OK, the last post was a mistake. I accidentally clicked the wrong document, so if you read and it thought WTF, then sorry. That was for another story. My bad. Anyway, this is the real chapter and I hope this chapter is fully enjoyed and Sharpay does you all justice. Like I said, one of my favourite chapters. :) Again, sorry. Cheers.
Author's Note- I do not own anything related to High School Musical. This is my plot.
Chapter Five-
Fear. Fear is an emotion or intense feeling of anxiety and apprehension caused by the presence or anticipation of danger. That was the exact feeling Troy was receiving all over his shaking body. The intense fear he was feeling was due to the possible danger of a very pissed off looking, newly-done, brunette wearing a light pink blouse with a black singlet underneath and a knee-length black pencil skirt. And of course to finish the outfit off, a pair of hot pink pair of Manolo Blonichs.
"Sharpay?" Troy felt his eyes widen when he heard his voice crack and squeak in panic and coughed to gain back his regular pitch of voice. "I mean, Sharpay." He noticed how Sharpay was now death staring the honey-blonde in the room and felt his fear heighten. "Sharpay what are you doing here? Is Gabriella ok?"
Once Sharpay heard her best friend's name roll off of Troy's tongue her attention quickly snapped back to the lying bastard before her. "Don't you dare mention her. You have no right to even think about her Bolton. Not after you got caught out with…" Sharpay looked back the shocked and scared girl and felt disgust rise in her then back to Troy. "…that whore."
Delysia stood there in shock and in somewhat her own fear. Once she saw Troy's face pale and his body tremble, she knew that something about this certain woman was terrifying. But when she heard the intruding stranger call her a whore, Delysia felt all her insecurities and fears of what people would think of her arise again. "I am not a whore."
Sharpay shot her head to the girl who had the actual guts to talk to her and felt her whole demeanour change into aggressive mode. "No. You're just the skank who decided to steal another woman's husband. Apparently neither one of you have any morals or value the sanctity of what marriage is. So to me dear, if it looks like a whore and talks like a whore…then you're a whore." Sharpay sent her sweet innocent smile and stood smirking in front of the two shocked lovers.
Troy had been frozen in place for the last few minutes. He still couldn't fathom the appearance of Sharpay. Why was she here? What was she going to do? "Look Sharpay that's enough. What are you doing here?"
Sharpay threw another death stare at Delysia and looked back at Troy with enough hate and disgust as she could muster. "I'm here to see my lawyer." She saw Troy scrunch his face in confusion and knew she was going to have the most satisfying moment in her life once she told him why she was here to see her family lawyer. "Mr Donaldson, you know him, he's head partner right Troy?" She saw him nod slowly and felt the ends of her mouth curve into a smirk. "Well Richard will be helping me with a certain case that involves you and my best friend." Sharpay joyously watched as the colour once again drained from Troy's face and smirked wider to herself.
"You mean Richard is going to represent Gabriella?"
"I told you to not mention her name. You still don't have the right. Nor will you ever again."
"I can do what the bloody hell I want Sharpay."
"Oh clearly. Seeing as you were fucking this bitch behind your wife's back for six months."
"Stop calling her names." Troy didn't want to make the matter worse by having Sharpay hurt Delysia's feelings and then knowing he would have to make her feel better later on. Troy looked towards Delysia and could tell she was torn between standing up for self and having a go at Sharpay or to just maturely walk away. "Look Del, could you please excuse me and Miss Evans. I have a feeling this is going to take a while."
"It won't. But yes, maybe you should leave the adults to yell and scream at each other while you go strut your skank ass somewhere else." Sharpay gave another innocent looking smile and battered her long eyelashes.
Delysia was about to personally shut Sharpay's mouth herself, but told herself to calm down and nodded her head slowly. "I'll see you later Tro-Mr Bolton." She received another death glare from Sharpay and timidly walked out the room praying to God that she would never come across that hateful bitch again.
"Well she is just darling Troy. No really, I see why you had to have her instead of your wife." Sharpay venomously spat.
"Look Sharpay, just stop it. She's no longer here, so stop with the bitchy remarks. I think you hurt her enough."
"Oh like you hurt Gabriella?" She saw him flinch and felt a wave of satisfaction rush through her. "And this is just the beginning Troy. If you honestly thought I was going to let this slide and watch my best friend cry herself to sleep every night because of your pathetic ass, then think again."
Every word that Sharpay spoke was just another stab to Troy's heart. It pained him to hear that Gabriella was so distraught and felt the guilt weigh down more. "She cries herself to sleep?" His voice was low and timid, not really wanting to hear the answer.
"Of course she does. What? You thought she was going to jump up and down and throw fucking confetti? Yeah right Troy. I have never hated someone so much in my life before. Not only were you married to my best friend, but you're my fiancé's best friend. Well…was."
Another blow to the heart. Troy could literally feel the tears burn into his eyes. He wanted nothing more than for her to stop her verbal attack, but both knew he deserved it.
