Gabriella's face turned into a confused and blank face as she saw her friend crunched up into a ball on her bed. "Shar?" she asked, softly. She walked over to her, sitting on the bed and wrapped a comforting arm around the blonde's shoulder. "What's wrong?"

"I..I lost it." Sharpay choked out, sobbing into her hands.

"What?"

Sharpay looked up at the brunette. "I lost it. My baby." she said, weakly, a new batch of tears feeling her light brown eyes.

The color from Gabriella's face drained as the realization took over her. "Baby?" she breathed, still trying to comprehend everything.

"I was two and a half months months pregnant, Gabs. I was starting to get cramps the other day, so I went to the clinic, but they couldn't figure out where the cramps were coming from, so they ran some test and sent me home. Then, today I got a call from my doctor and I lost it, Gabs, I lost it." Sharpay cried, resting her head on Gabriella's shoulder.

Gabriella could feel her t-shirt becoming damper and damper from Sharpay's sobs but that was the least of her problems. "It's ok, Shar." she said, feeling a lump evolve in her throat. The pain from her friend, subsiding to her. She pulled her closer toward her. "It's ok."

"No, it's not. I hurt my baby. I didn't even get a chance to tell everyone. I was waiting for my first trimester to end, but now it was all a joke. Zeke will never get to know his baby, because of me." Sharpay said, sniffling. "What did I do wrong? I barely found out two weeks ago."

"Maybe, it just wasn't time for you, Shar. The baby's in a better place now." Gabriella croaked out, feeling her own tears come on as she watched the pain her friend was relieving of.

Sharpay felt her heart begin to rip into shatters as tears began to leak from her tears even more. "Why me though? I know I'm only 18 years-old, but I was beginning to accept the idea. It was mine, Gabs, and now it's gone. All because of me."

"It wasn't your fault. I'm sure you did everything alright." Gabriella said, wiping the tears from her eyes, wanting to be strong for her friend.

Sharpay shook her head. "I obviously did something wrong, if it's gone now."


Troy sighed and kicked off his shoes as he stepped into his dark room. Switching on the light, he unbuckled his jeans and took his shirt off, leaving him in green boxers. He threw himself onto his bed and let out a content breath as his head connected to his pillow. Exhausted, his eyes became droopy, only to let out a groan as his cellphone went off, hearing his loud ringtone. "Talk to me." he said, into his iPhone.

"Troy, hey, it's me Alexa."

Troy rolled his eyes and flipped onto his back, looking up at the ceiling. "What do you want?" he asked.

"I need you to meet me somewhere."

"Yeah, ok, let that'll ever happen. Just say what you need, right here."

Alexa sighed. "It's important. Barney's, 9:30?" she asked, almost in a pleading voice.

Troy looked at the clock that read 9:20. Pushing the doubts away, he nodded slightly. "Fine." he said, hanging up the phone. He pulled his still damp clothes back on and walked out of his room, knowing that this wasn't going to be good.


"Remember when we were younger and we would just sit and say who were going to marry, how many children we were going to have and their names?" Gabriella said, as her and Sharpay sat on the Evan's roof, looking over Albuquerque's mountains and dark skies. It was one of many of their secret hiding spots.

Sharpay chuckled. "Yeah. You were always going to marry either Brian Littrell from the Backstreet Boys or JC Chasez from NSYNC, while I had Justin Timberlake from NSYNC and Nick Carter from the Backstreet Boys. Then, we were both gonna have two girls. They were gonna be just like us. You were going to name daughter Aubrey Nicole and I was gonna name mine Mia Rose."

Gabriella smiled weakly and nodded. "We were crazy back then. Now, look at us. I'm getting married and you-" she cut herself off quickly as she saw Sharpay look down with sadness in her eyes. "I'm sorry." she said, softly.

"No, I'm ok. Yeah, it'll take a while. I just feel bad, like as though, I'm the reason for why my baby's gone. I know, it's not fully my fault, but it still hurts, I guess."

"Shar, as long as you know that it wasn't your fault, you'll make it through. You just have to remember that he or she is lucky. They may have been loved unconditionally, but they also would've been in this world full of hatred and love. One day, you'll get your baby, just maybe it wasn't time for you."

