Chapter 14 – Break-ups and New Friends

It had been a few weeks, since Troy and Sharpay's break up. They'd had no contact, Sharpay had seen to that. Troy had tried countless times to ring her, text her and then everyday for the last week he's sent her flowers. Tulips, her favourite. Sharpay had cried even harder when she saw them. She'd only told him once and yet he remembered. So yeah, your all probably thinking Sharpay should just get over the past and get back together – Sharpay wanted that too. Every time she saw his caller I.D., she very nearly picked up and always just as she was about to – it cut off. Every time he'd text her, she was typing in a reply but then thought it sucked so deleted it and the message. She kept the flowers though and all the photo's were still up not to mention her screensaver was of her and Troy. So every night she would just stare at the picture, wishing she had the strength to call back. She hadn't slept much either since that night, if she did they were just of memories she wished she could forget although she'd also had the odd dream, that always left her waking up in the middle of the night crying.

It was just another High School Reunion. Except Ryan was there to and Troy. When she would all walk in, they would all stare at her menacingly and when she needed Troy, to help her, to stop them. He would turn away from her and hug Gabriella and kiss her and hold her, the way he held Sharpay. Ryan would look at her with disgust and Taylor, Kelsi and Martha would laugh at how her life had turned out. Alone and no one wanted her. Pushing away the only man she had ever, truly wanted herself. Gabriella would smirk at her and repeat the very speech from that night.

Troy didn't want you he wanted me…

I was better than you…

Even then he didn't want you…

A fake, blonde haired bitch…

Your own brother hated you…

It wasn't the first time either, she replayed during the day, whilst she was at work. She had also frozen a few times on her TV show. Especially when one fan asked if Troy Bolton had gotten a girlfriend yet.

"Who knows?" Sharpay said, trying to laugh it of. The image of Gabriella and Troy kissing from her dream would vanish either. She still didn't understand what Gabriella was jealous of. Gabriella was married, happy and most probably soon to be expecting. Sharpay wasn't married, at least not yet and by the way Sharpay looked at it, she wouldn't be. She didn't want to be with anyone but Troy. Sharpay cried herself to sleep that night and every night to come.

Troy lay in bed that night, thinking about Sharpay. What was she doing? Was she thinking about him? Had she moved on? Did she never want to see him again? He prayed that she did. He couldn't stand it, not even being with her right now, not being able to hold her or kiss her. He wanted her back so badly. He knew that what Gabriella had done and said was wrong but he also knew that Sharpay needed to let go of the past. She needed to forget the person she used to be and focus on the person she was now. A nice, loveable, pure, gorgeous woman that she had become. And he knew that she would need his help for that, if only she would accept it. Didn't she want him? Of course she wanted him! She would have told him she loved him if she didn't. He knew that she didn't want to break up with him. He didn't know how he knew, it was just his heart telling him, and he guessed either that or he just couldn't let go. If it were the end, it would take him a while to get over her.

Troy couldn't stand just lying in his bed, just thinking about the prospect of him and Sharpay being over for good. He got out of his bed, grabbed his jeans and a shirt and made his way to Sharpay's. He was going to fight for her. He didn't care if it was 3 o'clock in the morning, there was no way he was going to let Sharpay leave him at least not for something as petty as the past.

He banged on the door, knowing that she was a tough sleeper so that a simple knock wasn't going to do. He heard Sharpay make her way downstairs.

"Alright, Alright. I'm coming. Good God, its freaking 3 in the morning!" Sharpay swung open the door, powerfully with a forceful look on her face it soon disappeared though as she saw Troy, completely drenched from the rain. "T-Troy! What are you doing here?" She stuttered and blushed at the fact that she was only in a skimpy nightie although he'd seen her in a lot less than that. Giving the circumstances, he couldn't help but think she looked more beautiful then ever apart from the fact her eyes were puffy.

"I, erm…wanted to see you." Troy said, slightly shivering. "I need to talk to you Sharpay!"

"Do you really need to do it at 3 o'clock in the morning?" Sharpay said, a little annoyed but somewhat pleased he had turned up at her house. Troy put his head down at the thought of what the time was, she was right but he wasn't going to go home now. He looked at her again. Longing to reach out and touch her.

"Yes." Was all he said, Sharpay looked stunned but however stood aside and let him inside. He looked at her confused. She shrugged.

"Well, I'm not going to let you stand outside and freeze to death am I? I know I used to be a cold-hearted bitch and all!" Sharpay said, sarcastically. Pissed of at the look he gave her. Just because they were over didn't mean she couldn't care for him anymore did it? She stormed into the kitchen, flicking on the kettle, not even bothering to ask him if he wanted a cup of tea and just went ahead getting two mugs out. Troy couldn't help but notice the fact that she wasn't wearing a bra and couldn't help but think about the fact that she may not have been wearing any underwear either. He coughed when he noticed what the cold had done to her breasts. He had to hide a smile and remember where they were in their relationship at the moment or rather if they even had a relationship at that possible moment.

They both sat in silence, just drinking their tea, both wanting to break it and yet neither of them wanting to. Afraid of what may come or may be said in case they did. Sharpay breathed in loudly, wanting to go back to bed but wanting to stay in Troy's presence. The smart and most obvious thing to do would just take Troy to bed with her but she couldn't do that anymore.

"Look, Troy…I think I know why you are here." Troy looked up at her, his eyes staring into hers as if pleading her to love him and take him back.

"Is it that obvious that I want us to be together?" Troy chuckled to himself and once he looked at Sharpay, he saw a flicker of a smile on her face. Her hair was all messed up and was her make-up. She still looked beautiful though, Troy found himself thinking.

