Brain Drain

Chapter Eleven

The Truth Will Out

Ryan had been concerned about Sharpay pretty much all day, and he had thought about her a lot. He wasn't exactly sure what to do about all this; she was so happy now, how could he mess that up for her? But on the other hand… he didn't want to lie to her anymore. He wanted to come clear and tell her about it. The lies were suffocating him, and he couldn't handle it. It was horrible.

And it didn't make it any better that him, Kelsi and Gabriella had gotten together after school to do a project they had together, but that the conversation only in a matter of seconds had gone to the matter of Sharpay. It made him feel so stupid that they could do something like this to her. Kelsi and Gabriella shouldn't be able to either… they did care for her. In some way.

"…and really," Gabriella finished her tale off, looking directly at Kelsi, "I already knew Troy and I weren't going to be together forever, but there's something weird about this. Sharpay has something to do with it; I just know it."

Kelsi gave her a weird look, "I get that you're concerned, Gab, but I still don't see how that's possible. Sharpay's not even at that stage yet. She hasn't evolved that far." Kelsi drummed the top of her pencil onto her paper for a few seconds, "It's just not possible; she's not that experienced."

Ryan cringed. It sounded like they were talking about an experiment on something. It would have been cool enough had it been a robot, but it wasn't! It was his sister, his own flesh and blood, and she was human, and she had feelings. He wouldn't be able to handle this anymore. He'd have to talk to her, he'd… he'd have to tell her. Otherwise he'd lose his mind.

Gabriella bit her lip in thought, "Well maybe she has grown the last two years overnight, Kels." She suggested, a slight twinkle in her eye, "You'd never know, I mean… she did lose the Barbie."

Kelsi sighed and leaned back in the chair. She threw her pencil on the table and rested her hands behind her head, "Sure… It could be a possibility, but I just don't think that's it…" she was deep in thought for a few seconds and Ryan just watched; hoping she'd somehow come to same realization as him; that they had to stop, "I'm just afraid she might never grow up for real if she doesn't have her real memories."

"Oh come on, Kels, of course she will!" Gabriella said, but she did look a bit worried.

Ryan just stared at her too. They had to stop this… they had to un-fix her, and therefore fix her. To make the good girl go bad again. They had to; he couldn't lie to her forever.

"No…" Kelsi said, and leaned forward again, resting her elbows on her knees, "It's karma, Gab. It's the real thing, we… we're ruining something for someone else. She was meant to find someone perfect for her, she was meant to fall in love and someone was supposed to fall for her too. But now that we've changed her past… we might have changed her future too."

"Well of course we have!" Gabriella said, and stood up, dramatically throwing her arms into the air, "We already knew that would happen, Kelsi! We wanted a sweeter Sharpay; someone who'd be our friend! That's why we did this; don't act like you're so surprised!"

Ryan had to agree with Gabriella on that one; they'd known this would happen, but that didn't make it any less horrible. It was wrong that they did this, and it'd come back to bite them in the ass, he could feel that.

Kelsi stood up too, ready to fight Gabriella on her point of view, "Sure, Gabriella, we knew we'd change Sharpay's future and past… But we might have ruined something for someone else too." The small pianist argued back, her face was red, and a run-away curl bounced across her cheek beneath her hat; she really cared to make things right, Ryan could see that, "How can you live with that!?"

Gabriella took in a deep breath and stared at her friend, "Well, we'll just have to, Kels…"

Kelsi stared helplessly back at her, "I'm not sure I can do that." She stated, and her blue eyes were full of nothing. She looked exactly like Ryan felt; he'd given up and so had she. Gabriella sighed too, and let her arm fall. An awkward silence came between the three of them.

Ryan sat in his chair, breathing softly in and out. The two girls stood on either side of the coffee table, Kelsi was breathing heavily, her chest rising and falling, and Gabriella just stared into nothing and swallowed a huge lump in her throat.

Then a loud bang was heard from the hall and the three of them turned their head to the side, to find Sharpay standing in the doorway, tears trailing down her cheeks, and out of breath. And then Ryan knew… something had happened. It had backfired. Something in their 'brilliant' plan had gone wrong, and now they had to pay the price…

Sharpay lifted her head and looked at them. Her brown eyes were filled with hurt and fear and she took a step into the room, dropped her bags to the floor and sniffed. "What does 'still' mean?" she asked them, voice clear in the room, even if she had just been crying, "What does it mean?"

