Note: Here is chapter 3! Exciting, yeah? I own nothing in here, and anything in Italics is Ryan, thoughts, dreams, etc. On with it!

"Sorry you guys have to leave…" Sharpay sighed sadly.
"Hey, don't sweat it, it's understandable!" Gabriella smiled and nodded.
"SHARPAY!" Her mother called from inside the house.
"Coming! Hang on!" She called back and looked at everyone.
"I'll see you later, alright babe?" Zeke said softly, kissing her cheek.
She nodded, "Of course, I'll call you if I can…"
He nodded and walked off with everyone else.
She sighed and slowly walked inside, closing the door. She heard that her parents were in the kitchen so she started up the stairs.
"Sharpay!" Her father boomed and stumbled out, glaring at her.
She froze on the step she was on, tears filling her eyes.
"Turn around…" Her father instructed her.
She slowly did.
"No! Shar! Run! Lock your door!" Ryan called from the top of the steps.
"Look…I'm sorry…" She whimpered.
Her dad grinned. He slowly reached out for her.
She wanted to scream, or run, or even cry, but she couldn't. She was frozen.
He grabbed her arm and yanked her down the steps.
She screamed and fell, her head slamming into the stairs. She closed her eyes, hoping to get the quick-coming headache to leave, but it
didn't help.
Her father looked down at her, grinning his sick grin, "Your worthless…and without your brother here to protect you…" He leaned
over her.
"Get off!" She cried.
He grinned more, "I'll be doing that…Only…in a different way…"
Her eyes popped open and she looked at him, fear etched throughout her eyes.
He slapped her.
He punched her.
He did everything to her…everything.
Once he had his way with her, both he and her mother left.
She slowly sat up and began to cry uncontrollably. She pulled her legs to her chest and buried her face in her knees.
Sure, it hadn't been the first time this has all happened, but it was the first time it happened that she had nobody to run to, not even
Zeke. Even with Zeke she was still…Alone.
"Oh Shar!" Ryan cried, falling next to her, "I wish I could have protected you! You don't deserve that! None of it! I'm
surprised your not bleeding…you took a lot of blows to the head…and your ribs…Oh Shar! Are you alright?"
She winced and placed a hand on her ribs. She jumped when her phone rang and she slowly answered, "Hello?" She tried not to wince.
"Hey, you okay?" Zeke asked.
"Yeah…Perfect…" She said softly.
"Grounded?" He asked.
"Big time…listen I gotta go, I'll talk to you later…" She was getting to where she couldn't breath.
"Oh, alright, Love you…" He said.
"Love you, too…" She said softly and hung up.
He did the same.
"I'm going…for a walk…" She slowly stood and walked off, out the door. She walked to the park and the next thing she knew, she
was laying on the sidewalk, motionless.
