A/N: Hey everyone. Sorry it took me so long to get this chapter out. I've been so busy. I've actually went through a few things that in three years, I'll look back and laugh. I've been so busy with work. Working two jobs is killing me. But luckily for once, I have a day off and that's why I'm updating now. I've got a few things to tell you guys.

First, if you love The Road, then please read my profile. I have an update in my profile that deals with that story.

Second, I'm really proud of my myself. Guess what I did the other day, I finally beat the level medium on Guitar Hero. Soon, I can start playing on hard. Yayy me. i'm so proud of myself

Third, I'd like to dedicate this chapter to Chamarctravis (hope I spelled your penname right, lol) She gave me the idea for this chapter. Thanks, Char. This chapter if for you. I hope you enjoy it..

Also, if you haven't already, check out People Can Change by SLE. I'm writing the next chapter of that story so look out for that one. Trust me, you won't regret it.

Moving on, I hope you all enjoy this chapter. All I'm going to say is I left you guys with a huge, I mean HUGE, cliffhanger. Just please don't kill me. Even I admit that I'm evil. MWAHAHAHAHAHA :P...

Nate looked up at the school. The past couple of hours have been a nightmare for him and his family. Shane is still trapped in the school as a hostage and they haven't heard anything new from the cops. For all he knows, Shane might already be dead. It's killing him not to know. He just wants this to end and get his brother and Mitchie out of that school and out here in one piece.

What's taking so long? Shouldn't the cops have made contact by now to everyone and tell them what the heck is going? He couldn't shake this feeling that someone was shot before. And he couldn't help but fear that it was Shane.

He looked over and he saw Jason looking at the school with a blank look on his face. "Jason!" he yelled out, causing Jason to look at him. He started to make his way over to where Jason is standing. He knows that he and Jason have to do something to help Shane, Mitchie, and the rest of the wildcat gang.

But what can they do? They're trapped out here while everyone else is in that school. It's just not fair. 'I should have done something. I should have went today' Nate thought to himself. He just doesn't find it fair how his brother is trapped in the school and he can't do anything about it cause he's trapped out here.

Nate pulled Jason down at bit so he could whisper something in his ear. "Let's go over by where the cops are and try to find something out. I just can't sit here anymore" Nate told his older brother.

"I'm with you man. Shane still owes me a bird house and I'm not going to let him forget that" Jason said, causing Nate to groan. Of course. All Jason can think about is that damn birdhouse when they're brother is being held hostage. What else is new?

"Will you forget about the damn birdhouse. Does the fact that our brother is being held hostage right now mean anything to you?" Nate demanded from Jason. He's really angry. How the heck can Jason be thinking about a birdhouse while their brother is being held hostage. He just doesn't know.

"Well I want a birdhouse" Jason said, causing Nate to bury his head in his hands. He wants his damn birdhouse. Shane promised that he build him a birdhouse and he never did. But that's nothing unusual. At least in Shane's case it isn't. he does this sort of thing all the time

Nate shook his head. How the heck Jason be so selfish? All he can think about is his freaking birdhouse when their brother is a hostage, along with Mitchie and all of their friends. "Forget the damn birdhouse Jason!" Nate yelled out, causing everyone to look at him

'Did I just say that out loud?' he thought to himself when realized that he actually yelled that. Now, he's embarrassed. All of the parents, teachers, and other students started to look at him, giving him weird looks. 'Oops' was he all he could think of.

"Umm, we're writing a new song called.. Uhh… 'Damn Birdhouse' listen for it on the radio. It should be coming out soon" he told all of them. Despite the weird looks he's getting from everyone, he still managed to give an embarrassed smile to everyone.

Everyone nodded before they all gave him a weird look and they turned around. Nate sighed. He could read everyone's face giving him a look that said "How the heck can you be thinking of new song while there are nine teenagers being held hostage? Seriously.

"Come on, let's go over by where the cops are listen to what the heck is going on. I have to know if someone got shot before when the gun went off" Nate told Jason when everyone turned back around before he grabbed Jason's arms and forced him along.

How come the cops aren't telling them anything? Shouldn't they at least let the parents know what is going on? Shouldn't they do something to try and contact the kid that's holding them all in that school? Shouldn't they do something instead of sitting on their high horse?

It's killing him since he doesn't know if Shane is still alive. For all he knows, all those kids could be dead and that made him angry. If Shane dies, the kid that's the reason why is going to pay. He'll make sure of that personally.

Nate and Jason hid in the bushes from where the cops are talking. They heard everything the cops were saying to each other. "That kid is definitely hiding something" they looked at each other when they heard that. That's never a good thing

They looked at each other, both of them thinking the same thing. What kid are they talking about? And what exactly is he hiding? "I definitely think one of those kids was hurt. The kid sounded like he was going to panic" the cops are talking amongst themselves, not noticing the two teenagers.

Nate's eyes went wide when he heard that. They suspect that someone was shot before when the gun went off. 'Please don't be Shane. Please don't be Shane or Mitchie.' he thought, pleading with god, hoping that Shane isn't hurt.

But, it's absolutely killing him not knowing if one of the hostages was hurt and there's nothing he can do about it cause he's stuck out here. He hates it.