Ryan stood up from his seat and stared questionably at her, "What do you mean, Sharpay?" he softly asked, afraid to really know the answer, "What happened, sis?"

Sharpay stepped closer and turned to Gabriella, "I had a very interesting conversation with Troy." She said, and Ryan feared what had happened between the two of them. He'd noticed how Troy seemed to act around Sharpay and he hadn't taken that as a good sign. But if they had talked… everything could have happened. This wasn't good, "He tried to kiss me." Sharpay finished, voice low.

A flash of hurt came across Gabriella's face and she took a step backwards; away from Sharpay. "Ho- how could you do that… to me?" she got out, staring Sharpay right in the eye. Her own brown ones were filled with pain, and Ryan knew she had been right; something was between Troy and Sharpay – he just wasn't too sure if Sharpay was a where of that herself.

Sharpay clenched her jaw, "He tried to kiss me, I said." She firmly pointed out, her eyes set straight on Gabriella still, "But I pulled away, and… and he told me I was still in ice queen." She swallowed loudly and now Ryan knew what this was all about, the 'still' thing, "What does 'still' mean?" she wanted to know.

Gabriella's eyes went for Kelsi's, who just stood there, hopelessly watching as it all rambled down around them. They'd have to tell her. They couldn't work their way out of this, Ryan knew it. They had to tell her what they had done and hope that she would forgive them and listen to their reasons and hopefully take it into account once she started remembering the real things.

"Tell her." Ryan firmly said, looking first at Kelsi, who just nodded, and then at Gabriella, who closed her eyes for a few seconds, before she opened them again, full of tears.

Sharpay's eyes went from one to another, and couldn't seem to rest, "Tell me what?" she hoarsely asked them.

"Sharpay…" Gabriella begun, and took this on herself; decided that she should spill, "When you hurt your head and we realized that you couldn't remember these past years, we did something horrible…"

"Something very, very horrible." Ryan added.

Kelsi nodded, "I just want you to know that Ryan didn't want to do it; he didn't have any say in this!" she said, staring briefly at Ryan, who smiled thankfully at her.

"What did you do?" Sharpay wanted to know, and Ryan could see that she was nervous; she feared the worst, and he didn't blame her. They did look like they had committed a crime, which he, actually, would say that they almost had. It was bad, definitely.

Gabriella took a step closer to the blonde girl and opened her mouth to speak, "We decided to change your past, Shar…" she said, and already there, everything seemed to fall into place for Sharpay; she gasped and stepped away from them, hand on her mouth; she was shocked, hurt and full of questions. Her eyes flickered between the three of them, and Gabriella continued, "You weren't the nicest person in the world before, you weren't a good friend." The Latina said, voice firm, even if a few tears spilled down her cheeks, "And we wanted the old Sharpay back – the one they all knew before high school, so we did this…"

Sharpay's voice was shaky when she turned to Ryan and said, "What really happened at the winter musicale, Ry?" she wanted to know, "I didn't just give Troy and Gabriella the parts, did I?"

Ryan shook his head in defeat, "No, sis…" he begun, "You didn't."

"You tried to sabotage their call-backs." Kelsi chipped in, her glasses glistening weirdly in the sunlight coming through the window, "But they won, and you didn't take the lost too well… you hated them ever since. Well, except Troy."

Sharpay sniffed again, "So what about summer?" she continued, now looking at Gabriella again.

The Latina's face fell, "You wanted Troy to come work there, but he got everyone hired. At the talent show… you wanted to sing with him, but you were afraid that we, the workers, would win, so you made sure we wouldn't be able to be in it…" she paused and stared Sharpay directly in the eye, "You almost ruined our summer, and Troy told you off… You hurt Ryan…"

Sharpay gasped again and turned her eyes, so full of tears, towards Ryan, who just stared right back at her, and nodded slightly. He had been hurt back then, but it was unbearable to see her like this; he wished they had never lied to her; this was too much, he couldn't handle it. His own sister hurt so much just because of him.

Kelsi sighed heavily, "So we all remembered the good old you, Sharpay… and we wanted her back, so we did this. The ice queen is what Chad used to call you."

