Sharpay & Aundrea Evans

Troy & Aurelia Bolton

Los Angeles, 17:31 pm

"What's wrong?"

She turned her head from the view of Troy and Laura, facing a black haired girl. Taylor Danforth. A girl she hadn't seen in nine years, a girl that she hadn't talked to for the past nine years, a girl that never used to like her in high school. And that girl was standing there beside her.

"Nothing" she said facing Taylor, giving the girl her full attention

"You're lying," she said eyeing her curiously, trying to get something out of her

"Nothing's wrong. The twins were… fine, I guess" said the blonde-haired woman hugging herself trying to warm her body up from the coldness in the room

"I'm not talking about the twins," she said simply

"What do you mean?" she said quietly

"Sheesh… I'm talking about you and him"

"What? Me and him?" she was still pretending not to understand what she was talking about

Actually, she knew what she was talking about…

Sharpay Evans and Troy Bolton

"Mom!" greeted both twins to her when she stepped back to the room

Troy gave her a concerned look, but she decided to ignore it, she didn't want to have a moment with Troy again like earlier, especially with Troy around

"Hey honey" she developed the twins in a warm hug

"What took you so long?" said Aud sitting with Aul again in the hospital bed

"Uh…" she glanced at Troy, then faced the twins again, "Nothing honey… I just called Uncle Ryan, Aunt Gabby and Aunt Bridgett to come"

"They're coming?" her face lit up

"Really? I can't wait to see them," said Aul

"Oh… Thanks Aunt Shar, I really appreciate you calling mom and dad," said Caitlyn

She just gave the little brown-haired girl a smile

"You don't seem to look sick anymore," said Sharpay turning her face to a concerned look to Aul

"I felt fine… now," she said

She looked at Troy. She wanted to tell them all about Dr. McKenzie had told them in her office… but not about their fighting part. It was as if they could read each other's mind. They didn't say anything… but both knew what each other's are saying. They had a connection. A really strong connection. But they were too blind to realize their special connection. Not everyone could do that. Only people that were really meant to be.

She crunched her eyebrows to Troy. She knew he understood it. They had to tell it sooner and later to them, or maybe they could find out on their own, just like they did with their parents' name. They had a right to know even they were still nine.

"Aud, Aul… We have something to tell you"

Suddenly Sharpay's cold hand felt collided with his warm hand. He was holding her hand without realizing. But he needed support to tell this, and he knew she needed that too, just like him. Laura sent them a glare while the twins and the rest of the room smiled at their action. Troy quickly took back his soft hand from her cold one. Cold began to cover her hand once again. She just wanted to felt that warmness… even just once. He sat on the chair beside the bed while Sharpay, Aud and Aul were sitting on the blue covered bed meanwhile everyone was sitting on the sofa.

"You're getting back togeth…"

Aud wasn't thinking about what she was about to say. But thank god, her sister covered her mouth before she could utter the word together. Her sister knew, she could possibly say the word together of their parents in front of Laura, even his father wouldn't seem to mind. Together… is a really meaningful word. It meant with each other, feel friendliness or love, with each other's company, so as to be joined with each other. But all that meanings was just written in the dictionary, in that room… The word together was like created especially to put Sharpay and Troy together. But Laura was not going to take that

"Pardon my sister for interrupting… You were saying?" Aul put her hand below her chin and watching the two 'couple' dreamily with a smile while having her hopes that they were going to utter 'together'

"You're sick… Aul. Really sick" said Sharpay trying so hard not to let tears fell free from her eyes

Her smile was gone. Actually, not just her smile… But everyone else's in the room too… Except for Laura… She was actually jumping and screaming inside her heart that his soon-to-be husband's child was about to be d-e-a-d. She just wished that Sharpay would packed her things and get back with the other 'little witch' and left her and Troy to live in… not their… her happy ending.

"What do you mean? I told you just now I'm fine" she said trying to convince her and her parents

"You are fine… For now…" said Troy stroking her hair softly then kissing her forehead

"Daddy! Just tell me all about it… I can handle it" she said gulping down the lump in her throat

Troy took a deep breath, he knew… Even if she said she could handle it… she could not… No one could. Even Sharpay cried when she knew that on the first time, and she was not the on who was going to die. She was her own blood and flesh that she did not raise.

