A/N: I was pretty happy with this chapter so I hope you are too!!

"Shit!" Jack boomed banging his fist on the wall. Chad found himself dumbfounded and Gabriella's mom let out a long depressing cry into his mothers arms. All the while Troy stood there...motionless as doctors yelled at one another pumping electricity into her system. To Troy the world had stopped everything was quiet and gray, never did he think he could fall for a girl like her but after all they had been through he couldn't resist the urge for more.

"We're getting a pulse...we got it!" a doctor shouted as her heart rate started up again. Tears of joy ran down everybody's cheeks but Troy's. Several doctors hugged Mrs. Montez and then looked to Troy. They all nodded and all left the room the last doctor closing the door behind him.

Troy looked to her still motionless. Her stomach moved up and down at a steady beat. Was this all worth it? One day could be the best day of his life and then everything could turn to crap with just a minor incident...was all this heart ache and sick feeling he had felt worth continuing what he thought they had?

"Troy..." Gabriella mumbled and turned on her side.

"Hey." he said softly. Walking over to her he looked down at the almost wide awake girl. "You know I've been through enough already just spending two months with you. The pain never goes away. When I see you at school is it the last time I'm going to see you. Next time I hug you is it the last time I'll fell your warm embrace?" walking over to her he pulled up a chair.

"I don't know Troy, you might be right." weakly looking up at him she smiled letting out a soft giggle.

"Why are you smiling?! This is no joke, I could walk away right now and never see you again!"

"Troy calm down. The last thing I need to do is feel sorry for myself! I found out I had cancer when I was seven, ever since then I moped around like life was useless and I had no reason to live." she sat up and looked him in the eye tears forming in her light brown eyes. "But then I met you, and I thought you know what for once in my life I feel good. It felt good to be around you Troy I felt like I was on top of the world because you made me feel like I had a reason to live." tears slowly rolled down her soft cheeks now and Troy stayed tearless.

"Gabriella I'm glad I made you feel this way. But this isn't going to work if in two hours you could possibly leave this world forever!"

"The lets make the most of what we have!"

"I can't!" Troy slammed his fist down on the desk beside them. It rumbled almost knocking over a lamp. "I don't have anymore room for sorrow in my heart...I'm sorry but I just can't." his voice choked up and tears flew uncontrollably from his eyes. Standing up he left her alone and slammed the door.

"Troy honey what's wrong?" his mom rushed to his side and put her arms around his shoulder. "Take me home." he whispered.

"Please just take me home." he said a little louder as Jack shuffled in his pockets for his keys.

"Bye Chad." Troy's mom waved to Chad as thy dropped him off at his house. The ride to their house was silent and the pale sky and rain softly hitting the windows didn't make it any better.

Troy slammed the car door and opened the door to his house. Running up the steps he slammed his door like all the rage bottled up inside just needed to explode. But he wouldn't let that happen, not even if he had to keep it all inside for the next couple of days.

"Troy! Troy! Ah finally nice of you to join us." Mrs. Trescott smiled at a sleepy Troy who had his head rested on his desk. He couldn't let himself fall asleep, he worried to much. Gabriella had been released from the hospital but he didn't see her around school. Several people were talking about how pale she looked and how her usual warm smile had faded away.

The bell rang and Troy grabbed his books and darted out of the room. Walking down the hallways he could feel all eyes on him, but this time it felt different the the normal 'oh my god Troy Bolton just walked past me' looks. Ignoring th whispers that followed the daggering eyes he put his books in his locker and headed for Drama. Ignoring his friends he took short cuts and secluded hallways to help the whole stare situation. Once he reached Drama Sharpay was on stage and smiled.

"Troy!"

Frowning he turned it into a smile that would seem real. Walking on stage she ran to him and gave him a hug. "Guess what Troy?! You and I are going to be in the play together!" she squealed happily and clapped her hands. Pulling away he looked to Mrs. Darbus confused. "But what about-"

"Ms. Montez decided to sit this one out. in other words she turned in her part and is taking a break for awhile." Without thinking Troy darted off the stage and ran for the doors.

"Troy?!" Sharpay followed him running as fast as her heels would let her. Finally catching up to him she turned him around. "What are you doing?"

"I'm quiting."

"You can't quit. Your going to ruin MY show!" she yelled furiously. Troy raged with anger suddenly had the extra push that made him explode.

"Shut the hell up Sharpay. All you've done since we've gone out is bitch and complain. You go on and on about yourself your so conceited and ignorant you can't see what's right in front of you! You walk these halls like you know everything about everyone, but your wrong,. Do you even think before you open your fucking mouth? No you don't it's probably to much for your pea sized brain to take in at one time! You think you're the most popular girl in school but really every girl would love to put you in your prada bags straight into a coma. You don't think about anyone else because your to busy checking your face in the mirror. Maybe you wouldn't look so bad if you got a nose job. You need to take a step away from the mirror long enough to realize that it's not all about you! You think your problems like running out of make-up is the end of the world when you have no idea what people go through everyday, like Gabriella you know the girl you always push around like a piece of shit. She has cancer, she was in the hospital the other day because she damn near almost lost her life which is way more valuable then yours. You are probably worth no more than a penny." Troy barked as Sharpay's jaw hit the floor.

She had no idea where all this anger was coming from and was very insulted. Turning around Troy felt good about himself...but one thing he wasn't sure about was if he was ready to face Gabriella again...
