One Too Many - Chapter 3
- One Month After Spain -
"Uhh I feel so sick" Sharpay ranted to Troy on the phone, catching up with him after her holiday showdown with her best friend, Gabriella.
"So when are you going to come see me then?" Troy flirted with the poorly blonde
"As soon as I can hold my dinner down" She winced, feeling a surge moving through her body.
"…well when's that?"
"I DON'T KNOW TROY! JUST LEAVE ME AL-" Sharpay cut off her sentence mid-way, throwing the phone handset aside she grabbed hold of the sink and promptly vomited. After cleaning herself up a bit she sunk down on the floor and retrieved back the phone, surprised to still find Troy on the other end. "Thought you would've hung up" she said weakly.
"no, I'm still here. Are you alright?" Troy questioned worriedly
"Bloody fabulous"
"Alright, no need for sarcasm!"
"Troy I've got to go, I'll phone you later." Sharpay didn't give the boy any chance to reply, she quickly hung up.
Grabbing a coat from the hooks at the bottom of the stairs Sharpay rushed out the front door, pushing her way through the bustling streets she finally reached the pharmacy after what seemed like an eternity. She slid open the doors and quietly stepped inside, afraid to bring attention to herself for once in her life. Making her way to pregnancy tests she made sure that nobody as following her, checking behind her every now and then.
Knocking loudly and shouting, This time Sharpay didn't care who noticed her. All she wanted was her best friend to talk to.
"GABRIELLA OPEN THE DOOR! I KNOW YOUR HOME! PLEASE…please" She begged, hearing how weak and vulnerable she was.
The door creaked open, only inches wide but it was enough for Sharpay to recognise the ghostly figure that stood behind it. "What do you want Sharpay?" Gabriella questioned, unsure of why the person who had betrayed her so badly just a month before was now so desperate to see her.
"Please, can I come in?" the blonde pleaded
Gabriella opened the door a few inches wider to let Sharpay in, Both the girls moved over to the sofa and sat down. Embracing the awkwardness. "Gabriella…I'm pregnant"
Gabriella looked down at the floor "Well Hi to you too"
"Gabi this is serious, I don't know how to tell Troy about it…"
"wait, how do you know its Troy's baby? I'm sure you've been with a ton of guys recently other than Troy, take Spain for an example." the clearly agitated Gabriella questioned
"because Spain was only a month ago and I just have a feeling that it is Troy's" Sharpay tried to reason
Gabriella glared at the girl opposite, someone who she barely recognised anymore "So that statement loosely translates into 'I don't care who's baby it is, I'm going to tell Troy it's his anyway"
"No! Not at all, I wouldn't lie to Troy like that."
"oh so you can lie to me and that's acceptable but Troy is a completely different story?"
"you know I didn't mean that"
"Sharpay your too shallow too notice what is even right in front of you! It's not always all about you, other people are going through the same as you right now and you don't even notice" Gabriella yelled at a stunned Sharpay, breaking off her rant early and bursting into tears.
A shocked Sharpay managed to stutter out a few words "…y-your…pregnant too?"
Gabriella nodded.
The End.