"And the worst part is…you didn't just destroy her Troy. You've completely broken her. I have never ever seen her like this. I want to hurt you so much just so you can feel a small piece of what she's going through. I hope you're happy Bolton."
"You think I'm happy Sharpay? I'm far from it. I hate what I did. I hate not being able to see Gabriella everyday. I hate being away from her. I hate-"
"Not being able to have your cake and eat it too?" Sharpay so rudely interrupted and watched as Troy sighed to himself and sat down on his lounge.
"I know you may not believe this…but…I never meant for this to happen and I'm sorry she got hurt."
"No Troy. You're just sorry you finally got caught. Did you honestly think she would never find out? That you could continue to make love with your wife but fuck some office tart?"
"Sharpay I said enough with the names. Her name is Delysia-"
"I don't give a flying fuck what her name is. To me she is the woman you have been sleeping with behind Gabriella's back. She is the woman you would rather have than Gabriella-"
"Hey. That is not true." Troy had heard enough. Even though part of what Sharpay was saying was true. Why would he continue to sleep with Delysia if he didn't rather her to Gabriella at times? "I love Gabriella. I do. And I would give up anything to have her back."
"Even your slut?" Sharpay saw the slight hesitation in Troy and immediately knew something was different. The she remembered what Chad had told her. "Oh my God. You love her. You love your little office skank."
Troy didn't even try to correct her or tell her otherwise because both knew it was true. "Yes. I love Delysia. I love them both." Troy guiltily looked down to his feet and softly sighed to himself before looking back up to a stunned Sharpay.
Sharpay stood in shock. He loved her. He wasn't just having mind-blowing sex with her, but he was actually in love with her. "Fuck you Troy." She didn't quite know why, but she felt her own tears slide down her face. "I thought you were this Prince charming. I thought so high of you and…I trusted you. I loved you like a brother. And now…I…now I can't even…I hate you Troy Bolton. I really, honest to God, hate you."
Troy watched as her tears continued to fall down her beautiful face and felt his heart break again. Sharpay and Troy became close friends. They all were. They all depended and relied on each other. They all loved each other. It was the four of them against the world. And he just went and fucked it up.
"I hate me too."
Sharpay wiped away her moment of pain and recomposed herself. She took one last long look at a person she really did love and lowered her head shaking it in disbelief and hurt. From now on there was no longer going to be four friends hanging out. No more laughter or jokes to be made. There was just going to be memories of what use to be.
"I have to go." Sharpay walked to Troy's door and opened it just a little and turned back to the teary-eyed man. "You'll never see the people you use to know Troy. From now we'll be complete strangers to you…just like you are to us. Goodbye Bolton."
Troy watched as Sharpay gracefully walked out of his office and out of his life. Just another stab to his already bleeding heart. Troy thought he couldn't take anymore. He watched as Gabriella walked out. He watched Chad storm out. And now Sharpay. There was no longer a circle of friends. A circle of laughter. A circle of love. No. Now it was just a circle of broken promises and soon-to-be distant memories.
And then finally as everything started to hit him over and over again Troy let out his angry, depressed and remorseful tears. His sobs were heard throughout his office. His body shook in pain and hurt. He slid of the lounge and felt as his body crashed to the hard ground and he pulled his legs into his body and rested his head in his hands. This was it. This was the end. And with that final thought Troy cried even harder and continued to until he couldn't any longer.
"I'm scared Chad." Gabriella had never felt so worried or scared before this moment. She had never been in this kind of position before and she had always believed that someone else would be with her. "What if something's happened because of the stress over the past few days?"
The room was making her feel light-headed and closed in. She felt trapped and like there was no way to get out. She wanted to leave. She wanted to be anywhere other than here. She wanted…Troy.
It was late in the afternoon and Gabriella and Chad had been sitting patiently in the small white room for the past ten minutes waiting for her Doctor. Chad had kindly driven Gabriella to her Doctor's appointment.
"Hey. Look at me." Chad pulled her chin up and made sure Gabriella was looking straight into her eyes. "It's going to be ok." He saw her roll her eyes and mentally laughed at her stubbornness. "It's true. This is your child in here." Chad softly placed one hand on her flat stomach and with his other free hand, took a hold of Gabriella's closest hand and tightly squeezed it. "And I know it's as strong as you. I bet you anything…that the little tyke is just trying to gain some attention."
Gabriella's angelic laughter filled the room and she gave a heartening smile. "Chad…it's just a foetus. It has no skills of being able to gain attention yet." Gabriella smiled while she heard Chad's deep laugh enter her ears. She looked down at their joined hands and softly smiled. "I wish he was here." Her words just as low as a whisper.
Chad sighed and knew who she was wishing for. He gave a tight squeeze to her hand and gave her a hopeful smile. "I wish he was too."
Both didn't need to say anything more and both knew that if things were different then Gabriella's use-to-be knight in shining armour would be there holding her hand instead of Chad.
Both were pulled out of their wishful dreams when they heard the door open and close. They simultaneously looked up and saw Gabriella's Doctor Jordan Allan, enter and smiled upon seeing the welcoming older woman.
"How are you doing today Gabriella?"
