(Ryan speaking, just in case there is confusion)


Black screen. silence.

Hi. I don't know you, but you know me…

short clip of Ryan and Sharpay at the end of What I've Been Looking For
back to black screen and silence

Or at least the "me" I used to be…

Picture after picture his the screen stacking on one another
long guitar chord and then rock music. The sound of a camera shutter accompanies each picture

a picture of Ryan hugging his Star Dazzle award

Singing…dancing…

picture of Ryan on a stage with a microphone, rock band behind him

Parties…

picture of Ryan drinking from a red solo cup, people cheering

Drinking…

Picture of Ryan dancing in a crowd

Boys…

Picture of Troy and Ryan making out

Girls…

Picture of Kelsi and Ryan together

Boys again…

Picture of Ryan and Chad

After high school, I left.

Clip of Ryan in Senior Year lying on the stage
Back to black screen

With the pretense of going to Julliard, I ran to New York.

clip of Ryan carrying a bag at an airport
black screen

Unfortunately, my problems followed me there. And got worse.

Pictures again, one after the other, faster and faster, with camera noise, techno in background

Ryan drinking more and more

Ryan upside down on a pole in a club, his hair dyed black

Ryan in his apartment with another dancer from his show

And another

And another…

The fame and fortune were great, but not how I'd like to be remembered.

Pictures of Ryan's show on tour in Los Angeles, London, Paris, Quebec City

And that's not the guy I want to be.

clip of black-haired Ryan getting on a plane

To fix my problems, I have to go home.

clip of Ryan cautiously approaching an Albuquerque rehab
and emerging blond-haired, an obvious passage of time

And right all my wrongs…

clip of Troy, playing basketball, on his own
clip of Chad, writing on a blackboard
neither looking as happy as their could be

clip of Kelsi playing piano with a small girl

Oh yeah. And her.

Zoom in on small girl.
FBI type letters come across screen, as if typing

Name: Amelia Nielson
Age: 7 years, 4 months, 11 days, 26 hours
Favorite color: Sunshine Yellow
Mother: Kelsi Nielson
Father:

She's mine.

Father: Ryan Evans

The words "Ryan Evans" flash green and red as screen zooms in on them.
Screen goes black, sound like a television shutting down
Silence.


A/N: You know, this just came to me, fully formed, just like that today while I was driving to school. I thought it was a good idea. What do you guys think? Should I continue?

Was it confusing? I sowwy. :(

At any rate, I don't own HSM, but leave me a review anyway! Share your thoughts and feelings and…heck, tell me how your day was, I don't care. :)
