I'd rather not go through that again." Troy snapped, which caught Gabriella completely off guard. "Look Troy I know what I said and did was wrong, but at least I'm trying to fix this. Unlike you, all you want to do is ignore me and make everything worse." Gabriella said louder than she wanted. She was starting to realize that she was the only one who was making an effort to fix what happened. Troy on the other hand was doing everything possible to make the problem bigger than it had to be.

"How am I making things worse?! I didn't do anything Gabriella! And I certainly didn't ask you to flip out me every chance you had today. That was all on you!" Troy yelled back which instantly got Gabriella upset. Troy sighed when he saw tears forming in her eyes. He was upset and he knew he had to let her know how he felt but he obviously didn't want to hurt her more. "Look Gab.."

"No Troy. You're right. This is all my fault and I know that." She said as she started to cry all over again. "But I want to fix it. I'm willing to do whatever it takes to do that. Why aren't you?"

"I don't know if it can be fixed. And I know it can't be now, so I'm going to go." Troy said as he headed for the door. Gabriella quickly caught up to him and grabbed his arm. "No Troy. You're not going anywhere. You're gonna listen to everything I have to say." She said as she stood in front of the door.

"Oh really? Well that's going to be pretty hard with out me being here." Troy said pulling Gabriella away from the door opened it to leave.

"Yeah nice try Troy. You're not going anywhere." Taylor said as she pushed him back inside and winked at Gabriella. Some how she knew Gabriella would need some sort of help so she stayed, figuring Troy would try to get away from working things out.

"So are you ready to listen?" Gabriella said as the door shut in front of Troy and he turned around. He looked at her shrugged, "No, but its obvious I have no other choice." He snapped and walked back over to Addie and sat down with her. Gabriella sighed and followed behind but decided it was best to just let things take their course. Troy obviously didn't want to hear what she wanted to say so she would just have to find a better time to get him back.

"You know, she's exactly like you." Gabriella said softly, surprising Troy, who thought the first thing out of her mouth would be something about their fight. He just nodded a bit and stayed focused on Addie. "She's a fighter, a sweet heart, and as stubborn as can be." Gabriella said which pulled a little laugh out of Troy. "She still won't wear that shirt I bought her with the books on it. She says its 'not pretty enough' for her." Gabriella giggled a bit and Troy smiled. "Well she's right, it is pretty ugly." Troy said with a laugh and Gabriella gasped a bit in shock. "It's not ugly. Amber wears it all the time. She loves it."

"That's because Amber is more like your twin than Addie's." Troy said as he finally made eye contact with Gabriella. "She's smart as a whip, adorable, and as stubborn as can be." Troy said, copying Gabriella. "I am not stubborn Troy." She said as she crossed her arms over her chest. He looked up at her and she knew what he meant. "Okay so I'm a little stubborn."

"Yeah just a little." He joked and Gabriella smiled a bit. She was so happy to actually be having a normal conversation with Troy. Even though it hadn't even been a day since they fought, more like five minutes, it still felt like it had been forever. They both looked at each other for what seemed like a lifetime, and finally for once that day all their problems seemed to disappear. Just when Gabriella thought Troy would forgive her something broke the silence in the room.

"Daddy? Mommy?" Addie's groggy voice echoed throughout her room. Both Gabriella and Troy immediately looked over at her bed and saw that she was finally awake. They quickly walked over to her and both of them breathed a sigh of relief. "Hey sweetie." Gabriella said softly.

"What happen mommy?" Addie asked as she looked around, not knowing where she was. "You had a boo boo in your tummy." Gabriella answered which scared Addie a bit. "But don't worry princess it's all better now." Troy jumped in as he saw a few tears threaten to fall from his daughter's eyes. "Everything all better?" Addie asked and Gabriella looked over at Troy, who nodded slightly and smiled, letting her know that everything was going to be okay between them. "Yeah honey everything is all better." Troy said and Gabriella wrapped her arms around him. "I really am sorry Troy, I hope you know that." She whispered so Addie couldn't hear her. "I do know that, now."