Gabriella smiled kindly and nodded her head slowly. "I'm quite alright thank you Doctor Allan." Gabriella didn't feel the need to spill her guts over the past few days of her emotional turmoil.
"Please, call me Jordan. You and I will be getting to know each other a lot over the next nine months. So please, none of this Doctor crap."
Gabriella gave a small laugh and smiled back at the friendly light-brown haired woman. Gabriella watched as Jordan turned a few machines and pulled a pair of gloves on. Gabriella slightly jumped from the temperature of the cold gel that was placed around her stomach and heard the soft apology from the working Doctor.
"Ok, let's see what's going on here."
A few minutes later, Chad and Gabriella were staring at the small screen that held the contents of Gabriella's womb. "Where is it?" Gabriella tried to stifle her laughs and looked back at Chad who had his head half tilted trying to figure out what they were looking at. "I don't see it."
"It's quite alright." Gabriella watched as her Doctor showed Chad the small area in which her growing child was developing. Gabriella couldn't help but feel the small flicker of happiness when she saw the small peanut shaped dot and felt her watery tears fall down her face.
Once Chad heard her small sob he turned to see Gabriella with small tears down her face. Being as close as they were Chad knew immediately that they were happy tears. He gave a small chuckle and fake pouted when Gabriella playfully slapped his arm with her free hand.
Soon enough both Gabriella and Chad both felt like they had enough knowledge on pregnancy that they were ready to give birth. Jordan sent for a video copy of the scan a few photos from the request of a screeching Sharpay via the phone.
"Ok. So we're all done here. Now don't forget to come back in next week for your regular check-up and a few more after that, then we'll be in the clear and it should be smooth sailing from then on."
Chad assisted Gabriella from the chair and helped her put her coat back on. Jordon watched the exchange between the two friends and smiled to herself knowing that Gabriella was in good hands.
"Thank you so much Jordan. I look forward to the next appointment. Thanks again." Gabriella sent her a genuine smile and walked out the door to sign some forms out.
"Mr Danforth?"
Chad turned to the call of his name and gave a questioning look towards Jordan. "Yes? Is everything alright?"
Jordan looked past Chad and made sure Gabriella wasn't in earshot and moved closer towards Chad so she could lowly whisper to him. "Please, I'm not trying to overstep myself here, but I feel like I have to say this." She saw Chad nod and let out a breath she didn't know she was holding in. "After Gabriella explained to me what is going on between her and her husband, I just need to make sure that she's going to be well looked after. I saw the interactions between you two and I know she'll be perfectly safe. But the next few months are going to be very stressful on her and the baby, especially as she's going through the divorce. Trust me, I went through one myself and they are a bitch to get through with."
Chad nodded in agreement and gave her a thankful smile. "Trust me Jordan. My fiancée and I are going to do everything to make sure that Gabriella and her baby are going to be fine. I'm never going to let anything happen to her. I made that promise to myself as soon as I found out."
Jordan gave him a pleasing smile and nod of the head. "Thank you Mr Danforth. Hope to see you the next visit."
"You too Jordan. And please, it's Chad. See you next time."
Chad gave a small wave and turned back around to go catch up with Gabriella. He saw her finishing up the last of a form and went and stood next to her. When he was close enough he caught her attention and looked down to see her smile up at him.
"So…what should I tell Sharpay about you and my Doctor whispering to each other?"
Chad laughed a little and shook his head playfully. "That you are in good hands."
Gabriella gave a look of confusion and brushed it off while Chad just sent her a secretive smirk. She signed her name one last time and gathered her purse back in her grasp. She smiled towards the clinic secretary and wrapped her hand through Chad's arm.
"Come on Chaddles. Let's go home."
Ok, I feel like I have to apologize to a lot of you. If I have offended any of you by my story then I really am sorry. I'm sorry if it feels like I'm all trying to make you feel like you have to sympathize for Delysia, to me she just seems partly innocent (to me anyway) in my eyes both her and Troy were borh to blame. I in no way condone cheating. It's happened in my life and I think it's quite horrible. But I also don't judge people for what they do or who they are. Also, this is just a fictional story. I love that you all enjoy this story and tell me what you think, it's the main reason why you're all getting this chapter so quick. But if I do offend any of you, deepest apololgies. All I want is for you to enjoy this, if you hate Troy, you go and hate him. If you hate Delysia, then go ahead and hate her too. I'm glad most of you have told me you hate Troy, I meant for that. Ha. Also, if my writting gets confusing and I repeat myself, I'm sorry for that too. My mind gets completely lost sometimes and I'm also very forgetful. So I repeat what I say. Oops.
Please continue to read this story and enjoy it. Again, sorry for any confusion, annoyance or offence. All your reviews and pm's mean a lot. And just one more thing, I have started college again, and it's still as full on as before, but I will be updating this as much as I can. I had two weeks off and I caught up with most of my work. But I'm terrible becasue I just can't stop writting this story out. Good for you guys, bad for my teachers. Hahaha...ok I'm rambling and getting annoying. Enjoy and review. Cheers.
