Intermission: Everything Sucks
A/N: Ok, I lied. Again. Sorry. Seriously, this chapter totally sucks and I feel like I rushed it. This is #1 on my redo list. Anyway, expect the story to end very soon as my attention swings over to my new fic.
The rest of the day was spent indoors as Troy and Sharpay hung around the apartment lazily. After all of the drama from the past couple of days, they decided that they needed some rest and relaxation. After their talk at the breakfast table, they moved the conversation over to the couch where their minds rotted while watching TV. Around noon, Sharpay had fallen asleep while watching a soccer game with Troy. She was lightly snoring as she used Troy's chest as a pillow, though it wouldn't stay still because of his pesky breathing. Ryan decided as her manager that this was a vacation day and sat in front of the TV as well.
"I am so bored. I wish we had something to do." Ryan complained from his seat on the floor. He got up to stretch the cramp that was developing in his leg. Troy shifted his weight on the couch, trying not to wake up Sharpay who mumbled something in her sleep.
"There's nothing much that we could do around here. Help me move Sharpay, my arm is asleep." Ryan held up his sister while Troy slid out from under her. They both gently moved her back onto the couch, careful not to drop her.
"I wish Gabriella were here, when she's around it's never boring." Ryan said as Troy tried to work the blood back into his arm. They both looked at each other in shock after they realized what they had done.
"Oh crap! We didn't tell Gabi that we were leaving!" They both exclaimed as the telephone started ringing. Jumping over the couch, Troy picked up the phone nervously. He already knew who was calling by the angry way that the phone was ringing.
"Uhh, hey Gabi. Sorry, but I didn't have time to leave you a note. I guess since you're calling here you found Sharpay's note." Troy nervously started speaking before she even had a chance to speak.
"What's up with this Troy! First you quit your job and then you hop the first plane to New York to chase down Sharpay and you don't even leave a note!" Troy cringed as she yelled at him over the phone. Ryan also closed his eyes at the verbal abuse that Gabi was spitting at Troy over the phone; she was that loud.
"Even worse, you left me here with Doug and he hasn't shut up for the past six hours." Troy laughed to himself as he heard Doug singing a Backstreet Boys song in the background.
"Hey get down from there!" Gabi yelled at Doug as he started to jump on the couch. The singing abruptly stopped as a crash was heard on the phone and then a loud rustling could be heard.
"Gabi, what happened? Are you okay?" Troy asked after a few seconds of silence.
"Yeah, I'm just fine. Doug dive bombed me from the couch. I think he might be drunk because he knocked himself out. Hey don't touch that!" Gabi giggled as all the anger faded from her voice.
"What happened now?" Troy asked as more giggling could be heard.
"He's not drunk he's just really horny. Get home quick before something bad happens." Gabi shut the phone off and pushed Doug away from her.
"That will probably get him to come home faster." Doug said as he straightened himself up and fixed the couch.
"You mean that was all an act?" Gabi asked, bewildered at the sudden change in character. Doug just winked at her and went to the fridge.
"Everything except the really horny part. Come on Gabi, we're kind of friends. What do you say?" Doug asked her hopefully.
"Whatever Doug." She rolled her eyes at him as she went into the bedroom, Doug following close behind.
Back in New York
"Guess we better start heading for L.A." Troy said as Ryan paced the living room.
"Your doofy friend better not be feeling Gabi up." Ryan said as Troy went to wake Sharpay up.
"Don't worry. Gabi hasn't slept with another guy for…three months. Okay maybe we should worry." Troy gently shook Sharpay's shoulder and she blinked her eyes open slowly.
"Hey sleeping beauty. We better start heading back to L.A. We are both unemployed now and that totally sucks." Sharpay rubbed at her eyes and walked to the bedroom to pack.
"Yeah, I just realized that you guys are unemployed. What the hell are you going to do for work since you both quit your jobs." Ryan asked as he too started to pack his things.
"Well hopefully Sharpay can still have a part in the movie. Don't worry about me. I'll find a job somewhere." An hour later they were ready to go and left the apartment for the airport. Catching the first available flight, they all slept on the plane with the same thought on their minds.
"We don't have jobs and we're nearly broke. Damn, everything sucks!"
A/N: Really short but the next chapter should be better. A couple days ago I got like 5 reviews from 1 guy. In 1 day. That's what I like to see. So, to Dragonskin Fool. Hats off to ya. I'm not going to beg for reviews but just do it. Even if its to say that you hate me. Do it. I dare you.
