Is It Worth Saving Me? Chapter 4: I Need You, a high school musical fanfic

Chapter 4: I Need You

Later that night, Sharpay took a shower and got ready for bed. She towel dried her hair, like normal and peeked in Troy's room. Troy was already asleep in his bed. She walked over and pulled the covers back over him and pushed his hair out of his eyes and whispered, "'Night Troy." He half smiled in his sleep as she walked away and into the guest room. Hours later, Sharpay was being tormented by a dream she felt as if she couldn't get out of. She was being chased by her father down a long hallway with loads of doors, and as she couldn't get any of them open she ran until her father nearly caught up with her. She tossed and turned a called Troy's name into the darkness. Troy woke up, hearing his name and paused. "Troy!" he heard it again. "Sharpay." He said. He quickly went into the guest room. "Sharpay, it's okay, I'm here, wake up." He said, giving her a slight shove. She woke up with a gasp and glanced up at Troy, trying to catch her breath, as she began to cry and threw her arms around his neck and cried on his shoulder. "My dad….he…I.." she said. "Don't worry, it was just a dream," he said, stroking her hair, and jostling his brain for something to say. "You're going to be fine, I'm here." He said. Sharpay looked up at him and nodded. Troy wiped the tears from her eyes, and looked down at her, "Don't worry about your dad, look, we have auditions in the morning, try to think about," he paused, finally finding the perfect thing to say, "how we are going to rock as the leads in Grease." Sharpay smiled, but then got a highly inquisitive look on her face, which Troy knew what was about to come out of her mouth. "What about Gabriella?" she chocked. "Um, we kind of, well, broke up, around two weeks ago." He replied. "I'm sorry, Troy." She said. "It's fine, now go back to sleep, and remember the audition." He said. "No, Troy," she said, grabbing his wrist, "Don't leave, I need you, I can't be in here by myself." She said, nearly in tears. Troy saw the real hurt in her eyes, and sat back down in the bed. "Thanks Troy." Sharpay yawned, before falling asleep. "No problem." Troy said, pushing a piece of hair out of her eyes. The next day, Troy woke up to the sound of thudding across the floor. "What on earth." He said, scratching the back of his head in confusion, and noticing Sharpay wasn't where she used to be. He got up and found Sharpay rooting through her stuff, and tossing shoes down into the floor. "What are you doing?" he yawned. "I can't find my silver ballroom shoes." Sharpay said. Troy bent down and started gathering the pairs on the floor and handed them back to Sharpay. "Why do you need those?" he said, cluelessly. "Because they are my audition shoes." She said. "Whatever." Troy said, "I'm going to…" He got cut off by Sharpay exclaiming, "I found them!" and clapping her hands happily. "Great, I'm going to get ready for school." Troy said, giving her a strange look as he went in his room , "Girls." He muttered. Later that morning, Sharpay and Troy went into homeroom. People of course were asking where Ryan was at, and Sharpay simply stated, "He's sick, with mono, he'll be back eventually." Troy raised an eyebrow that Sharpay even knew the effects of mono. He got out a piece of scrap paper and scribbled down.

Nice disease. A long one too. You were prepared.

Troy

He balled up the note and hurled it at her head. She turned around and lowered her eyes as she picked it up and opened it.

She got out her pink, rhinestone covered pen and wrote in pink ink-

I read about it while I was doing my health assignment yesterday, I figured it was a nice excuse.

-Sharpay

She was about to ball it back up when she remembered something.

P.S. Don't ever throw a piece of paper at my head again.

Then, she threw it back at him.

Later during free period, Sharpay led Troy to the dressing rooms. "I take it you still have the key to, yours." She said, pointing to the door labeled: TROY BOLTON

"Uh…" he said, checking the front pocket, "Yes." He pulled out a gold key.

"Good, I'll be out in five or ten minutes, and Jason has my phone." Sharpay said. Troy nodded and then said, "Why does Jason need your phone?" "Because it has a built in mp3 player and he can play the song through it." Sharpay said as she went into the dressing room. Five minutes later, Troy and Sharpay were in their wings ready to go. As Ms. Darbus addressed them, Jason hit the play button, and Sharpay and Troy walked to center stage.

Follow me into my world
Let your worries fade with every
step you take
Baby whatcha' waiting for
Let the tango take control
Feel the music inside your soul (woah)
My hand is out, just grab a hold

Watch time just fade away
My arms will keep you safe
Baby it's just you and me
Dancing in this dream

Whatever you do, don't wake me up
I know the feeling's real I won't let it
stop, no

CHORUS
don't be afraid, take my hand
Forget the world
Will you dance, dance with me
Pudemos bailar eternamente
Trust in me, take a chance
Feel the Tango
Will you dance, dance with me
Podemos bailar eternamente

Now I have you next to me
Everything is how it should be (oh ya)
Baby, don't fight the feeling
We're floating on a clouds
If I could, I'd never come back down (oh no)
Baby just keep on moovin' groovin'

As time just fades away
My arms will keep you safe
Babe it's just you and me
Dancing in this dream

Whatever you do, don't wake me up
I know the feeling's real, I won't let it
stop, no

Dance with me
(I'm dancing with you)
For this moment in time
(My dreams have come true)
My darling just dance with me
If for only one night

CHORUS
don't be afraid, take my hand
Forget the world
Will you dance, dance with me
Pudemos bailar eternamente
Trust in me, take a chance
Feel the Tango
When you dance, dance with me
Podemos bailar eternamente

At the end, Troy had Sharpay in a dip. "Don't drop me." She muttered, trying to keep smiling and looking as if she didn't say anything. "Excellent, Bravo, Brava!" Ms. Darbus said. When they were done, the curtains closed and Sharpay ran to Troy. "That was awesome!" she said, "You are actually like, 50 times better than Ryan, I mean, seriously." Troy smiled, "Thanks, you were awesome too, and if it weren't for you, I wouldn't know how to speak that Spanish part." "Podemos Bailar Eternamente." Sharpay grinned as she went into her dressing room. She couldn't believe she was saying this, but Sharpay has found herself falling in love…..with Troy Bolton.
