Summary: Twenty-five year old Chemistry teacher, Gabriella Montez becomes the target of the girl every guy in East High knows inside and out, seventeen year old Sharpay Evans.
Chapter 11: Can't or Won't
There was no doubt that life was getting harder and much more complicated for Gabriella. She knew that she couldn't stay with Sharpay, that can't happen, but at the same time the "fantasies" started coming back. The ones that described what she wanted her to do and what she did back to her. They did happen; all of her fantasies have happened with that girl, everything she's ever imagined she got it. Maybe these thoughts were coming back because she perhaps missed her?
No, no Gabriella you can't think that, she thought running her hand through her hair as she sat at her desk in school. She stared at the computer screen at a picture that she took a few weeks ago; she smiled as the memory suddenly flowed back in her mind.
Gabriella was sleeping peacefully in her comfortable bed, wrapped in her blanket after a night of lovemaking with her girlfriend. She turned over placing her hand on her side, but realized no one was next to her, so she raised her head up searching for her blonde beauty through her mop. Suddenly out of nowhere Sharpay ran in with a camera with a big smile plastered across her face.
"Noooo," Gabriella whined, throwing the blanket over her head to hide her face from it. Sharpay giggled then jumped on top of the bed, crawling on top of Gabriella.
"Aw c'mon Gabs, it is just a camera," she said still looking at the screen. She heard her mumble something, "I'm sorry I didn't quite get that," she said lowering her head down to the brunette's head, who just flipped a piece of the blanket off her mouth.
"I look like shit. Turn it off," she said flipping the piece of the blanket back over her head, making the blonde laugh. Sharpay slid off her body down to her side, so she laid next to her.
"Gabs…Gabi," she purred as she turned the camera off and placed it on the night table. She pulled part of the blanket off of her head to come face to face with Gabriella's mop of hair. She pushed it away then lowered her mouth down to the brunette's ear and began to nibble on it, making Gabriella squirm "Gabby baby," she whispered into her ear.
When Gabriella felt Sharpay's hot breath on her ear she almost shrieked, but she held it in with much struggle. She heard her whisper again, then with one flick of her tongue, Gabriella shrieked loudly rolling over to pull Sharpay on top of her as the blonde giggled hysterically.
"I knew I could do it," she chanted to the brunette below her, as she just moved her head mocking her. "Hey shut up," she said, swatting Gabriella on the chest, making her giggled underneath her.
"What I can't have fun torturing you, but you can have fun torturing me?" she asked, causing Sharpay to stare up for a second like she was thinking, then looked back down and nodded.
"Exactly," as she narrowed her eyes at her. Gabriella flipped over the blonde so she was on top of her now, then shook her head. "What?" Sharpay asked all innocently.
"Oh so now you're innocent?"
"Uh huh…you see my little halo? I'm the angel of your dreams and desires," she said making an oval shape with her fingers over her head.
"Oh trust me you're far from innocent," she said setting herself down next to Sharpay.
"And don't you forget it," she replied with a smile, then almost instantly her smile transformed into a serious face "You know this is the first time in my life that I feel happy. Like every time I'm with you I feel- on top of the world I guess,"
Gabriella has never heard Sharpay talk like that, but it felt good to hear that she had that effect on her, so she reached over Sharpay for the camera and turned it on. She scooted over to the blonde and handed it to her, then wrapped her arms around her small waist and looked at the camera.
"Think of it as a morning after picture," she told her as Sharpay smiled warmly at her then leaned in and kissed her deeply, snapping the photo.
Gabriella snapped out of the memory when the bell sounded for her class to come in; the class that she was in. She looked at it a little while longer, than closed it just as the first student walked into the classroom. She didn't feel like being there, not after what happened that weekend. After Friday she couldn't stop thinking about Sharpay and her being passed out. It broke her heart into a million pieces.
Gabriella woke up at around ten in the morning, with a note on her night table. Once she got the sleep out of her eyes, she picked it up and began to read it…
Dear, Gabriella
There is no doubt in my mind that I hurt you last night. I know I did a stupid thing for drinking that much. I know I could have died, but I'm still here. There must be a reason that I was meant to still be here. I love you and that's never going to change. You make me want to be different and I know I stole that from A Walk to Remember, but it is true. I feel like the guy and you're like Mandy Moore's character. I was going nowhere fast, you know with sleeping with all these other people and you being the nerdy student, but in this case teacher.
