Well, my second HSM oneshot. The idea hit me during lunch today and I decided it needed writing. Vaguely Troyella. Takes place around the time Gabriella breaks up with Troy and before Bet On It in the movie.

Disclaimer: I don't own HSM2. If I did, it would have been MUCH different. I also don't own the songs Right Here by Miley Cyrus (one of my favorites) or I Am Understood? by Relient K (another favorite).

I'll be right here where you need me
Anytime just keep believing
And I'll be right here...
If you ever need a friend
Someone to care and understand
I'll be right here

Do I have a theme song? Of course I do. It's a fairly good song, but I don't like the reason that it fits me. The song? Right Here, by Miley Cyrus.

All you have to do is call my name
No matter how close or far away
Ask me once and I'll come running
And when I can't be with you dream me near
Keep me in your heart and I'll appear
All you gotta do is turn around
Close your eyes, look inside
I'm right here

I'm always here. Right here, waiting for him to get his head out of the clouds and rejoin us earthbound people.

Isn't it great that you know that
I'm ready to go wherever you're at
Anywhere, I'll be there

I mean, it's great that his dreams are coming true, but what about mine? I wish he'd stop being just so…stupid. I hate to call him that, but he's just so clueless sometimes…a lot of the time.

I'll be here
When you need me
No, there's no need to worry
You know that I'm gonna be right here

I don't want to keep waiting. It's just so hard, watching him slip away from me and knowing that I can't do anything about it. I've tried. And nothing. If something (namely him) doesn't change soon, I won't be around to see when it finally does.

Sometimes it's embarrassing to talk to you
To hold a conversation with the only one who sees right through
This version of myself
I try to hide behind
I'll bury my face because my disgrace will leave me terrified

I screwed up. Big time. I'm fully aware of how bad this is. I got all wrapped up in all the great things that were happing to me. And now, I've lost the best of them.

And sometimes I'm so thankful for your loyalty
Your love regardless of
The mistakes I make will spoil me
My confidence is, in a sense, a gift you've given me
And I'm satisfied to realize you're all I'll ever need

She was the one person that understood me entirely. Whenever I was being pressured, whenever I felt lost, she saved me and reminded me who I am and what I'm doing. And now, I ruined it all

You looked into my life and never stopped
And you're thinking all my thoughts
Are so simple, but so beautiful
And you recite my words right back to me
Before I even speak
You let me know, I am understood

And sometimes I spend my time
Just trying to escape
I work so hard so desperately, in an attempt to create space
Cause I want distance from the utmost important thing I know
I see your love, then turn my back and beg for you to go

I hid myself from my friends and she let me out. When they tried to change me, she kept me strong. When I messed up, she forgave me. Why did I have to go and ruin that?

You're the only one who understands completely
You're the only one knows me yet still loves completely

And sometimes the place I'm at is at a loss for words
If I think of something worthy I know that its already yours
And through the times I've faded and you've outlined me again
You've just patiently waited, to bring me back and then

I see what needs to be done. I have to fix this. But how?

Love it? Hate it? Well, that's too bad if you do. Review if you will.