"You have… Feloxia" his voice rang clearly in everyone's ear with glum, but no one really know what that one deadly word meant, except for one…

"What!? Feloxia? I don't even believe that it ever existed. You must be wrong Troy!" said Taylor poking his chest

"I'm not kidding! She's my… our daughter" taking a glance to Sharpay who was in verge of tears

"What's Feloxia?" said Aud calmly squeezing her sister's hand hoping for not a horrible answer

"It's a rare... deadly disease. The person who gets it will… just die in a short time" said Taylor with glum in her voice she didn't realize that she was talking to children

"What?"

The twins couldn't believe their ears. She was going to die; and it's not long. Tears started to overflow in the room. No one could handle it. Sharpay started to sob harder then she did at Dr. McKenzie's office. Troy did not know what to do, he stayed strong even tears was stinging to fall from his eyes. He enveloped Sharpay to a hug. He did not care what Laura thought anymore. She had cried too much today. And one of her cries was because their fight in Dr. McKenzie's office; it was because of him. He did not worth her tears… not even one… because he made her cried. He only worth her tears if he never made her cried.

Laura's jaw fell but she didn't saw anything. Everyone was busy to shed his or her waterworks that no one realized that Laura was practically clenching her fist until it was pale. It had just been a few hours and her fiancé was already clinging to his ex again. She did not going to take him in that kind 'a condition. She wanted him to be just for her. Only her, not even sharing him with a single person. Not even Aud or Aul, and most importantly Sharpay. Even if he still had an old family, that didn't mean he could still be hugging his ex. They had divorced and she was getting married with him, he cannot do that; even how much he still loved his ex

"I can't believe you had to go so fast," Aud said between sobs to the girl in her hug

"It's okay Aud… We get to know each other… In addition, I met mom and dad… That was practically enough for me" she said watching her mom sobbing in her dad's arms

Aul was strong. She didn't cry much, it was just a few tears that escaped her twinkling blue eyes that resemblance his dad piercing ones. She did not sob as much as her mom that was practically could make the room in flood for a few more hours, and it was she that was going to die. She didn't ask for much. She felt that she had lived her life the fullest, she had saw all the colorful things of the world even she was still young, that was because she was not afraid to take chances. She had finally met her parents and most importantly, Aud. That was actually more than a dream come true for her that fate had brought their family to a same room finally again. She was not asking for much; and if she had to die right that time, she was going to rest in peace.

Aul rubbed Aud's back comforting her, just like her mom… She was more emotional than her. She was not the one that was going to die and she was sadder than her. She wanted more time with her sister. She wanted her family to get back again. She wanted her to spend more time in earth with her and did things that they did not have a chance to. Nevertheless, even her hopes were as high as the sky; it was not going to be granted by the God.

"I… I have a confession," said Kathleen rising from the sofa and standing up in front of the room

"What confession?" Troy said turning to his tearful housekeeper, still holding Sharpay who was wiping her tears, in his arms

"I… I think I switched the twins... when Sharpay got home from the hospital nine years ago"

Everyone was shocked. The room grew silent and Laura groaned inside her. Great, more problems to solve; it was her wedding and she was stuck in a room filled with people she hated.

"What!? You knew about Aul's Feloxia and you didn't tell me nine years ago?" said Troy losing his nerves approaching Kathleen like he was about to strangle her… but he wouldn't possibly do that.

