Disclamer: I own nothing.

Face Down

Hey, girl, you know you drive me crazy
one look puts the rhythm in my hand.

"Stop crying. Get up you good for nothing piece of shit. Get up!!!" Jason Cross hear as he walked to his locker after basketball practice. SMACK!! Jason hurried up as soon as he heard that to go help whoever needed it.

Still I'll never understand why you hang around
I see what's going down.

Jason stopped at the corner astonished at what he saw: Ryan Evans kicking his girlfriend Kelsi Neilson in the stomach repeatedly. "What the hell!!! When did this all start." As soon as Jason made to move, as if Ryan had heard him, Ryan quickly stop hitting Kelsi and ran down the hallway shouting at her to not tell anyone.

Cover up with makeup in the mirror
tell yourself, it's never gonna happen again

Kelsi sat up and wiped the blood off of her lip. "Kels." Jason said coming around the corner, not wanting to scare the girl sitting on the floor. " Jase, hey. What are you doing here." Kesli asked trying to clean her self up. "Why did you let him do that to you Kels." Jason asked sadly.

you cry alone and then he swears he loves you.

"He didn't mean it, he was just mad. I love him Jason, and Ryan loves me." Kelsi said madly. " If that loves than I guess Troy hates Gabriella, or Zeke hates Sharpay." Jason spit back. "I can't tell anyone Jason, understand please." With that Kelsi stood up and quickly limped to the door to get to her car.

Do you feel like a man when you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?

Jason heart broke as he watched the girl he loved limp out of the door, blaming himself for this happening. If only he'd asked her out sooner, she'd never of said yes to Ryan. He mentally beat himself up and vowed to help her.

Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end
as your lies crumble down, a new life she has found.

Kelsi walked into the school the next day with Ryan acting like nothing happened, she say Jason and quickly adverted her eyes. Jason look disappointed and this didn't go unnoticed by Ryan.

A pebble in the water makes a ripple effect
every action in this world will bear a consequence

Ryan came up to Jason that day in free period. "You know, you shouldn't feel bad for her she deserves it." He told him. "What!!" Jason exclaimed. "How could you think that. She's one of the nicest, sweetest, most loving people I know." "Awww… isn't that cute, lunkhead basketball man has a crush on East Highs composer." Ryan said. "You don't deserve her." Jason shot back. " But, I got her." Ryan threw over his shoulder walking away.

If you wade around forever, you will surely drown
I see what's going down.

As Jason left school that day, he was trying to thing of way to help Kelsi. She didn't deserve that. He thought to himself. Jason didn't realize where his feet had taken him until he look up to see he was in the park.

I see the way you go and say you're right again,
say you're right again
heed my lecture

Hearing yelling he look over by the swing just in time to see Ryan push Kelsi to the ground. "And that's for telling Jason." Ryan yelled, just as he stepped on Kelsi wrist making a sicken snapping sound. Ryan smirked down at Kelsi laying on the ground grimacing, and walked away. As soon as Kelsi saw Jason come over she got up and ran away.

Do you feel like a man when you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?

Seeing Kelsi walk in to school the next day with a cast around her wrist, telling people that she tripped, was the last straw for Jason. He decided that today would be the day he did something about it. During free period he saw Kelsi enter the music room and quickly followed her.

Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end
as your lies crumble down, a new life she has found.

After listen to her play for a few minutes he decide to make his presents know. "Why Kels. Why do you let him." Jason asked from behind Kelsi. The girl looked up startled.

Face down in the dirt, she said,
"This doesn't hurt", she said,
"I finally had enough."

"And don't give me that cock-and-bull story again. I saw what happened in the park." Jason walked fully into the room now and sat beside Kelsi on the bench. "He doesn't mean it. He just looses his temper sometimes." Kelsi reasoned. " Bull shit!! He broke your wrist Kelsi. He stepped on it and snapped it. That not loosing your temper. Why do you let him do that to you." Jason yelled.

Face down in the dirt, she said,
"This doesn't hurt", she said,
"I finally had enough."

" He apologizes afterwords ever time." Kelsi whispered. " But he still does it Kels." Jason said softer this time. " I know." Kelsi replied.

One day she will tell you that she has had enough
it's coming round again.

"Then why Kelsi you deserve so much better. You're a kind, sweet, loving girl. Any guy would kill to go out with you." Jason told the girl beside him. " But not the one I want." Kelsi said.

Do you feel like a man when you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?

"What!" Jason exclaimed. "Kelsi if that guy doesn't like you then his probably just a loser. I can go beat the guy up if you want me to." Jason tried to make the girl laugh. She cracked just a little smile.

Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end
as your lies crumble down, a new life she has found.

"I think you'd have a very hard time doing this." Kelsi told the boy. "Why?" Jason questioned. "Your very close with him." Kelsi replied.

Do you feel like a man when you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?

"Who one of the Wildcats?" Kelsi nodded. "Well I guess I'll just have to talk to them then." Jason said still oblivious to what Kelsi was trying to get at. "Well then you better go look in the mirror and talk." Kelsi said.

Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end
as your lies crumble down, a new life she has found

As Jason heard that he slowly comprehened what Kelsi meant. Him!! Kelsi like him!! Jason couldn't believe it. It was like a miracle. "Me."

Face down in the dirt, she said,
"This doesn't hurt", she said,

"It was always you. But, it okay I know you don't like me like that. Its fine." Kelsi mumbled quickly. Snapping back into reality, Jason could believe his ears. Pulling Kelsi to him, minding her arm, he hugged her tightly. "Oh Kels. How could you believe that. I've always loved you. Always. I thought you didn't like me." Jason said into her hair. "I just said yes to Ryan because I thought you didn't like me." Kelsi replied, slightly muffled by his chest. "Not possible." Jason said pulling away and giving Kelsi a sweet kiss on the lips. "Not possible at all."

"I finally had enough."

A/N: I know it was a little out of character for Ryan. And sorry about all of Jason cussing. I thought it turned out okay. Please Review.
