I Trust You- Chapter Two

Sharpay raced down the hall. The door to Ryan's room was wide open. Sharpay could see her father standing where Ryan and the bookcase had once been. The bookcase had been knocked over and books were scattered everywhere. Sharpay ran into the room. Their father was mercilessly beating his fist into Ryan. Sharpay ran up behind him and grabbed his arm.

"Stop it! Dad! You're hurting him! Stop!"

Richard Evans shoved Sharpay away. She tripped over a book and fell to the ground.

"Shar!" Ryan exclaimed. He pushed past Richard and made it over to Sharpay. "Are you hurt?"

"Richard!" A voice came from downstairs. "Your pancakes are ready!"

Richard left the room. Sharpay sat up.

"Are you hurt?" Ryan repeated.

"Of course not." Sharpay sighed. Their father was pounding his fist into Ryan, but all Ryan cared about was Sharpay. Ryan smiled.

"Are you almost ready to go?"

Sharpay eyed him nervously. "Are you going to be ok?"

Ryan smiled again. "Of course. It doesn't hurt."

It doesn't hurt. Of course it hurt. Sharpay wasn't stupid. Ryan had been saying that since the first time their father hit him; he didn't want her to worry. Ryan stood up, wincing slightly from the pain. He helped Sharpay up and turned away from her, wiping his eyes quickly.

"Are you ready to go?"

Sharpay sighed and nodded. 'At least it's the last day' Sharpay thought. She was always worried someone would find out at school. When they did, everyone in the student body would know, and they would get sent to foster care, or even worse, split up.

Sharpay walked back to her room and grabbed her bag. She met Ryan in the hallway and they quietly made their way downstairs. Richard was busy eating his pancakes and reading the newspaper to notice them go by. They went out to the garage and climbed into the car. Soon they arrived at East High School, ready to face another day.

Ok, sorry it was so short! I'll make up for it with a longer chapter next time. My little sis wanted on, so I figured "Well, thisisn't a bad place to stop; they arrive for their last day of school, who knows what'll happen there."

Anyway, please read and review!
