Last Chapter:

"Can I ask you where did you get the idea for the song?" My dad asked. I just looked around and everyone had curiousity in their eyes. I took a breath and nodded.

"When I was I think 15. My boyfriend cheated on me. Sharpay was over at my house giving me advise. She told my that what he did my hurt but it would make me a fighter in the end. She said it will make me stronger. So instead of yelling at him I just wrote a song. " I replied. They all looked at me amazed.

"Well I think it will have a wonderful meaning for people everywhere. And I am proud of you for writing it on your own." My mom said. I just smiled at her thankfully.

"I guess that guy is going to feel like a jerk when your song becomes big and he is left in the dust." Lauren joked. We all just laughed.

"Yeah. I guess the one good thing he ever did was give me an idea for a song. that's it. And that is all it is ever going to be." I said. Everyone just nodded.

I was proud of myself and so was everyone else.

This Chapter:

After the wonderful dinner from yesterday my life was just getting better and better. Today Troy and I were going to his publiscists office, where Troy, his publicist, his lawyer, a financer, and I were getting together. We both had decided with everything that is going on that we would start an organization to stop child abuse. That topic hit close to home, and I just thought it was down right despicable.

At the office

We were all seated around a rectagular table. Troy and I both being at the head, and the others on the sides. Three other people had joined our meeting. They were another publiscist and lawyer. The last guy was a Real Estate Agent sense we were going to buy a building for the orginaztion.

"So we found out that you two would like to open a charity?" A Troy's lawyer asked.( Troy's lawyer is Mr. Banks) We just nodded.

"Ok. So what would be the cause?" The other lawyer(Mr. Smith) aksed. Troy looked at me. I just nodded for him to speak.

"Well we decided that we would like to have a it be on Child Abuse." They all looked at us.

"Why?" Troy's publisicist(Ms. Jones) asked.

"When I was around ten I had a friend that would show up with bruises up and down her body. We all just thought it was from sports because she was very active. She would always wear the same clothes. I told my parents who called the police. They couldn't do anything until they set up a case so we had to wait. One day while I was at school the police walked in. My whole class was confused but I just had a gut feeling what happened. They took me outside and told me that her mother and father had beat her to death. I just think it shoud happen to no one. And there is no excuse." I explained to them. They looked at me.

"Ok. I just need you two to sign a couple papers the you just have to find a place." Mr. Banks said. He took out a couple packets of papers and two pens. Troy and I quickly signed the papers.

"What would you like the charity to be called?"The other publicist(Mr.Tome) asked. I looked at Troy and he silently nodded to tell me to answer.

"Concrete Angels." I said quietly.

"Ok." Ms. Jones answered.

"Here are a couple places you can look at. I found one that is only a couple miles away from your home so you don't have to travel far." The real estate agent (Mr. Taylor) answered handing over a packet.

"It is a 3 floor building. You could have enough room for offices and some rooms for children to sleep in case of emergency." He continued.

"Sounds good." Troy said while I nodded. "How much is this all going to cost?" He asked.

"Over all for the decorating and the building along with setting up the business it will be about half a million."Ms. James(Troy's Financer) said. I just nodded.

"Give me the total amount after everything is done then we will sign checks." Troy says. Everyone nods.

"Well as your first order of business. Would it be possible to finace this one child's hospital stay?" Ms. Jones asked us.

"What happened?" Troy asked.

"The girl is six. Neighbors heard noices so they called the cops. She was found severly beatened with her mom holding a glass beer bottle. The mother has been put in jail but the hospital can't finace her stay so she's going to have to go to a foster home." She explained to us.

"Get the social worker on the phone at call her up. Tell her that we are going to take temporary custody of her. Then can you tell us the girls name and where the hospital is?" I said while walking out the door. Troy and the others just looked at me. I heard a whisper from one of them.

"She's going to be a great head of the charity on day. And by the way congrats on the pregnancy."

I smiled at this. That thought just made me happy. I was going to be great. And they were happy about the baby. The world better be ready for me because HERE I COME.

A.N. Thanks for reading. I know it's a short chapter but I was listening to the song Concret Angels by Martina McBride and it came to me. Review please and I think I'm going to start another story.

Luv Ya,