"Troy…" Sharpay began.

"Please, don't say it. Don't say its over between us Shar!" Sharpay avoided Troy's eyes and didn't say anything. She didn't want it to be over but something was just holding her back.

Troy's heart sank; he had to accept it although he didn't want it it was over between him and Sharpay. Without another word uttered, Troy left Sharpay's house and headed on back home, a tear in his eye.

Troy was practicing for his Basketball game when she came to visit him, he couldn't believe it. He certainly didn't smile at her. She didn't wave at him either; in fact she bowed her head in shame. Good, she deserved it. He finished of his practice, showered and got changed. He didn't rush for her, in the past he probably would have but not this time.

He headed right out the changing rooms and through the lobby, all set to ignore her and somehow hoping she wouldn't notice he was there. No such luck.

"Troy?" Her voice sounded timid, like she was scared. Troy stopped and turned to face her, she looked embarrassed. "I just wanted to deeply apologise about that night. I had no idea what came over me!" Troy, merely just looked to the ground as if he couldn't care less about her apologies. She'd cost him his relationship. "H-how is Sharpay?" Gabriella asked, genuinely concerned and worried for her once past 'enemy'. Troy finally decided to speak.

"I wouldn't know!" Gabriella looked at him confused.

"What do you me-"

"She broke up with me." Troy said, cutting her off. He wasn't in the mood for her innocent-type questions. He wasn't in the mood for her. She gasped.

"Oh Troy. I'm so sorry!" She reached out and lightly touched his hand. He flinched and pulled away, giving her a glare.

"You should be." She heard him mutter. Gabriella looked pained and somewhat upset. She hadn't meant for her speech to take a turn for jealousy and insults. She didn't even mind Sharpay. Even after the way she had treated her throughout High School, Gabriella had always – and still did admired Sharpay. If anything, she was one of the very few who had believed there was good in her!

"Troy please let me explain. I really don't know why I said all that stuff! I didn't even mean it! Please believe me!" When she saw Troy's expression stay the same 'go bore someone else with your pleading look' she almost gave up. "At least, let me take you for coffee, so I can explain?" Troy looked at her as if she was insane, coffee was the last thing he wanted to do with Gabriella Montez. She smiled lightly at him but then it faltered. Before he knew it, Troy found himself muttering the word 'okay'.

"Here…" Gabriella gave Troy his coffee as he gladly took it, Gabriella sat opposite him. She gently smiled but he didn't return it. She opened her mouth but then closed it, afraid of what to say. Troy breathed in loudly just like Sharpay had that night. It broke his heart just thinking about them not being together anymore. He was pulled out of his thoughts however when Gabriella had finally decided to stop wasting his time. He could have been at home looking at pictures of Sharpay or something.

"Like I said Troy. I am really sorry!" Troy looked coldly at her. "I don't know why I did it, I don't even have feelings for you anymore Troy! I'm happily married, I guess its just when I saw you too together, I couldn't help but think. Why? You know…I guess it was just another thing for me to be jealous over Sharpay for." Gabriella carried on silently, shrugging her shoulders. Troy's expression softened, he understood that she was jealous. To be honest he thought that was why she did it in the first place. The idea of her still liking him didn't even occur to him and he was thankful she didn't. "Gosh, I feel terrible about the way I treated and embarrassed Sharpay! And those things I said about Ryan. He didn't hate her! He never did! All he did was praise her and just told everyone that they didn't understand her as well as what he did. I hope I haven't made them fall out!" Troy winced and look of pain overcame his face. "What is it Troy?"

"The reason Sharpay was so…hurt by what you said was because…Ryan died." Gabriella gasped and held her head in her hands.

"Oh My…I feel terrible! I cant believe- Gosh she must really hate me!" Troy shook his head and said quietly.

"No, she doesn't." Gabriella noticed how upset and pained, Troy was over the break up between him and Sharpay. Its all your fault…She thought. She stood up hastily, grabbed her bag and headed for the door. "Hey! Where are you going?" Troy called out to her, confused at what she was doing.

"I'm going to get an appointment with Sharpay! So I can apologise." Troy grinned at her and Gabriella lightly smiled, a little surprised but nevertheless made her way to Sharpay's work building.

"Hi can I help you-" Sharpay stopped as soon as she saw the person in front of her, she blushed. "Taylor? What are you doing here?" Taylor looked down, her hands soothing her baby bump.

"I guess I just wanted to say sorry!" She smiled and Sharpay smiled back. She noticed some co-workers looking at the girls with interest.

"Why don't we go into my office!" Sharpay guided the overly pregnant woman into her office, sat her down and offered her a drink. Taylor politely declined and Sharpay sat opposite her.

"So yeah, I wanted to apologise. I had no idea Gabriella was going to say those things. I knew something was up with her."

"Taylor, what on earth have you got to apoligise for!" Sharpay laughed. Taylor smiled and breathed.

"So your not mad at me?" Taylor asked.

"What is this? Like kindergarten? Of course not. You didn't do anything to make me mad!" Sharpay giggled as Taylor's facial expressions were changing.

"That's great Shar, because I really want us to be friends!" Sharpay stopped smiling and sat there, stunned. Taylor wanted to be friends with her? Sharpay? Sharpay couldn't believe it, she immediately grinned the biggest smile she had in a long time, jumped up and hugged Taylor.

"Wow, Oh My God…I would love it Tay!" Taylor grinned too, hugging her new friend back. Her back when stiff and Sharpay pulled away, confused. "What's wrong?" Taylor began breathing in and out heavily.

"I think…the baby is coming!" Sharpay laughed and grabbed her phone.

"Yeah, ambulance? My friend is having a baby!"