Sharpay nodded and leaned her head on Gabriella's shoulder. "I was gonna tell Zeke in about two weeks once my first trimester was over. I had it all planned out. I was gonna get him an early graduation present and inside I was gonna put the signed Kobe Bryant Jersey, I got him, then underneath it I was gonna put a bib that said 'I love my daddy.' Yeah, through it all my parents would be pissed, but soon they'd understand. I'd have to go to college pregnant and with a baby, but so what? It was all my decision. I was just getting so excited, Gabs."

"Are you ever gonna tell Zeke that you were pregnant?"

"No. There's no point."

Gabriella sighed. "You don't think that he deserves to know that you were pregnant with his baby?"

"Like I said, there's no baby. No point."

Gabriella pursed her lips together, listening to her friend do what she always do when she's hurting; push everything away to the side. She nudged her friend gently. "You hungry? We can go to Barney's and get some burgers, because I'm dying of hunger. Sound good?" she asked, smiling.

Sharpay nodded. "Yeah, I'd like that. It'll help me get my mind off of things."


"What do you want?" Troy asked, sliding into the booth at Barney's, to see Alexa's small smile.

She shrugged and took a sip of her Coke. "Just to talk, you know. I hear that you and Montez are dating. Congrats. Now, I can only count down to the days, you and her break up."

Troy looked at the dark haired girl, taken back. "What the hell do you mean by that?"

"Oh, please Troy. You guys are always breaking up. When have you two ever officially stayed together? Sure, you two are getting married, but like that's gonna stop you two. Plus, how can you two stay together, when you have people always coming between you two?" she said, a small smirk playing across her lips.

"Those people happen to be you, Alexa. You can mess with me all you want, but stay the hell away from Gabriella? You got that?"

"I happen to wanna mess with you. Alot, actually." Alexa said, aching a brow and leaning into the table. "What's Gabriella gonna do when she finds out that you and me slept together? Hell, you've got her in such a daze, she's believing that we never even kissed."

Flashback

"I love her." Troy said, sadly as he paced through Alexa's boxed up room as she was leaving for Seattle the next morning.

Alexa stood up and placed a comforting hand on his shoulder. "She obviously doesn't want you, Troy. She hurt you. You don't need her in your life."

"Yeah, but she was everything to me." he said, sitting on her bed.

"She kissed Brian and accused you of something you never did."

Troy sighed. "She said I kissed you. We didn't kiss, right?" he said, in his slightly drunken stage after he just finished three bottles of beer.

"No, but we could." Alexa whispered, moving her lips against his, causing Troy to sit there shocked. She pulled back from Troy and smiled softly. "You want this right?"

"I..I-" he was cut off by her lips once again. Going against his better judgement he rolled the two over so that he was on top, knowing in the end he would feel guilt and regret.

End of Flashback

Troy glared at her. "She's never gonna find out, 'cause you're never gonna tell her. Leaving her alone, will be for the best."

"You have ten days to tell her or I will. Just think Troy, I'm giving you time, before the wedding. We wouldn't want divorcee on your record, right?" She gasped as she saw Gabriella and Sharpay walk in. "Look, who it is? It really is a small world."

Troy turned around and sighed as he saw Gabriella narrow her eyes at the two. "Dammit." he muttered, turning back around and running a hand through his messy hair.

Alexa looked at Gabriella, to see the brunette turn away from the two quickly and walk to the booth on the other side of the bar. Alexa stood up, leaving a five dollar bill on the table. "You wanna come with me or go see if you can make up with Gabriella and get back into her pants for make-up sex?"

"Go to hell." Troy spat.

Alexa smirked. "Remember, only ten days, Troy. It's March 26th now and you got until April 5th. Choose wisely. I would hate to see both yours and Gabriella's hearts get broken." she said, walking away and out of the diner.

Troy sighed and stood up, gliding his way through the mediocre filled restaurant as the night was slowly winding down. He pursed his lips together as he saw Gabriella's glare and Sharpay's blank and sad face. "Uh, hey." he said, uncomfortably. He groaned and slid next to Gabriella. "She wanted to talk, that's all we did."

