Troy rushed to the other side of the hallway and entered through the backdoor of the theater room. The front door was locked two years ago because the door was dysfunctional. Once locked, it wouldn't open without outside help. No one wanted to risk getting locked up inside. Therefore, the front door was securely locked with Gabrielle��s fingerprint.
As soon as Troy stepped into the theater room, he turned on the lights. As soon as Danica came in his sight his heart wrenched seeing her crouched on the floor with her eyes shut close and cheeks stained with dried tear marks.
��Danica!�� Troy ran to Danica and took her hands in his to find them cold. "Hey, Dani," he tried calling her, desperately rubbing her hand to get a response. Seeing as she made no movement, he picked her up in his arms and got out of the theater room through the backdoor. He took Danica to his room, hollering on the way, ��Gab, Trevor, Hernan, come here ASAP.��
Being panicked, Troy hurriedly placed Danica on the bed and covered her up with the blanket. A gush of relief splashed over to him after finding her. But his happiness didn��t last long when he cupped her cheek. He immediately placed his hand on her forehead, which was burning up. She had a high fever.
Troy took out his phone from the pocket and dialed his uncle��s number, who was a doctor.
Gabrielle, Trevor, Kenji, and Hernan entered Troy��s room.
A gasp escaped from Gabrielle��s lips. ��Oh my god.�� She ran to Danica and started to rub her hands. ��Dani...where did you find her? Shit, she has a fever too.��
Troy cut the call and looked at Danica's pale face, stained with tears. He wanted to think it was all an accident, but he knew it wasn��t; especially if she entered the theater room with the front sealed door. Once she wakes up, I will kill whoever did this to her, decided Troy in his mind.
��Troy?�� Trevor placed a hand on Troy��s shoulder. ��Did you call your uncle?��
��Yes,�� he replied with a nod. ��He will be arriving soon.��
��I will bring some warm water and a soft cloth,�� Hernan announced and took Kenji with him.
��Where did you find her?�� Gabrielle asked once again.
Troy walked towards Danica and Gabrielle shifted to sit on the other side of the bed. She waited until Troy sat in her place. He grabbed Danica��s hand and caressed them softly. He was longing to see her open her eyes. The past few minutes were one of the scariest moments of his life. When he saw Danica unconscious, he felt like someone stabbed his heart several times. He wouldn��t feel better until the doctor checked her and announced that Danica was okay.
��I found her in the theater,�� he answered Gabrielle's question.
��What?�� Trevor and Gabrielle let out at once.
Troy nodded his head. ��We will talk about it later. Where is Hernan? He didn��t bring the water and cloth yet.��
��I will check,�� Trevor said and went out.
��Troy,�� Gabrielle started, ��I swear I didn't unlock the door. I am confused who���� Troy interrupted her.
��Kenji Abraham.�� He further spoke, ��I have doubts about him and I know you, Gab. You wouldn't do that. Someone stole your fingerprint from whatever you touched and used it.��
��Why would Kenji harm Danica? If he wants to harm someone, it should be you, or me because I am your sister,�� Gabrielle pointed out.
Troy let out a humorless chuckle. He pushed the few strands of brown hair behind Danica��s hair, looking at her with a soft gaze. ��That bastard always knew what Danica meant to me since high school.��
��What if it was all an accident with Dani and Kenji really changed?�� Trevor blurted out, entering the room. He handed the bowl of water and cloth to Gabrielle who started to do her work. ��Hernan and Kenji had some work so they didn��t come here.��
��There is rarely a chance for it to be an accident. But we can only be sure of everything after she wakes up,�� Troy replied to Trevor and stared at her with pure concern. Did something happen to her when she was stuck? She must��ve called out for help, but the theater room is soundproof, thought Troy.
��Are you okay, Troy?�� Trevor asked him, pulling out a chair to sit near Troy.
��I won��t be unless she is okay,�� he responded and said to his sister, ��I was getting an uneasy feeling too, but I didn��t want to stress you.��
��Okay, after Uncle Mathew checks her up, we can take her to my room and I will tak���� Gabrielle was interrupted by Troy.
��She will stay here tonight. I will take care of Danica.��
Gabrielle raised her eyebrows in amusement, while Trevor just chuckled. ��Okay, brother.��

After the doctor checked Danica, he prescribed some medicine for her and said that she would be okay soon. She fainted due to her fever. The doctor gave her an injection which kept her asleep for the rest of the evening. However, she should be awake by night.
Since it was night, everyone went to sleep in their respective rooms. Troy was reading an online article published about him and Danica because he didn��t want to sleep until Danica was recovered. What if she needed him at night? So he was sitting on the bed, next to her.
��Tronica��are they couple goals? Definitely�� - it was the headline of the article. There was written how their WhyNTube live kiss got viral and their previous stories were revealed too. Fans and the paparazzi really loved digging past stories.
Troy was busy reading it, his mind occasionally shifting to how scared he was when he lost Danica. He stole glances from her to see whether she woke up yet or not.
Almost after waiting for three hours, Troy was feeling drowsy. His eyelids were about to close but that was when he heard a faint voice, ��Troy����
He looked at Danica and he sighed in relief once his blue eyes fell on her hazel ones. ��Hey... how are you feeling?�� he inquired and made her half-sit from the lying position. He checked her temperature, and it was still warm. ��The fever didn��t go yet,�� he mumbled.
��Troy, I need some water,�� she spoke up, and Troy realized how much he was striving to hear the familiar voice again.
��Okay, I need to give you warm water because Uncle Mathew told me to serve you warm water. It will cure you faster than usual,�� he told her and took the flask from the nightstand. He poured the water into a glass and handed it to her. ��Drink it. If you want something else, you can tell me, and I will be at your service.��
Danica furrowed her eyebrows, being confused. ��Uncle Mathew? Why was he here?�� She drank the water and handed the glass back to him.
He shrugged and kept the glass back on the tray. ��He is a doctor, so I called him to check up on you.��
Danica burst into fits of laughter hearing him. ��Troy, you called Uncle Mathew just for a tiny matter?�� She continued laughing.
Hearing her melodious laugh, a smile formed on his lips. He scratched the back of his head and said, ��Now it does sound silly. But I couldn��t help myself. I was so scared I ended up calling Uncle Mathew. I was worried sick until he told me that you were okay.��
She shook her head slightly, her laughter stopped but her smile didn��t fade away. ��I only fainted. I didn't die.�� As soon as she mumbled that, Troy��s smile disappeared, and he cupped her cheeks.
��I would rather kill the doctor than to have him announce you dead,�� he breathed out, his forehead connecting with hers. Even the thought of Danica dying was a nightmare to Troy. He couldn��t even imagine it.
Danica was loving their posture, her forehead with his, her cheeks cupped in his hands��it was a perfect Tronica moment.
After their moment, Danica held Troy��s hand and asked with a grin, her eyes glinting in happiness, ��So... Do you also like me more than a friend, Mr. Troy Kingston?��
