Her eyelids started to move very slowly, blinking without ever opening all the way, until she finally just opened her eyes completely. Anna and Troy looked at her. She blinked a few times before focusing her eyes on the two people hovering over her.
"A-Anna? T-Troy?"
"A-Anna? T-Troy? What happened? Where am I?" Sharpay asked as she looked around the unfamiliar room. She turned her eyes back to Troy and saw him looking at her with pure joy and relief.
"You're in the hospital, Sharpay. You've been in the hospital for two weeks." Troy said.
"Two weeks?"
"Yea."
"What happened?"
"Thats what I'm wondering. Do you remember what happened?" Before Sharpay could answer Ryan walked into the room and saw Sharpay awake. He rushed to her other side and grabbed her hand.
"Sharpay! You're awake!" Ryan cried in pure joy. He bent over and hugged her. Troy took the chance to go get the doctor. "Oh my. Thank God, I am so happy!"
"I'm happy to see you too Ry." She smiled as he smiled at her.
The doctor and Troy walked back into the room.
"It seems that you are awake, Ms. Evans. You are a very lucky woman, as I told your friends here." The doctor said and walked deeper into the room. He looked at the machines. "Everything seems to be right here. I'll be back later to talk to you about a few things." The doctor nodded and left the room.
"Sharpay, how do you feel?" Anna asked putting a hand on her leg.
"I feel okay. Its just so weird. I feel as if I've been sleep rather then unconscious. I could hear everything around me, but I couldn't do anything. I'm just so glad to be awake."
"I'm glad you're awake too." Troy smiled down at Sharpay.
Everyone stayed and talked for a little while until Anna decided it was time she go check in with Edward and left. A little while later Ryan decided to go home and go to bed, leaving Sharpay and Troy alone together.
Troy called his mother first, telling her he would be spending the night at Ryan's house again and she was ok with it. After he go off the phone he went back over and sat on the bed next to Sharpay. He grabbed her hand.
"I'm so glad you're awake." He smiled and ran a hand through her hair. "I missed you so much and I was so scared. I thought I was going to seriously lose you and I was scared." He stroked her cheek.
"I missed you too and you didn't lose me. I'm here with you." She put her hand over his hand and leaned into his touch. "I love you."
"I love you too." He bent over and kissed her lightly. "So Sharpay, do you remember what happened that day?"
"Um...I think so."
"Do you think you can tell me what happened."
"I think I can manage." She looked up at him. "Do you really want to hear it? Its really terrifying."
"Of course. I want to know what happened." Troy said.
"Ok, well, I was in my room right? Just laying in my bed when...
Flashback
Sharpay laid on her bed and signed. She had just spoken to Ryan and had straightened everything out. They had hugged and he had asked he why their dad had done that to her. Of course she had to lie about a few things to make it seem better then it actually was. Like she had told him that it had been the first time he had ever done it.
So now he was gone to school and she was lying on her bed figuring out what to do today. She wasn't going to school because she was too sore to go. Her father wasn't lying when he said it was going to be the beating of a life time. Every part of her body hurt like hell and when she had looked in the mirror earlier, she didn't look good. He lip was split open, she had purple and red spots all over her body, red hand prints everywhere, one black eye, a few cuts from where he had gotten his nails in her. Her womanhood also hurt. He had pounded into her so hard into her last night. Harder then ever had. She had screamed out in pain so many times last night. She tried to ignore the pain that was going through her body each time she moved, but couldn't.
She had finally got a comfortable position on her right side facing the door when her father came into the room. He looked pissed again. She got up from her laying position and onto her knees. She could see the fire in his drunk eyes, but couldn't think of a reason he would be mad at her. She hadn't done anything since last night.
He started towards her and roughly grabbed her hair and pulled her off the bed. Wordlessly he started to beat her and she started to cry in pain. She could tell he was heavily drunk, a lot more then usual. She some how managed to get out his grip and run to the bathroom. He followed and grabbed her from behind. This time, instead of beating her, her wrapped his hands around her neck, put her on her bathroom sink, and started to choke her.
Make-up, hair products,and bathroom stuff fell to the floor as she started to gag for air and struggle against his hands. He, getting tired of the resistance, took his hands, pulled her close, then with a lot of force, smashed her head into the mirror.
The mirror shattered around her, cutting her everywhere. She could feel blood ooze from the back of her head and she fought to keep conscious.
She pulled back her legs and kicked him hard in the gut. He stumbled back into the shower curtain, but quickly gained composure.
She had gotten off the counter with major difficulty. She was majorly dizzy and the world tilted and swirled as she tried to leave the bathroom.
She screamed when her father grabbed her from behind and pulled her back into the bathroom.
"Time to end this once in for all." He reaches in his back pocket and pull out a knife.
Sharpay sees the knife and tears gathered in her eyes. "Please," She says through her dizzy state. "Please Daddy. Don't. Don't kill me. I'll do anything. I won't resist anymore, I'll let you do anything to me. I'll be good. I'll behave. Just please don't kill me."
"Too late." He said this and then shoved the knife into her back.
She screamed in pain as the sharp object pierced her. The tears flooded over and her world got even more dizzy. He took the knife out of her and threw her against the wall. Her back hit the wall with a sharp crack noise and she slid slowly down the wall. The world spun even more and the next thing she knew everything was getting darker. The last thing she saw was her father walk out the bathroom.
"Bitch." Was the last thing she heard before the bathroom, the world, everything, went black.
End of Flashback
"And thats what happened." Sharpay said.
"Oh my god." Troy starred at her in complete horror. He couldn't believe that someone could have done something like that to her. It was just so terrible. "That is horrible."
"I know, but I'm so happy you're here with me."
"Me too." He couldn't believe she had survived all that and still be here with him. "I'm so happy you're ok." Just then the doctor walked back into the room.
"Miss Evans, would this be a good time discuss somethings with you?"
"Yes sir."
"Mr. Bolton, are you staying through out this discussion?"
"Yes sir."
"Ok then." The doctor signed and opened the folder he was holding. "We had just gotten most of the test work back today for you, and they brought up a lot of things. First off, you'll be healthy enough to go home in a couple of days."
Troy smiled. "Thats great!"
"Now some of the more important of things. Miss Evans, when we got your blood work back this morning there appeared to be a huge amount of cocaine in your system."
"Cocaine?" Troy asked, wide eyed and looked at Sharpay. Sharpay couldn't look back at him so she stared at the doctor.
"Then, I'm sorry to be the one who tells you this, but you lost your baby."
"My baby? What baby? I wasn't pregnant!"
"According to the data in here you were...12 weeks pregnant."
"How is that possible? I had an abortion no more then a week ago!"
"Well, sometimes abortions fail. They don't work. It happens quite often. The doctor must have done it wrong because you were still pregnant when they brought you in. I'll give you any other news if theres anymore." The doctor left.
"I was still pregnant. I was still carrying my baby." Sharpay said shocked. "Interesting."
"Yes, very." Troy agreed. "Now would you like to explain the cocaine thing?" Troy asked and looked at her seriously. "What the hell were you doing taking drugs?"
