"RYAN!" Sharpay screamed as the sledge hammer came down on Ryan's head.

He bearly rolled out of the way, the sledge hammer smashed a chunk of the curb away as Ryan rolled out of the way and jumped up.

"GO GO!" He shouted, running to the car.

Taylor crammed the key in the ignition as Sharpay threw the door open, but just as Ryan was about to jump in, Triple H threw the hammer at ther back of his knee, sending Ryan rolling.

"LEAVE HIM ALONE!" Taylor screamed.

Triple H drug Ryan up and back handed him across the face over and over untill Ryan's face was literally glowing crimson.

"STOP IT PLEASE!"

Triple H was about to hit Ryan again, who had no idea where he was or what was going on at this point.

Suddenly, his arm dropped in mid air, he cocked his head to the side and slowly looked at Taylor.

He tossed Ryan aside, who was to beaten to even open his eyes.

He slowly aprroached the car.

"GO TAYLOR!" Kelsi and Sharpay screamed, but Taylor was paralyzed with fear.

"Hi." He said, leaning over and tapping the glass.

"Oh look who we've got back here, it's Troy, your lookin much better than the last time I saw ya." He said, smirking.

Troy stayed in his fetal position as Triple H turned his face to look at Ryan.

"That your new boyfriend?" He asked.

Taylor did'nt even blink.

"He's nice, you shold keep him around, since your other boy went out and got shot." He smirked.

Taylor's eyes filled with tears and fear as he stroked her cheek.

"Oh, and you must be Sharpay, I've already met this one." He said, gesturing towards Kelsi.

Suddenlly Ryan jumped on his back and tried to choke him.

Triple H slowly stood up and walked to the side of the car, Ryan still on his back.

"Hold on, gotta get this monkey off my back." He said, slamming Ryan on the hood of the car.

Ryan gasp for air and Triple H grabbed his arms, holding him on his back, as he repeatedly slammed him on the hood of the car.

Taylor suddenly awoke from the trance and started the car.

Triple H looked at her slowly, Ryan still on the hood.

"And just what are you gonna do?" He asked, dragging Ryan in front of the car.

Taylor's eyes narrowed and she gunned the motor.

Triple H grinned.

He tossed Ryan to the side and cracked his neck.

"You gonna run me over?" He asked.

"Do it Taylor." Sharpay said.

"COME ON!" Triple H said as Taylor slammed on the gas pedal.

"DIE YOU SON OF A...no." Sharpay whispered as she and eveyone else was thrusted froward.

Triple was holding the car back, bare handed.

"GO TAYLOR!" Kelsi screamed.

"THE PEDAL'S TO THE FLOOR, HE'S TOO STRONG!" She scremed.

Troy buried his face in his knees.

Smoke poured from the tires as Triple H's veins began to bulge from his arms.

"HE'S A MONSTER!" Sharpay said, as Triple H grunted, still holding the car back.

Taylor released the pedal and the car stopped.

"You...done?" Triple H asked, panting.

"Not even close." Taylor said, suddenly slamming on the pedal again.

Triple H did'nt have any reaction time this go round, he flew over the hood of the car and rolled over the roof, landing on the concrete with a thud.

"GOT HIM!" Sharpay exclaimed.

Triple H stood up.

"You've got the be freakin kidding me." Sharpay said.

But this was far from a joke.

He stumbled around the side of the car and up to Ryan.

"Roll the window down." He ordered.

Taylor shook her head.

"Fine, I'LL DO IT!" He shouted, smashing his own face through the glass.

The three girls watched in horror as he drug Ryan to the curb again, he thought for a second and an evil smirk emerged on his face.

He raised Ryan's face to his and said,"Put you mouth on the curb."

"NOOOOO!" Sharpay screamed.

He dropped Ryan and smirked at the girls.

He kicked Ryan in the ribs and picked up his hammer.

"Put your mouth on the curb." He ordered again.

"I want you to see this." He said, breaking Ryan's ankle with the sledge hammer.

"AHHHHHH, PLEASE...PLEASE...stop." Ryan pleaded.

"You wish." He said, stomping Ryan wrist, breaking that also.

