Chapter 10: Reactions

The park
Ryan's eyes widened in shock. He opened his mouth to speak, but couldn't find the words. She looked at him with expectant eyes, desperately waiting for some response. He looked into her eyes, and she held his gaze, but he quickly turned his head away. Gabriella could feel her whole world come crashing down at her feet. His promise of standing by her was the only thing giving her strength, and now it was all being pulled from beneath her.
Ryan couldn't look at her. He didn't dare turn around.
Gabriella fought back the urge to cry. She gently place her hands on his face and made him face her. "Ry? Ryan, please. Please say something."
He looked at her still trying to figure out what to say, or what to do. Then he finally said something. "Gabriella, I-"

Some street
This was the first time Sharpay had ever had to walk home. And it was defiantly not at the best time either. She seriously felt like shit. She was only remotely aware of what she was doing, and felt like she was going to black out soon. There was no way she could make it all the way to her house. She needed help, and fast.
Sharpay did her best to find her cell phone. Although her head was spinning, she managed to find it, and dialed the only number she could think of. It was ringing, but still no answer. She was beginning to loose her balance, and everything seemed to slowly fade away. She couldn't fight it anymore, she didn't have any strength left in her. Then everything went black, and she collapsed onto the sidewalk.
She lay there on the hard cement, her cell phone still in her hand, when he finally picked up.
Troy: Sorry Shar, couldn't find my phone. What's up?
(silence)
Troy: Shar? Are you there?
(long silence)
Troy: Shar?!
And then the line went dead.

The park
"Gabriella I-I'm still going to keep my promise."
Gabriella let her tears fall freely and threw her arms around Ryan. "I was so scared. I thought you were going to leave me." She kissed his face, and then kissed his lips. She had never felt so happy! She was going to have a baby with the man she's in love with. Love? Do I love him? I thought I loved Troy. No-no don't think about that right now. Right now it's just Ryan and me-and our baby.
"I'll never leave you." Ryan kissed her forehead and held her in his arms for a long time. They sat in silence, simply enjoying each others presence.

Hayden's car
The past couple of weeks had been agony. Hayden wasn't stupid. He knew that he needed to give Sharpay some space-otherwise she would just hate him more, or kill him… Either way he was doing his best not to get too close to her. As much as he wanted to be near her, he knew that that wasn't the way it worked.
He didn't feel like going to basketball practice today. Going would mean three hours of having to listen to Coach Bolton and his idiot son bossing him around. That was something he didn't plan to get used to. At West High he was the team captain, and now he was just another player.
Instead of going to practice he just decided to drive home. But there was so much fucking traffic! He was seriously considering getting out of the car and walking to the east side of town. Apparently there had been an accident of some kind because there was an ambulance and two police cars crowding the street. He sat in his car listening to music for the next ten minutes, until he couldn't stand it anymore. He took the keys from his car, and walked out. At this point the didn't really care if they towed his car…
He was walking near the accident, so just out of curiosity he decided to go see what happened. He got closer and saw two paramedics putting a girl onto a stretcher. I think I know that girl. It took his brain a while longer to realize that it was Sharpay they were putting in an ambulance. He panicked and started running towards the ambulance. One of the policemen saw Hayden and came after him. Hayden was about to reach the ambulance, when the policeman caught him by the arm.
"Just where do you think you're going young man?" he asked in an assertive tone.
"I have to go! I have to see her!"
"I'm sorry but we only let relatives in the ambulance."
Hayden really wasn't in the mood to negotiate. "Please sir, I don't have time for this!"
"How do you know this young woman?"
He was going to say he was her brother, but they would probably make him prove it. "She's my girlfriend. Please, I need to be with her." he pleaded.
The desperate look on Hayden's face must have convinced him, because he let him into the ambulance. Hayden rushed in to see her. Sharpay was strapped onto a stretcher and the paramedics were putting an oxygen mask on her. He kneeled at her side, and took her hand into his own. "I wont let anything happen to you. I promise." He kissed her hand, a single tear running down his cheek.

Albuquerque Hospital
Hayden was sitting in the waiting room with his face in his hands. It was killing him to just sit here and wait, while the girl he was in love with could be dying. As much as he begged, they wouldn't let him in. She had been in there for an hour already! He was growing more and more desperate by the minute.
He remained sitting there, when he felt another presence. He looked up and saw that it was the same policeman that had let him go with Sharpay.
"How is she doing?" he asked Hayden.
"I don't know." He said in a low voice. "They wouldn't let me in with her."
The officer felt bad for Hayden. He could tell that he really loved his girlfriend.
"Wait here. I'll make sure you can see her."
Hayden's face immediately lit up. "Thank you."
He nodded and made his way over to the front desk.
"Excuse me ma'am, I'm officer James Danforth. Could you please tell me what's going on with miss Sharpay Evans?"
The receptionist started typing something in her computer. "Well, she's defiantly here… but, there's nothing here regarding her current situation."
"Could you please find out for me?"
'Of course. One moment. I'll get the doctor." She picked up the phone and called for someone to bring the doctor. "It'll be just a minute now."
"Thank you ma'am."
"No problem."
Officer Danforth walked back to where Hayden was standing. "The doctor should be here soon. Oh, and I almost forgot why I came. We found this lying next to her, and she was holding her cell phone in her hand." He said and handed him Sharpay's purse and sidekick.
"Thank you Mr.-"
"Danforth."
"Mr.Danforth. Really, thank you for everything."
"You're welcome." He put a reassuring hand on Hayden's shoulder. "Don't worry. I'm sure she'll be fine." And then he walked away, leaving Hayden by himself.
Hayden opened Sharpay's phone so he could call her brother. On the screen it said that she had 5 missed calls. All from the same person-Troy Bolton. Just as he was about to chuck the cell phone out the window, he remembered why he needed it. He scrolled down her contacts list until he found Ryan's number.

Gabriella's house
Ryan and Gabriella were sleeping peacefully in her bed, until Ryan's phone went off and woke them up. Ryan lazily felt around Gabriella's nightstand for his phone.
Ryan: Hello?
Hayden: Is this Ryan Evans?
Ryan: Yeah…Wait, who are you and why do you have my sister's phone?
Hayden: My name is Hayden Rosner. Look I don't have time to explain, but Sharpay is in the hospital-
Ryan: What!
