I was kind of free-writing and this came out. The times make no sense and everyone is out of charactor. I'm not really sure how this would fit in any timeline but hey – it's called fanfiction for a reason.

They used to sit out at night watching the stars, he would lay his head on her chest and listen to her heartbeat. She would sing to him. He would tell her how much he loved her.

They were stupid, young and claimed that they were in love. Not a care in the world. It didn't matter where they stood, all that mattered that they had each other to hold on to. It didn't last of course – they knew it wouldn't from the very beginning. It was to end when school was to start again. The only reason they kept each other around was because she would make him feel better and he would make it seem worth it, then that was it. They had nothing else.

Ryan would often remind her that it was wrong to do. He after all had a girlfriend, despite the fact all he ever did was complain about her, he loved Gabriella too. She would scream and cry and try to convince herself more then Ryan that deep inside Troy really did care about her, more then he did for Gabriella.

She had longed for Troy for so, so long. She would take him any day. Everything he did, everything he said – it's meaningless , it was a lie. And she knew it damn well but it made Sharpay glow, made her feel loved. That was enough for her to make him feel happy back.

Their short fling was over before they realized it and it was back to school for them. Back to being who they were. The bitch and the Jock.

When he leaned in to kiss her for the last time, ending the summer relationship, she pulled away first. He was surprised at this but didn't question it. "Goodbye." He muttered, pulling some of her blonde hair behind her ear.

She bit her lip and nodded, not trusting herself enough to say anything until he was gone.

As she watched him go and felt her heart break.

"Goodbye Troy..." She said once he was out of sight, a tear rolling down her cheek before she turned around and made her way back to her vacation house.

xXx

She ever-so-perfectly packed her clothes away, neatly putting them in her suitecase while Ryan leaned on the doorway, smircking.

"What?!" she snapped angrily, not really in the mood to deal with him.

"How's Troy?" He teased, knowing he was touching a spot which wasn't meant to be touched. She froze, recalling the soft kiss he left on her lips. The only proof she had left that there was a her and Troy was the taste of him, still fresh on her lips. She licked them before answering, her back still to her brother.

"None of your business."

But of course it was – she would end up telling him anyway. She had always told him everything. He would disapprove and argue mostly, but he was happy to be part of her life.

"How was it?"

She cracked.

"I can still taste him. I still sense him on my skin-"

Ryan shuddered at the thought of it, too much info. Sharpay laughed at her brother, he was never good with this type of stuff.

She hugged herself.

"I don't know how I'm going to cope. Seeing him every day with Gabriella. . It's going to kill me, even more then it did before. . ."

She didn't hear her brother move, or notice that he was standing next to her. She jumped at the feel of his cold hands when they squeezed her shoulders.

"It'll be okay." He whispers into her ear. But they both know it wouldn't.

A/N I know Sharpay is out of charactor, but she'll be back to her old self again soon-ish :D