"TROY DO SOMETHING!" Sharpay shouted, shaking him, but he was still in shock.

Ryan lay on the ground, shaking, his hand nearly detached from his body, his bone now visable.

Triple H drug him to his knees.

"Please don't kill me." Ryan pleaded, tears streaming down his face.

"Oh...please don't kill me...SHUT UP!" He shouted, raising the sledge hammer.

Triple H gently ran the hammer across the top of his head and found a spot he liked.

"Look, I want you to see, cause your all next." He said, turning his face away from Ryan for only a second, but that was all he needed.

Ryan threw every once of stength he had left in one carefully aimed punch, right in Triple H's...genetic jackhammer.

"AHHH, BITCH!" Triple H screamed, falling to his knees as Ryan drug himself to the car.

Sharpay rushed out to help Ryan, but before she could reach him, Triple H bashed him in the back of the head.

Sharpay drug Ryan to the car and drug him in.

"GO!" She screamed.

Taylor speed off as Triple H smashed the back tail light out.

He stared at the car as they drove away, sure they were gone, but the damage had been done.

"Ryan, Ryan, come on Ry, stay with me." Sharpay said frantically, stroking his cheek as she tried to revive him.

"Please, stay with me." She said.

Taylor speed towards the hospital.

"Ryan...Ryan..." Sharpay whispered.

Suddenly Ryan sat up, gasping for air.

"RYAN, Oh my god, oh my god, it's ok, your gonna be ok." She said.

"C...c...c..." Was all Ryan could get out, his head fell back in her lap, his eyes were still open, but his world was black.

"Ry...Ryan." Sharpay whipered.

Nothing.

"He's not breathing, HE'S NOT BREATHING!" She screamed hysterically.

Taylor was bearly able to steer the car as Sharpay screamed hysterically in the back.

"Please don't leave me Ryan." She thought

"PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME!" She screamed, unable to hold it in anymore.

Kelsi took the wheel as Taylor turned to look at her fallen love.

"Don't die, please, I need you Ryan, I love you" Taylor said, reaching out and taking his hand.

Suddenly Ryan sucked in the tiniest breath of life.

"He's breathing, GO GO!" Sharpay said, as they raced to the hospital.

"COME ON RYAN, BREATH DAMN IT!" Sharpay said, applying CPR.

Ryan sucked in more oxygen.

"Don't let our Ryan die." Taylor said.

Ryan was taking in steady breaths now as Sharpay rocked him.

"Come on Ry, stay with me, stay with me." She said.

"Troy, are you ok?" Kelsi asked.

Troy just stared at Ryan.

"Why did'nt you help him?" Sharpay whispered.

"WELL?"

Troy buried his hands in his face and cried.

"I...I'm sorry." He choked out.

"I...I'm sorry." Sharpay said, reaching out to him, but he shoved her hand away and pointed to Ryan.

"Ryan." She whispered.

Suddenly Ryan cried out a little.

"H...he's gonna kill me, don't let him kill me." He cried.

Sharpay held him tightly and rocked him.

"He's not gonna get you, your safe now, your safe now."

"No, he's still out there, he's gonna get me."

"No he's not, I promise."

Ryan buried his face in her shoulder and cried.

"Don't let him get me, don't let him get me." He reapeated over and over.

Sharpay rocked him and cried as Taylor raced to the hospital.

"Am...am I gonna die?" Ryan asked.

"No, your gonna live, I promise." She said.

"D...don't let him get me." Ryan whispered on last time before passing out.

"HURRY TAYLOR!" Sharpay said.

Taylor pulled into thr hospital parking lot and raced to the front of the building.

She threw her door open and rushed inside.

"HELP, HELP ME PLEASE!" She screamed as several people jumped up and raced to her.

In only seconds several hospital personale were placing Ryan on a stretcher and racing him inside, it all happened so fast, Sharpay could'nt even follow, she collapsed on the ground and cried.

This was all a bad dream, it was hortible, Chad and Gabriella ha just died three months ago, Jason a few hours ago, now Ryan...her, Ryan.

Suddenly Sharpay found a pair of arms wrap around her and pull her close.

It was Troy.

