DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING (except for any original characters that are written in these stories)

I have a feeling I'm on a roll with these songfic stories. I already did one, another one I have coming up for in the future, and this one. I've decided to do this story using a song from one of my favorite R&B groups growing up: BOYZ II MEN!!! The song is entitled "On Bended Knee" I hope you all enjoy it!!!

As with HSM, I don't own this song. I also don't own Jump In! (I'll make a reference to it later in the story. If you've seen the movie, you'll know what I'm talking about.)

"On Bended Knee"

Right before Chirstmas Break, Senior year:

"You don't love me, Troy. How could you do this to me?" a sobbing brown-skinned girl yells out in an empty East High hallway.

"I'm sorry, baby. It was an accident. I didn mean for it to happen." A blond-haired tall boy said with tears forming in his eyes.

"I gave you so much of me, Troy. I even gave you my viginity six months ago and this is how you pay me? YOU SLEEP WITH THAT SLUTTY CHEERLEADER, ANGELA! She's been with every jock in the entire school! God knows what she has carrying around her." the girl yells back.

"Taylor, baby, please let me explain!" Troy said while falling to the floor on his knees begging for forgiveness.

Taylor pushes him back and turns away from him. "Explain, my ass! You know what? You're just like your teammates. You're all stupid, lunk-head jackass. When this semester is over, we are over. I don't want ANYTHING to do with you. Do you hear me? WE'RE DONE!!!"

And with that, Tayor runs away and leaves Troy in the hall by himself. Heartbroken, Troy buries his head in his hands and begins to cry. He realized he royally screwed up everything he had. He just lost the best thing that he's ever had in his life: Taylor Ariel McKessie.

The last five months have been a living hell for Troy Michael Bolton. Everytime he saw Taylor and tried to say hi to her, she turned her head to the other direction. Everytime she did that to him, his heart would get crushed even more than before. Everybody in school started to notice his health deteriorate. Physically, he was as strong as ever(he helped his basketball team win the State championship for the 5th year in a row). Emotionally, he was a wreck (Taylor wasn't at the game cheering him on). He realized he needed Taylor back in his life and he will stop at nothing to get her back... even if it means signing up for the Spring Talent Show that happens every April before graduation.

One day, Troy saw a flyer in the hallway promoting East High's Annual Spring Talent Show. As soon as he saw it, an idea popped into his head. "This is DEFINATELY what I need to do to win Taylor back." He ripped the flyer off the wall and ran straight to the cafeteria, since it was his lunch period. Once he arrived, he saw his teammates and buddies at their usual table spot in the cafeteria. He walked up to them and said,

"Guys, I have to get her back." Troy said to his teammates at the table during lunch. "I'm nothing without her."

"Who?" Jason Cross & Zeke Baylor questioned Troy.

"What do you mean who? TAYLOR! I have to get her back."

"What, man? You need to let that mess go. She was just a stuck-up nerdy snob." Chad Danforth, his curly- haired best friend of 13 years, mentioned to him. The other basketball players nodded their heads in agreement. "Besides, there's plenty of fish in the sea, ESPECIALLY when we get to U of A in a few months."

Annoyed by his comment, Troy snapped back at him. "DUDE! Taylor is the only girl for me. She means so much to me, nobody in this world can understand that. What Taylor and I had can NEVER be duplicated by any other female in this world. I don't care about all of those stupid college girls; they'll never amount to Taylor. I may be eighteen, but Taylor is my soul mate and I won't leave high school happy without her in my arms again."

"Sorry, man." Chad apologized to him. "I didn't know you were hurting that badly."

"It's OK, man. Just don't say that again. Listen, I have an idea. You've all heard about the Spring Talent Show in April, right? Well, I was wondering, if I sing a song saying how sorry I am to her, then hopefully I will win her back. But, there's one more problem. I can't do this alone; I need you guys' help. Do you guys wanna sign up for the Talent Show with me? We don't have much time; it's only two weeks from today."

As much as they don't want to sing in front of the entire school, all three guys said yes to Troy. Chad added in, "Alright, Troy. We'll do it. But how do you know if Taylor will even be at the Talent Show?"

Troy answered, "Because Gabriella, Kelsi, & Martha are going to be performing in it and Taylor is designing their costumes. Now, we no time to waste. Let's start practicing." And with that, the four men left the lunch table and headed for the music room to begin practicing for the Talent Show.

