The next day Ryan was acting strange, and kind of avoiding Melissa and everybody found this strange.
Gabriella and Melissa were discussing the matter when Ryan came over to them.
"Oh hey Ryan." Melissa said.
"Um could we talk? Alone?"
"Oh a yeah sure."
They went into Ryan's bedroom.
"Now Melissa before I tell you this next thing, you need to understand that am I completely serious about this. Understand?"
"I understand."
"What is he doing?" Melissa thought.
"I, I want to give up Broadway."
"What!"
Outside…
Sharpay, Zeke, and Gabriella were trying to listen in.
"My guess is he either proposed to her, dumped her, told her he's seeing someone else, or told her something really bad." Zeke said.
"Quiet!" Sharpay and Gabriella said.
Back in the room…
"Why Ryan? Why are you doing this?"
"You, and this whole trip. Every time I see you it's hard for me to remember that it's almost impossible to stay together. Every time I perform its hurts to remember you're to going to be there. If you are suffering as much as I am, please tell me."
"I can't... We can't... It's not possible for us to do this."
"Anything is possible, Melissa, listen to me."
"No you listen! We live in a real world, come back to it. You're on Broadway I'm... I'm a rancher. If you follow your thoughts through to conclusion, it will take us to a place we cannot go, regardless of the way we feel about each other."
"Then you do want this!"
"I will not let you give up your future for me!
"You're asking me to be rational. That is something that I know I cannot do. Believe me, I wish I could just wish away my feelings, but I can't."
A/n: That part was originally from Star Wars II: Attack of the Clones. But I changed it a bit.
"Well there's nothing a can do about it. I'm not going to let you give up you're. You told me your self. You've wanted this since before you needed two hands to show your age. This is your dream."
"But Melissa…"
"NO! If the only way to stop you from doing this is breaking up with you, then we're broken up! Do you understand!"
"Yes. But still…"
"I guess we're broken up."
"Fine!"
"Fine!"
Melissa up and went out the door. She was so mad that she didn't even hear Zeke, Sharpay, and Gabriella all say OW!
They all realized that something bad just happened. So Sharpay went to talk to her brother, and Gabriella brought Melissa into her room to talk to her.
"Melissa? Are you alright?"
Melissa cried on her shoulder.
"What happened?"
"Me and Ryan broke up."
"What! Why?"
"He wanted to give up Broadway for me and I didn't want him to do that, and we ended up breaking up."
"It's ok. It's ok."
