A depressed Troy and Gabriella sat in the hospital waiting room. Suddenly, Sharpay ran into the hospital room, screaming. She had gone home the night before after her encounter with Zeke. Gabriella's intense concentration on a torn up magazine from three years ago was immediately broken. "What?" she asked.

Sharpay started hyperventilating. "Z-Zeke…h-he's…a-awake!" she shrieked. She was so full of joy she ran over to a complete stranger and kissed the top of his shiny bald head.

"Do I get a kiss from you every time a patient wakes up?" the man asked. "Because I heard that another woman slipped out of her coma this morning."

"Ew, not a chance!" yelped Sharpay, pushing the man to the side.

Troy and Gabriella perked up at the news. "That's great, Sharpay! Did you two have some kind of romantic moment last night?" Gabriella questioned.

"Yes, and I think it worked!" Sharpay squealed. "My Zeke…he's awake! Well technically, he's sleeping, but he's out of his coma!"

Zeke's POV

The Night Before

"What is that voice, it's so sweet and beautiful. It seems so familiar", said Zeke (in his coma).

"Zeke, I just wanted to clear that up. So if you do end up leaving, I just wanted to tell you that. Yes, I still love you. Call me crazy, but I swear you're smiling right now." said the voice.

I'm smiling? It must be the one and only…Sharpay, Zeke thought.

"Zeke, I know this must be painful for you, but you can't leave me. My life would just be a lonely world, performing worldwide on Broadway, signing autographs for millions of fans…" Sharpay quickly caught herself. She realized she was making life without Zeke sound good. "Anyway, I know you must be in a lot of pain, and I know you are suffering. This is a lot to ask, but…hang in there. Please, I need you Zeke." explained Sharpay.

"Good night, I love you." she said, planting a soft kiss on his lips.

"Sharpay still loves me? What about Jet? Sharpay…still loves…me." he whispered. "I have to wake up for her…but it hurts too much. If I wake up, I'll enter the world full of hurt and pain again. If I leave, I'll be in peace." Zeke could feel his heart racing and the hot blood flowing through his body. Then Zeke remembered Sharpay's beautiful words, "I love you Zeke." He started running towards the place he knew he wanted to be.

END POV

Present time

"Chad! Wake up, Zeke's awake, he's awake!" shrieked Taylor, tugging at Chad's body.

"W-What? He's awake? He's awake!" cheered Chad. "Uncle Zeke isn't dying!" Chad told the triplets. The triplets were staying with Chad and Taylor since Troy and Gabriella were at the hospital the whole time.

"Does this mean there'll be no more crying?" asked Annabelle.

"He's awake? You're not lying?" asked Junior.

"Enough already! Let's get to the hospital!" cried Taylor.

"Alright Miss Evans, you may see Mr. Baylor now." said the doctor. Sharpay gasped when she saw Zeke awake, smiling. She ran over to the hospital bed.

"Zeke!" she cried. "You're awake! Thank God!" Her brown eyes welled with tears.

"I guess I'm back." he replied. His voice was rough and cracked.

"Zeke, I'm so sorry about everything. From breaking up with you, all the way to now!" exclaimed Sharpay. She hugged him carefully, trying not to hurt him. "From now on, it's going to be you and me."

"You meant it?" asked Zeke. Sharpay looked confused. "About you loving me. You really do love me?!" he was so weak his voice cracked.

Sharpay didn't want him to talk; he was already in enough pain. She put a finger to his lips, "Shhhh. Yes, Zeke. I still love you."

"But what about Jet?" asked Zeke.

"Honey, don't worry. I'm sure he'll understand." said Sharpay. Oh, how wrong she was.