"But it has been so great!" Gabriella quickly said, trying to get her to see the positive side of everything, "It's been so awesome to have you as a friend, we want you to be like that… If you ever do remember, can't you just be sweet?"

Sharpay shook her head, blonde hair moving furiously around her, "I – I can't look at you right now…" she chocked out, voice quivering like never before, "I – I do-don't even know what to… say to yo-you." She stepped backwards until her back hit the doorframe, "I can't believe you. I can't even believe Troy would do this… that he would be able to live with himself and be with me, when I'm not… me."

Gabriella stared at her, "I'm gonna talk to him, Sharpay! He's been stupid." She said, a serious look across her face; Ryan was glad that at least she didn't blame this on Sharpay; she blamed it on Troy.

Sharpay bit her lip, "You've all been stupid." She said, before her eyes turned hard and she spitted, "I don't ever wanna talk to you again! Leave me alone!" she firmly said, before she pushed herself away from the wall, hurried out of the room and up the stairs. Ryan didn't even bother to follow her, he heard her door smack and the lock click.

He then turned to his two friends and found that his own cheeks were wet too, "Shit…" he mumbled and let himself fall back into the chair.

"We're gonna have to do some damage control." Kelsi quickly rambled off as she started to gather her things, "I'm going to talk to Chad and Taylor."

"And I'm gonna go yell at Troy." Gabriella added, as she started to get all her things off of the table as well.

"Hey, wait a minute!" Ryan said, when the two girls were on their way out of the room, Kelsi stopped to turn to look at him, but Gabriella just continued out of there, eager to take her anger out on Troy, "What am I gonna do?" he wanted to know.

Kelsi stared upwards when a clonk was heard from Sharpay's room, "You're going to get her to talk to you." She firmly said, "I'll swing by later to talk." She finished with, before she shot him a reassuring smile and was out of there too.

--

The minute the front door to his house smacked first open, then close, Troy was so sure that it was Sharpay who had come to yell at him for kissing her, to set him straight, so he was actually very surprised when it was Gabriella who marched into his living room.

"What the fuck do you think you're doing, Troy!?" she demanded to know. Her curls were bouncing all over the place, she had her hands on her hips and the big vein in her forehead popped disgustingly out (which he, luckily for him, had only seen a few times before).

Troy dropped his History book on the table and while looking straight at her, fumbled for the remote and after wrongly haven grabbed his half eaten grilled cheese sandwich, he eventually got the TV turned off. He had a feeling that this wouldn't be pleasant, and he couldn't help but focus on the big vein, and it wasn't good at all, "I was doing my… homework." He mumbled and tried not to blink when the vein popped out and seemed close to burst through the skin on her forehead.

"Not funny!" she told him, eyes blinking rapidly. He actually had no idea what he was supposed to think he was doing, but he had known all along that it wasn't the homework thing that bothered her, because well… why would it?

He crossed his arms across his chest and stared right up at her; she looked so intimidating because she was actually taller than him when she stood and he sat, "Then…" he slowly begun, and finally ripped his eyes off of the vein and locked them with hers, "enlighten me, please?"

The look across her face didn't change one bit as she took a step closer to him, "You totally blew our plan, Troy! First of all, you kissed Sharpay when she's still not recovered yet and feels much younger than you, and second of all, how could you do that when we just broke up!? Sharpay and I are friends, how could you think it wouldn't go back to me!?" she was talking quickly and he was sort of scared, but he just looked at her in wonderment.

So yeah. Alright, it wasn't the most clever thing to do to kiss Sharpay. But he had been so sure that she would be okay with it, for it seemed like she liked him too (she always had, right?). And maybe he hadn't thought it through completely because of course Gabriella would know when she and Sharpay were such close friends. It was only natural that Sharpay would tell her whether she was disgusted or happily surprised.

He blinked a few times before he stood up to be more on level with his ex-girlfriend, "Okay, my turn to do the first and second of alls, alright?" he hadn't expected an answer, so he just continued on with his speech, "First of all, you need to breathe Gabriella, I can't have you passing out in my living room floor. My mom will find it weird when she returns, and second of all," he continued, as Gabriella seemed to take in a deep breath and actually listen to him (even if she wasn't amused), "second of all I wasn't trying to hurt either of you, but I really do like her."

