Chapter 6

Hey, so how is the story going so far? I can't wait for them to go to school. Oh and this chappie really shows a different side to most characters. I REALLY hope you like it. I need some more reviews and this is the last time I'll ask, so don't worry. I love you guys and thanks for all my reviewers from Dirty Little Secret, who review this story to. Oh and through out the story you'll notice that Troy and Ryan do a lot of the same things, I did this to show that no matter how different we all are, we go through the same things.

Luv ya

Ryan's p.o.v

"Ry, how could you lie to me?" Sharpay says softly

"I'm sorry" I respond "I just thought you wouldn't understand"

She looks hurt

"But Kelsi would?" she ask "you trust her over me!"

"No! Of course not, I just thought, I…I don't know" I admit

Sharpay looks down and shakes her head. I finally walk over to her bed and sit next to her.

"Ry, we're falling apart" she says

"What? No, we're not!" I lie

She's right and it kills me to think about it.

"Yeah, we are. With me and Zeke and now you and Troy, we're never gonna see each other. And now you can't even confide in me."

"Sharpay, I know it sounds bad but, everything will work it's self out." I say, rubbing her back.

Sharpay takes in a deep breath, oh no. Here it comes. Sharpay begins crying, which turns into loud sobbing. Great, just great. I mean, you think she'd out grow being so over dramatic. Well, I have, so she should too.

"Sharpay, Sharpay! Stop crying!" I command, knowing well, that it's something we can both turn on and off at cue.

Sharpay looks over at me and frowns. Wait these tears, are still flowing, she's really crying. She looks at me, and gets up to leave. I grab her arm and pull her back down.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that" I say, not knowing whether to hug her or not.

Oh, my god, I actually hurt Sharpay. That hasn't happened since….wait, that never happens. I feel horrible. I decide to take the chance and hug her. I throw my arms around her in a tight embrace. She doesn't push me away, like she did when we were kids. Instead she lays her head on my shoulder. Oh god, I really feel like shit now.

"I'm so sorry Shar" I say, pulling her away so that we're face to face, I smile "what can I do to make it up?"

Sharpay keeps crying but looks down. After about five seconds, she shoots her head up and smiles. Oh, how, she got me again! Damn it!

"Tell me everything!" she says smiling slyly.

"Everything?" I question

"EVERYTHING" she repeats.

She gets up and shuts the door, so my mom, who's passed out in her room, won't hear anything. She runs back to the bed and sits close to me, grabbing my arm and grinning.

I take a deep breath, and get ready to spill.

Troy's p.o.v

My mom doesn't talk for about an hour, instead we just sit on the couch. It seems to be the only place we both feel comfortable to talk. I couldn't imagine talking to my mom on my bed. The place were I think about Ryan every night, about kissing him, touching him. I imagine him laying next to me. Stop! Now's not the time.

"So" my mom says breaking the silence. "You wanna talk?"

"Mom, look what did she tell you?" I ask "because it was probably lie"

"She told me you your gay" she says

Wow, she's always been blunt.

"Okay" I say scratching the back of my head "maybe she wasn't lying"

My mom starts sobbing

"Did you know?" she asks

"Know what?" I ask

"That he had AIDS" she says between sobs.

Huh? Oh, Gabriella, that bitch. I reach over and rub my mom's back.

"Oh, mom. Ryan doesn't have AIDS or anything like that" I say, but I know she doesn't believe me.

She gets up and goes up the stairs and soon after I hear her door shut. FUCK! How could she do something so fucking immature! God, I never would have ever imagined she could stoop so fucking low. Suddenly my cell goes off. I reach into my pocket and pick up. It's Gabriella.

"What" I say

"Would did your mom think?" she ask

"FUCK YOU!" I scream into the phone

There's a silence.

"You hurt me so bad, Troy. It's only fair that I do the same to you, right?" she ask, not a question, but a taunt

"Gabbi I'm sorry, but your going too fucking far!" I say, losing all sorrow I once felt for her

"TOO FAR!" she yells "No, too far is lying to someone I love, to be with another guy! Too far is making out with someone else everyday, but you have to be forced to touch me! Too far is lying to my face and making me feel like shit! I wasn't even important enough to break up with! Going too far would be telling me I could trust you and that you loved me! This is not too far. Wait until school starts, then you'll see how far I can go."

The phones clicks and she's gone. Oh my god. Oh my god. This is not Gabbi. Not the shy girl who walked with her head down. I mean, sure hanging out with Sharpay can change you, but even she's not that bad. I head up to my room and lay on my bed. It seems like that's were I always end up. It begins to storm outside. I take off my pants; I must have left my boxers at Ryan's. I slide off my shirt and hop in bed. As soon as I get comfortable enough under the covers, my phone rings. I get up and grab my phone out of my pants. Wow, it's Chad. I quickly pick up.

"Hello?" I ask

"Troy? Are you okay? Please tell me your okay!" he rushes

"Whoa, slow down, I'm fine what are you talking about?" I ask

"What? I heard you were sick with…AIDS" he hesitates

AHHHH!
"Chad, I do not have AIDS!" I almost scream

"Oh. Well, then why is…never mind" he says "well you know I heard it from Zeke, he's worried about you too."

"Zeke? Wow told him? God, Gabriella is so jealous of us" I say to myself

"Who's us?" Chad asks "well you know what; it's none of my business. Well if you're not sick then, um, bye"

"Wait" I say, but it's too late.

He hung up. I dial Ryan's number, he's what I need right now. I need him next to me.

"Hello?" Ryan's voice ask

"Ry?" I ask

"Yeah, hey Troy" he says

His voice is sad and quiet.

"What's wrong babe?" I ask

"Um, you didn't tell anyone about us did you?" he asks

"Of course not" I say

"Well, Taylor just called me and said that Kelsi told her that someone told her that , your going around telling every one that I gave you something" he says

"WHAT? No, never! I love you, I fucking love you!" I say

"Okay" he says

Okay? That's it? He doesn't believe me. He thinks that I could have really said such horrible things?

"Babe, its Gabbi!" I say

"Gabriella? Come on Troy." He says

"It is her, I swear! I love you too much" I say "just come over and let me show you how much"

There's silence.

"Okay, I'll be there" he says "bye"

"I love you…so much" I say

"I know you do. I love you too" he says and hangs up.

The storm is crazy now and the lights are flickering. I hear the door slam shut and know that my dad must be home now. He comes and goes. He sleeps over some ones else's house, but to everyone else, he lives here. As he walks down the hall, he lightly taps on my door, his way of saying hi with out actually having to see me. I don't say anything back, but it won't matter any way. Oh no, what if my mom is up and tells him every thing. I know there's a talk coming up, right now she's in shock, or worse…denial. Oh Ryan, please hurry.

I rush to the door, before Ryan can ring the doorbell. I swing open the door and rush him to my room. The last thing I need is my mom going crazy on Ryan. Once we get to my room Ryan sits on my bed, while I lock the door. He's still sad. I walk over to him and sit.

"You alright?" I ask

He turns and stares at me and shakes his head.

"No, not really" he says truthfully

I grab his chin and kiss his lips softly. Letting him know that I'll always be there. He pulls away and takes off his shirt. I follow his lead and take my shirt off and my pants. Leaving me naked. Ryan gets up and slide off his pants. He's not wearing underwear. I grab his naked body and pull him on top of me. I just kiss him softly. There's no sexual tension, just us pure and bare, holding on to all we have right now, each other.

So what do you think? Tell me, lovers.

Luv ya