Two Weeks Later:

"Alright, students. Please settle down. The sooner you get quiet, the sooner we'll start the Talent Show." Principal Matsui stated to the crowded audience. Once the auditorium was quiet, Principal Matsui continued his speech. "Thank you. Please be kind and generous to these students. They were brave enough to go through this for you all. Now without further adieu, please welcome to the stage our very first act, the Red Hot Chili Steppers!!!(Name & group are property of Disney!!)

After several other groups have performed (including Gabriella, Kelsi, & Martha), Troy started to get nervous. Everytime he poked his head out to the audience and saw a glimpse of Taylor, he gets even more nervous than before. Troy starts panicking, "What if I forget the words? What if she laughs at me? Oh God, I don't wanna mess this up. I can't mess this up!"

"Troy, man, calm down!" said Zeke as he tried to calm Troy down. "You're not gonna forget the words. She's not going to laugh at you. You won't mess this up. You're gonna get her back."

Chad nodded his head, agreeing with Zeke. "Yeah, man. Besides, we all know Taylor's favorite group is Boyz II Men. She goes crazy over them, more so than most groups today." All four men go "ewww" after Chad mentioned that.

Troy sighed and said, "Y'all are right. I can do this. I can do this."

After he calmed down, Ryan (the backstage manager) tells them that they were up next. The four men huddled into a circle and Troy says, "Alright guys. Hands in the center. Now, this is it. This is for Taylor McKessie. We won't mess up. This is for her. Now what team?" The other three men chanted, "WILDCATS!"

Meanwhile in the audience, Taylor calls on her cell phone, talking to Gabriella. "Gabi, girl! You guys did great! There is no way you three can't lose. If only your boyfriend Chad was here to see that."

Gabriella said, "Thanks, Tay Tay. That was really sweet of you. As for Chad, he said he was busy doing something for a class that's due tomorrow. I'll tell him how the Talent show went later on tonight."

"Oh, okay. I got to go. The principal is about to speak again. Bye!" Taylor said to Gabriella and she hung up the phone. Little did Taylor know, Gabriella and the other girls knew Troy and the boys were in the Talent Show with Troy trying to win Taylor back.

Principal Matsui announces to the auditorium, "Now for our final act for today, let's give it up for Troy, Chad, Zeke, & Jason as they perform a classic Boyz II Men song.

As soon as Taylor heard their names, she was stunned and said "WHAT!?! That cheating loser Troy Bolton is in this show! Oh, I'm not going to see this performance. I'm out of here." Taylor got out of her seat and started to head out of the auditorium, only to be stopped by one of the ushers. The usher stated to her, "You can't go out of the auditorium. You'll have to wait until they're done." Taylor sighed and said, "Fine" and went back to her seat. She sits back in her seat and folds her arms across her chest. "I can't believe this is happening. I think I'm going to be sick."

As soon as Troy and the boys set up their stage, Troy looks at the audience and begins to talk. "What's up. I'm Troy Bolton and you all know my teammates Chad Danforth, Zeke Baylor, & Jason Cross. We're going to be singing an oldie-but-goodie tonight and this is going out to a very special girl out there. So I hope you all enjoy." As soon as he finished talking, Troy winked his eyes at Taylor once he spotted her in the crowd. Disgusted, Taylor sighed and said, "Ugh, now I KNOW I'm going to be sick."

When the music started playing, Troy took it as his cue and began to sing, without moving his eyes off of Taylor:

Darlin' I can't explain
Where did we lose our way
Girl it's drivin' me insane
And I know I just need one more chance
To prove my love to you
If you come back to me
I'll gurantee
That I'll never let you go

Taylor could not believe it. In her mind, she was thinking "Why should I give you a second chance? You humiliated me in front of the entire school. You need to stop staring at me like that." Taylor was shaking her head at the whole ordeal. She said to herself, "If Gabi & the girls had anything to do with this, I'm going to kill them."

Can we go back to the days our love was strong
Can you tell me how a perfect love goes wrong
Can somebody tell me how to get things back
They way they use to be
Oh God give me a reason
I'm down on bended knee
I'll never walk again until you come back to me
I'm down on bended knee

When he began the 2nd verse, Troy removed his microphone from the stand and started to walk around the stage. The audience was enjoying the performance and began to cheer for Troy and his amazing voice. Once again, Troy always kept his eyes on Taylor, as if she was the only person in the auditorium with him.

