Chapter 2 - I can't tell you

I was so angry that I didn't notice Ryan behind me.

"Gabs? Is everything okay?" he asked me and I turned around. He noticed my tears.

"Yeah…yes, everything's alright" I replied. This is the classic answer, Gabriella, he will never believe this!, I told myself.

"Then why you wrinkled angrily the letter your mum gave you?" he asked. See? He didn't believe you! If only I could tell him…, I said, again, to myself.

"It's nothing, really…just a note from my mum…" I said, but Ryan took the wrinkle letter, and given that I didn't stop him, he read it.

"Ryan…it's nothing, really…" I whispered while he was reading. Why didn't I stop him?!?, I asked myself.

Ryan looked up into my eyes. He had a sad look and I could see tears in his beautiful eyes.

"What does that means Gabriella? Don't tell me everything's okay, because I can see that nothing's okay reading this note and looking into your eyes!" Ryan exclaimed. Was he…angry? Why did he react in that way? I didn't expect it.

"I can't tell you Ry…I'm sorry" I replied looking down.

"But you said…you swore you didn't have any secrets! You told me you told me all your secrets! You swore, Gabriella!" Ryan said.

"I'm-I'm sorry about this, Ryan, but this is a very important secret and nobody can know about it. Including you" I replied. Oh my God, did I just say that? He will never speak to me again, I thought.

"But…why?" he asked.

"Ryan I just can't! I really want to talk to you about this, but I really can't!" I said. At least he's talking to me!, I thought.

"If you really want to talk about this, then do it! I can keep a secret Gabby, you know that!" he said.

"Really? Or you just want to know more secrets about me? You know what, it seems that you just want to put another secret in the "other secrets' box" just because your secrets can't satisfy you anymore! And you know what the funniest thing is? That the "other secret's box" is always more full than yours!" I said. I just said all these things? I'm crazy! And I don't even know if what I said has sense!, I thought. In fact, Ryan didn't reply and I understood what I said.

"Ryan…I'm sorry, I…I didn't mean to say…I was just…please forgive me" I said shyly.

"Don't worry. I understand. Just…you know I'll always be there for you…" he said and walked out of the kitchen. I couldn't believe it. I just had an argument with Ryan, my best friends. I walked out of the room too when I heard Sharpay yelling that the break was over and it was movie-time. We sat on the couch and on the floor and we started to see "The Holiday". I was sitting on the floor and Ryan was next to me. We didn't talk to each other for the whole movie, and I knew Sharpay noticed it. Usually, she told us to shut up because we talked too much and sometimes too loud, but this time she didn't told us anything.

NO ONE's POV

Sharpay looked at her brother and at her best friend. They didn't talk for an hour since the movie started. She was really worried that something happened between them, and when the movie finished, she decided to play Taboo and she went with Ryan in a room to take it.

"Ryan, what's going on between you and Gabriella?" she asked.

"Nothing's going on, Shar" he replied.

"Oh c'mon I can see something's going on between you! Just tell me, Ryan! I know you love her"

"That has nothing to do with this discussion Shar"

"We both know it's the truth, Ryan…"

"And we both know me and Gabby will never be together since our dad promised me to another girl". Ryan took the game and tried to walk away, but Sharpay stopped him.

"You can't marry that girl. You love Gabriella, Ryan. You're meant to be…" Sharpay said.

"Sharpay, I really appreciate what you're saying, but you know we can't do anything. A promise is a promise and dad made me promise I'll marry that girl. I'll keep my promise, Shar…" he said walking out of the room. Sharpay sighed and followed him.

The rest of the night passed very quickly and they fell asleep in the guest room, even Ryan and Sharpay. Everybody took a sleeping bag and slept. Gabriella couldn't sleep, but she didn't want to woke anyone up. She didn't want to woke Ryan up. She just hided under the covers and cried, but she couldn't keep some sobs that Ryan heard. He lied next to her, he could hear her so well. He sat up and looked at her.

"Gabriella…?" he whispered. She turned around and when she saw him, she sat up too.

"What?" she asked, still crying. Ryan didn't immediately spoke, but he leaned his hand on her cheek and started whipping away her wet tears.

"I hate see you crying…" he finally said. Gabriella couldn't hold herself anymore. She cried a bit louder and hugged him tight, and he hugged her back, stroking her soft hair. They stayed hugged for a long time, and after a while they broke apart and looked into each other's eyes. Now he was stroking her cheek, and both of them wanted to kiss the other. But they contained themselves.

"Thank you for be there, Ryan…" Gabriella said.

"Anytime, Gabs" he answered.

"Ryan?" she said.

"Yeah?" he replied.

"I'm sorry for what I said before. I really didn't want to say all these things to you…" she whispered.

"It's okay, Gabby. I'm not mad at you…" he said kissing her forehead. After another hug, they fell asleep.

The next morning everyone woke up at the same time, but Gabriella was already awake. They had breakfast and then they talked for a while before everyone went back to their own houses.

Ryan walked with Gabriella till her house.

"Thanks for walking with me Ryan…" she said, standing in front of the door.

"You're welcome…" he replied. They stayed there for some minutes without speaking and then Ryan decided to leave.

"Well, I'll see you tomorrow, I guess…" he said.

"Yeah…" Gabriella replied. He walked away without saying anything. Gabriella noticed he was really sad, she knew he was worried about her, about the secret he doesn't know. Gabriella opened the door and looked around. She didn't see her mother, but after some minutes she came out of the living room.

"Gabriella, we need to talk…" Adela said folding her arms.
