Hey guys!

Here comes a tear jerker!

I had alot of feedback from the last chapter, and most of you didn't want Zeke to die. I took this into consideration, despite my reservations and had my a 10 pence coin decide! (I can't find my lucky pound coin:( cries)

So, please don't blame me, when you read this chapter. And trust me when i say, you'll need tissues. It had me in tears just writing it.

Last Time:

Sharpay's cellphone began ringing, "Excuse me guys," She turned her back on them all and answered the phone. The gang was about to go back to arguing when they saw Sharpay fall to the floor and collapse crying.

"Shar? What is it? What's wrong?" Troy asked her as he slid down onto the floor beside her.

"I-i-" She sobbed harder.

"SHARPAY! TELL US!" Taylor shook Sharpay harshly and demanded for her to tell them as they gathered around her.

"It's Zeke, He's-"

"What? He's what?" Troy asked quickly, panicking. Sharpay just sobbed, "Shar, please, you have to tell us," Troy begged.

"We have to get to the hospital, Troy," She said through tears.

"Why? Shar, what's happened to Zeke?" He asked again.

"It's awful, it's horrible. Please just ring Kelsi and tell her to bring Savannah to Sacred Heart! We have to go!" She got up and cried some more, pulling her friends along with her, "It can't be happening, not now," She sobbed as Troy led her to his car.

"What, Shar? What can't be happening?" Gabriella asked.

"It's too early, he's too young. What about Savannah?" She mumbled incoherantly.

Taylor had had enough, she walked in front of Sharpay before they reached the car, and shook her again, "Tell us! You have to tell us what happened!"

"Taylor, you're hurting me!" Sharpay yelled.

"Tell us!" Taylor repeated.

"Please let go," Sharpay begged as Taylor continued to shake her.

"Taylor! Let go of her! You're hurting her," Chad shouted before prysing Taylor's hands from Sharpay's wrists, "She's pregnant, Tay, you can't do that to her," He added.

"You're pregnant?" Taylor asked in complete shock.

"Never mind that! We have to go! Zeke's, he-" She cut herself off and sobbed again.

"Why won't you tell us?" Taylor demanded.

"Leave her alone, Tay. She's obviously distraught. Everyone just get into their respective cars and get to the hospital. Haylie and Calum, you take my car. Tay, you and Chad go in his car. Jason, you come with Troy, Sharpay and I in Troy's car. Let's go people!" Gabriella ordered before throwing her car keys to Haylie.

Everyone obeyed and jumped into their cars. As Troy drove, Gabriella and Jason comforted the sobbing Sharpay, "You know, Taylor's right, you have to tell us what's going on, Shar, or we'll worry even more," Troy told her as he sped up.

"I can't. It's too DAMN hard!" Sharpay snapped.

"Shar, if you don't tell us, how are we supposed to know what to expect?" Jason asked her, softly.

"Please don't make me," Sharpay begged.

"Please, Sharpay. For Zeke," Gabriella asked her gently.

"Oh Gabs, it's horrible. He's been in a car accident. His brain is haemorraging and they say he's barely alive," Sharpay broke down in floods of tears and held onto her stomach for dear life.

"Jason, ring Kelsi. Tell her to get to Sacred Heart Memorial with the kids. I'll let the other's know," Gabriella said, referring to the cars following them to the hospital. Jason rang Kelsi and Gabriella rang Taylor's cellphone. Once she was done with that, she rang Haylie's cell phone and repeated everything.

"Kelsi, says she'll be there as soon as possible, but someone will need to wait for her in the parking lot to help with all the kids," Jason informed Gabriella as he flipped his cell phone shut.

"Right, thanks, J. I'll get Calum and Haylie to do that," Gabriella said as they pulled up in the hospital parking lot. They all climbed out of the car and met up with the others at the entrance, "Cal, Hayls, can you stay out here and wait for Kelsi? She needs help with the kids. Everybody else, come on,"

They all walked into the ER and Sharpay walked up to the front desk, "My name is Sharpay, I'm here to see Zeke Baylor. He's my husband, i got a call about twenty minutes ago," Sharpay informed the receptionist, as bravely as she could.