Sharpay hold him back from going near to Kathleen, it was not Kath's fault. Right from the start, it was her fault. It was her fault that she didn't tell anyone about the disease, it was her fault she ran away, it was her fault she separated the twins right from the start, and it was her fault that she and Troy divorced. However, that last mistake was not her fault. It was Troy's. They had their share in twists and turns in their lives. Some was her fault and some was his, but she preferred to think it all as hers. She always gave herself a hard time, she never thought about quick fix and she always put everyone else's first… even sometimes that were good, it just ended her with future complications… like that time…

"SHE DIDN'T KNOW! It was my fault that I did not tell anyone and now she's like this… It was my fault to separate them… It was my fault you didn't love me anymore!" she had lost all her control and let that last thing slipped accidentally from her mouth while his fiancé was sitting right there

The twins and everyone in the room was in complete shocked. It was again… filled with awkward silence; only Sharpay's sobs that could be heard. She was that time practically breaking down in the floor… crying. Troy slowly helped her stood up and enveloped her in a warm hug. But only that time, it couldn't calm her down. The problems seemed to come up all of the sudden at a time. She could not take it… it was too much for her to handle. She was not as strong as her kids anymore… She had changed without Troy. She had lost all her strength without him in her life.

"It's not your fault" he whispered in her ears and stroked her soft silky blonde hair that had not really changed since high school.

He turned his head to see Kathleen waiting the right time to give her explanation about the switched twins

"Kath… Could you… explain it to us?" he said calmly

He remained cool in the room. He kept a clear mind, he knew freaking out or breaking down would not bring anything. It would not change the fact and the fate. He was actually exploding inside though, it was coming like one time crash and it did not stop. The problems kept pouring, first about Aul's attack, then her disease and now that Kath switched the twins

"I…I went home first just like Shar had told me… nine years ago" she said inhaling a deep breath then she started to continue, "I… I thought something was wrong. So I put the twins to their rooms. Then after I went to the Grocery's I thought back if I had put the right twin in the right place. I knew I did not… I just knew it… I realized that I would change their places in the right places… However, they were gone… You did not take Aul… You took Aud," she said with tears slowly fell from her glistening eyes.

"I… We knew it… Dr. McKenzie said that her DNA test didn't match the one she took when she first got diagnosed Feloxia," said Troy

"So I'm not Aud?" said Aul wiping her tears

"And I'm not Aul?" she asked following her twin

"Aud was the one who was diagnosed having Feloxia. Now, she didn't… In fact Aul did. Aul was actually Aud. They were switched… Sharpay took the wrong twin. She thought she took Aud while actually she took Aul" said Troy

"I… Yeah, Dr. McKenzie told us at her office," said Sharpay wiping her tears

"So… Now what?" said Aul

"We changed our name?" suggested Aud wiping her tears from her cheeks

"I don't think that's necessary," said Troy

Laura groaned. She could not believe it. Her day was officially ruined because of two harmless twin girls. She imagined herself probably in Hawaii drinking some expensive cocktail or something with her 'husband' in their honeymoon living in luxury. Nevertheless, she was wrong; she was stuck with the girls, watching her almost-husband practically holding into her ex every now and then.

She was going to do something about that

Troy Bolton & Laura Reynolds

Los Angeles, 10:27 pm

He turned the hot water on and closed his eyes. He let the hot water ran through his body relaxing all his muscles while thinking about what had happened that day. He never thought to actually saw Sharpay again… in his wedding day. Moreover, he was just thinking about her being his bride. It might seem crazy for everyone. However, he did not decide his own fate, God did.

He closed his eyes. He had felt Sharpay in his arms again, holding her close to his body. Her scent, her warmth, he could still felt it. He was missing her too much that he could not think clear and though about anything else but the beauty perfection blonde. He wanted to hold her hand again, he wanted to hug her again, and he wanted her to be married with him again… Moreover, that all were impossible with Laura around. Watching him holding Sharpay's hand was already burning her… Jealousy… That was Laura; she had filled with jealously, anger, hatred and lust

That was what he was afraid of… Her lust, it had been a few times that Laura had asked him to 'nail' her, but he did not want to have sex with her, or worse, had her kids. Marrying her was already bad enough. He was afraid that after he was taking a shower might turn to be one of the nights that she was trying to seduce him. He knew he was an idiot to be with Laura. He used to have the perfect life; with Sharpay. He needed her; he could not stand Laura, knowing Sharpay was around him that time…

It was true… Sharpay had decided to stay in the hospital to look after the twins with Kathleen. She had turned down his offer to stay with him in his mansion. She said she needed to look after the twins and spend some more time with Aul because no one knew when she would be gone. He didn't want to let her just stayed there with only Kathleen looking after her and his kids. He wanted her to feel safe, but he was also, somehow, proud by her motherhood that she loved her kids so much and she was giving all the time she had left to spend her time with Aul.

