Hiiiiiiiii people, I was very bored in study and I really wanted to get another chapter up for this, and this is what I came up with!! Woohoo. Sorry it took so long, but me and RemyTheReaper (my beta reader) are engaged in a fluff-off. All my fluff is posted on my secondary fanfiction account, if you want to go read and review that (to help me beat her) then pm or review this saying so. I know you all couldn't care less, but hey, I can dream, right? Please R&R!!

RECAP!!-

The doorbell rang, shattering the peace of the room. Everyone exchanged glances, deciding who they were going to force to go get the door. Eventually, Kelsi stood up and, taking Jason's hand, walked over to the hallway that led to the door. The rest of the group heard quiet murmurs and a door opening, then a loud scream.

Everyone hurried to the door. Standing next to the open door, Jason had pulled Kelsi into a tight hug, staring ahead grimly. Lying on the doorstep, covered in blood, was the body of Ryan Evans.

Sharpay let out a loud, strangled yell, and ran forward.

"Ryan! Ryan!" she yelled, shaking his shoulders as if she were trying desperately to wake him up from some awful sleep. "Ryan," she whispered. She collapsed over his lifeless body and started crying.

Kelsi was staring out the door into the darkening night, her face a rigid mask. Only the tears that glazed her face betrayed her true feelings. Gabriella knew Kelsi had dated Ryan for a while before she had met Jason, and was still very good friends with him. Gabriella thought she had known how much this was hurting her friends, but looking at Kelsi, she saw that she had no idea.

In front of her, Zeke was kneeling beside Sharpay, trying to console her and calm her down enough to get her off of her twin's body. He finally managed to pry her away, her unicorn patterned shirt sticky with her brother's blood.

"Whoever is doing this," she said in a low voice that scared everyone. "Whoever the hell is torturing us all like this is going to pay. I am going to find that bastard, and kill him if it is the last thing I do."

Later that night, Gabriella was curled up on her couch, in her living room. Alone.

The group had reluctantly called the police, and told them a very basic, patchy story of what had happened. They only had said that the doorbell had rang and when they had answered, Ryan's body had been there. The police had asked about a million questions anyway, and had finally released Troy, Gabriella, Chad, Taylor, and Zeke. Jason, Kelsi, and Sharpay were still being detained by the cops. The rest of the group had tried ot wati around for them, but a rather irate policeman had shown up and booted them off.

"Look, kids, I'm sure it's tough to have a friend be killed. But you can't just sit around bothering officers about it. Trust me. Your being here, watching us do some real work is not going to help anyone. Just go home!" he had ended up yelling at them.

Miserably, Gabriella rolled over, feeling around on the coffee table for her phone, so she could call Troy. She jumped out of her skin when it rang a few inches from her hand. She picked up, after seeing that it was Troy calling.

"Hey, Troy. God, you scared me. I was just about to call you." said Gabriella, trying to sound carefree.

"Hey, Gabi. What's up?" he questioned.

"Nothing. Just kinda nervous. You know, since I'm here alone…" she trailed off.

"Want me to come over?" he offered.

"Would that be too much trouble?" Gabriella asked hesitantly.

"No, my parents are out to dinner, so they can't stop me from coming over." Troy replied.

"Don't they know about Ryan?"

"Nope. They're at a really long dinner. I'll be over in a few minutes, okay?"

"Okay, see you then. Bye." said Gabriella, hanging up. The moment she had, she wanted to call him back and beg him to talk to her until he was there. The phone rang again.

Gabriella answered immediately, figuring it was Troy again. "Hey, Troy, how'd you know I was just about to call you?" she asked, surprised.

"It's not your lover boy, Gabriella. It's me."

"You."

"Yes, me. You know me well enough, Gabriella. How did Sharpay handle Ryan?" the voice sounded like it was laughing, almost. "It must have been a real shock."

"You sick, evil, twisted, motherfking bastard, how could you?" Gabriella suddenly screamed. She let out a choked sob and drew in a long, shuddering breath, tears glinting in her eyes.

"I did it for us, Gabriella. You have to remember that friends are dispensable, Gabriella, but only love is worth fighting for. It's only a friend, Gabriella. You still have love."

"I…DO NOT…LOVE YOU!" Gabriella screamed into the phone and hung up. She heard a car pulling up outside, and footsteps on the porch. The phone rang once more, displaying 'unknown caller.' Again. She hit ignore, and went to the door where Troy stood.

"Hey," he greeted her, giving her a quick kiss. "You okay?"

Gabriella shook her head. "The stalker called again. After you hung up." she admitted. He was talking about how I shouldn't care that Ryan was dead, and asking how Sharpay was, and then he said, 'Friends are dispensable. Only true love is worth fighting for.'" She looked up at Troy. "Troy, I'm scared." she said softly.

"It's okay, Gabi, I'm here." Troy murmured, pulling Gabriella into a hug. "So, what do you want to do?" he asked brightly.

"Ummmmm…" Gabriella thought for a moment. "Well, I was going to watch a movie…" she stared up at him with puppy-dog eyes. Troy knew he was sentenced to watching a chick flick.

A few hours later, Gabriella and Troy were huddled together on the couch, watching Titanic. Gabriella was crying, because Jack had just died. The credits came on, and My Heart Will Go On came on. (I just had to do that…you'll understand if you're sami!) Gabriella started singing along to it, because it's the most amazing song EVER!!

"Troooooy…?" Gabriella drew out the vowel in her boyfriend's name and gave the puppy dog eyes again. Troy sighed, knowing she had some other evil demand in mind. He could pretty much guess what it was as well. He sighed and passed her the remote. About five minutes later, they were watching The Notebook. (not nearly as good as titanic, but it's okay) Troy looked down at Gabriella to see that she had fallen asleep. Troy sighed and picked her up. (He is soooo whipped…I loooove torturing him) He carried her to her room, and laid her down on her bed. He was about to leave when Gabriella's phone buzzed, announcing a new text. He picked it up and just couldn't help noticing that it was from stalker dude. He opened the text and read, Only love is worth fighting for, Gabriella. I will keep fighting for our love.

Troy ended up sleeping on Gabriella's couch (bcuz that's not sketchy at all) and woke up really really really early. He walked up to Gabriella's room.

"Hey, Gabi, rise and shine," he called out. There was no answer.

"Gabi? You up?" he called. Still nothing.

Trying to repress the feeling of growing terror in his stomach, he slowly walked into the room.

Gabriella's bed was still messy, her clothes still spilling out of the dresser drawers. It looked perfectly normal. There was no sign that anything was wrong. But Gabriella wasn't there.

Awful, I know, but it's a filler chapter anyway. I'll have more action and less chick flicks in the next chapter-promise!!
