Living Without You
Well seeing as this is my first foray back into writing I thought I'd start out with a Kelsi/Ryan story. I might have used some of the plot line from various things like the video to Green Day's song "When September ends" but its good in its own right.
Enjoy. Oh and I don't own HSM or Green Day :)

Ryan sat in his room looking over the letter that he had just received.
"Well, I guess its official" he said to himself, as he folded it up and went to his father's study. His heart was pounding as he knocked on the door.
"Enter" responded a voice from the other side "Ah. Ryan my boy, how are you doing?" His father asked, smiling and gesturing for Ryan to sit down in the chair across from his desk.
"Good dad, I guess" Ryan answered uncertainly.
"Great, how's Kelsi?" Vance asked cheerfully, smiling at the thought of the small composer, who would hopefully become his daughter in law one day.
"She's good dad" He paused for a moment swallowing a big lump in his throat and hoping what he was about to say came out clear enough
"Dad, we need to talk" he said, his voice shaking.
"What is it son, is everything okay?" Vance asked, noting his son's fear
"Everything is fine. It's just…" Ryan continued speaking, and a few moments later he left his dad's office, holding back tears. He headed downstairs when he was confronted by a very upset and on the verge of tears Sharpay
"Tell me it isn't true" Sharpay requested, her quavering voice barely audible
"I'm sorry. It is true" Ryan answered, being bluntly honest with her.
"How could you do this to me? How could you do this to Kelsi!" Sharpay asked, as she started to cry.
"I did it so that I could finally prove myself to this family!" Ryan shouted, almost startling himself.
"Well I hope you're happy" Sharpay shrieked, and she stomped away in tears.
Ryan hung his head, he didn't like yelling at his sister but it was true. Ever since he graduated from high school and got his scholarship it seemed like his whole family was disappointed in him. His father wanted him to be part of the business not a singer and dancer. So Ryan figured this was the only way that his father would accept him for who he is. He soon found his mother and after trying to console her crying, he went to his room and flopped down on his bed.
"Now to tell her" he said, his hands shaking as he scrolled through the list of names on his phone and found her, it rang twice and then she picked up
"Hi Ryan" she said, sounding very happy to hear from him.
"Hey baby, what are you doing?" he asked
"Oh just folding some laundry. I've been slacking on laundry lately and I'm paying for it. I'm just trying to get it all together before we leave for New York" she said, trying to find a match for a sock
"Yeah, I've barely started packing myself. What are you doing afterwards?" he asked
"Oh, I don't know. I'm hoping to see my favorite person in the world" She said biting back a smile
"Oh so you and Troy have got something planned" he teased
"Very funny Ryan" she laughed
"Well I've got some things to finish up here, let's have tea later or something" he said looking at his clock on his wall
"Sure, I should be done in a half an hour or so" She said putting a pile of shirts in her drawer
"Great I'll see you at the coffee shop later then, love you" he said
"I love you too" she answered, hanging up the phone. Avoiding his family, Ryan headed downstairs and grabbed the keys to his vespa, heading out for a drive. He didn't care where he was going, as long as it wasn't around his family.
