Author's Note: Hey, I updated fast, so that the burden in my shoulders would lessen. I still have a lot of stories to update, not to mention I also have a life outside In which concerns my academic studies. So don't be expecting fast updates like this one again. And I promise I will be updating for my other stories real soon.

'Sharpay?' Ryan yelled. You could trace the sadness of his voice.

'Sharpay?' Ryan went to her room, knocking softly,

'Ryan?' A very hoarse voice said.

He opened the door slowly, 'Hey.' He softly said.

Sharpay's room was a mess. A trash can was near her, where there were tissues over flowing. Several empty tissue boxes were scattered in her usually neat and large bedroom. Clothes were also scattered.

Sharpay was a mess. Ryan had never remembered his sister this sad and fragile. Even when her favorite grandmother died, never had she been this fragile. To him, she looked as if one more move, and she could break instantly. He had never pitied her before, but now, he did. To lose a loved one was hard, but to drive him away, accidentally? It was pain never before experienced.

'I have something for you.' Ryan handed over the letter.

Sharpay looked at it; inside the envelope she could see Zeke's neat handwriting. She took it slowly, as if it were dangerous.

Ryan looked sadly at his sister, and approached her as he saw the tears threatening to come down.

'It'll get better.' Ryan hugged her, and kissed the top of her head before leaving to give her some privacy.

'What if it doesn't?' She whispered to herself.

Sharpay slowly opened the envelope; she could smell Zeke's perfume which she loved dearly. Her tears still did not fall, but remained stationary on her eyes.

Sharpay,

Hey. I really don't know where to start. I guess I could start by apologizing? I'm sorry I didn't tell you. It was hard. It really was. I never wanted to leave, but you gave me an impression you'll have a better life without me troubling you. And I think you're right.

I couldn't give this to you personally, if I saw you again, it would have hurt me a million times more. And I can't deal with that. It'll just make me want stay more. I understand you know, when you know, broke up with me. What you said was true, we were falling apart. It just disappointed me you know; we didn't fix it, or even gave it a chance. But do you remember what I said? The part about I'll never hate you? It's true, I'll never will. I'll even probably love you forever.

It's not fair I'll end it like this. But I wanted to tell you, I'm probably at the airport right now, my flight is leaving at 8:00. I'm moving to Europe. It is miles away from Albuquerque, so you might not see me-forever. So, yeah, I guess this really makes it official doesn't it?

Since kindergarten, I always had a crush on you. I have you to thank for making my dream come true, even if it was just 2 years. It was the best two years of my life.

I love you,

Zeke Baylor

PS: I'll miss you.

By the time Sharpay had finished reading the letter, she was barging out of her room, towards Ryan's room.

'Ryan!' Sharpay cried out.

Ryan was napping, but was abruptly woken by his sister, resulting to him falling down on the floor. 'Sharpay? What happened?'

'We gotta go; he's-he's leaving. We have to catch him, it's only..' Sharpay took a look at the clock in Ryan's room.

'7:40! Please Ryan!' Sharpay had tears running down; her cries were getting more desperate than ever.

'Okay. But sis, you gotta think, 7:40, 20 minutes left, the ride to the airport is approximately 15-20 minutes.' Ryan reasoned out.

'I don't care!' Sharpay cried, as she ran down the stairs, grabbing her keys with her.

'You're not even dressed properly!' Ryan yelled, following her, and getting inside the driver's seat.

It was true; Sharpay was only in plain pajamas, and a tank top, with fluffy pink slippers.

'Who cares Ryan?! Now drive!' Sharpay furiously wiped her tears away.

Ryan looked at his sister; he knew he had to help her. But what if they did get there in time, does she think she'll convince Zeke to stay? Or had she just wanted to say goodbye?

Ryan drove off, in hopes that after this night, his sister won't be shattered into broken pieces. Cause he can't fix that anymore. He just can't.

'Mom, can I get coffee first?' Zeke asked, it was still 20 minutes till their flight.

'Okay, but hurry up, and buy your little brother some juice or something.' She ordered.

'And a coffee for me too.' His dad added.

'Okay.' Zeke said,

He walked towards the coffee shop. It was a small local shop, not big time like Starbucks or something, but it had a warm comfy feeling when Zeke entered.

And there he was, just waiting for his coffee, when a very distressed blond came into his view. She was wearing a tank top and pajamas, looking like she was just about to sleep. She was closely followed by a tall blond man, looking distressed too.

Zeke couldn't see the face properly, but something in her made him interested. She reminded him of Sharpay.

Then a vast realization hit him, it was Sharpay. 'What the hell?'

He stormed outside the shop, attempting to follow Sharpay.

Sharpay was clearly scanning the room for him. Her eyes searched until they saw Zeke towards her.

She gave out a cry of relief, as she called Ryan, telling him she'd found him.

'Sharpay?' Zeke looked confused, why is she here? She was the one who wanted him to leave.

Sharpay just shook her head, wiping the tears. Ryan was watching them carefully.

She approached Zeke, and kissed him. Zeke melted in the kiss for a second, but was brought back to reality. He pulled back,

'Sharpay.' He was breathing heavily, even though they had only kissed for merely 5 seconds.

'Zeke, please, don't go. I love you.' Sharpay begged,

Zeke stared at her, but then looked at his wrist, finding that it was already, 8:05.

'Shar, I can't understand. We-I thought-you.' Zeke stuttered,

'Zeke please, you can't leave.' Sharpay begged,

'Look, Shar, listen to me.' Zeke put his hand on her smooth cheeks, probably caressing it for the last time.

'I have to leave. You're better off without me, I gave this a whole lot of thought. Please don't make this harder than it is. Just seeing you, it breaks my heart. I can't take this anymore.'

'Listen, I have to go. I'll miss you.' Zeke gave her one last fleeting look, before running off into the crowd.

Sharpay stared, not really knowing what to do. Tears again started to run down her cheeks, but this time, she didn't act strong, she let it flow. She collapsed onto the floor, sobbing.

Ryan was suddenly brought back to reality, and once again picked up his sister and brought her to the car.

'Shar, I'm sorry.' Ryan truthfully said, he had also hoped that maybe Sharpay could make Zeke stay.

Sharpay just wailed even more, letting all her masks fade, and showing her vulnerability and fears.

HSM-HSM-HSM-HSM-HSM-HSM-HSM-HSM-HSM-HSM-HSM

Zeke leaned across the wall of the bathroom inside the plane. He couldn't believe what happened, he was here in a plane leaving for Europe, and Sharpay was down there, in Albuquerque.

'No. She's better off with me.' Zeke whispered to himself, letting cool water from the faucet wash his face.

'I'm going to miss Sharpay, and Albuquerque.' Zeke shook his head, as he left the bathroom.
