Chapter 4
Troy was surprised to see Mr. and Mrs. Evans in the hospital. Why are they here? Did something happen to Sharpay? He thought. He felt the goose bumps when he thought about why Sharpay's parents are there.
"Auchante, Richard. Over here." Troy's mom called out. They parents have been friends since college. Mrs. Evans turned around. She saw Mr. And Mrs. Bolton.
"Lucile!" Mrs. Evans said then went over them. Mr. Evans and Mr. Bolton gave each other a hand shake while Mrs. Evans and Mrs. Bolton gave each other a hug.
"How's Troy? I feel bad about what happened."Auchante said looking at Troy.
"He's fine now. But he has to stay here for a couple of days." Lucile said.
"What's did the doctors said about him?" Richard asked.
"The doctor said that he's gonna be fine." Jack replied. They walked through the hallway of the hospital. They brought Troy to his room.
"We're gonna leave you here for a while, son. We have to talk with your doctor." His mom said.
"Take care Troy." Mr. and Mrs. Evans said. Then they all left the room.
After awhile Troy heard noises outside his room. His parents were talking with Sharpay's parents. He went near the door and tried to listen to their conversation.
"Lucile stop crying, Troy is going to be just fine." Auchante reassured her.
"B-but I th-thought he's g-getting better." Lucile said in between sobs.
"What did the doctor said to you? And please tell me the truth." Auchante said.
"But please promise me not to tell your kids." Lucile said.
"Ok. We promise." Mr. and Mrs. Evans said.
"When Troy was 9 yrs. old he was diagnosed with Leukemia. It's a type of cancer in the blood." Lucile said. Auchante was shocked upon hearing this.
"Oh Lucile, I have to tell you something, too. But please don't tell Troy."
"Ok."
"Well, when my daughter was 10 yrs. old she was also diagnosed with Leukemia."
They both cried and hugged. Troy heard all of this. He started to cry. Sharpay also has leukemia. That means that she's also gonna die. His parents entered his room and surprised to see him at the door.
"Mom, dad. I heard what you've been talking. Does she really have leukemia? Was that the reason she wasn't in school for a week?" he said then started crying again.
"Yes, Troy. Sharpay has leukemia. But she doesn't want others to know because she doesn't want them to pity her." Mrs. Evans said. Troy cried harder.
"I guess we both have the same reason. Can I see her?"
"Well, I guess you can see her. You already know her secret. And I know that the reason you were brought here to the hospital was because you waited for her in the rain."
They brought Troy to Sharpay's room. When they entered the room Troy saw Sharpay lying in the bed with a lot of IVs attached to her.
"Troy?" Ryan said.
"Sharpay!" Troy said enthusiastically.
"What are you doing here Troy?" Sharpay asked weakly.
"I'm here to visit you."
"But why are you in a patient's gown?"
"Huh. This. Uhm."
"Maybe we'll just leave you two here alone. Ryan lets go." Auchante interrupted. Then their parents left the room.
"I know why you're here Pay. You don't have to hide your secret to me anymore. I know you have leukemia. And you have chemo that's why you weren't in school for a week." Sharpay sat up. Troy helped her. Then he sat on a chair next to Sharpay's bed.
"Did my parents tell you?"
"No. I over heard them outside the door. You should have told me before Pay. We're bestfriends."
"I'm sorry Troy but I just don't want you to pity me."
"That's my reason, too."
"Reason to what Troy?"
"Oh nothing.. Just forget it Pay."
"I thought there won't be secrets any more."
"I'm sorry Pay. It's just that…."
"Have you been crying
Troy?" Sharpay cut him off.
"Uhm… No, there's just
something in my eyes."
"That's another secret Troy."
"Ok. Ok. I'll tell you. I also have leukemia Pay. And that's also my reason fro not telling you. And yes I cried when I heard you had leukemia too awhile ago. Happy now" troy said. Sharpay let a tear fall from her eyes.
"You have leukemia? That's why you're here. When?"
"When I was 9."
"So that's why you don't have hair when I first met you."
"Yeah. I just finished chemo that time. Did you also lose your hair?"
"Yep. But mom bought me a wig just like my hair so it wasn't too obvious."
"I'm glad we're talking right now. I really missed you Pay"
"I missed you too Troy." Then Troy stood up and came closer to her. Their faces were now inches away. Troy closed the gap with a kiss. It was the second time they kissed. Sharpay responded to the kiss. Troy licked her lips begging for entrance. Sharpay parted her lips and their tongues begin to fight inside her mouth. They shared a very passionate kiss. Sharpay thought about Gabriella. She ended the kiss. "What about Gabriella?" she asked.
"Way to kill the mood Pay. There's nothing between me and her. Ok?"
"But you kissed."
"She kissed me. I didn't' kiss her. And besides I'm in love with somebody else."
"May I know who's this somebody is?"
"I'll give you a clue…" then he gave her a peck on the lips, "I just kissed her." He finished.
"Ok.. Uhmm.. Let me think.. Do I know her?" she said with a grin.
"I love you Pay."
"I love you too Troysie." Then they shared another passionate kiss but were cut short when the door opened.
"Troy. You know my sister is sick. What are you doing with her?" Ryan said. Both of them blushed.
"You better go now Troy. I'll see you later."
"Ok. I'll go now. Take care Pay. Later, Ry" He gave Sharpay a peck on the lips then left.