"What am I, your mother?" Gabriella spat back, quickly regretting what she said, when she saw Sharpay's long and tear strained face.

"No, you're not 'cause that would be totally like incests, but you have to know that all we did is talk." He leaned his head on her shouler, sliding his arm around her waist. "Believe me, please baby?"

Gabriella stared at the empty space of the booth, trying to ignore his face, which always got her. "I'll talk to you later."
she said, not looking at him.

Troy smiled, knowing he got to her. He kissed her on the cheek and waved at Sharpay. "Peace." he said, sliding out of the booth and walking toward the diners door.

"You two are both whipped." Sharpay chuckled.

"Ugh, I know, but he's just so cute, I can't help it." Gabriella said, smiling, parshly because she saw one of the first genuine smiles on the blondes face.

Sharpay shook her head and laughed. "If Zeke ever hung around with that slut, trust me, he would be crying tears, while I made him get on his hands and knees and apologize."

"You always have had ways of keeping the boys in check, Shar."

"I know, and that's why Zeke is so well trained."

The two both laughed at the though of how Zeke really was well trained. Their laughter died down as both suddenly remembered earlier. "You gonna be ok?" Gabriella asked, quietly.

Sharpay looked down and nodded. "Yeah, it'll take a little time, though. All I keep thinking is everything happens for a reason. A good reason, I hope."

"Well, whether it's good or bad, you'll always have my support."

"I know and that's why you're my best friend. You always will be."


"Hey." Troy whispered, hoarsely as he felt Gabriella snuggle into him on top of his bed. "How did you get in?" he asked, looking at the tired looking girl.

"I used one of my bobby-pins. Stalker-ish, I know. It was such an exhausting day." she said, chuckling. She sighed in content and wrapped her arm around his waist. There was a silence before Gabriella cleared her throat and pursed her lips together. "Sharpay was pregnant, Troy."

Troy's eyes opened wide as he looked at his girlfriend. "What?"

Gabriella lifted herself up against the pillows and nodded. "She was pregnant, but today she got a message from the clinic that they were sorry and that she lost the baby. She went in a couple days ago, because she was having really bad cramps, but they didn't know, so they ran some test. I just feel horrible for her."

"Is she ok?" Troy asked, also lifting himself up and wrapping his arm around her.

"She's gonna be ok, but you should've seen her. I've never seen her so sad and upset."

Troy nodded and ran a hand through the brunettes wavy hair. "I'm taking it that she was waiting for her first trimester to end, so Zeke had no clue that she was pregnant, am I right?"

Gabriella looked into his crystal blue eyes. "How'd you know?"

He shrugged. "When I used to live in San Luis Obispo and I would stay with my grandma, she'd tell me about how most woman wait until they finish they're first trimester, before telling because the first trimester is the most cautious. She mostly talked to me about woman. Why do you think I'm such a ladies man, now a days?"

"Wow, I should thank your grandma for making you so smart. Without I don't know what we would do with you." Gabriella teasted, before rolling over and straddling his waist.

"Aren't you funny?"

Gabriella nodded. "Well I'd like to think I am, actually."

Troy rolled his eyes and kissed her softly. He pulled her down so that her head was resting in the crook of his neck. "Sharpay's lucky to have a friend like you, ya'know?"

"She's my longest friend, well, other than my friend Demi, but you know."

"Demi's the hot one from the Hamptons, right?"

Gabriella smacked him on the chest, erupting a groan from the him. "That's my friend!" she hissed.

Troy shrugged. "Gabs, nobody is as hot as you. Plus, you can pull of sexy. Demi not so much when she got drunk there."

"I wouldn't be suprised if you said the same thing to Alexa." she muttered, not realizing his confused face and even the fact that he heard.

Troy sat up, making her roll off of him. He rolled his eyes and shook his head. "Typical you. You can never just leave her out of anything."

Gabriella rolled her eyes and sighed. "I wanna know, why you two were sitting there. What the hell was that? I'm sure you didn't expect that to just roll off my back, right?"

