DISCLAIMER: I don't own the plot! :]


"So, how are you..?" Sharpay asked, trying to break the awkward silence between the three people sitting in her living room.
"We're…okay. Hanging on. You know how it is right after college." Taylor said, her hand laced in between Chad's, who was looking at Sharpay.
"Yeah…I guess. If you count me being at Julliard, with a full-ride scholarship." She smiled, clearing her throat, and then taking a long drink of the water that sat in front of her.
"That sounds…fun." Chad commented, squeezing Taylor's hand.
"So, when are you due?" Taylor asked, nodding towards Sharpay's stomach.
Sharpay smiled and placed her hand over her stomach. "Around July 30th. We found out a few weeks ago that I was about 3 weeks along. Well, if my math is correct, it's around July 30th. So, you guys have been together since we graduated, then, right?" Sharpay asked, diverting the attention from herself.
Taylor smiled at Sharpay, then over at Chad, looking at him lovingly "Yeah, we've been together for about 6 years now." She looked back at Sharpay. "You and Troy, since graduation, too?"
The blonde nodded, running a hand through her hair. "Five years. We were together for 2, we've been married for 3."
The awkward silence fell upon the three again, and was broken seconds later, as Troy came through the door. Sharpay quickly stood up and went over to him. He looked at her and she wrapped her arms tightly around his neck, whispering comforting words in his ear. Troy and Chad glanced at each other, a unspoken understanding passing between the two.
"Lets go find Gabby." Chad whispered to Taylor as he took her hand, and stood up. Wordlessly, the two left, leaving Sharpay and Troy alone.

"Gabby?" Taylor whispered, opening the door to her best friend's temporary room.
The brunette was lying on her side, looking out the window. Soundlessly, Taylor went to Gabby and pulled her close. Gabby started to cry, for the third time that day. It was always she that ended up getting hurt. Throughout high school, and even now. She didn't know what she was going to do.
"Tay, I want to come live here." Gabby said, wiping her eyes.
"Okay…you mean come to U of A?" Taylor said, raising an eyebrow. Gabby nodded, lying back on her pillow.
"Gabs, I don't want you to have to torture yourself by seeing him with her all the time." Taylor said, tenderly placing her hand on Gabby's knee.
"I don't care. He needs to know about Jade, and I need her to know him. That's all there is to it." Gabby decided, looking at her best friend, seriously.


BLAH. Writer's block! Help? :] Sorry it's short. Filler, period.
I'm wondering if Lindsey's reading this story, because if she is, I know she'll come up with some ideas.
GIRL, if you do come up with an idea, PM in to me, because I don't want everyone else to see the idea :]
Everyone else, if you have ideas, lemme know. Other than that, Read and Review! :D
xo Caroline.
