I'm not getting as many reviews. But I'm not complainig since you know, I'm still getting some! Thanks to all of you who are reviewing!


"No, you've done enough already." Gabriella said an icy tone in her voice.

"What do you mean?" Sharpay asked.

"You know what I mean." Gabriella said. Sharpay could tell she was nervous about standing up to her best friend but she felt she had to.

"Gabi, Troy is in pain for his mother. I don't think it's the appropriate time to make accusations about me stealing your boyfriend. However I could make a couple accusations about you and someone else." Sharpay shot her a knowing glare.

"What? We'll talk later. I promise you won't get out of it." Gabi said, making Sharpay slightly scared of her.

"Fine. Come on, Ry." Sharpay said, Ryan and her leaving a shocked Kelsi, Jason, Taylor, and Chad behind with a mad Gabriella.


"Troy, are you okay?" Sharpay asked. They were almost at the hospital and Troy hadn't talked since Sharpay had broken the news.

"Yeah, I'm just peachy. My mom's in the hospital and everything is just fine." Troy said, sarcastically.

"Sorry, Troy, for being worried about you." Sharpay said, Ice Queen coming out.

"Why are you worried? The Ice Queen has no feelings, remember?" Troy said, fuming. When Sharpay looked like she was about to cry, Troy snorted. (You know when people are like, 'yeah right'?) "Nice try, Drama Queen."

"You know what, Bolton? Why was I even worried about you? You were just like I had always thought: a lunkhead basketball jock who cares only about himself!"

"Yes, and right now, you are being a full on Ice Queen who is absorbed in her own feelings!" Troy shouted back.

"You-you-you…" Sharpay said, a tear falling down her cheek. Why? Why does this always happen? I let my wall down and my heart is ripped in half. Here is the boy who I liked and here he is, yelling at me!

"Shar…I'm sorry. I didn't mean it." Troy said, his voice softening.

"No, you did." Sharpay said, getting out of the car. Ryan was already at the counter getting Mrs. Bolton's room number.

Great. I'm finally getting Sharpay to open up to me and here I go, hurting her. if you really want her to like you back, why don't you try to be nice to her? Hmm? Troy thought, mentally kicking himself.


"Hey Shar, hey Troy, she's in room 102. Come on." Ryan said, putting his arm around Sharpay.

"Thanks Ry." Troy said. He walked first into the room, Sharpay and Ryan standing at the window. They watched as Troy and his mom hugged. Mrs. Bolton noticed them and motioned for them to come in, Sharpay smiling and Ryan walking in behind her.

"Hey kids. Ironic, I work at a hospital, helping people, not getting people to help me." She said as she hugged Sharpay, then Ryan.

"Well, at least you're safe." Sharpay said, sniffling.

"Umm…can I speak to a relative of Mrs. Melissa Bolton?" the doctor asked.

"Yeah, that's me." Troy said.

"Okay, can I talk to you alone?" Dr. Cable asked.

"Yeah." Troy said. Sharpay could tell he was nervous so she decided to walk with him outside. Troy noticed this and smiled, grabbing her hand.

"I'm Dr. Cable, nice to meet you." The doctor said.

"Hi, Dr. Cable. What's wrong?" Troy asked.

"Well, I'm afraid we found small amounts of internal bleeding inside your mother. We're gonna have to operate immediately to stop it. There's a 99 chance she'll live. We know for a fact she'll live though. It's small so the operation is going to be small."

"Really? Wow. Okay. Well, we need Mrs. Bolton to get better. I guess it's up to Troy though."

"Umm…yeah. Operate." Troy said at a loss for words.

"Good. She'll be out of surgery in about 3 hours. You can sit in the waiting room. There's a couch there." Dr. Cable said and left. Ryan started to come out but Sharpay stopped him, motioning that she would tell him later.

"Come on." Sharpay said, still holding Troy's hand, walking with him to the waiting room.

Twenty minutes later, Gabi, Chad, Ryan, Taylor, Jason, and Kelsi are filled in and walk into the waiting room to find Troy and Sharpay on the couch, Sharpay's legs up on the couch beside her, fingers intertwined, her head on his shoulder and his head leaning on hers.


So? Do you like it? It's totally going to be drama, drama, drama next chapter. And more Troypay. I promise. I just had to find a way to make it go that way!
