I'm sorry I haven't updated this in a while and that this may not be very good, but I really did not want to leave you guys hanging with this. So here it is and please, please, review.

Troy ran down the hall to the waiting room, sweaty and out of breath. When he got there his friends and Ryan were there and got up quickly when they saw him. "Troy? What's going on?" Gabriella asked speaking for the whole group. He took his time breathing and he took one last big one and smiled.

"She's awake. Sharpay's awake." Troy said with a bigger smile and they all looked at each other and smiled and jumped as Ryan began to cry because he was happy that his sister was still alive so he could resolve things with her.

-------------------------

After Troy told their friends she was still alive he walked back in to see Sharpay getting blood taken from her and the doctor turned to see him. "We have to run some tests on her, just to be careful and see if she's in full health." The doctor explained taking the viles in her hand. "I'll be back when I have the results." She said as they nodded and she left them alone.

Troy pulled a chair up and sat next to her bed side. He grabbed her hand and stroke the top of it with his thumb and he just couldn't help, but to smile. She smiled at him and than she realized what just happened and her smile soon faded. "Troy?" She asked with a worried voice.

"Yeah?" Troy replied in just as much of a worried voice. Sharpay began to tear up a little bit. "That test is gonna come back postive of something. I'm not sure what it's called, but I know it got me here." Sharpay said crying more and Troy looked at her and got up and held her, until she calmed down a little bit.

Not more than 20 minutes later Dr. Adams came back in with the results. "Everythings gonna be okay." He asurred Sharpay and she nodded. "I have the results from your test, everything seems to be okay, except for the fact you've been tested positive for Crystal Myth in your system." Sharpay sighed knowing she was going to be postive for some type of drug, so she wasn't surprised. "So I think Sharpay, that you should get some rest." Dr. Adams said and Sharpay nodded and Troy turned to Sharpay and kissed her on the head. "I'll be right outside and we'll talk later after you get some rest." He said stroking her cheek and she nodded as they left her room.

---------------------------

"Um...Mr.Bolton, we also found that when she was..." The doctor started looking for the right word "Dead." Troy finished. "Yes, that she had a large number of bruises and one in particular on her stomach. Have you noticed anything, like her wincing, complaining." Dr. Adams asked and Troy crossed his arms in disbelif and remember what happened the night she stayed over. "We were playing around together on Friday and when I touched her stomach her laughing turned into screaming in pain. But I don't know anything about it, like how she got them." Troy stated and the doctor nodded and she took note and said thank you for his time and cooperation.

------------------------------

Troy walked back into Sharpay's room and sat in the chair he was in before and watched her sleep, thinking of all the events that have happened that day. She suddenly stirred and saw Troy looking at her and she smiled. "Hey." She whispered, he gave her a smile and said hey back.

"Shar, can you lift the gown please?" Troy asked her as her smile faded and she lifted it slightly easy, so she won't be in any pain. She lifted it to her bra line and that's when Troy saw the massive black and blue bruise taking over her slender stomach. Troy reached out and touched her stomach lightly. "Ouch." She screamed with tears in her eyes. "Sorry." He replied. Troy was bewildered what he was seeing.

Troy POV.

I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I didn't know what to say either. My words were lost because of the sight. I could not say I feel her pain because I don't know who is doing this to her and I never experience anything remotely close to this. Everytime she winced in pain, I shuddered. I wanted to know who was hurting her and why.

At this point I was angry out of my mind. She began to cry again and I held her close like before, rocking her back in forth to calm her down. "No ones going to do this again. I swear to you." I promised as she wrapped her arms around me and cried into my shirt.

I swore and promised and I tend to keep it. I needed to know what was going on though. Why was she positive for Crystal Myth in her system? Who's hurting her? I know I said I wouldn't force her to tell me, but now it's getting way out of hand. "Shar, who did this to you?" I asked looking into her glassy brown eyes. She looked down and back at me, but didn't respond.

"Look remember how I told you that I wasn't going to force you to tell me?" She nodded, but still didn't respond. "Well now it's getting pretty serious. I want to help you, but I can't do that if you don't tell me what's going on." I explained.

Sharpay POV.

I'm scared out of my mind. I want to tell Troy what's going on, but I don't want him to hate me. I don't want to lose the best thing in my life and that's him. But I look at him in front of me and I can see in his ocean blue eyes that he really wants to help me. My emotions were getting the better of me again and my eyes became visible of tears. Before I knew it, Troy's hand was in mine again.

At that moment when I felt his hand in mine, I knew I could trust him even more, because he's there and I think he always will be. I nodded and began to explain. "I have problems at home. They started when I was six and have been going on since. Ever since my mom died, I lost hope in everything. Remember how they concluded that her death was suicide?" I asked Troy, knowing he knew about her death and the 'suppose' reason why she died, being that she was prefectly healthy. He nodded and I started again.

"Well we kept it a secret the whole time, but it wasn't a suicide, my dad killed her and I wished everyday since that day that he'd kill me too." I said beginning to cry again and he hugged me. I couldn't tell him anymore at this point. The pain is to unbearable, thinking of my mom and the last eleven years being in hell with my father.

"Look I know it's hard, just tell me two things is he hurting you and is he the reason you got on this drug?" Troy asked me as he held me and I nodded slightly and he nodded as well. I think he understood how hard it was for me to relive the ordeals. Now everyone will know that Sharpay Evans life is not as perfect as people think, it's more disfunctional than anything. "Troy?" I asked in a raspy voice from my tears. He still held me close and I hoped he'd never let me go. "Yeah?" He finally answered. "Promise me you won't tell any of our friends and anyone else about what I just told you." I said and he sighed slightly and said "I promise. Your secret is safe with me and I'll do everything I can to help you through this. All of this." He assured me and I smiled and lifted my head and I looked into his eyes. "I love you." I said and he smiled at me and said he loved me back and gave me a meaningful, yet needed kiss.

After a while Troy fell a sleep with me in his arms. He was laying on my hospital bed next to me and I could feel his breathing and I laid my head on his chest and snuggled up to him and when I heard his heart beat, I knew that Troy Bolton will be the guy who will protect me through everything and that I'm in love with him even more.

Okay that's the update tell me what you think. Once again I'm sorry for not updating quicker, but I'm trying my best. Anyways tell me what you think.