So many nights I dream of you
Holding my pillow tight
I know that I don't need to be alone
When I open up my eyes
To face reality
Every moment without you
It seems like eternity
I'm begging you, begging you come back to me

As Troy was holding the long note, the audience was cheering louder than before for them. As before, all Taylor did was sigh and waited patiently for the song to end.

After they were done with the chorus the 2nd time, Jason began singing the monologue in his deepest baritone voice possible. As he sang, everybody in the auditorum started to laugh and cheer for him.

Baby, I'm sorry
Please forgive me for all the wrong I've done
Please come back home girl
I know you put all your trust in me
I'm sorry I let you down
Please forgive me

After Jason sang the monologue, Troy jumped off the stage and started to walk to Taylor's seat and he resumed singing. Then, all of a sudden, Taylor began to have a change of heart as Troy resumed his singing

Gonna swallow my pride
Say I'm sorry
Stop pointing fingers the blame is on me
I want a new life
And I want it with you
If you feel the same
Don't ever let it go
You gotta believe in the spirt of love
It'll heal all things
We won't hurt anymore
No I don't believe our love's terminal
I'm down on my knees begging you please
Come home

When he sang the last line of the bridge, he slid onto his knees to Taylor's seat. Taylor shook her head in disbelief over what Troy was doing right now. She's never felt so embarassed in her entire life (except when she discovered him cheating on her last Christmas).

"Oh, my God, Troy." a blushing Taylor thought as she was still shaking her head. The crowd was cheering over the basketball player's performance. "I can't believe you would do all of this just for me."

Taylor didn't want to admit it, but she couldn't lie. Troy Bolton CAN sing. She knew she couldn't hold a grudge against him for the rest of her life. She knew he was a human being just like her, and he makes mistakes just like her. She knew that if he wasn't really sorry for cheating, he wouldn't have signed up for the Talent Show and singing a song from her favorite group trying to win her back. Tears started to form in her big brown eyes as Troy's sapphire blue eyes kept staring at her singing.

Can we go back to the days our love was strong (Wanna build a new life)
Can you tell me how a perfect love goes wrong (Just you and me, Gonna make you my wife Raise a family)
Can somebody tell me how to get things back
The way they use to be
Oh God give me a reason
I'm down on bended knee
I'll never walk again until you come back to me
I'm down on bended knee

After he finishes the song, the auditorium stayed dead silent. Everyone was waiting for Taylor to respond as all eyes were now on her. Troy comes in closer to her and wispers to her, "Taylor, I'm sorry. I love you so much; you are the only girl for me. I'm nothing without you. I was a fool for what I did to you last year. But, I'm a changed man. If you take me back, I will never mistreat you again. Will you take me back?" He searches through her brown orbs looking for an answer.

Surprised at the lengths Troy has gone through to get her back, a teary-eyed Taylor nods her head and whispers "Yes, Troy. I forgive you. I will take you back." An overjoyed Troy stands up and grabs Taylor in his arms and kisses her all over chocolate face. Within seconds, the entire audience stood to their feet and applauded Troy and Taylor for making up and getting back together.

With the strong performance Troy and his friends gave today, the judges easily declared them the winners of the Spring Talent Show.

When Troy and Taylor made it outside to his truck, Troy planted a big, passionate kiss on Taylor's chocolate lips. He whispered to her lips, "Thank you for taking me back, Taylor. You don't know how much you mean to me. For that, I love you."

She replied to him back, "You're welcome, Troy. I love you too." She quickly kissed him back and that kiss quickly led to a big make out session in the back of Troy's car.

Even though the 1st prize trophy was wonderful, it was nothing compared to HIS first prize trophy: Taylor Ariel McKessie.

THE END!!!

Well, I hope you all like this story.

Since I didn't get any requests after I posted "Happily Ever After", I won't post up it's follow up until I get at least three more requests (I don't care what couple). And trust me, the follow up will be a VERY STRONG M rated one shot.

PLEASE KEEP SENDING ME THOSE REQUESTS! If I don't get any, I can't do them.