Gabriella seemed much calmer now when she looked at him and there was almost a sense of understanding in her eyes. She took a seat in the couch and he sat down next to her, waiting for her to reply. She turned the upper part of her body around slightly and gently placed her hands in her lap, "You do, Troy… you do," she sighed, "but Sharpay's not ready for kissing and what more. She's still so young – barely a teenager, and oftentimes girls so young doesn't want that with a boyfriend. They want to occasionally hold hands and they giggle every time they talk to boys. There's always the first kiss, but Troy… I think you really crossed a line."

Troy stared at her as she stopped speaking and looked at him with huge eyes. She was right, he knew that. He remembered his first kiss with Sharpay and how it had been after. They had liked each other a lot back then. But before they kissed, they were just like friends, and sometimes, when he'd try to talk to her alone, she'd start to giggle and blush and scratch the ground with her feet – just like any girl that age would do. He just hadn't been able to control himself today. He had fought his urges for so long and finally just snapped and kissed her…

He'd probably screwed things up a lot.

"I…" he stopped speaking because he simply didn't know what to say.

"Yeah, you're stupid, Troy! Just admit it." Gabriella mumbled and stared at him with a stern face; she really wasn't kidding, this obviously meant a lot to her, upset her a lot, and he was really curious to know if it was because he liked someone new or if it was because she felt bad for Sharpay, "And you know what the worst part of it was?" she then wanted to know with a knowing smile across her face.

Troy blinked again, "No." he said, as if she thought he was stupid, "But I'm sure you're going to tell me." He finished and smirked slightly. He didn't know what it was with her, but she annoyed him to no end right now; she obviously had one thing she wanted him to say, and if he didn't say exactly that, it'd be wrong. So why didn't she just tell him straight up? He honestly didn't understand her most times.

She shot him a death-glare in annoyance, but told him just the same, "You used the phrase 'ice queen' which was really not cool, Troy. We've been hiding exactly that from her, and you go right ahead and blow it. Straight to her face." She shook her head in disbelief before she continued, in a soft voice, "She was so confused when she got home, Troy! And we had to tell her, of course we had to tell her, and she got so mad, and she…-"

Troy swore his mind stopped listening to her after she used the words 'we had to tell her'. She didn't mean that they-? They hadn't told her, had they? They hadn't said to her that they'd been lying to her since she got out of the hospital? How stupid could they be! They… they should have made up some lie instead, figured something out. If she knew then… then he'd never have a chance with her, she'd hate him forever.

It seemed like Gabriella might have realized that he wasn't listening for she had stopped talking and was now looking at her with a very concerned wrinkle across her forehead, "Troy?" she questioned and reached a finger out to brush his hand, "Troy? Are you listening to me?"

He could feel that his eyes were wide when he looked at her, "You told her!? That wasn't a fucking part of the plan, Gabriella!"

Her mouth fell open, he had offended her, "Yeah, because this is my fault, Troy, God!" she stood up again and now had the height advertence once more, "You're so stupid, you are! Seriously! You could've kept your mouth to yourself and this wouldn't have happened. Ryan's at home right now trying to get Sharpay to come out of her room! If one of us ruined this, it was you."

Troy knew she was right since technically he was the one who started this, but he'd never admit that to her face, so he just hoped Ryan had luck with his plan, "I really don't want to talk to you, Gabriella." He said in stead and stood up, while he pointed at the entrance to the living room, which led to the hallway, which led to the door, "It's that way, you might want to leave."

She shook her head at him again and sighed heavily; apparently she gave up. She turned around on her heel and marched right out of there, in the same angry way that she entered. Troy just fell back onto the couch with a heavy sigh. This wasn't good. How would he ever get Sharpay now?

--

Ryan helplessly knocked on the door for the thousandth time.

"Sharpay…" he whispered into the wood, "Open the door, please? I need to speak with you."

There was no response from the other side. He could only hear faint music and the sound of sobs, and it hurt him because he hated to know that she was in there alone, crying. He wanted to be there for her, and be the perfect brother he always had been. They had always been there for each other and he was always there with a shoulder when she really needed to cry. And he'd always sworn that he would never deliberately hurt her; and still he had done this. He should have stood firm on what he first wanted to do when he told the guys to stop it. He shouldn't have let himself be so easily convinced. He hated himself for it right now, he really did.

