I Can't Be Without You

The whole gang was hanging out at the mall which included Sharpay, Chad, Troy, Gabriella, Taylor and Ryan. They were all off to the movies to watch I Know What You Did Last Summer.

"Chad" Sharpay said to her boyfriend in a whining voice "why do we have to go and see that, you've seen it about fifty times already and you know I don't like gruesome movies"

"Well babe you picked the movie last time remember we had to watch Legally Blonde and that is my least favorite movie".

"Fine" she shot back.

They all got their tickets and found seats together in the cinema. On the left end there was Ryan, next to him was Taylor then Chad cuddling Sharpay who was starting to feel nervous. Next to Sharpay sat Troy then Gabriella. Everyone is really close with each other but Chad and Sharpay are the only couple in the group. Nobody knew that Troy was in love with his best friend's girlfriend Sharpay. He tells Chad just about everything but he couldn't tell him about this. So he just tried to let it go it wasn't working very well though.

I shouldn't love you, but I want to
I just can't turn away
I shouldn't see you, but I can't move
I can't look away

Troy wasn't paying much attention to the movie. He was watching Chad and Sharpay out the corner of his eye.

I shouldn't love you, but I want to
I just can't turn away
I shouldn't see you, but I can't move
I can't look away
And I don't know how to be fine when I'm not
'Cause I don't know how to make a feeling stop

He had a feeling of jealousy rush through him. He thought he belonged with Sharpay.

Just so you know
This feeling's takin' control
Of me and I can't help it
I won't sit around
I can't let him win now
Thought you should know

I've tried my best to let go
Of you but I don't want to
I just gotta say it all before I go
Just so you know

Sharpay distracted Troy from everything he did. He loved her so much for six months. He told her how he felt but she chose Chad.

It's gettin' hard to
Be around you
There's so much I can't say
Do you want me to hide the feelings
And look the other way

And I don't know how to be fine when I'm not
'Cause I don't know how to make a feelings stop

Troy has tired so hard to get over her but he just can't. I need to find a way to be with her he thought to himself as he was still staring at them from the corner of his eye so it wouldn't be obvious. Gabriella noticed and said "Troy stop staring at them and watch the movie"

"What?" he said surprised that she noticed "What makes you think I am staring at them" he whispered softly.

"Because you are" she shot back at him softly. "I need to talk to you after the movie is over. Ok." She assured him.

He nodded back.

Just so you know
This feeling's taking control
Of me and I can't help it
I wont sit around
I can't let 'him win now

I am going to tell her how I feel when I get alone with her. I can't stop thinking about her, she distracts me in everything I do. I can't let her go. He thought to himself as he took one last glance over at Sharpay and Chad.

Thought you should know
I've tried my best to let go
Of you but I don't want to
I just gotta say it all before I go
Just so you know

"Hey Sharpay" Troy called as they all left the cinema when the movie finished. Sharpay turned around "Can I talk to you?" he asked.

Gabriella tugged his sleeve and pulled him aside. "Please don't tell me you're doing what I think you're about to do" she said sounding anxious.

Troy had a smile on his face he was feeling good about what he was going to tell Sharpay. He then nodded to Gabriella.

"No" she exclaimed "you can't she's with Chad she'll never go with you they've been together too long".

This emptiness is killing me
I wonder why I've waited so long
Looking back I realize it was always there, just never spoken
I'm waiting here
Been waiting here

He decided not to tell Sharpay anything until that night. She came over to his place and they went swimming in his pool. They were both having a lot of fun until he dropped the bombshell.

"So Sharpay there's something I been meaning to tell you for a while now" he told her slowly and anxiously as they hopped into the spa. He hesitated for a moment then leant in and kissed her and before he knew it their lips locked for a second. Until she pulled away.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that" she just stared at him.

"Why did you do that, I thought we were friends"

"We are…………. maybe I can't just be just friends with you"

"What are you talking about?"

"I'm in love with you; I've always been ever since you broke up with me. I've never really got over you"

"That was your fault remember? You left me, you spent more time with Gabriella then your own girlfriend" Sharpay voice started to tremble and tears started to fill Troy's eyes.

"I never meant to hurt you" a tear streamed down his left cheek.

"I know. But you did. I don't think I can trust you again like I used to" she stared to cry slightly without looking at him she softly said "I'm sorry" She hopped out of the spa grabbed her towel and walked off. Troy was left sitting feeling guilty on how he hurt her last time and chose Gabriella over her.

Just so you know
This feeling's taking control
Of me and I can't help it
I wont sit around
I can't let him win now
Thought you should know
I've tried my best to let go
Of you but I don't want to
I just gotta say it all before I go
Just so you know

Troy loved Sharpay so much and it killed him to see her with Chad. He tried to get over her and let them be together but he can't.

Just so you know
Thought you should know
I've tried my best to let go
Of you but I don't want to
I just gotta say it all before I go
Just so you know
Just so you know

She belongs with me and I'll do anything it takes. He thought to himself while still sitting in the spa.
