Thanks for the reviews! Here's chapter 6!

The front door slammed shut and woke Calum up from his slumber. He looked at the clock- 2:15- Cam was home. His eyes widened. "What am I gonna do," he whispered to himself, sitting up in bed. He quickly shut off his radio, desperate for silence. He heard footstep climbing up the stairs and prepared himself for the worst.

The door opened and Calum turned toward it. Cam stood there with an expression of confusion on his face. "I thought I heard music," he said, walking over to Calum's bed. "What are you doing home?"

Calum had to think fast. He had one chance. His brother seemed concerned, but Calum didn't know how much of the real story Cam knew. "I didn't feel good. Dad picked me up and went back to work."

Cam nodded, "do you need anything?"

"No."

"I'm going with the guys. I'll have my cellphone, call me if you need anything." Cam walked to the door and stopped. He turned around, "are you sure, I don't need to go. I'll stay here if you want some company."

"Nah. I need some more sleep anyways," Calum said, finishing it with a fake yawn.

Cam gave him a skeptical look. "Calum, I don't want to leave you alone if you're sick."

"I'll be fine, I've been alone all day."

"And you look like crap." Cam looked at his brother. His eyes were somewhat red and puffy and he was paler than a ghost.

"I'll call you if I need anything," Calum said, hoping his brother would leave.

"Okay, I'll stay close."

Cam walked down the stairs with a bad feeling in his stomach. He knew he shouldn't leave Calum alone, but Calum seemed eager to let him go. He shook off the feeling before locking the door to the house. If he was leaving Calum at home alone, he wanted to make sure no one could get inside.

Calum watched his brother from his window. He let out a deep breath when his brother and his friends rounded the corner. He hadn't thought it would be that easy to get rid of him. Calum walked back to his bed, and fell on top of it. "This is going to be a long day alone," he said to the ceiling, before hitting the on button on his radio and shutting his eyes.

"Hey Gabriella," Troy said leaning against her locker. Gabriella shook her head and laughed a little bit at Troy's stance.

"Don't you have free period work out now?"

"You see, a captain is useless if he was a bruised rib."

Gabriella sighed before turning her attention to her locker. "You know I hate it when people fight Troy-"

"He started it," Troy said harshly. Gabriella tensed a little bit and Troy softened his expression. "Hey, you want to do something tonight?"

"On a school night?"

"We could study?" Troy said smiling. Gabriella shut her locker and smiled. "How about rehearsals. Darbus is freaking out."

"Alright," Troy said. He leaned in to kiss her, when he heard someone clear their throat. Troy and Gabriella looked up at Coach Bolton. Troy smiled like he had earlier that morning and Gabriella blushed. "Bye Coach Bolton."

"See you soon Gabriella," he said to the girl as she kissed Troy's cheek and headed to the classroom where she was going to meet Taylor. "Troy, I want to talk to you." Coach Bolton grabbed his son's arm and lead him through the mob of students. Once they got to his office, he motioned for Troy to sit down.

"Deja vu," Troy said, trying to lighten the mood after seeing the look on his father's face.

"Troy, I talked to your sister today, you want to know what she told me?"

"It couldn't have been good," Troy said, chuckling nervously.

"No, it wasn't. You're scaring her."

"What," Troy said confused.

"And I can understand where she's coming from."

"What!" This time Troy was outraged.

"Troy, you've changed and I wont have you acting like you are in my house. I want you to skip practice today and go home. REST! That's what you need. If I catch you anywhere but the house, I wont be afraid to ban you from the tournament." Coach Bolton saw his son's mouth drop and his eyebrows raise. "The last thing the team needs is your new attitude," he said adding extra emphasis on 'new.'

Troy was silent for a minute and Jack thought he wasn't going to say anything. "What about rehearsal?"

"I'll talk to Darbus about that." The coach's voice was concerned. "I'm worried about you Troy."

"You don't have to worry about me, I'll be fine."

"No." The coach took a deep breath. "I don't want you making the same mistake I did," he added quietly.

How do you like it? A little short I know but I really liked the suspense that the end makes! Sorry...Review!
