A/N: Ok, thanks a bunch for all of you that reviewed! Glad you like it! Now here's chapter two! Hope you like it. Please, please review and let me know. Thanks.

Sharpay walked into her house and sat down in the couch next to Ryan.

"Hey. So how were your acting classes?" Sharpay groaned as she recalled her class.

"That bad huh." Ryan said as Sharpay nodded.

"She kept ratting on me because she said my voice was hoarse like if I was crying before." Sharpay said as she sighed again.

"So why were you this time?" Sharpay snapped her head back to Ryan.

"Who-Who said I was?" Sharpay answered quickly. Ryan sighed as he got up and went upstairs.

"Sharpay, you really have to stop. Just think, what would dad want?" Sharpay stared at her brother, as he disappeared upstairs. She let a single tear fall as she walked up to her own room.

Troy was shooting some baskets and missing every single one. He just couldn't concentrate and get Sharpay out of his head. How lonely she looked sitting there in the auditorium crying. And why had she thought of him? Of all people, him. It was getting dark and he decided to go in and shower, still having the thought of her fresh in his mind.

Troy was in his room sitting on his bed, still thinking of her and no matter how hard he tried to get her out of his mind, it wasn't working. He got up, but on a sweatshirt and climbed out his window to go for a walk.

He walked for about five minutes before getting to a familiar house. All the lights were off except for one on the second floor. He couldn't help himself and decided to climb up to Sharpay's balcony. He stood in a corner and listened as he heard her talking to herself.

"Stupid acting teacher, stupid song, stupid dad, stupid….Troy Bolton." She sat on her bed and began to cry again.

"Dad, I know I have asked already many times, but please, I need someone and I can't take this anymore. Just please." She brought her knees up to her chest and rested her head on them. Troy felt even worse than he had before. He knew that Sharpay's dad had died when they were freshman, but that was because they announced it in school so everyone would be "nice" to the Evan's twins. But he never knew that Sharpay was apparently close to him. Come to think of it, he really never knew anything about Sharpay except where she lived and that she was the "Ice Queen". Troy was lost in thought he didn't realize that he stepped on a branch and caught Sharpay's attention. He was broken from his thoughts when he heard Sharpay scream.

"Bolton! Geez, you scared the crap out of me. Wait, what are you doing here?!" Troy searched his mind for an explanation.

"Where you spying me?" she didn't even give Troy the chance to answer.

"That's illegal Bolton! I can call the police! Because it's not right of you to have heard me crying about my dad who isn't here anymore or complain about anything and everything or cry about you and…and…" she started to cry again. Troy walked over to her hugged her.

"Troy, don't. Let me go please. I can't have my heart broken again. Please, let me go!" she screamed through her tears as she hit Troy in the chest repeatedly but he didn't even flinch or let her go, he hugged her harder as she continued to scream at him.

"Troy please! Let me go! Let me go! Don't let me go." She said as she cried harder into his chest. Troy picked her up bridal style, walked over to a chair she had on the balcony and sat down with a crying Sharpay on his lap.

She dug her face harder into his chest as he rubbed her back.

"Shh Sharpay. It's ok. I'm here." Sharpay looked up at him with wet eyes.

"Please don't leave." Troy looked down at her and wiped her tears.

"I'm not going anywhere." He rocked her back and forth as she stopped crying.

Ryan ran to Sharpay's room when he heard her screaming, but stopped when he saw Troy hugging her as she hit him. Then he say him carry her to a chair. He faintly heard him say he wasn't going anywhere.

Ryan walked back to his room with a smile on his face.

"Thanks dad. That's all she needed."

Sharpay has stopped crying, but stayed in the position she was in. She sighed, which caught Troy's attention. He looked down at her and brushed a strand of blonde hair out of her face.

She looked up at him. "Why Troy?" he smiled, knowing exactly what she meant.

"Why not?" was his responds and it was enough for her. She wrapped her hands around him as he held her protectively.

"Thank you." She whispered. He looked at her and there eyes locked. He leaned down at kissed her. Softly, but it still made Sharpay melt. She kissed him back while wrapping her hands around his neck and his still around her waist. Sharpay pulled away and leaned her forehead against his.

