Chapter 5

Ryan's p.o.v

My heart stops. Maybe Kelsi was joking.

"Ryan? Did you hear me? Taylor and Gabriella are here…now!" Kelsi says through the door.

I turn to look at Troy, whose now up and pacing the room. Okay think Ry, think.

"Well did you let them in?" I ask, stupidly.

"No, I turned off all the lights and hid. Of course I let them in! What the hell do I do?" Kelsi asked

I open the door and Kelsi rushes in.

"Okay, this isn't that bad" Kelsi starts "Troy, you just go downstairs and tell her you left something over here"

"Uhh, I already told her that I was going over my cousin's house, out of town." Troy says

Kelsi punches his arm.

"This is way lying is bad!" She says

"SORRY!" Troy says back

Okay this is dumb.

"Look, just tell her that I'm on a date and you're watching the house, and you're not allowed to have anyone over" I explain

I give myself a mental high five. Quick thinking Ry. Kelsi smiles and Troy leans over and gives me a kiss.

"I love you" he says

"I know" I say.

Kelsi rushes out the door and I follow her to the edge of the stairs, just enough to hear the conversation. Gabriella is standing close to the door, while Taylor is looking through the refrigerator. If that was anyone else I would be pissed, but Taylor's my neighbor and we've been over each other's house too many times to count. We each have a key to the each other's houses in case of emergencies. So me and Taylor are closer than most people notice, I mean she was my first kiss. Funny how things can change.

"Um, Ryan's out on a date" Kelsi lies "and I'm watching the house, just in case his mom calls. He's not supposed to be out."

Taylor walks over to Gabbi and Kelsi.

"Really? Because he usually has me cover for him" Taylor says

Shit, she's right. Kelsi looks nervous, while Gabbi tilts her head.

"So, why is Troy's car here?" She ask

Shit, shit, shit! As Kelsi tires to explain Taylor slowly makes her way to the bottom of the stairs. I try to get up and run back to my room, but I don't move quickly enough. Taylor sees me and opens her mouth to say something. But I shake me head and frown. She looks confused but nods her head.

"Um, Gabbs, Troy left his car over at my place because he took the bus, but I parked it in Ryan's driveway" Taylor says slowly.

Gabriella looks lost but she doesn't have time to think, Taylor pushes her out the door and shuts it behind her, as she flashes me a quick smile. Thank you, Ty, I love you! Kelsi runs back to the stairs.

"What just happened?" she ask

"Taylor just, has my back" I say

Kelsi nods.

"Okay, I think me and Jason should get going" she says

I nod. She walks down the stairs, and in three minutes, she and Jason are gone and my phone rings. It's Taylor. I pick up as troy watches a game on TV. I guess he's not stressed.

"Hey, Ty thanks so much!" I say

"That wasn't a problem, but um, I do have a problem with Troy Bolton being in your room!" she says

I almost drop the phone. How does she know? Oh wait, I walk over to the window and see Taylor waving at me from her room across the yard. Fuck, how could I forget? How could I fucking forget?

"Let me explain" I say

"You better, now you know I could care less about you being gay, but not with my friend's boyfriend!" she says waving her hands wildly.

"I know!" I answered

Troy hears me and walks up behind me and grabs my waist. He kisses me neck.

"Who you talking to?" he ask

I simply point up. He looks, sees Taylor and freezes, his lips still on my neck.

"She knows" I say

Troy shyly waves at Taylor and she smiles.

"You two are kinda cute, I have to admit" she says

"Yeah, thanks" I say

"Well I don't know what you all are gonna do, but do it quick before one of you gets hurt" she says

"Promise" I say

Suddenly, I hear a noise in the background, but her curtains cover the space. She turns her head quickly. Her eyes widen and she tries quickly to shut the curtains, but it's too late. Gabriella sees us, Troy's arms around me and him kissing the back of my neck. Troy happens to look up and see her to. FUCK! Taylor closes her curtains with the most apologetic face I've ever seen. It's not her fault. Me and Troy don't move for awhile. But Troy breaks away and goes to the bed. He lays on his back and closes his eyes. I walk over to him.

