Chapter 26-Tragedy Strikes
Hey you guys, thanks again for all your suggestions and reviews, they're all really inspiring me to keep going.
Sharpay was lounging around in the pool with Gabi, she had her eyes closed and she sighed in contentment "This is the life." Gabi nodded in agreement "Nothing could be more perfect right now." Ryan and Troy came out holding coffee's from Starbucks "Not even your favorite coffee?" Ryan said standing at the side of the pool. Both Gabi and Sharpay looked at each other and started trying to push their floater chairs to the edge of the pool to get to the coffee. They finally reached the edge and grabbed the coffee "Thank you…this makes it absolutely the best." Sharpay said sipping her coffee.
Troy and Ryan sat on the edge of the pool getting their feet wet and talking with the girls until Riley came crawling up to Ryan. Ryan smiled and put him on his lap and Riley smiled up at him. They continued to sit there talking for a few minutes until Riley pulled himself up using Ryan's arm. He stood up straight and walked, somewhat wobbly, but walked nonetheless over to Troy. The four of the stared at each other in shock and Gabi shook her head "Please tell me I'm not seeing things and that really just happened." Sharpay nodded smiling happily "He just walked from Ryan to Troy. This has got to be the best day ever, nothing can ruin today."
The phone rang inside the house and Sharpay got up to answer it. "Hello? Mom? Slow down I can't understand what you're saying. Wait a minute, he what? Is he ok? Ok, keep us posted." She hung up the phone and ran to Troy and gave him a hug. Troy hugged her back, he heard her sobbing and looked at Ryan and Gabi, they shook their heads and Troy rubbed her back "What's wrong Shar? Who was on the phone?" Sharpay pulled away from Troy and looked at Ryan "That was mom; she was calling to tell us that dad had a heart attack." Ryan's face went pale and Gabi grabbed his arm tightly. Ryan was silent before saying "Is he ok?"
Sharpay shrugged "Mom said the doctors don't know yet." She looked at Troy and he was just sitting there playing with Riley. She glared at him and walked by taking Riley from him and pushing him into the pool before going into the house. Troy came up to the surface looking confused "What did I do?" Both Ryan and Gabi shrugged so Troy went into the house while Gabi gave Ryan a comforting hug. "What did you push me into the pool for? I didn't do anything." Sharpay looked up from where she had sat Riley "Exactly, you didn't do anything. Gabi's out there being all comforting to Ryan and all you can do is play with Riley." She walked over to the counter and Troy walked up behind her.
"Shar, I was just…" He was cut off by Sharpay "Save it Troy, you don't care about anything unless it has to do involve you." Troy looked shocked "That's not true and you know it. Forgive me for not knowing what to say to you. I've never been in this situation before; my dad has never had a heart attack so I can't tell you I know how you feel because I'd be lying. I didn't say anything because I didn't want to say the wrong thing and make you get mad at me but it looks like you got mad anyway." Sharpay glared at him "Don't try to turn this around on me."
Troy held his hands up "I didn't I was just trying to tell you why I didn't say anything. It wasn't because I don't care because it doesn't involve me; I'm just not good with the whole comforting thing." Sharpay snorted "Oh sure Troy, any excuse will do won't it?" Troy sighed "It's not an excuse, it's the truth." Sharpay shook her head "Of course it's not…pity me because I don't know what to say…god I hate you." The minute she said those words she wanted to take them back, but she looked at Troy and saw the hurt in his eyes.
He lowered his head and sighed "Well I'm sorry I couldn't be any help to you, I think I'll just go now." He turned to leave and Sharpay reached out to grab his arm "Don't…stay here with me." She whispered quietly. Troy stopped and turned around to look at her "I don't know if I can right now." He kissed her hand and walked out of the house with Gabi and Ryan looking at him confused. They walked into the kitchen and saw Sharpay crying. "What happened?" Gabi asked rushing over. Sharpay sniffed "I just lost him."
Don't hurt me, people wanted drama so I gave them drama. Reviews are nice. I love you guys.
