There You'll Be, a high school musical fanfic

Nobody saw it coming. That's why it's called an accident. It's something unexpected that happens to everyone. But this accident took away something so precious to everyone. And I wish that it didn't have to be this way.

When I think back
On these times
And the dreams
We left behind
I'll be glad 'cause
I was blessed to get
To have you in my life

It was just a normal day; we drove to school together, walked down the hall to homeroom and proceeded through all of our classes. You told me you were going running and you would see me later then ruffled my hair and started to jog away. I fixed my hair, got in our car and drove home. But you never did.

When I look back
On these days
I'll look and see your face
You were right there for me

That night I woke up to the police knocking on my door. Sighing, I pulled on a sweatshirt and stumbled down the stairs, ready to give them an earful. That is until they held up your picture. You were always so amazing, with your soul-bearing eyes and your perfect blonde hair. I just wish I never saw it matted in blood and caked with dirt.

In my dreams I'll always see you
Soar above the sky
In my heart there'll always be a place
For you for all my life
I'll keep a part of you with me
And everywhere I am
There you'll be
And everywhere I am
There you'll be

I spent the night in your room, absorbing your smell and seeping all of our memories into me. Mom and Dad weren't even home. You are…were my family, not them. I called everyone. I made the arrangements and cried on Gabriella's shoulder.

Well you showed me how it feels
To feel the sky within my reach
And I always will remember
All the strength you gave to me
Your love made me make it through
Oh, I owe so much to you
You were right there for me

During your funeral, I thought about everything you did for me. I remembered you buying and wrapping my Christmas and birthday presents and signing Mom and Dad's names on them. I remembered you buying feminine supplies for me when I felt too gross to leave the house. I remember you letting me yell at you when everything was too much to take. Most of all, I remember you singing me to sleep and sometimes even singing to wake me up.

In my dreams I'll always see you
Soar above the sky
In my heart there'll always be a place
For you for all my life
I'll keep a part of you with me
And everywhere I am
There you'll be

I don't understand why you left me. You are part of me and now that part is gone. Sometimes I feel so incomplete and I feel like I might blow away because there's nothing anchoring me here anymore.

'Cause I always saw in you
My light, my strength
And I want to thank you now for all the ways
You were right there for me (you were right there for me)
You were right there for me always

You were the one who pushed me into performing. You were the one who came to every performance and concert. You were the only one who could keep my nerves in check. You were the only one that I let see me break down. You were the only one who knew how I really felt and you knew everything to say.

Now, a year later, I finally feel ready to move on. But not completely. The other day, I found myself smiling and it wasn't forced. I actually went to a movie and laughed. I'm going on a date tomorrow. I think I'm ready to become myself again. But I will always remember you. My heart, Ryan.

There you'll be…

Song is There You'll Be by Faith Hill. Everything else is Disney's except for my ideas. Sorry for the depressing-ness and the poor writing quality. I was going to add in other stuff but I ran out of song so here you go. And if you couldn't tell, it's written from Sharpay's POV.
