Verse 2

Sharpay walked down the street with tears streaming down her face, landing on her black, strapless dress. She loved Troy with all of heart, but she couldn't bring herself to sleep with him. I guess she was afraid that it would somehow change their relationship if they got that physical.

While her mind was wandering, what she didn't realize was that in about ten seconds a drunk driver without his car lights on would come speeding around the bend, not paying attention to which side of the road he was driving on. He would swerve the car, and not noticing her as she blended into the black darkness, he would hit her, causing her to black out immediately. I can tell you the story all day long, but you will never really be able to see the fear in her eyes as she saw the car just yards away, or you will never be able to see her body lying limp on the concrete. But I'll try my best to show you…

Of course she heard the loud hum of a car engine but she never realized that she would be up close and personal with it. Trapped in her thoughts and tears clouding her thoughts, she suddenly looked up and saw a car headed towards her about ten yards away. She knew that she would not be able to move as fast as that car would come in contact with her frail body, so she stood there like a deer trapped in the headlights. The irony was, there were not even headlights involved in this situation. The last thing she remembered was closing her eyes tightly before she blacked out.

When the paramedics showed up to the scene of the accident, they found a dead body inside the car, and a young girl's body lying out on the concrete, a pool of blood surrounding her head and her leg bending the opposite way of which it should be. Their automatic reaction was that she was dead, but when checking her pulse, they found one.

They rushed her to the hospital, hoping to save whatever life this young girl had left. They found her phone lying next to her body back at the accident and decided to call the last listed number she called. Calling Troysie flashed on the screen when he pressed the green button.

"Hey, baby. I'm glad you called." Was heard on the other end.

"Actually, sir, this is the Albuquerque paramedics." This made Troy stop in his tracks and turn pale white.

"What's going on? What happened to Sharpay? Where is she?" a tear unknowingly slid down his cheek.

"She was hit by a car. Are you her boyfriend?"

"Yes, I am." Troy was seriously getting choked up at this point.

"Can we ask you to come down to the hospital? We need you to clear some things up and I'm sure she'll want to see you."

"Of course… I'm on my way now."

"Thank you." They both hung up and Troy quickly drove to the hospital, arriving in less than five minutes. Walking up to the front desk, he said

"I'm Troy Bolton here to see Sharpay Evans."

"Ahh, yes. She's woken and has specifically asked to see you upon your arrival. You may go back now." Troy walked through the swinging doors and a doctor stopped him immediately.

"Troy, we must warn you before you go in. We've done a few tests and it seems that all of the muscles in her legs are paralyzed. She might never walk again." Troy didn't want to hear this. He walked past the doctor and into the room where he saw his girlfriend lying on a hospital bed with a bandage around her head and her legs both wrapped.

Troy walked into her room, tears streaming down his face. All he could bring himself to do was go to her and hold her hand. He couldn't even speak. He finally looked her in the eyes and all she did was smile. "Please, just don't leave me Troy. I know that I'm hurt, but I don't really understand it. But let's just be quiet, we don't need to say anything right now. We can talk later. Don't worry because I promise you, someday, I'll walk."