"Right okay. Gerard, come here," The receptionist waved over a male nurse, "This is Sharpay Baylor. Take her up to see Zeke Baylor's Doctor,"

The man nodded and motioned for Sharpay and the gang to follow him. They all went to the second floor and turned off into the ICU ward.

"ICU?" Chad asked as they walked past the sign.

"Intensive Care Unit. Calum was in here," Taylor replied.

"I'm not a Doctor, but that's bad right?" He questioned.

"Extremely." Taylor nodded.

"Doctor Green, this is Sharpay Baylor and her friends," Gerard introduced them before walking away.

"Hello Mrs Baylor. My name is Doctor Green, i'm Zeke's physician," He said solemnly.

"What's going on? Is my Husband okay?" Sharpay demanded.

"Zeke's in a very bad state. We had to operate to stop the haemorraging on his brain, that was before we called you. He's in recovery now, but it's not looking very good," The Doctor informed her.

"NO! You listen to me! He can't die! You had better do everything that you can for him, or so help me, i will sue you! Not this hospital! YOU!" Sharpay yelled.

"Sharpay," Gabriella hissed.

"NO GABRIELLA! Zeke is DYING! Don't any of you understand that?" Sharpay cried.

"Please Mrs Baylor. We've done all we can for him, all we can do now is hope and wait," The Doctor said regrettably.

"What are his chances?" Sharpay asked him through gritted teeth.

"His chances are very slim. Twenty five percent at the most," The Doctor said sadly.

"Can i see him?" She asked quickly.

"Go ahead, all of you," The Doctor said without hesitation, "I'm in the Office if you need anything," The doctor pointed to two rooms. One was the office, the other was Zeke's room.

"Why would you let all of us go in?" Sharpay asked suspiciously.

"Sharpay please, lets just go and see him," Troy begged of her.

"No! I want to know why!" She demanded.

Chad gave Taylor a confused look, "Chad, they usually allow everyone to go in when they think someone's dying," She whispered an explanation to him.

"Oh. Poor Shar," Chad said sadly.

"Yeah." Taylor agreed as her own tears fell down her face.

"Please Mrs Baylor, i know how you are feeling, but this is a hospital," The Doctor practically begged Sharpay to calm down.

"Don't tell me you know how i'm feeling! YOU DON'T KNOW!" Sharpay exploded.

"SHARPAY! That's enough!" Gabriella scolded her and pulled her away from the Doctor, "Listen to me, Shar! You have to stop this! Zeke is in that room in terrible shape and you are out here arguing with a Doctor! Zeke needs you!" By this time, Gabriella, Taylor and Sharpay were all crying harshly, and the boys were finding it hard to hold back tears too.

"You're right," She sighed dejectedly.

"I'm really sorry, Doctor," Troy aplogised on behalf of Sharpay's behaviour.

"DON'T APOLOGISE FOR ME!" Sharpay shouted at Troy before making her way into Zeke's room.

"Thank you Doctor," Troy said quickly before following Gabriella and Sharpay.

Sharpay took one look at Zeke and ran over to his bed, crying hard, "Oh Zeke! I'm so sorry!" She wept.

Troy and Gabriella watched on, closely followed by the entrance of Taylor, Jason and Chad. They all stopped still and cried too. For Zeke. He was laying there, looking extremely pale and deathly looking. The guys couldn't hold back anymore, the tears poured down their faces. They all gathered around his bed and Troy and Gabriella hugged the sobbing Sharpay from behind.

"Zeke, i love you. Please fight this, please! I'm begging you, baby! Stay here with me and Savannah. I'm so sorry," Sharpay sobbed into Zeke's still hand.

Kelsi entered the room, not long after with Savannah asleep in her arms, "Sharpay?" She asked uncertainly.

"Kels?" Sharpay looked up and noticed her sleeping baby. She immediately stood up and took Savannah from Kelsi's arms, "Oh 'Vannah! My baby girl. Mommy's never leaving you again," She cried, "Mommy and Daddy are going to be okay. I promise,"

"Shar?" Troy asked.

Sharpay turned around and noticed Zeke's weak body moving. She gently handed Savannah back to Kelsi and rushed to Zeke's side, "Zeke?" She asked him as more tears fell down her face.

"Sharpay?" He asked her weakly as his eyes opened softly.

