Chapter eleven

Previously...

Just then the door flew opened to reveal a pissed off Troy and a shocked Chad. The guy had been arguing with instantly tensed as he saw the two. He knew he wasn't going to make it out of here without a couple scratches.

"What the hell are you doing here?"

--

"Uh...hey guys. Long time no see huh?" Asked a nervious Jason Cross.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Troy repeated himself.

"I'm a...just visiting Sharpay, that's all."

"All I know is that you better get out of my sight before I put you in the hospital." Chad glared at Jason.

"Guys, come on. That was all in the past. Can't we forgive and forget?" Jason asked hopefully and nervously.

Chad and Troy both shook their heads. "No."

"Jason just go." Sharpay stepped in.

"Yeah...uh...bye." With that, a scared Jason was out the door...well more running out the door.

"What the hell was he doing here?" Asked a still fuming Troy.

Sharpay shrugged, not knowing herself. "I don't know."

"How could you even let that bastard in?" (A/N- I don't feel like explaining it all, so here's the history on Jason. He and Sharpay use to be together but he was an ass and hit her. That's when she started having her eating disorder.)

"I don't know Troy, okay. Could you lay off for like five seconds please?" Sharpay shook her head vigorously, loosing her patience.

"It's not my fault you went out with a complete ass like that." Troy scoffed.

"Troy, just let her cool off." Chad jumped in. "She's probably upset right now."

"You know what I don't get?" Sharpay perused, completely ignoring Chad's last comment. "How you can stand there and judge me for dating him when you're dating the she devil herself." Sharpay shot at Troy, who was quite taken a back.

"What?"

"You heard me. Did you know that Jessica actually told Chad to lay off and threatened him?" Sharpay practically yelled as she motioned to Chad, who was standing in the corner trying to avoid all of this.

Troy just looked at Sharpay like she was crazy. "What are you talking about?"

Sharpay pointed to Chad. "Ask him."

"What is she talking about?"

Chad sighed. "Jessica kind of..Warned me to back off of you and her. Let's just say it wasn't put in a pleasant way."

Troy stared at him in disbelief. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"Because..I don't know. You liked her and the last time I tried to talk to you about it you blew up at me."

"Well...is that all she did?"

Sharpay took a deep breath as her stomach became very uneasy. "No...She uh..She came to see me the other day."

Troy turned back to Sharpay, still with disbelief. "What happened then?"

"She told me to back off and not to talk to you. I told her I wouldn't and she threatened to tell you my secret." Sharpay closed her eyes, knowing that Chad and Troy were giving her looks right now.

"What do you mean? If you have a secret then we should already know it, so what's the big deal?" Chad asked, obviously a little confused considering they usually told each other everything.

Sharpay took another deep breath. "There's one thing I never told you guys. Unfortunately it was the one thing I never wanted anyone to know about and now Jessica does."

"W-what is it?" Asked a shell shocked Troy. Sharpay was now on the verge of tears, and he knew it couldn't be good.

"IusedtohaveaneatingdisorderafterIbrokeupwithJasonandI'msorryInevertoldyouguys." Sharpay said quickly, taking no time for breathes.

"What?" Chad and Troy asked together.

"I use to have an eating disorder after I broke up with Jason, and I'm sorry I never told you guy." Sharpay sighed. She was happy it was off her shoulder, but also sad. It was a bad memory.

Chad and Troy stood there motionless, not even blinking. How couldn't they have noticed their best friend having an eating disorder? How long did she have it? Did she still have it? All these questions and more kept running through the two boy's heads.

"How...how...what?" Chad asked, completely flustered.

"I'm really sorry guys. I was going through a rough time, and for some reason I didn't tell you. The only one who knew was Ryan."

Suddenly Troy's shock turned into anger. "Sharpay how the hell could you do that to yourself? And why didn't you tell us? You know you could have killed yourself." Troy yelled as he grabbed onto her arm, but much more gentle than he was speaking to her.

Sharpay yanked her arm away, also over come with anger. "So what? What should you care? Why don't you just go back to your little psycho girlfriend? The bitch is probably wondering where you are."

"Sharpay I don't give a damn about Jessica. I never did. What I care about is you and the fact that you never told me something so major, or that you didn't trust me enough to tell me."

"I was scared okay. I was scared how you guys would react. It wasn't exactly my shining moment. Why do you care so much anyways?"

"Maybe because you're my best friend. I should be allowed to care about you."

"Well you know what? Stop! Stop caring, stop worrying, stop trying to be the God damned hero for once in your life."

"Have you ever wondered why I care so much? Why I worry so much? Why I try to be the hero. It's because I love you Sharpay. I love you, that's why I do it, and that's why I won't stop doing it." Troy yelled, before he knew what all he was confessing. When he realized, his face of shock matched Sharpay's. Both were too shocked to say anything...so Chad spoke.

"Well, while we're all confessing something here...I'm gay."

Shocker, isn't it? Anyways, this is my last chapter, but there will be an epilogue. So only one more chapter to this and it's over...sad, I know. Well you can pretty much guess who Sharpay will end up with...but you never know ; ) I could easily change my mind and turn Chad straight again...I'm the writer so I can do that. Anyways, just so you know, Troy was winning by 6 votes on who Sharpay should be with. Well, it would mean sooo much if you reviewed! You know, I practically live off those. They make me happy and tell me what I'm doing right and what I'm doing wrong. So please please review...for me? puppy dog eyes

-Peace!