"You know, I knew that I always loved you, I was just too big of an idiot to admit it to myself." Sharpay smiled and then realized what he had said. Troy kissed her again and looked at her.

"I love you Sharpay. I have since I met you. I knew the Ice Queen act was just that, an act. But I didn't want to admit it to myself. Then Gabriella came and I thought she would help me realize that I was wrong about you but she just made it more evident. Every time I saw her, I wished it was you. I guess I just realized it now and I'm glad I did." Troy intertwined their fingers and Sharpay decided she could finally tell him what she has wanted to tell someone.

"Troy, you don't know how long I've been waiting for you to say that." She sighed and Troy squeezed her hand, letting her know it was ok. She smiled a small smile and continued.

"It was hard growing up because my mother always wanted a boy and that was it because she said all girl were spoiled and she couldn't handle them. Well, when she found out she was pregnant with twins she got happy because the stupid nurse said they were both boys. But when I came out two minutes after Ryan and they said I was a girl, she cried tears of sadness. She said it 'was her worst nightmare come true'. So Ryan and I grew up with me always pushed aside. But I had my dad there to push me right back in. I still don't understand why, to this day, he married my mom. They were polar opposites. My mom into work and Ryan and my dad a huge family man, always was looking out for both of us. Every time my mom would say something to me, my dad would get pissed at her and come to my room and tell me to forget her. 'It was just that she had a bad day at work.' Funny how she only had bad days when she was around me. It really got bad when I told them I wanted to go into drama. When Ryan said he wanted to, my mom was all happy. But when I said it, my dad was the only one who told me to go for it, to never give up on my dreams. But my mom would always tell me I was horrible, or to ugly or fat or whatever she could come up with to make me cry. But I ignored her thanks to my dad. He was the only one who ever really loved me. Then he was in the accident." Sharpay began to cry as Troy wiped her tears away and rubbed her back.

"He was coming home one night after work and I called him because I wanted to tell him I got the part in my first high school play. And he told me 'Congratulations sweetie. I told you, you could do it'. And the next thing I hear is my dad hitting the brakes and the tires screeching and a crash." Sharpay was crying harder now and Troy just held her tighter.

"He was hit by a drunk driver and died on impact. The policeman said they found him with his phone in his hand and my number was the last dialed. So my mom tells me to this day that it is my fault dad died. She doesn't even talk to me anymore. Ryan tries to help by telling her it wasn't my fault and to talk to me, but she won't budge. And no matter how hard Ryan tries, he's not my dad. He's not the one who ever really loved me in this family. He's not the one who told me to always follow my dreams no matter what anyone says. He's not the one who would write 'Love mom and dad' on the gifts even though I knew they were from him alone. And he's not the one who told me no matter what, he will always be there and that he will always love me. I mean, Ryan tries and I love him dearly for it, but he's just not dad. No is or ever will be. But I knew that and asked my dad desperately to send me someone who does love me for me and will be there for me." Sharpay looked up at Troy.

"And he answered me." She leaned up and kissed him gently. She pulled away and laid her head on his chest. Sharpay yawned as Troy looked at his watch.

"Someone's sleepy?" Troy asked as she closed her eyes and nodded her head yes against his chest. Troy stood up with Sharpay still in his arms and went into her room. He placed her on her bed.

"You're leaving?" Sharpay asked as she sat up and he sat next to her.

"I have too, if not, my mom will freak and we have school tomorrow." Sharpay looked at Troy with concerned eyes.

"I won't tell anyone anything and I'll act like nothing ever happened but on two conditions." Sharpay looked worried but nodded.

"One, you show everyone the really you before graduation." Sharpay sighed but nodded.

"Good. And two." He leaned down and gave her an earth shattering kiss. He pulled away and looked at her.

"I get one of those every night." Sharpay nodded quickly. Troy laughed as he walked to her balcony with Sharpay behind him. He jumped over the railing and gave her a quick kiss as he climbed down. Sharpay leaned over the railing and watched him walk home with a huge smile on his face. She smiled and looked up to the sky. It was full of stars, but there was one twinkling very bright. Sharpay's smile grew wider as she whispered "Thanks Dad" and went to bed with a smile on her face. Something she hadn't done in a while.