Sharpay wrapped her arms around him and hugged him tightly, "Oh, i'm so sorry, Zeke! Baby, please forgive me, i love you so much! I didn't realise until now, how much i love you. Please don't ever leave me," She begged him.

"Sharpay, i love you too," Zeke croaked out.

"I love you, i love you, i love you, Zeke Baylor!" Sharpay exclaimed happily, "And you're going to be a father again," She told him with a huge smile.

"I-what?" He asked her.

"I'm pregnant, Zeke. With your baby," She told him with a huge smile.

"I can't believe it," He chuckled softly and she kissed him gently.

"Are we going to be okay?" Sharpay asked him suddenly.

"As long as-" Zeke cut off as he felt a huge pain in his head.

"ZEKE?! Are you okay?" Sharpay demanded to know.

"Should we get the Doctor?" Troy asked him.

"I'm fine guys, i just- aagh!" He screamed in pain, clutching his head.

"SOMEONE GET A DOCTOR!" Sharpay yelled as Zeke writhed around in pain.

"I'll do it!" Kelsi said from by the door, as she raced out of the room with Savannah still in her arms.

"Zeke, no, not now! Don't you dare die on me!" Sharpay demanded as the tears flew once again down her face, whilst she watched Zeke's pain stricken face.

"I love you Shar. And 'Vannah. Tell her," He choked out.

"YOU CAN TELL HER YOURSELF! You're going to be okay!" Sharpay told him as Troy restrained her.

"Shar, please," Troy begged her.

"Let me go Troy! I need him!" She sobbed, "Please let me go to him! I LOVE HIM! I do!" Zeke tried to focus on the Sharpay but he drifted out of conciousness and his heart rate dropped suddenly. The machine's began to beep like mad, "I love you, i'm so sorry! Please don't leave us!"

"Shar! The Doctor's need room," He told her firmly as three doctors and two nurses flooded into the room.

"Zeke!" She yelled, "Please!" Sharpay struggled against Troy's grip. She sobbed as the others watched on sadly. Gabriella sobbed into Troy's arm and Taylor was held by Chad. Kelsi came back in without Savannah and was being held comfortingly by Jason, "Don't! Please Zeke! We need you!" Sharpay continued to cry.

"Come on Zeke, breathe," The Doctor begged Zeke as the resucitation team started work. The Doctor was unsuccessfully doing mouth to mouth, "We need the crash cart in here!" The Doctor yelled out, "ABBY! CRASH CART NOW!" He ordered.

"Right away Sir," She obeyed before leaving the room. She re-appeared not long after with the crash cart.

"Two hundred Joules," The Doctor ordered.

"Charging," The nurse informed him as he rubbed the gel onto two paddles. Another nurse had opened Zeke's shirt and left the skin area clear for the Doctor,"Clear!" The Nurse added.

The Doctor pressed the paddles down onto Zeke's chest. His body rose from the shock. The Doctor looked at the screen and shook his head, "Again, two hundred Joules!"

"Recharging," The Nurse looked at the screen and nodded, "Clear!"

The Doctor again pressed the paddles down, and Zeke's body once more rose from the shock, and he once again didn't respond, "One more time, Three hundred Joules,"

"Come on, Zeke," Troy begged him.

"Rising to to three hundred Joules. Charging," The nurse waited, "Clear!"

The Doctor pressed the paddles down one final time onto Zeke's chest, his body jumped, and the line on the screen remained flat. The long, monotone beep continued and the Doctor sighed in defeat, "Call it,"

"Time of Death, 11.20pm," The Nurse reluctantly said.

The whole gang burst out in tears and Sharpay fell to the floor, "No!" She screamed as she cried into Troy's chest who had knelt down to her level, "No!" She repeated.

I'm really sorry! But i just had to do it! The coin told me to do it, and i had already decided to kill him off anyway! I have my reasons.

1) I don't have any real use for him anymore.

2) I needed Drama.

3) It was either him or Troy- which would you prefer?

Plus, i'd already let one character get a reprieve that i had planned to die, i couldn't do that with all three. (Troy, Calum and Zeke)

Please review and let me know how i did with this scene. It was extremely difficult and i almost backed out of it, but i had to be strong and stand by my first decision.
