Chapter 16 (Sharpays POV)

Beep, beep, beep....

All I could hear was a beeping sound, it was faint but still loud enough to become annoying. It didn't show any signs of stopping, it was becoming louder and clearer. The sound was bringing me out of my dream like state and things were becoming hard again, noises were becoming sharper.

I was waking up.

I slowly opened my eyes and was blinded by white, I shut my again and re-opened them. My vision cleared and I saw white walls all around me, machines making beeping sounds.

I was lying in a hospital bed.

It was then the pain started to settle in, my head was still throbbing, not as bad, but it still hurt. I could feel my face busied from all the hits I'd taken and my ankle felt swollen.

I turned my head to the side, no one was there, not even Tr...

OMG Troy!!

I swung my legs over the sides of the bed and stood up, I swayed abit but stayed standing. I then noticed I had a few tubes stuck onto my wrists, I pulled them out. It stung but I ignored it, I had to find Troy, I had to know if he was...

He had to be.

I walked to the door and opened it, I saw a long corridor of people sitting, pacing, working. I paid them no mind, I went straight towards the desk, to were a women in her early twenties was sitting.

"Excuse me...Can you tell me where Troy Bolton's room is please?!"

I waited as she typed away on her keyboard, until she finally looked back up

"I'm sorry but Mr Bolton is in surgery at the moment, he wont be out for another hour at least."

"Surgery?! Is he ok?!" My head started to feel light again

"I'm sorry but you will have to wait for a doctor to come out and see you"

"But I..."

"I'm sorry miss but that's the best I can suggest"

I turned away in defeat, I looked around me, there was no one I knew, no one. I felt so alone.

God Troy please don't leave me, I need you, please...

I walked over to some chairs and sat down and put my head in my hands. I couldn't go back to my room, I had to be here, waiting for a doctor.

I heard the doors opening and people rushing in, it wasn't until I heard their voices that I knew who they were, I looked up at saw Troy's parents running up to the front desk and asking for him.

Lisa looked over and saw me. They both rushed over to me instead.

"Oh Sharpay! Are you ok?"

I nodded slowly "Troy's in surgery..."

Lisa pulled me into a hug "I know sweetie, the doctors told us over the phone, they told us he had been shot"

I pulled away "He..he took the bullet for me...it was meant for me. I should be the one lying on that table right now"

Jack shook his head "Now don't say that, neither one of you two should be in there right now!"

Lisa nodded "He's right hun, and he's in very good hands and we have to be strong for him because I know he's gonna make it through this."

They both took a seat next to me, Lisa sat with one arm around me and the other holding onto Jack's, who was sitting next to her.

I put my head back into my hands.

I don't know how much time had gone by, seconds, minutes, hours?

But I felt someone's hand on my shoulder, my head snapped up, only to see a police officer, she was around 35, short brown hair. Looked nice enough.

"Are you Miss Sharpay Evans?" I nodded. "Well I have your sister here, Miley Evans."

"Is she being charged?"

"We have nothing to charged Miss Evans with, unless you want to press charges?"

I thought for a moment, "No...no I don't"

"Very well, she's abit shaken up but no injures. We do however suggest that she sees a councillor"

"Yea...Erm I will...get on that. Is she here?"

The women nodded "Yes, she is right outside those doors, ill bring her in"

At this point, Troy's parents were abit confused, they obviously hadn't been filled in on all the details. But knowing that this would be a private matter, they both decided to go and find some coffee. Leaving me sitting there alone.

I don't know what I was feeling at this point, I mean, my own sister had tried to kill me and yet I didn't want to press charges?! I guess she is still my sister and that sick freak did take advantage of her from a young age. But still...Do I still love her?

I turned my head when I saw her slowly walk over with that officer, she looked...scared.

The women said something about leaving us two alone and how she would be back in the morning, or was it later? I really wasn't listening. I watched Miley, she hadn't even looked up at me. She sat down in the seat next to me and I looked away. Not a word was spoken between us for a long time until I heard her say...

"H..hows Troy?"

I turned to look at her, her face was pale, eyes red and puffy from crying. My face probably looked no different. Her eyes slowly met mine.

"He's in surgery"

Miley looked down "And how are you?"

My face grew hard. "I've been stalked by a psychopath, been beaten to the point where I've blacked out, found out my sister had betrayed me and was helping a sick freak try and kill me, my best friend/boyfriend is lying on a surgery table with a bullet in his chest and could easily die at any moment...Yea I'm feeling just peachy!"

