This oneshot is inspired by Taylor Swift's song, Should've Said No.
This probably is not fantastic, but I've made a goal to write a oneshot for every possible couple on HSM, so when I finished this, I decided to post it to see what response I would get. Criticism is fine with me. I wrote this in a different style, so I would like to know if worked out okay.
Just so you don't get confused, when Taylor is speaking, it is in quotations, but when Chad speaks, she describes it by saying 'you said' or 'you asked,' etc. For example, 'You said she was lying.'

Taylor
I still can't believe that it's really over. All the goods times we used to have together, the little presents you would give me for no reason at all, everything we could have been – gone, over.
I found out about you yesterday. Today, when I saw you walking in my direction, I had to turn away. I couldn't look at you. I started to walk away, but you caught up to me. You noticed the pissed-off look on my face, so you asked what was wrong.
I started crying (I was overwhelmed by feelings of hatred and betrayal). You took my face in your hands and told me that no matter what my problem was, that you would be there for me.
But you can't help me, because YOU are my problem.
I stormed away. You chased after me, asking me to tell you what was wrong. I turned to face you and whispered simply, "Sharpay."
Your eyes filled with shock. What was I talking about? You asked.
"Gabriella told me what you did."
Your face fell.
You said she was lying.
Even though we both know you're the liar.
"You told Troy, Troy told Gabriella. Did you really think word about what you did with her wouldn't get back to me?"
You said that you could explain
"Don't bother, we're through."
Your eyes well up with tears. If I gave you the chance, you say you'd take it all back; it was just a moment of weakness.
But you said yes.
"Was I even there in the back of your mind? Did you think about the pain this would cause me? Did you think about anyone but yourself?" I ask.
You're down on your knees now, crying, begging, and apologizing. But it's too late. I know it. Even you know it, whether or not you're ready to face it. You should have said no, and you might still have me.
I start to walk away, leaving you in all your misery and humiliation, but I turn back. I can't resist asking you the one question that has been on my mind for hours.
"Was she worth it?"
Chad
Was she on my mind? I have to be honest, at that time, she was not. I don't even remember what I was thinking about. I don't even remember much about that night-about what came over me-everything was a blur. I honestly couldn't tell Taylor whether or not Sharpay came on to me or if I came on to her. All I remember is following her upstairs.
Was Sharpay worth losing her? Hell no. Sharpay is a slut.
I can not possibly explain to Taylor how much I regret what I've done. I really would take it all back if I could. I'm trying to convince Taylor of this now, but I can see my pleas do not faze her. She won't be able to understand how much I love her after what I've done, or how much pain I'm feeling by knowing what I've put her through.
It's too late; I've gone and messed everything up.
Taylor is very stubborn. There's no way she will forgive me. I think that she's made that pretty evident.
I should never have gotten so wasted that I couldn't think straight. I should have never followed Sharpay upstairs; I should have run away while I had the chance.
Because now the only one running away is Taylor, and she's running away from me.
