"If I gave you the world, and put it in the palm of your hand, what would you do with it?" I whisper into your ear.

"Um…put it back where it came from?" comes the reply. I laugh, and you blush a little. "No, Elle, I'm serious," I continue, my voice thick with emotion. You smile a little, but don't answer. "If Troy gave you the world, would it mean more?" I grit my teeth, and your smile fades. I've opened old wounds, because I'm upset by your reaction. I've just offered you the best gift anyone could ever give, and you have no idea what to do with it.

"Ryan, don't be like that," you whisper weakly. "You know, when you were going out with Troy, you were always saying I love you, and whispering into his ear, making him laugh and smile. And when you started going out with me, you just kind of awkwardly stood next to me, while I gave you my heart and soul. Is that really fair?" I push, and your eyes well up with bitter tears.

"You know that I love you as much I as I love Troy, possibly even more," you hiss, but it's too late. "So you still love him," I sigh, running a hand through my blond locks. I start to walk away, but you grab my arm.

"If you gave me the world, then I'd give you the stars and the moon. I'd give you everything I had; my heart, my body, my soul. I love you like a brother, Ryan. I love you like Sharpay loves you. But I love Troy…in a different sense. But you haven't given me the world, and I haven't given you my heart. Because my heart belongs to Troy," you sob, tears falling from your chocolate eyes.

My own blue eyes are clouding with tears. I don't love you like I love Sharpay. I don't love you like my sister. I love you so much that I'd give you the world.

But the world's not enough, and apparently, neither is my love.

Finito! Haha. I thought it was okay for my first Ryella. Not exactly BRILLIANT, but still alright!
