A/N I DON'T OWN ANYTHING!
Later on that evening Gabriella found herself in a black room.
"Hello? Hello?" she called out.
"Gabi!"
Gabriella turned at the voice and her eyes went wide.
"Mom? Dad!"
She ran and hugged them, then pulled away.
"Wait a second you guys are dead. Am I dead too?"
"No sweetie. You needed us so we came to you." Maria said.
"We know you don't believe Mark baby" Greg said.
"I don't know who to believe." Gabriella whispered softly.
"You believe us?"
"Always."
"Then believe us when we say believe Mark. Everything he told you was as true as it gets. I was sick baby I was very, very sick and I did horrible things to you. If I could go back and do it over I would do it in a heartbeat."
"So you were abused?"
"Yes."
"I'm sorry dad."
"I'm sorry baby I spent sixteen years of your life beating you then I let men touch you and because of that you can't have babies. Then I shoot people…I shot your mother." Greg cried.
"Shhh I told you I forgive you." Maria said rubbing his back.
"Dad so do I. I forgave you years ago."
"But you did doubt my love for you and your mom?"
Gabriella didn't say anything.
"We don't blame you Angel. We understand why you wanted answers. We are just glad you got the answers you were looking for."
"So you're not mad at me?"
"No of course not baby. We love you and we just want you to be happy." Maria smiled.
"I am. I've very happy now. I have everything I've always wanted since I was a little."
"You've got a family" Greg asked.
"Yep. Even if I can't have children of my own I have Ashley and she's mine in every way that matters."
"I'm glad you're happy baby girl. That's all either of us ever wanted for you."
"I know mom."
The shared another hug as her parents started to fade. "Mom? Dad?"
"Goodbye baby have a great life we will always be watching over you." Maria said.
"NO don't go!"
"I love you so much baby girl." Greg said.
"No don't go."
Their voices faded and they were gone.
"No!" Gabriella shot up in bed. She looked around and calmed down as she felt Troy rubbing her back.
"It's ok baby it was just a bad dream." He soothed.
"It wasn't a bad dream or a good one…I…I don't even know…"
"What was it about baby you're shaking?"
"I saw my mom and dad."
"What?"
"They came to me and told me Mark was telling the truth. They told me I could believe him. They told me the truth."
"So that's good."
"Yeah but then they started to fade and I lost them all over again."
"You'll never lose them Gabriella they will always be in your heart."
"I know and you know what else I know."
"What?"
"That even after everything that happen everything is going to be ok."
Gabriella wrapped her arms around her stomach.
"Gabriella are you….?"
"No but that's ok because I already have everything I've ever wanted."
"What's that?"
"A family."
Troy smiled.
"You, me, Ashley, Lucille, and Jack are a family."
"Forever and always Angel girl forever and always.
A/N that's the end and this is my longest chapter story I have ever written. I want to thank all of you. I had no idea Help Her Heal would end up being such a big hit like it was. This is the end though guys. Help Her Heal series is done. The next story I'm working on is By her Side- Gabriella never had a true friend. The friends she did have always left her for her cooler and more popular older sister. When new kid Troy Bolton comes around. Gabriella hides her life from him in fear of losing him. But that gets harder when they get together and Troy wants to meet her family. Will Troy fall for the spell or will he stay loyal? It will most likely be out tomorrow. Thanks for everything guys, thanks for adding me and my story to you alerts and favorites. It really means a lot to me.