"I think one of those hostages was hurt. The kid on the phone before-" Nate is angry now. They get contact inside the school and they don't tell anyone about it. That's not cool. "sounded like he was really panicked. I have a feeling before when the gun went off that one of those kids was shot" his eyes went wide with that.

Nate was going to go over to the cops and give them a piece of his mind when he felt a hand on his arms, holding him back. He turned to look at Jason. "Don't. you're not going to be helping Shane and everyone else by marching over there" Jason told him.

Ok, maybe Jason is right. He won't be helping Mitchie, Shane, and everyone else by yelling at the cops to do their job and get his brother out of the school. He just hates this. He hates that he's stuck out side, fearing that Shane might already be dead and there's nothing he can do about it.

Nate pulled his arm out of Jason's grip and he turned to look at him. "You're right. I just hate this" he told Jason truthfully. He's sure that Jason hates this situation just as much as he does.

"Come on. Let's go back to mom and dad" Jason said and tried to pull Nate along with him but Nate wouldn't move. Nate does tend to be really stubborn sometimes but he's really worried about Shane so Jason really can't blame him.

"I'm not going back. I'm staying right here" Nate told before he sank back down and watched the cops talk amongst themselves. They better do something and soon. Shane better be ok. All of them have to be ok. He couldn't stand it if he lost one of his friends. He just couldn't.

"Nate!" Jason warned him. He is so sure that all of the cops heard until he looked over and saw the cops still talking. It would be better to go back and let the cops do their job and negotiate to get everyone out of there. They need their space in order to do so. He can't let Nate bother them if it means saving their brother and their friends.

Nate turned around when he heard his name and looked at Jason. "Come on. We have to let them be. Do you want Shane back or not?" Jason questioned him. Jason does have a point. He won't be helping Shane or anyone else by getting in the way of this investigation. He did the only thing he could do and that's nod his head before he let Jason grab his arm and drag him away.

As he's being dragged away, the only thing he could manage to say was "Please be ok Shane".

Ryan came to when he heard someone give a blood curdling scream. It literally filled the whole school. Heck, he's pretty sure that everyone outside heard it. It was really loud. He could have sworn that scream belonged to Troy but he wasn't going to swear to it. He could have been wrong. For all he knows, the scream might have been a figment of his imagination.

He raised his foot to the door again, trying to kick the door as hard as he could manage but he only managed a soft tap on the door. He closed his eyes and squeezed them shut as the pain kept getting worse. He let a few tears fall down his face.

"Help me! Somebody!" he tried to yell only to have it come out as a shaky whisper. "Anybody!" he squeezed his eyes shut and cried in pain again "Please"

He has tried so hard to untie himself. He didn't even seem to care how much his back hurts at the moment. All he wants at the moment is to get the heck out of this closet and get some help. This is the worst,. Sitting in a closet, while in so much pain. This is the worst feeling in the world.

He struggled to untie himself with no luck whatsoever. It's just driving him nuts. That scream before scared him half to death. What else is he supposed to think? He just wanted to know if everything is ok. It frightened not to know if his sister or one of his friends is ok

Finally!

Ryan had never felt so happy in his life when he felt the ropes around his wrists loosen. He frantically tried to untie himself, groaning in pain when the pain continued to tear through his whole body. He doesn't even know how he managed to loosen the ropes but he's happy he did. Even though it hurt like hell, he wouldn't give up. He had just had to do something to get out of this closet.

Suddenly, his hands are free. He tried so hard to stand up but it to be difficult to do so. He brought his hand to the closet door and tried hard to turn the knob. He feels like he can't breathe as he tried to open the door.

As he tried to open the door, he fell of the chair and right on the ground. He cried in pain once he hit the floor. He looked up at the door and managed to get himself on his hand and knees. He tried to open the door but he found it to be really hard to do so.

Just then, Ryan looked when he heard the door swing open. He used the chair to slowly get on his feet. It's really hard though and he almost fell a couple of times. His body kept protesting with him as he tried to stand up but he wouldn't give up.

He couldn't believe how dizzy and weak he was. His body is literally shaking. He took a deep breathe and closed his eyes. He knows that the pain is going to get worse when he gets himself on his feet but he didn't care. He has to get out of the closet somehow.

Somehow, he managed to stand up. He put his against the door, trying to keep himself up as he limped out of the closet. His body wanted to fall over but he tried so hard to keep his body up. It's really hard though.

When he looked up, he realized that he was trapped in a closet in a room somewhere in the school. He slowly limped to the door.

"Somebody. Help me. Please" he pleaded. He just wants this pain to end so bad at the moment. He doesn't know how much more he can stand. It's very painful.

"Help me. Pleas-" he pleaded before his legs couldn't hold the weight of his body up any longer and he fell to the ground. He cried out in pain as his body hit the floor hard. That just made his whole body hurt more and he let a few tears fall down his cheeks. He just doesn't know how much pain he can handle.

Just then, he looked at the back wall of the classroom when he heard a familiar voice yell out. His eyes went wide when he saw Sharpay, as well as his really good friends, sitting against the back wall of the classroom.
