It was a clear, cool day and five year old Sharpay and Ryan Evans were playing in their room with their karaoke machine. It went just like any other day; they play for a while before taking their nap. They were getting tired. Claressa, their thirteen year old sister came and put them up for a nap. Every thing seemed usual to them, but what awaits them will change their lives forever.
Sharpay's P O V
I was sleeping peacefully, when Claressa came in my room and started shaking me violently. "Wake up. Wake up!" she yelled as she practically shook me out of my bed. "What's happening?" I asked her with a bit of worry in my voice. "I gas pipe sprung a leak under the house and it got lit on fire!" Claressa practically yelled. I was really worried now. I looked over at my little twin brother, sleeping peacefully. "We have to get out of the house, NOW!" Claressa told me with worry in her eyes. Before I could even ask "What about Ryan?" she grabbed me and we started running out of the house.
When we got out of the house, I could see smoke rising up from the house. I looked around; I saw Claressa, Mom, Dad, and my little sister Saundree. I could also see the fire department run in and out caring all of our possessions. I watched as all of my pets came out, unharmed. I heard a dull shriek of terror, knowing it was Ryan. My mom and dad looked worried as if saying "We can't believe we forgot Ryan."
I saw a fire man holding something in his hands that either looked too shocked to move or fainted. As the face became more clear, I realized it was both. For held in his hands, lay my little brother, Ryan.
Claressa's P O V
There he was, in the fireman's arms, helpless. I looked over at Sharpay. She looked like she had mixed emotions: fear, worried, shocked, and scared, all at once. I couldn't help feeling that way myself. I looked over at her again. She looked like she was blinking back tears. I almost thought of doing that myself. No I thought I have to be strong, for me and Sharpay.
The fireman that had Ryan in his arms came over to my mom and dad. I couldn't pick out all of the words, but I heard one sentence that changed my life. "You better follow us to the emergency room." he said " your son's health could be in grave danger."
Sharpay's POV
We rushed to the emergency room with the ambulance in front of us. All I could think about was "I wonder if Ryan will be O.K." Claressa kept telling me not to worry but the more we drove the more I couldn't help it. What would happen to Ryan? How is he feeling now? And the question I think we were all wondering: Will he survive?
Claressa POV
Ever since Ryan was born he was the weaker of the twins. I'm not talking about like the not being able to pick up ten pounds weak, but about the health weak. When Ryan and Sharpay were first born they were supposed to be born a couple weeks later. Sharpay it didn't affect much, but Ryan it affected a lot. In fact, the doctor said that under the circumstances that she was surprisingly healthy. Ryan, on the other hand, was diagnosed with several ailments. He also said that because Ryan was holding on to Sharpay's feet when she came out, Ryan had broken shoulder bones and Sharpay had bones in her legs. It was so bad that if you pick them up a certain way today and for the rest of their life, it will still make them sore.
After all that happened and Ryan was a healthy baby we thought that nothing like that would ever happen again. Five years later, that was happening. It was just so hard to see Ryan being carried into that hospital after all he's been through. I know life isn't fair, and Ryan's life sure isn't no exception.
