Title:After The Curtain Call

Chapter 3

"Gabby! Gabs! Gabriella wake up!" Sharpay whispered loudly into her best friends ear. She tried to hide it but she could hear the worry in her voice which is possibly the reason why Gabriella bolted upright and began shouting.

"Oh my god! I'm blind! Sharpay!" She suddenly felt two cold hands cover her mouth and a hushing sound being made from behind her.

"Open your eyes then dummy." Gabriella did as instructed, "And keep it down." She removed her hands and creeped to the door she pressed her ear to it. The other watched bewildered.

"Shar what's going on?" Gabriella asked quietly.

"They know we're here, I heard them talking earlier." She pushed her ear closer to the door. " I think they've gone."

Gabriella took this as a sign to start packing their things into the gucci suitcases Sharpay had obviously got out when she'd heard the men outside the room. They carelessly slung clothes and shoes into the empty bags. Sharpay crawled under the bed and pulled out a black briefcase and threw it into her suitcase. It wasn't until they heard footsteps from the landing did they stop. Zipping the cases and putting on coats, Sharpay reached for the handle of the battered wooden door of room 67 but she knew what would be waiting for them on the other side.

She took a few steps back, carrying Gabby back with her arms and pointed to the window. Fortunatly the cheap motel they were stating at only had two floors, unfortunatly they were on the second floor. Gabriella opened the window and dropped their cases along with the hotels pillows and bedding, to cushion their fall, into the mass shrubs and bushes beneath them. They climbed onto the ledge of the window, holding hands they jumped.

They looked up and caught a glimpse of the motel owner and two well-built, rough men. They ran over to a black land rover, Sharpay smashed the window with her heel and opened the drivers seat door, Gabriella got into the passenger seat and shoved the suitcases in the back. The group of men were cursing and yelling at them. Sharpay put her foot on the gas and drove off leaving nothing but a cloud of dust behind.

Gabriella turned on the car radio to a country western song. She fiddled around with the dial, attempting to find a lively station. Eventually she got a pop channel who were playing Britney Spears' 'Gimme More'. Gabriella put her feet up onto the dashboard.

"So where do we go?" She asked staring at Sharpay, eyebrows raised.

"No idea." Sharpay answered not taking her attantion off the never-ending road that lead them to nowhere.

"Maybe we could go..." Gabby started but Sharpay cut in.

"Don't bother saying it." She sighed. Her tone slighlty irritated.

Gabriella shuffled her body to face Sharpay, "But Shar won't it be great to see them all again." The car was being slowed down. " They'll understand it's not like it was our fault." The car came to a complete halt. "Sharpay?"

Sharpay bit her lip to try and stop the tears from falling from her eyes.

"We can never go back. Remember why we left." Sharpay sat very still, her only movement was her chest as she breathed.

"I know but..."

"And why we keep running, what we've done. They think we're dead what do you think is going to happen if we just turn up out of the blue. Alive. We can't explain it's all too complicated."

Gabriella held Sharpay's hand in her own and gently turned her head to face her own.

"Please Sharpay." She begged. " You promised we could go back when we had the chance. Well here it is. Mr Grey is dead and we have nowhere to go."

Sharpay thought for a moment how great it would be to see everyone again. Her parents, her brother, her friends. She smiled a little and nodded.

"Okay let's go. I'm not saying it's a good idea or that it will work out for the best but we have nothing to lose right."

Gabriella pulled her into a hug as an excited grin spread across her tanned face.

"Get the map out then." Sharpay giggled and they drove off for the second time that night. This time with somewhere to go and hopefully a life to go back too.