"Troy" I say

He raises his hand.

"Don't just please, don't" he says as he gets up and shuts the door. He turns off the light, leaving the glowing TV. I stand by him laying on the bed. I don't know if I should lay down or not. Is he mad at me? It's not my fault. I think about telling him to leave, until he opens his eyes a little, so he's squinting.

"Are you coming?" he asks, patting the bed space next to him.

I slowly sit down next to him and he lays his head on my chest. He closes his eyes and places his hand on my chest.

"I still have you" he whispers

"Always" I respond

Always.

Troy's p.o.v

The sun hits my eyes and I get up. Ryan's in the shower, I can hear the water.

I get up and walk to the window, I can't tell if Gabbi's gone or not. I walk into Ryan's bathroom. The room's filled with steam and Ryan's singing lightly in the shower. I slowly shut the door and lock it. Ryan's still singing. I pull off my shirt and drop my boxers. I look at my self in the mirror. Not half bad, I smile. I pull back the curtain and Ryan jumps. He smiles once he sees it's me. He reaches out and pulls me in. I look at his wet body, the way his hair sticks to his forehead and the back of his neck. I grab the back of his neck and kiss him. We're both under the water, getting wet. I lean Ryan against the tiled wall and begin leaving a trail of wet kisses down his chest. He leans his head back and moans. He pulls my head up and kisses me. I lean closer to him, closing the gap between us. He brings his leg around my waist. I grab his thigh and lift his leg up higher, until our parts are touching. He's smiling. I keep my eyes on his and slowly reach down to grab him. He shivers. I kiss him, hard. His tongue moves fast in my mouth. I grab his ass and lift him from the ground. He moans. I slowly put him down and get to my knees, just when there's a knock on the bedroom door. There's a voice, but I can't make it out. Ryan looks down at me and frowns.

"I'll be right back" he says "it's probably Taylor"

He walks out to his bedroom, I follow him. The knocking continues. Ryan's eyes are wide and he looks scared.

"What's wrong?" I ask

"Is someone in there!" a voice screams from the other side of the door.

A girls voice, a familiar voice. Sharpay's voice! This is not happening! Why am I cursed with this horrible fate! A little overdramatic, but you get the point.

"No! Sharpay, your day early!" Ryan says

"So?" she responds "open the door, I wanna show you my pics!"

"I can't I'm naked…again" he says

"Eww, well once you get out come downstairs! Oh and why is Troy's car in our driveway?" she ask

"Um, long story" he says

Sharpay obviously didn't stay to hear the answer, because I already hear her heels on the hardwood floor. Ryan turns to me.

"You have got to leave!" he says as he pushes me to one of his windows.

"Ry! You want me to jump out of a three story window!" I whisper.

He stops and thinks

"You'll only sprain your ankle" he says

I move out of his grip

"This is ridiculous" I say "I'll just say I passed out in your room last night, she'll totally fall for it" I say

She so didn't fall for it. Now I'm in my car with a torn ego, and leaving Ryan to explain himself to Sharpay. God my life is hell and school hasn't even started yet! It takes about an hour to get to my house. I hop out of the car and try to sneak into my house. I slowly step into the house only to see my mom sitting at the table with Gabbi. Once they see me, Gabbi gets up and walks to the door.

"Hey" is all I can manage to say

She pushes her way past me and goes outside. I look at my mom; she shakes her head and gets up. She walks to me and gives me a hug.

"We need to talk" she whispers

What did Gabriella tell her?

So you like? Tell me and give me reviews! Did you like Taylor? Oh, I hope you liked it! Plz tell me what you think…oh and yes they will go to school! Oh, so um if you want to, you can go to my myspace and talk. ya!