He let his arm fall down to hang limply by his side, and let his forehead rest against the door instead in desperation, "Shar please… you're my sister, I'd never hurt you, I love you…" he took a small pause and he could honestly feel tears well up in his eyes, and he didn't want to let them fall, "I wanna make this up to you, please hear me out. I don't know how Chad and Taylor got me convinced, but they did, and I've regretted it ever since, and…"

He looked down when a note was slipped to him beneath the door. He was sort of surprised but also really happy because at least that was some communication from her side after three hours of him begging her to open the door. He bent down and picked up to find a small note written there in her penmanship.

Ryan,

Please leave me alone. I need time to let this sink in. I think I'll eventually be able to talk,

Sharpay.

He sighed again and folded the note into a small square, still looking at her door. He'd give her time if it meant that she would talk later, he'd be able to live with that, "Come get me then." He mumbled into the door, and as he turned to leave, he swore he heard a,

"Thank you."

…Sharpay turned the music down while she listened to Ryan's steps from the hallway as they faded out of earshot. She didn't really know how to feel about him right now. She loved him no matter what, but she couldn't believe he'd let something like this happen to her. Since they were young they had always promised to watch out for each other and protect each other, and yet he let something like this happen to her. She couldn't understand how he could do it to her, it was weird.

And how her friends could too! Some friends they were.

She didn't want to see them now, she didn't. She couldn't take this, she couldn't… She couldn't live like this now. What if she never remembered what had happened these past five years? What if the information they had given her had screwed her up so badly that she'd never remember the real stuff? It would be horrible to go through life like that and she couldn't comprehend that it was actually happening to her.

She had no intentions of speaking to Ryan; and it had already sunken in. She didn't want to see either of them ever again, she hadn't lied earlier. She just needed release, and she needed to get away from it all, get away to somewhere where she could be herself and feel at peace.

She knew exactly where that place was.

The note she had written earlier, where she also wrote the note she slipped beneath the door to Ryan, was folded nicely and she placed it on the table in place beneath a picture of her and Ryan from the Twinkle Town musical. She stared at them for a few seconds and let her finger brush gently across Ryan's face.

"I love you, Ryan." She whispered, before she reached for her car keys and turned off the light. The last thing she did before she got out of her window in her usual way, was unlocking the door, just so Ryan would be able to get into her room once he started worrying about her.

--

"…and Chad and Taylor just said that maybe we should all sit down and talk to her and explain why we did it." Kelsi finished with twinkly eyes. Ryan had gotten the entire story of her meeting with Chad and Taylor earlier, and apparently they were really sad that Sharpay had gotten so hurt, and now they wanted to make it alright so their friendship wouldn't be ruined.

Ryan nodded and offered Kelsi a smile, "That's good, I think she'll agree to that once she's calmed down much more." He glanced briefly at the big clock on the wall in the kitchen, where they were sitting with each a cup of lemonade and a plate of cookies; it was almost twelve o'clock, Kelsi would have to leave soon to make it to bed today, and he still hadn't seen or heard from Sharpay. It was really worrying him and he'd soon have to go up there and look for her.

Kelsi smiled at him and jumped off of the barstool, "Great. But I better go now, Ryan. We have school tomorrow." She reached for her keys on the table, as Ryan got off of his barstool too, to follow her into the hallway so they could say a proper goodbye. She gave him a small hug, "Anyway, I'll see you tomorrow, Ry." She smiled and opened the front door. She was half outside, half inside, when she stopped and turned back around to look at him, "By the way…" she mumbled, a curious look in her eyes, "Is Sharpay's car at the shop? She can't be using it right now."

Ryan wrinkled his forehead and shot her a confused look; he wondered why she was asking him that question, it was sort of out of subject, and what did it matter anyway? He shrugged, "No. Why?"

She pointed behind her with her thumb, "Because it's not here, I found it sort of weird when I arrived, because she's not using it, so why would it need fixing?" she shot him a sideways smile, "I've been here for awhile now, and it's still gone. Has your mother taken it?"

