Disclaimer : I don't own anything..except the idea, that is mine, im so proud:)

Over the last few days Troy and Sharpay had talked alot, if she wasn't at school everyone knew that she was visiting with Troy. One specific day when she was walking in to see him Rick stopped her in the hall " Can I talk to you after you're done visiting with Troy?" Sharpay looked confused but nodded " Sure." Rick smiled " My cell is two across from Troy's" Sharpay smiled " I'll be there as soon as our visit is done." with that she turned and walked down the hallway to Troy's cell. As soon as he saw her he smiled and got up " Guess what?" Sharpay walked to the bars " What?" Troy smiled brightly " Me and Rick talked the day guard into letting you come into the cell." The guard came over and unlocked the cell and Sharpay walked inside " You have one hour." he said with a slight smile closing the door and locking it again.

Troy went and sat down on his bed with Sharpay following him " So," he said turning to look at her " Did you decide whether you were going to audition for the musical for one last year or not?" she shook her head " No...I havent decided yet." Troy smiled " I think you should." Sharpay looked at him confused " Why?" he smiled again and took her hand " Because you can, you can do whatever you want, you know you'll get the lead, I know you'll get the lead, everyone in the school knows it, so what do you have to lose?" Sharpay shrugged " I just don't think I can." Troy layed back against his pillow " Then do it for me, my dying wish if you want to put it that way." Sharpay was quiet, Troy, the guy that beat her out for a musical a year ago was telling her he wanted her to do it. " Ok." she said smiling " I'll do it." Troy grinned and gave her a hug. They spent the rest of the time talking until the guard told her that her hour was up.

She left Troy's cell and went two cells down and saw Rick lying there looking at the celing. " What did you want to talk about?" she asked. Rick sat up and motioned for her to come closer. When she did he stood up " Today is my day, in other words in about 45 minutes I'm going to go into that room and they're gonna give me the lethal injection." Sharpay nodded shocked " Ok" " I wanted you to know that Troy is an awesome guy, one that doesn't deserve to be where he is right now, and we both know it. I can't make you change your mind about telling the cops, but I do want to ask you a favour. Sharpay stood there waiting for him to continue " I..don't have anyone I know that's going to be there today, Troy can't go because, well obvious reasons..would you be there? Just so i can know that somebody is there for me?" Sharpay's eyes started watering and she nodded her head " Sure, I'll stay here until it's over." Rick smiled " Thanks, Troy was right about you, you are an awesome person." Sharpay smiled slightly and went to wait for everything to begin.

40 minutes later Troy was sitting on his bed reading when Rick came up to his cell with two guards behind him. " Hey mate." Troy stood up " Hey, is it your time already?" Rick nodded " Yeah, but it's been a long time coming so I was ready for it, look I just wanted to tell you that you've made my last little bit here bareable, you kept me positive and you gave me someone to talk to. I probably would have lost it a while ago if it wasn't for you." Troy stood there quietly " I'll never forget how positive and upbeat you were despite everything. I wanted to thank you mate." He held out his hand and Troy took it " It was no problem, I'll never forget you, I'll probably join you soon." Rick sighed " I hope not mate, I really do." they shook hands again and the guard lead him out of the room.

Inside the white sterile room they prepped Rick by putting an IV into his arm and getting it all ready. As he was lying on the table he looked around but couldn't see anything because the lights weren't on yet. The priest came up and said something, Rick wasn't really listening and then the guard said something " Do you have anything you want to say?" Rick looked up and saw Sharpay " I hope people learn from my mistakes and make the right choices in their lives." The guard nodded and they pushed a button, the first tube started emptying and Rick felt his body going numb, then the second tube and he felt really tired, he looked up at Sharpay, smiled weakly and closed his eyes. The third tube emptied and the doctors pronounced him dead. A few minutes later the stretcher with his body covered up went past Troy's cell and he looked down the hall and whispered " Good-bye Rick."
