Dying Alive
Chapter 9
Troy
--------------------
Troy stalks down the hallway after his breakup with Sharpay. He has his fists clenched, and a glare on his face. As he hears a noise inside one of the janitor's closets, he takes a couple steps back and opens the door.
"Gabriella?" he asks as he stares down at her as she lies there with a knife to her throat.
"I…I…" she murmurs back.
"Is this because of the accident? Sharpay got to you this bad?" Troy sits down next to her, putting his arm around her shoulders. She nods slowly and Troy takes the knife. He puts it on a shelf and hugs Gabriella. "I'm sorry I ever went out with her. She's a total jerk. Do you want me back?"
Gabriella laughs. "Who wouldn't," she kisses his cheek. "Thanks," she murmurs. Troy laughs, takes her hand, and they head out of the school together.
They soon arrive at a large park and they sit down in the middle of a field of flowers.
"Oh, Troy," Gabriella giggles happily.
Troy chuckles and puts his arm around the girl's shoulders. "Isn't today great?"
"The greatest," the girl replies happily. "I'm so glad you found me in there. I don't know what I'd do without you," she kissed his cheek again.
After a while, they both stand up and walk off. "Sharpay?" Troy asks as he sees Sharpay slumped against a tree, tears streaming down her cheeks. "Are you okay?" he asks.
She stands up straight and tall, wipes off her tears, and glares at them. "Why wouldn't I be?" she demands and then stalks off toward her house.
Troy and Gabriella exchange looks and then shrug. "She'll get over it," Troy mutters and Gabriella nods.

Sharpay
--------------
Sharpay stays slumped against the tree, tears continuing to fall down her cheeks. After a while, Troy and Gabriella walk over to her. "Sharpay?" Troy asks as he sees her slumped against a tree, tears streaming down her cheeks. "Are you okay?" he asks.
She stands up straight and tall, wiped off her tears, and glares at them. "Why wouldn't I be?" she demands and then stalks off toward her house.
When she gets to her house, she slams the door shut and stomps up to her room. "Sharpay?" Ryan pokes his head out of his room. "Sharpay, where've you been?" he demands, but he stops when he sees her tears. "I'm sorry Sharpay," he hugs her, but she pushes him away and went into her room, slamming the door behind her.
Once in her room, Sharpay sits down on her bed, tears continuing to fly down her cheeks. She slowly stands up and began to sing:
"I used to dream of someone
Someone who would help me up
They would be there for me
In the darkest times
He would never let me go
He would never tell me no
He'd be perfect
I thought you were the one
The one I'd be with forever
You'd stay with me
To the end of time
You'd tell me everyday
That I'm always yours
No girl would ever come
And steal you away from me
Cuz
I never thought that you'd do this
Just leave me in the dust
How could she just come out here
And have you leave me alone
Never forget our love
Never forget how we feel
Cuz I though you were perfect
I thought you were the one
The one I'd be with forever
You'd stay with me
To the end of time
You'd tell me everyday
That I'm always yours
No girl would ever come
And steal you away from me"
Sharpay sighs slowly and sits down again, sobbing into her pillow.
That Monday, Sharpay wears tight jeans, a tight camisole, and her hair curled. She wears a tight glare on her face as she saunters down the hallway of the school and to her locker. Although she continues to act like her old self, inside her heart is crushed, and she doesn't know how to survive without Troy. She had devised a plan the night before on how to get back at Gabriella for stealing Troy, but she knows that it's to the extreme.
"Gabriella, I need to talk to you," Sharpay grabs her by the sleeve and pulls her into a janitor's closet.
"What's this about, Sharpay?" Gabriella demands.
"You're going to pay for stealing Troy from me!" she yells in reply, taking out a knife.
"Oh, my gosh. No, Sharpay!" Gabriella screams. Sharpay traps her in a corner, putting the knife to her throat.
"Gabriella?" Troy opens the door and rushes in, Ryan right behind her.
"Oh, no," Ryan murmurs and his and Troy's eyes widen.
"Sharpay!" Troy yells, but Ryan holds him back.
"Be careful," Ryan whispers in Troy's ear. Before Troy can reach Sharpay and Gabriella, Sharpay suddenly drops the knife and falls to the ground.
"Sharpay!" Troy yells as he rushes to her side. She puts her face in her hands and sobs. Troy kneels on the ground next to her and holds her close.
"Gabriella?" Ryan rushes over to Gabriella who had fainted.
