The Party

Sharpay decided to just go in what she was wearing, she was always dressed for a party anyway, so she only re-did her make up and she was ready. Yet it was only 5.30pm. She decided to go check her e-mail. She logged onto the internet, and she had 17 new messages. She raised her eyebrows in a bit of surprise. But most of it was junk to her disappointment. There was one from Ryan, one from Gabi, two from Troy, a couple of chainmails and the rest were messages from websites she was a member on and competitions nearby. She read the e-mail from Gabi first.

Yo Shar, jw if ya wanna go 2 da movies on sunday, e-mail bak cuz i got nuthin betta to do dunno wot Ryans doin. Gabi

Sharpay smiled and began to type her reply, she was almost done when she decided to read the other e-mails before replying to Gabriellas one.

Hey Sharpay wot u doin l8a? im bored so gimmee a call k? Troy x

Sharpay smirked at Troys e-mail, even the little 'x' at the end, he always put one on her e-mails. She always did one back, to him and Ryan only. Zeke didn't send her e-mails.

Shar! Call me, v bored Troy x

Sharpay laughed at that one, he had only sent it ten minutes ago while she had been redoing her make-up. He must have no money in his phone... Sharpay laughed to herself, and quickly read Ryans e-mail before calling Troy.

Hey Shar im e-mailing u from da new internet cafe in town me and gabi r here rite now. hav fun with zeke tonite i kno u will if u kno wot i mean ;) Ry x

Sharpay sighed, if only he knew...She reached back and grabbed her cellphone, dialing Troys number, she knew it off by heart. As it started ringing, she turned off her computer screen and went to lie on the bed.

"Hey Shar" She heard Troy answer.
"Heya Troy, why'd ya want me to call?"
"I'm bored and lying here and I thought 'I know I'll get Shar to call me cause I have no money' and thats what I did." Troy laughed, as well as Sharpay.
"Wanna do something?" Troy asked
"Like, right now?"
"Yeah! I'm bored."

"Well I dunno..." She hesitated, was it a good idea to go out with Troy before the party?

"Please..." She heard Troys voice soften, as if he were begging.
"Okay" Sharpay smirked
"Good!! Haha, I'll come get you and I will see you in about five minutes!" Troy said happily and hung up, Sharpay paused then hung up too.

Troy didn't leave too far away from Sharpay. Once you were outside her house, all you had to do was go left and turn right when you came to the crossroads. The third house along that road was his. Sharpay smiled, she could imagine him walking along it now. She stood up and slipped on her white sandals and looked outside, the weather was fine. Temperature was not too hot, not too cold, and there wasn't any wind or rain, just a few clouds in the sky. Sharpay opened the door to her balcony, and stepped outside, walking across and leaning on the stone railing, she saw Troy walking up the street. He raised his hand and waved at her, she waved back and walked back into her room, through it and shutting her bedroom door behind her she walked downstairs.

"I'm going outside I don't know if I'll be back tonight dad!" She called to her fathers study where he worked busily away. He never minded where Ryan and Sharpay went and he barely noticed when they were there anyway. She walked out the front door just in time to see Troy walking up her path, she smiled and he walked over and hugged her tight she returned the hug and smiled as she rested her head in the crook of his neck.

"You okay?" Troy asked, still holding her.

"Yeah, I am. I really am." She replied, she had her eyes closed as she always did when she was hugging Troy. But as she opened them she noticed Zeke heading towards them, with an angry look on his face. Troy was rubbing her back slowly. He had just opened his mouth to speak when Sharpay cried out.

"Zeke!" She said in a high pitched voice, and broke free from Troy, she walked over to him. Troy watched on has they shared a stiff hug, he seemed to be quite angry, and she seemed to be a bit upset, but trying to explain something.

"So whats going on between you and Bolton?" Zeke said in a hushed tone angrily.

"Nothing, we're friends, honest." Sharpay explained, he was already a little drunk, she could smell the alcohol on his breath, she wrinkled her nose in distaste.

"You're lying, you've been cheating on me!" He raised his voice a bit and Sharpay was worried Troy would hear.

"No I haven't Zeke, stop being paranoid." Sharpay said, sharply. Zeke leaned in and forced his lips on hers, she returned the kiss with disgust, and only because Troy was there, she wanted to look like maybe they had had an arguement and that was them making up. Zekes hands were at her hips, but her hands remained at her sides.

"Don't call me paranoid." Zeke sneered once she broke the kiss, he pushed her a bit, but not enough to make her fall, and then walked over to Troy.

"I think I'll just take Shar from here if you don't mind, man?" Zeke said, smiling. Troy looked at Sharpay concerned and she just nodded so he nodded.

"Yeah man, sure." Troy said before walking away from him slowly. He walked past her and whispered as he passed, "Text me the address, I'll come get you if theres trouble." she nodded a little as he walked away, Zeke walked back over to her and roughly put his arm around her waist, he pushed her up the road with his arm in place there.

As the clock in Jacobs hallway chimed midnight Sharpay sat on the stairs wanting to leave. Zeke was high on goodness-knows-what and he was drunk, so he was violent. Right now he was in the living room with his friends shwoing off and laughing. Soon enough he was standing in front of her. Zeke grabbed her hand and pulled her upstairs, they went into the bathroom, and he locked the door.

"You cheating, lying bitch." He spat at her, she backed aay from him until her back was against the sink.

"What are you talking about?" She asked, nervously.

"You know what I mean, you and Troy, behind my back." He moved towards her.

"We are just friends, honestly."

"Yeah right you slut! You whore!" He sneered as he reached her and lifted her up so she was sitting on the sink, he held her there, she quivered. Then he raised one arm and slapped her hard across the face, she shrieked as she was hit, and felt the whole vibration through her body. Her cheek felt numb, her face was stinging with pain. Then he did exactly the same with the back of his hand to the other cheek, she yelled again.

"Nobody cares, scream all you want." He smirked in her face. She moved her head back at the scent of his breath. He went on, "You deserve everything you get you know that?!"

He silenced himself and her by kissing her hard and roughly, she struggled against the sink, and tried to break free but he had his hands at her back now so she had nowhere to run. One hand moved to her thigh, and slowly moved up it.

"Stop it Zeke." She said when he took a breath but he just continued doing it, until his hand was almost touching an area she didn't want him to go anywhere near.

"Stop it Zeke..." she protested quietly once more, and as he continued she kicked him with all the might she had in her legs.

"I SAID STOP" She shrieked and felt a few tears sliding down her cheeks. When Zeke saw this is face crumpled, as if he realized he had gone too far.

"Baby, I'm sorry, I am so sorry. I won't hurt you like that again. I promise, I didn't mean it, I was just so angry. I know you wouldn't cheat on me." He took her in her arms for a gentle hug, her head was on his chest. It had been a long time since they had hugged this way. She closed her eyes and felt herself fall for his words.

"You know I'll never do it again, I promise you know that, right?!" He looked at her and she nodded.

"I know." She whispered softly


I'm not THAT cruel to leave it at a cliffhanger! But I did kind of, but at least he says he won't do it again...or will he? We shall see in the next chapter of "Save Me"
