A/N I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING! I ONLY OWN THIS PLOT! THIS IS THE FIRST CHAPTER PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF I SHOULD CONTINUE OR NOT!


News…news…news….history….news…news…

That's all Troy Bolton could find on tv as he searched through the channels for something to watch. It was raining outside she he couldn't play basketball and none of his friends were free to hang out.

News…news…. "We're reporting live from the Montez household where Maria Montez….news….

Troy stopped and went back. Montez was his girlfriends last name. He looked at sight on the tv. That was his girlfriends house. What was going on?

"We are not sure what has happen inside this house all we know is that a neighbor heard screaming and called the police. Police are inside right now looking for any sign of life in the house but so far has found none."

Troy jumped off the couch and grabbed his jacket he threw open the door.

"Troy Bolton where are you going during this storm?" His father asked.

"Look at the news!"

That was all Troy said before running out the door and toward his girlfriends house. It was surrounds by cops and neighbors and news crew men. The house was blocked off and they weren't letting anyone past the driveway. He ran over and tried to get through.

"I'm sorry sir. No one is allowed in."

"Please my girlfriend is in there. I need to see her!" Troy begged.

"Girlfriend? Is your name Troy Bolton?"

"Yes."

"Come with me."

The cop let Troy through. The cop and Troy walked to the front door which had be been blocked off as well with caution tape.

"Officer Stone. This is Troy Bolton." The other cop called.

A different cop walked over. "I'm Officer Stone. You're Troy Bolton, Gabriella Montez is your girlfriend?"

"Yes, please tell me she is ok!"

"She is alive. That's all we know. She won't let anyone close enough to her for us to find out more. She's been calling out for you."

"Show me where she is."

The other cop went back outside and Stone led Troy into the dining room. Cops, and doctors surround a small corner.

"Guys back up. The Boyfriend is here." Stone said.

Everyone moved away and when they did Troy gasped. Gabriella was sitting curled up in back shaking and crying hysterically. Her hair was a mess, her clothes were ripped and torn, she had a few scratches and bruises on her face. He rushed over to her.

"Hey my Beautiful Girl, hey, what's with the tears?" he asked gently.

She looked up and reached her arms out to him like a small child asking to be held.

Troy took her into his arms without questions. She buried her face in the crook of his neck and wrapped her legs around his waist and her arms around his neck, her fingers clinging to his shirt. He rubbed her back and kissed her cheek.

"I'm here now. I've got you. You're safe."

Stone came back over.

"Do you think you can get her to let one of the doctors look at her?"

"I can try but Gabriella is normally shy on a good day. I don't know if she'll trust anyone."

Stone just nodded and walked away. Troy kissed Gabriella's cheek again.

"Hey my pretty girl listen, you need to be checked out by a doctor so we can get your cuts taken care of. Can you let the doctors look at you?"

"N-no gu-guys." Gabriella whimpered softly.

"You want a girl doctor?"

Gabriella nodded. Troy walked over to the door. Stone was standing there.

"She'll agree but she only feels comfortable with a female nurse."

"OK, take her over to my wife Cindy, she is used to working with children so she will be able to handle someone as frightened as Gabriella."

Troy nodded and walked out of the house. He was instantly blinded by flashing lights and cameras and microphones being shoved in his face. Everyone started yelling questions at him. Gabriella screamed and started cry squirming in Troy's arms.

"Go! Go!" she screamed.

Not knowing what else to do Troy turned his back to them shielding Gabriella from them. Stone saw what happen and made them all leave.

"It's ok now. They're gone." Stone said to Troy. Troy turned back around. He made his way outside and over to one of the nurse.

"Cindy?" Troy asked.

"Yes, you're Troy?"

Yes, and this is Gabriella…the victim in all this mess. She's really shut down and scared. Stone said you'd be able to help her."

"Yes…well I can try. Now I'm sure she won't answer to me so I'll ask you then you can ask her all right?"

"Ok."

"Ask her how she wants to do this. What can I do to make her feel more comfortable?"

Troy looked to his girlfriend.