You had to know that the nerd and the messed up kid would end up together, right? It seems pretty predictable. Anyway, what I'm getting at is I'm not perfect and I don't expect you to be either, but I want to let you know how much you truly mean to me. It's hard to believe, but you are the love of my life and that probably won't ever change. Anyway, I left that's why I wrote this letter instead of telling you all of this. If you want me to stop, then just say it until then I'm not going to stop fighting for you. I'm not that kind of person.
Love Always, Sharpay
She watched the blonde file into the classroom and sit right in front like she always did everyday. Today was different for both of them and Gabriella could tell instantly that Sharpay was really upset; through her eyes she could tell. Even if she tried forcing a smile, it still wouldn't matter. Gabriella gulped as the bell sounded, she looked down briefly.
"Okay today we're…" she suddenly stopped short. She couldn't speak. Why can't I talk? Why are these emotions happening now? God damn it! Not now, not now, she thought as she felt tears fall gracefully down her cheeks. She began trying to wipe them away forcefully. "Excuse me," she mumbled as she walked out quickly, confusing her whole class.
Kelsi looked at Sharpay and just gave her a look "Don't go," she whispered to the blonde, who just sighed heavily.
"I have to Kels," she replied back as she walked out after her.
Sharpay searched through all the bathrooms in the hall to look for Gabriella or at least hear sobs, something that triggered that she was in there. She looked under some of the stalls, kicked some in and even looked around the walls, but nothing. Sharpay just continued to walk the halls to search for her, than suddenly she heard the sobs she's been waiting to find, in the auditorium. She forced the door opened quietly to see her in the front, sitting crossed legged.
Gabriella wiped her nose as the tears still poured from her eyes, when Sharpay sat down next to her.
"Get away from me," she simply said to the blonde. That hit Sharpay hard, but she crossed her arms and shook her head.
"No," she simply replied, making the brunette to look at her with her red puffy eyes.
"Sharpay this is your fault," she fired at her, getting up and pointing at the blonde, who got right back up at her.
"No it's as much your fault as it is mine! Don't throw all the blame on me okay! I apologized for something I didn't even want! I don't know what more you want from me! I'm trying so God damn hard and it seems like nothing I do is good enough!" Sharpay yelled as tears stung the brim of her eyes.
"Sharpay its wrong," she whispered, looking down.
"You weren't saying that before. Why are you suddenly changing your feelings for me? Is it because of what happened on Friday?" she asked as her voice cracked.
"No, no I just…God I don't know alright," she replied in frustration. Sharpay took a step towards her
"What do you want? Or do you not know what you want?" she challenged her, causing Gabriella to look up at her.
"You're seriously gonna ask me that?" she asked. Sharpay nodded "I know what I want, but it's about the fact that I can't have it,"
"Can't or won't?" Sharpay replied, walking off as the bell sounded the end of second period...
"What's been going on with you?" Taylor asked walking with Gabriella through the park, with Taylor and Zeke's four year old son. Gabriella sighed as she stuffed her hands in her pocket and shrugged.
"Nowhere…around I guess; at home," she said shuffling her feet, causing Taylor stop and look at her friend.
"Mommy can I go play?" Jake, Taylor's son asked pointing to the play ground, she nodded and he ran off as they sat down on the bench in front of it.
"Okay what the hell is going on with you?" Taylor demanded. Gabriella shook her head, looking down as the tears formed in her eyes. Taylor reached out and pulled Gabriella into her as a form of calming her down.
"Taylor I love her. I love her so much that it hurts. I know you told me not to do anything, but I couldn't help it; she's just so beautiful, sexy and amazing. She makes me feel amazing," Gabriella cried into her friend's shirt, holding her tightly. Taylor rocked her back and forth and blinked a few times.
"Well I can't stop you Gabs. If she makes you that happy, then do something about it. Go after her, I'm not stopping you," she finally said to her, causing Gabriella to rise up her head.
"Wait? What happened to you when you told her to stay away from me two days ago?" she asked.
