Author's Note: Hey, to whoever requested that I change the story from the script…type thing. Well I honestly did consider it, but I've already wrote 32 chapters of the story so far so it doesn't make much sense to just write out the whole thing. But in my other story I'm writing in…normal form. Sorry!
Anyhoo, hope you enjoy this chapter!
Chapter 9: Heartbreaking
Chad: It's about Troy... the thing is... um...Taylor?
Taylor: oh...eh...
Zeke: He's cheating on you Gabriella
Gabriella: excuse me?
Kelsi: He's cheating on you. With Sharpay
Taylor: We want you to know that we're here for you and...
Gabriella: I'm sorry, for a minute there I thought you just said my boyfriend is with someone else
Taylor: I know, but unfortunately its true.
Chad: We didn't know whether to believe it at first. That Lydia girl was the one who told me
Zeke: And then I asked Sharpay and...well…
Gabriella: Oh my god...
She looks out to the sea where she sees Troy swimming among the waves. Her hand clasps round the heart-shaped locket he gave her for her birthday and a small tear rolls down her cheek.
Taylor: Gabriella?
Gabriella: Um, I have to go...um back to my room…
She stands up and runs away from them.
Taylor: Oh that was so heart-breaking
Chad: I know
Kelsi: What do we do now?
Zeke: well maybe you girls should go back to your room and see if she's okay
Taylor: Well she's not going to okay is she?
Jason: It's all gonna work out right?
Taylor: I don't know
Chad: It's not like we're at school and they can just avoid each other. We're on holiday together. They're sleeping in rooms right next to each other.
Kelsi: This is gonna be so hard
Taylor: Oh god, Troy's coming
Troy walks up to them
Troy: Hey, where did Gabriella go?
Chad: Maybe you should talk to her, man
then everyone else got up and walked away leaving Troy soaking wet and wondering what that was about
Gabriella hadn't gone back to her room. She had decided to walk around one of the gardens she and Troy had walked through.
Fourth song: Living Life not Loved
Gabriella:
If memories are meant to be meaningless
Then I guess I'd rather forget
Love is such a painful affair
But still I'm glad we met
He broke my heart once before
and yet I still forgave
But I cant spend my life saving him
Because there's nothing left save
(Chorus)
For the second time in my life
I've realised I'm living in a fantasy
There's nothing left for me to do
But hide away what's left of me
He never loved me and he never will
Why did I be deceived
For the second time in my life
I've realised I'm Living Life not Loved
The idea of her lips on his lips
make me go green inside
Her hand held in his hand
Reminds me of how he lied
Oohh
I cant stand this anymore
I need to get away
Nobody can see me like this
It's better if go away
Leave
(Chorus)
I'm living in a fantasy
Hide away what's left of me
He never loved me and he never will
I'm living life not loved
End of song
Lydia is by the pool, sunning herself and talking to Sharpay
Lydia: I like this game
Sharpay: What do you mean?
Lydia: Wrecking people's lives. It's like having a little dollhouse. Only better
Sharpay: What are you plotting
Lydia: I'm thinking of who else i can ruin the life of...
She smiles widely at Sharpay, who only thinks that maybe, just maybe, Lydia isn't a very nice person
Chad and Taylor are walking through the corridors along to their rooms
Taylor: You wouldn't do something like that, would you?
Chad: something like what?
Taylor: What Troy's done to Gabriella
Chad: No way! You're way too special to me. And plus, even if I did, you're so smart you'd probably work it out anyway!
Taylor: Shut up! (She slaps him playfully)
They get to the girls bedroom
Taylor: Gabriella? Gabriella, are you in there?
Taylor unlocks the door are opens it to find Gabriella packing her things
Taylor: Gabriella! Gabriella, what are you doing?
Gabriella: I can't be around here any longer. I'm leaving
To be continued...