"I'm sorry." He whispered in her ear as she found a small place of comfort in his shoulder, his arms wrapped tightly around her, he would never let her go, never, she knew that as she cried into his shoulder.

"I...I...c...can't...lose...m...my...Ry...an." She choked out between sobs.

"Your not going to lose anyone, I promise, look at me." He said, gently rasing her chin with his finger.

"Your not going to lose your brother, I promise." He said, looking her square in the eye.

She buried her face in his chest, she wanted to belive him, she wanted to know that Ryan was going to come walking out, with his usual bright smile, and then they could all go home...together, but it did'nt work that way.

Sharpay suddenly shoved Troy away and ran, she ran and ran, she did'nt know why or where, but even when Troy called after her, "Please comeback." she would'nt listen, she covered her ears, and ran, ran from all her problems, into the dark of night.

Troy limped after her but it was useless, his speed was gone, it was hopeless, Sharpay was long gone.

"D...don't...go." He said, falling to his knees, hand out stretched, tears in his eyes, as she diappered into the dark of night.

"What's she doing?" Kelsi asked.

"She's gone." Troy said.

"This is my fault...THIS IS MY FAULT!" He screamed, grabbing his head and squeezed.

"TROY STOP!" Kelsi said, trying to pull his hands from his head.

"NO, GET AWAY FROM ME!" He shouted, shoving her away.

He puched the back window of the car over and over until it cracked and shattered.

"STOP!" Kelsi shouted.

But Troy only hit the car harder, over and over.

Kelsi colapsed on the ground crying, as Troy beat the hood of the car.

"TROY!" Taylor shouted, from the hospital doors.

He looked up, sheer rage in his eyes.

"Where's Shar, what are you doing?" She asked.

"T...Taylor...that's, that's not Troy." Kelsi said.

"Troy..." Taylor said, slowly approaching him.

"NO, LEAVE ME ALONE!" He shouted, turning and walking away.

"TROY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Taylor screamed.

"I'M GONNA KILL THAT MOTHER(beep)!" He shouted.

"NOOO, PLEASE COME BACK!" Taylor shouted.

Troy shook his head and stormed away, leaving it all behind.

Taylor bit her lip, and looked around desperately.

She shook her head and darted off inside of the hospital.

She rushed into the elevator and up to Ryan's room.

"Excuse me, may I help you?" A nurse asked her.

"My boyfriends in there." She said pating.

"Ok, hold on." The nurse said, buzzing her in the room.

Taylor rushed in and began to knock on the door the doctors took Ryan in.

No body answered, she pressed her ear to the door, she could hear someone talking.

"...and afterwards we can replace it with a mechanical component, after extensive rehab that is." One voice said.

"T...Taylor..." The other voice said, this one Taylor recognized.

"RYAN!" She shouted banging on the door.

"Open it." Ryan whispered.

The doctor obliged and let Taylor in the room, who rushed up to Ryan and hugged him.

"I'll leave you two alone for a few minutes, we're gonna need your answer within the next five minutes." The doctor said, walking away and closing the door behind him.

"T...Taylor...they want to amputate my hand." He whispered, a few tears streaming down his cheeks.

"Oh my god." She whispered, talking his other hand in hers.

"I...I don't know what to do...I...I'm scared Taylor."

"Don't worry baby, I'll be right here, the whole time, I promise." She said, kissing his hand.

Ryan looked up at her with his sad eyes, causing her to begin to cry also.

"Don't cry, I'm sorry." He whispered, brushing her tears away.

Suddenly a horrific scream roared down the corridor of the hospital.

Taylor and Ryan both looked up.

"What the hell was that?" She whispered.

"I...don't know." Ryan said, struggling for oxgen.

Taylor slowly approached the door.

"Baby no." Ryan whispered as she opened the door slowly.

Suddenly, the doctors body came sliding down the hallway, a trail of blood left under his, causing Taylor to jump back and land at the foot of the bed.

"T...Taylor...what was that?" Ryan asked.

She shook her head.

Suddenly foot steps could be heard.

Taylor rushed to Ryan's side, and cuddled in to him, shaking.

The foot steps stopped and Ryan and Taylor's eyes grew huge.

Triple H was standing in the door way smirking.