I saw tears fall down Miley's face

"I'm sorry Sharpay"

I let out a laugh

"Your sorry?! Why did you even do this to me?! Eh?!"

Miley turned and looked at me, "I don't know!! I was so unbelievably stupid! I deserve to die for what I've done. I know it was unforgivable and I know you will probably never talk to me again but please Shar...please believe me when I say that I'm sorry"

She then broke down into hysterical crying, she her face into her hands as her body shook violently.

And I don't know why but my heart went out to her, she is still my sister after all. But I thought of Troy lying in the operating theatre and the anger built up in me again.

I looked down, and then back up.

"If Troy dies...Then your dead to me!"

Miley looked up, I knew she was sorry, I could see it on her face and in her eyes, I knew her that much. But Troy meant everything to me. I don't how I'd go on without him...

Just as Miley was gonna say something, a doctor walked over to us.

"Are you relatives of Mr Troy Bolton?"

"Yes! We are!" We all looked over to see Troy's parents.

Lisa and Jack had walked in with 4 cups of coffee and now quickly made their way over.

"We're his parents, is he ok?!"

The doctor looked down at his clip bored and said "We were able to remove the bullet, lucky enough it hadn't gone in to deep and it hadn't done any major damage. We would like Troy to stay here for a few nights to rest but other then that, we believe he is going to make a full recovery"

We all let out a big sigh of relief, Jack and Lisa both hugged each other and Miley had a big smile on her face.

I took in a breath, he was ok, I smiled. He was going to live! I looked up

"Can we see him?"

The doctor nodded "He is drifting in and out of sleep, so only one person at a time I'm afraid"

My smile faded, I wouldn't be able to see him until tomorrow.

Lisa must have seen the look on my face because she said "Sharpay, why don't you go in first?"

"Are you sure?" They both nodded "We can see him later, I'm sure your the one person he would want to see right now"

I stood up and hugged them both, they were truly my second parents. "Thank you"

The doctor lead me to Troy's room, were he left me to go in alone. I slowly opened the door and closed it again. I looked over at Troy and saw him asleep, the blankets were pulled up to his waist and I could see the bandages on his chest.

I walked over to his side and sat down, and took his hand in mine and brought it to my lips.

I watched him for a few seconds, he still looked handsome, even now.

As I stroked his hair, he started to stir. He opened his eyes slowly, and when he saw me, he smiled.

"Hey sleepy head"

"Hey"

"Trust you to still be lying around at 2 in the afternoon"

Troy laughed slightly "You know me"

Tears started to form in my eyes.

"Oh Troy, I thought I'd lost you! I thought you were gonna leave me"

Tears rolled down my face and Troy bought his hand up to wipe them away

"You could never get rid of me, I'd never leave you. I love you"

I smiled and leant down to kiss him softly on his lips, they were still soft.

"I love you too"

We kissed once more, I pulled away and yawned

"S..sorry"

Troy smiled "Its ok, you look tired, come up here and get some rest."

"Troy I couldn't, I might hurt you, I will just go back to my room"

Troy grabbed my hand

"Please Sharpay, stay. I want you with me, I want to know your safe."

I let out a sigh "Ok, but if I hurt you, please tell me"

Troy nodded and slowly moved over to make more room, I slipped under the covers and into his arms, I gently rested my head on his shoulder, and put my arm lightly round his waist as he wrapped his arms, as best he could, around me.

We both smiled and it was in that moment, that I didn't want it to end, I felt safe for the first time in a week, I knew the killer, who ever he was, wasn't gonna get me again and I knew that I still loved my sister, even after what she did. And I was in Troy's arms, and he was safe and alive. For the first time in a week, I felt relaxed.

And it wasn't long before we both drifted off to sleep.

Wow this took me about 2-3 hours to write and its 5 pages long! Didnt think i would do that much haha and i wrote it without stopping =D

I dont know much about hospitals and the way police stuff goes haha i could look it up but i cant be bothered :P So if i'm wrong about anything in this chapter then im sorry about that.

And i couldnt let Miley go to prison, i know shes been a bitch but i do want a nice happy ending haha

In the next chapter Sharpay will come face to 'face' with the killer and her and Miley make more progress with eachother.

After that there will be one final short chapter to finish everything off :( I'm quite sad its nearly over but still, its not over just yet, theres plently more time for reviews ;)

The next chapter will be out soon!