After the auditorium incident, Gabriella called the one person she needed right now; her best friend Taylor. Of course she knew Taylor was furious at them both; that is, Sharpay and her, but she hoped it wasn't going to be too brutal. Taylor ran into the school to find her upset friend in her classroom crying hysterically at her desk.
"Where the hell is she?" the dark girl asked her friend as anger filled her voice.
"No Taylor, don't do anything, please," she begged, but her friend was out the door already causing her to get up and run after her in the crowded hallway. She ran after her dark friend as fast as she could and when she finally caught up to her, she saw her walking towards the blonde and her friend, who were talking at her locker before their next class.
"Are you Sharpay Evans?" she asked her, finally getting up to her.
"Yeah," she replied as Taylor took a step towards her, pointing her finger at her.
"Stay the hell away from my friend, do you understand? She doesn't need you to be up her ass okay. Leave her the fuck alone!" Taylor fired towards the blonde then stormed off away from her leaving her shocked. She averted her eyes to the brunette, whose mouth was slightly opened in shock. Sharpay shook her head and started to walk towards her, but Gabriella shook her head that was a form of telling her no, causing the blonde to stop in her tracks as she watched the older woman walk off down the hallway…
"Well let's just say I didn't know you loved her that much. Trust me girl, if I knew I wouldn't have done it," she said running her hand over her friend's hair. Gabriella closed her eyes and immediately she thought of Sharpay doing that.
"Oh god Taylor, I can't stop thinking about her," she sighed opening her eyes.
"Then fix it," she whispered to her, letting Gabriella nod slowly, thinking of what she could do to fix it.
Sharpay was standing at her locker when Kelsi came running up to her with Jason in hand. "Shar? Shar? There's a talent show next Friday. You should totally enter, I mean at The Hot Spot you did awesome, just write new lyrics and we can totally do it," Kelsi explained to her excitedly.
"If the prize is Gabriella, then I'm entering. If it isn't, then no sorry," she mumbled getting back to finding her book.
"Maybe you can write a song for her; she is one of the judges, at least it says so," Jason explained to her, causing Kelsi to nod. She looked at the two couple and sighed.
"I don't know guys," she replied as they continued to look at her, waiting for her to change her mind. "Okay, okay fine! I have some lyrics anyways, so we'll try them out," she told them, making them hug her.
"You know Jason can help too, if we can get Ryan to do the drums again, me piano and Jason can do the electric guitar; he plays a mean Fender," Kelsi explained for Jason. "I heard him, he's awesome,"
"What do I play?" Sharpay asked.
"Well I was thinking it'd be more effective if we just played and you sang this time," Kelsi said, as Sharpay nodded slowly, thinking about her lyrics. She always pictured it that she was singing and playing her guitar, but as she thought about it more, she realized maybe it was better that she doesn't this time; Kelsi is right there is a better effect if she didn't.
"Alright, I won't play, but at least make me look good, please Jay," she said, making them laugh and hug her.
"We'll get her to be yours again, rest assure Blondie," Jason said, wrapping his arm around her shoulder as Kelsi did the same on her other side, as they walked out of the school together…
I keep forgetting to tell you all that I made a trailer for this story, so I'm going to tell you now, before I forget. Just type in E X T R A H E L P Trailer and you will find it. I tried really hard on it to make it look like Gabriella was really older then Sharpay, so I had to find a woman that was older and I thought I did okay.
So anyway, here's the review replies:

Stacy- Thank you and I would love to see them get back together, of course I do have that power, but at the same time, it's my choice to make the better story, so them together for the whole story would not have made the best story, sure it would have made everyone happy, but a good story…not so much. But again thank you for the review and we'll see what happens next chapter.

deatheater2493Well thank you for taking the time to read it and I'm glad that you think it's hot, but yeah this chapter was meant to get deeper into their character because some people forget that relationships are not always perfect and sometimes things get in the way, but also you have to fight for that relationship if you really need to. But thank you for reviewing, I really appreciate it.
X Iris X- Okay really I don't need to thank you for this review cause I kinda asked you to, but thank you for bumping me to 160. Love you Jenna! :)
I'm not updating for awhile because I'm going to New Hampshire, but I will probably think about what I'm going to write while I'm there and even now I have a pretty good idea. BTW I had fun making this story, so I'm wondering if you're willing to read a sequel, let me know. Thank you for the reviews and I hope you all continue to read it...