Ryan brushed past Kelsi and squinted his eyes to see through the front yard and to the driveway, but her car wasn't where it used to be parked. Suddenly an intense feeling of worry started floating through him, and he felt his fingers itch and his heart beat. No one else drove her car, everyone knew they weren't allowed to – that meant… No. No!, she wouldn't have.

He turned back around and shot Kelsi a scary look, and she just stared perplexedly back at him. He then brushed past her, knowing he had to go check her room immediately. He ran up the stairs, vainly recognizing Kelsi's, "Ryan? What's wrong!?" and her following right behind him.

He pushed her room door open and looked around the room. Kelsi entered right after him and she looked around too, pretty confused, but knowing something was wrong. Ryan tried his best to see if something was out of place, if she had packed any clothes or if her pink suitcases were gone, but everything seemed the way it was supposed to. Kelsi went further into the room and started to look around as well, but Ryan turned around and went right into her closet; the clothes she had been wearing earlier in school lay in a heap on the floor and her favourite sweatpants were gone.

He went into the room again, and couldn't help but worry about this more; she didn't know how to drive a car, how could she be stupid enough to try to? He groaned, right as his cell phone rang. He reached into his pocket to get it, while Kelsi was looking through Sharpay's desk, probably to see if she could find anything out of the ordinary. He didn't bother to check his screen, thinking it was probably just his father, calling to say why he was so late again. "Yes, Ryan speaking?"

"Hi, is this Ryan Evans?" a voice said at the other end.

Ryan nodded, even if the other person couldn't see him, "Yes, this is him. Who is this?" he questioned as he watched Kelsi. She was now staring weirdly at that picture of him and Sharpay from the Twinkle Town musical; he'd always loved that picture.

"I'm afraid you're speaking with Sharpay's doctor."

Once again, Ryan swore he couldn't breathe. He was not getting another phone call like this; he was not hearing that something had happened to his sister again, he couldn't handle that, he couldn't… "What happened?" he breathed out, in shock. He had to lean himself against Sharpay's shelf, and he didn't even notice how Kelsi had now opened up a piece of paper.

"I'm so sorry, Ryan, but…" the doctor paused at the other end, "Sharpay had another accident with her car, except…"

Ryan swallowed loudly, "Except what?"

"Except no one else was involved." The doctor stated and Ryan was confused as how that could happen, but he didn't have to ask because the doctor elaborated, "It seems that she drove straight into the tree where she first crashed her car… on purpose. We fear… we fear that she might have tried to kill herself."

And Ryan didn't know what else to say. He felt so numb; so wrong. He couldn't believe that his dear sister would do something like that. There had to be another explanation, he'd find out soon, he had to.

"She's okay, but she's hurt again, and she has to go through a lot of check-ups, but we think she'll be fine. She didn't hit the tree with much speed."

Ryan didn't reply to that, he just knew he had to see her first thing tomorrow and clear this mess up; make everything go away, make it good again, "Alright…" he whispered into the phone, "Thank you." He then let the phone drop from his ear and clasped it shut.

Kelsi, who had been half listening to his side of the conversation, and half reading the note, turned to him with huge, glassy eyes, "She tried to kill herself, didn't she?" the pianist whispered.

Ryan felt his head perk up, "How did you… how did you know?" he hadn't said that out loud, he was sure of it.

Kelsi took a step towards him and held the note up so he could see the pink paper, "She left this…" she softly whispered, and Ryan quickly hurried across the huge room and grabbed the note from Kelsi so he could see it, too. He had a suspicion of what it might be, but he wanted to be sure, and he didn't want to believe it was what he suspected it might be.

But he was right… unfortunately.

Hi Ryan.

You wouldn't believe how disappointed I am in you and our friends, how hurt I am by you guys. I've trusted you all, trusted that you only wanted me the best and that you were the to help, and then I find out that all this was just… a lie? It hurts me, it really does.

So here I am, writing you this letter. When you find it I'll be out of here. I can't stand to know that I might never be able to remember what really happened, that we might just have screwed it up entirely. So can you please tell the others that even though they hurt me so much, I appreciate how they tried to be there for me, and that I love them?

I love you too, Ry-Ry, you're the best brother a girl could wish for. I hope you'll be very happy. And tell Mom and Dad that I don't care about the divorce, as long as they're both happy; that's the most important thing.

Tootles,

Sharpay.

…it was a suicide note.
