Chad's voice was unexpected giving Troy Bolton a start as his blue eyes shot up to meet the brown ones. "Uh, no, not really." Troy managed to choke out while collecting his thoughts and spoke again before the curly haired boy could.

"Why did you lie to me?"

The brown eyes narrowed to hide any shame and guilt that were threatening to show themselves through the glinting orbs, but Troy still caught it easily and stood up from the bed to let Chad know he meant buisness.

"About what?"

"About everything!" Troy's voice was strong and didn't hint any wavering as he took a daring step toward his best friend. "How Gabriella and I broke up like 5 months ago and how I'm…I'm…"

"Queer?" Chad finished the sentence and folded his arms across his shirt blocking the witty saying on his brown t-shirt and frowned. "You want to be gay? Fuck dude's up the ass?"

"Well if I am…gay, then yeah I guess I do. That's not your problem Danforth, its mine." Troy wanted to cry as he pulled his bottom lip into his mouth to keep the tears in ten turned away shaking his head staring at the window. It seemed forever before Chad's hand relaxed on the golden boy's shoulder.

"Okay, you're right. My medling was immature, stupid and very un-brother like." Chad's voice was soft as he spoke. "If you want to like guys, fine, but just don't hit on me."

The apology was quick, but sincere as Troy glanced back at his friend and gave a smile with a reassuring nod before taking in a shaky breath.

"Who was I dating before the accident?"

There was silence between both jocks, one wanting an answer and the other clearly thinking the answer through.

"I can't tell you. He told me not to say a thing. His exact words were "if he turely loves me like he said he does, he'll remember on his own"."

Troy's heart sank in disappointment and sorrow since he couldn't remember who it was. Did that mean he didn't love his boyfriend? No, his heart seemed to ache at that thought as Troy turned to Chad.

"Then help me remember." He begged as his sea blue eyes watered up. "Please? It's the least you can do."

Chad didn't need to think about it for one minute as he gave a reassuring nod and clasped Troy on the back giving him the okay he was waiting for.