"What Cindy can do so you're comfortable?"

"You…stay…hold…" Gabriella muttered.

"She wants me to stay and hold her."

"Ok, come sit on this bed."

Troy went and sat down on the bed.

"Ok Gabriella I'm going to need you to look up at me." Cindy said.

Gabriella slowly lifted her head. "Hi…" she said shyly.

"Hello Gabriella. My name is Cindy. I'm just going to look over the cuts on your face ok. If I do something you don't like or that hurts just tell me and I'll stop right away ok."

"…K…"

Cindy gently touched Gabriella's face. She had a long scratch running along her cheek bone. It started at the start of her cheek bone and ended right by her eyes. It was pretty deep. The other scratches weren't as bad.

"Hands….cold…" Gabriella muttered.

"Sorry about that dear. You've got a pretty deep cut on your cheek bone here but nothing a few butterfly stitches can't fix."

"No!" Gabriella whimpered pulling her head bad. "No needles."

"No needles. Butterfly stitches work like a band aid no needles involved. The only part that might hurt is cleaning. We'll have to use some disinfectant spray and that will be the worst of it."

Gabriella sighed and nodded. The doctor cleaned all her small wounds first. Finally she came to the big one.

"Ok Gabriella on the counter three I'm going to spray all right. 1…"

Gabriella laid her head on Troy's chest. She knew she'd moved instinctively and knew Troy would help her hold still. Troy gently put his hand on her head.

"2… close your eyes Gabriella."

Gabriella closed her eyes.

Troy moved his hand over to her eyes to help shield them from the spray.

"3…"

Gabriella whimpered and flinched as the cold spray stung her cheek. Tears started to fall down her cheeks making it sting worse.

"All right baby. All right It's over. Shhhh." Troy soothed as he kissed her head.

Cindy put a few butterfly stitches on Gabriella's face and finally told her she could rest. She wasted no time before burring her face back into Troy's neck.

"I'm going to give you this Troy. It's just a cream to put on her wounds to help the heal better. I think she will feel better if you put it on."

Cindy handed him a small tube of cream.

"Ok, why isn't she speaking a lot?"

"It's just part of the shock. She talk a little more as it wears off."

"Ok."

"Now I'd like to check her internal injuries."

"Ok, how."

"Lay her down."

Troy gently pulled Gabriella away from him and went to lay her down. Gabriella started to cry and reached her hands up trying to cling onto him.

"No! No!"

"It's ok baby girl. It's ok."

"No down no down!"

Troy finally got her down onto her back but she sat right back up.

"No down." She cried, "No down!"

"It's ok baby girl. You're safe."

"No down."

"Why not baby girl. Why does laying on your back upset you?"

"Hurts."

"Can we lift your shirt and see your back?"

"No."

"We won't hurt you." Cindy said.

Gabriella shook her head.

"No hurt…I lie"

"Why baby girl?"

"I no want to say truth."

"Please tell us the truth baby girl. Why don't you want to lay down?"

"Scary. Defenseless."

"You feel defenseless laying on your back?" Troy asked.

"Yes…"

"No one is going to hurt you. I promise. I'll be right here making sure no one will hurt you."

Gabriella sighed and nodded. She laid down onto her back and took a deep breath. She felt Troy rubbing her leg.

"You're safe baby girl. I'm right here."

Cindy finished up the exam. Gabriella sat up and cuddled back into Troy.

"OK, everything else looks good. Just take her home."

"Thank you." Troy said.

He lifted Gabriella and carried her all the way back to his house. He took her right into his room. He laid down and laid Gabriella down on onto his body. She clung to him. He rubbed her back and gently started to sing to her. His singing always helped calmed her down in the past and sure enough Gabriella relaxed and was sound asleep.

"You're safe now baby girl. Just get some sleep I'm right here."

Troy rubbed her back but couldn't sleep. His mind was too wired. He couldn't stop trying to figure out what happen in that house and what happen to Gabriella and her mother? Sighing he closed his eyes and tried to get some sleep. It had been a crazy night.