He turned off the shower letting cold starting to cover his body again. He stepped out from the bathroom, with a push letting him fall to the king sized bed. Laura had a good grip and he knew he couldn't get out from that situation. He knew it was coming sooner or later… He had slept with the girl that he didn't love.

Sharpay & Aundrea Evans & Aurelia Bolton

Los Angeles, 10:45

"You know you should do with dad to the house" said Aul pulling her covers up to her slightly smirking to her sister beside her

"And who's going to take care of you three girls?" she pointed the twins and Caitlyn

"Come on… We're on a freaking hospital… If something happened, we are already in a hospital" said Aud

"I'm here to wait for your uncle and aunts too… I'm not just going to invite them to your dad's house and bug his 'alone' time with Laura" said Sharpay pulling her feet up to the chair, hugging them

"I'm sure he wouldn't mind" said Aud

"Get to sleep honey" said Sharpay watching the only brunette in the room had fallen asleep peacefully on the white sofa

She watched the twins moving around the bed struggling to get to sleep. She didn't feel sleepy at all, and she had cried a lot that day. A lot were on her mind… Mainly Troy since her problems with the twins had settled. She couldn't help but thinking what Troy and Laura was doing in his big, empty mansion. He didn't move even after Sharpay left. Even that house brought many memories, he still wouldn't abandon it, it was the closest thing he got to Sharpay. Sharpay's mind telling her to let go of him and moved on with her life, like Troy did… because he was getting married, however, her heart was telling her to fight for him and that they were meant to be. She couldn't choose between her mind and heart. She just chose to watch him moving on with his life and letting her heart breaking down into pieces…

They only person who could mend it was only him… because he was the one who broke it in the first place, and then he just left their memories and moved on with Laura. That was what she thought, he didn't forget about her. He still sincerely loved her and her place in his heart couldn't be replaced because she had written her name in his heart even before the twins had born

"Mom…"

She snapped out from her thoughts and faced Aul.

"You're not asleep yet?"

"I'm not sleepy"

"Are you sure?" she said giving her mom a sympathetic look

She nodded merely to her resemblance that tried to get back to sleep once again. But that didn't work, so she turned to face her again and opened her eyes…

"Mom..." she trailed her voice

"Huh?" she took her hand and stroked it softly

"Why did you and dad separate?" she said simply

It was a really simple question. She didn't really know why. She guessed she was mad right after she moved to California that she sent the divorce paper right away. She didn't think, she didn't think that she would be able to love him again after that, but she was wrong. She still loved him with all of her heart, if only he knew that. She didn't want her child to hate her father too… She was about to be dead and Sharpay didn't want that she would spent the left time hating her dad for cheating from her mom… with Laura. That bitch, if only he could open his eyes what he was getting himself to by marrying that girl…

"I… Not much for a reason but… I think your dad stopped loving me"

Wrong. That was wrong. Totally wrong… He didn't stop loving her and he didn't cheat, it was all a misunderstood that he didn't get to explain to her. And even that she was right in front of him when they got 'reunited', he didn't take that chance to explain everything. He was making everything hard…. And Aul knew that.

"I wouldn't think that as a reason… if I were you" she closed her eyes again then mumbled, "He didn't stop loving you"

She didn't want to believe her daughter because what she said didn't make any sense, just like what Troy said to her earlier. Aul couldn't possibly know what her dad felt about her. Aul didn't even know her because Troy never said a word about her… except that "She was a great person". She didn't get Troy at all. If he did still love her, he wouldn't marry Laura. She thought that Troy hated Laura, but she was the one that he was having an affair with… Everything that included Troy in her life… Didn't make any sense.

Wrote a name in the sand,

But the waves washed it away.

Wrote a name on my hand

But I washed it the next day.

Wrote a name on a piece of paper

But I accidentally threw it away...

I wrote a name in my heart

And forever it will stay…