"No, Gabriella I didn't, but you're always comparing you and Alexa. Why can't you just get over your jealousy over her?"

"Oh, so know I have jealously? Since when did you start wearing a fucking Team Alexa shirt?" she said, angrily.

Troy shook his head, feeling the guilt wash over him as he remembered what happened between him and Alexa and how she was practically black mailing him. "There's no Team Alexa, ok? I couldn't give a shit about her, but I hate seeing you flip out over some worthless girl."

"You're such a jackass!" she hissed, walking toward his balcony's doors.

Troy grabbed her arm before she could reach the French doors. He pressed her up against the doors and kissed her hard on the lips, knowing it always worked. He pulled back to see her face flushed. "I may be a jackass, but I'm a jackass you love."

"Yeah, and that's why I hate you some times."

"Let's brush this off our shoulders and go back to happy, Troy and Gabriella."

Gabriella glared at him. "You're on probation, Bolton."

Troy scoffed and laughed. "For what?"

"For being a real pain in the ass, sometimes. There will be no sex, considering how much you love it."

"Oh man, come on Gabriella. I wake up with a smile on my face, because I think about the wonderful gift god, gave us humans to do."

Gabriella laughed as she saw the seriousness in his face. "You're such a sex addict."

Troy waved a finger in front of her face. "No, I'm just a horny guy, especially because I have this beautiful girl who is always dangling herself in front of me." he said, wrapping his arm around her petite waist. He lifted her up, making her squeal and threw her onto the bed. He crawled over her, a small smirk playing over his lips. "I declare myself off probation."

"Nope, sorry, only I can declare you off probation." She bit her lip as he began to plant kisses along her neck.

"I know ways where I can get out of punishment." he said, smiling knowing she was slowly melting into him.

Gabriella rolled her eyes and gripped his head, bringing his lips to hers.


"Where do you go when you're lonely, where do you go when you're blue, where do you go when you're lonely, I'll follow you, when the stars go blue..." Sharpay sang, softly as she walked through Albuquerque's City Park. The quiet park, was filled with stars over bloomed in the nighttime sky. "Laughing with your broken eyes -" she cut herself off as she saw Alexa and Caleb sitting on a bench in front of her. She slowly crept behind the tree nearest them and listened closely.

"So what'd you tell, Troy?" Caleb asked.

Alexa shrugged and played with the red nail polish on her hands. "I just simply reminded him about how me and him slept together."

Sharpay felt her stomach drop as she listened closely. She let out a sigh and shook her head, trying to shake off the sudden negative thoughts she was feeling toward Troy.

Caleb looked taken back at the black haired girl in front of him. "Wait, you and Troy slept together?"

"Yeah, right after him and Gabriella broke up. I feel bad for Gabriella, kind of. She's so pathetic that she would actually believe Troy when he says that we didn't even kiss. He's playing her so bad, who couldn't feel bad for her?" Alexa said, chuckling lightly.

"Then, we can just do our plan! Let's tell, Gabriella and break those two up. Isn't that what we agreed to do?"

Alexa shook her head, still oblivious toward the blonde who was feeling sadness wash over her as the thought of her close friend, smiling giddy thinking about Troy came into her mind. "I told Troy that I'd give him ten days."

"What? Ten days? Don't you think that's a bit much?" Caleb cried.

"No, not at all. I'm just giving Troy time to tell Gabriella. If he doesn't tell her, I'm telling her. Even though I truly dislike Gabriella, you and I both know she hates a liar and cheater, so with a week before the wedding, she won't take Troy back. Then, both will do what they do best; crying to their mommy's and daddy's about how life isn't fair and then they'll call off the wedding. See works perfectly."

Caleb smiled. "You're a genius, Fryer."

"I know. I'm just scared that I won't be able to whip off the smile that'll be on my face when we see Troy and Gabriella heartbroken."

Sharpay shook her head, tears threatening to leak from her eyes as she felt the pain for Gabriella. Gabriella was so madly in love with Troy and all Troy's been telling her was lies and he knew what he was doing. She walked away quickly, wanting to reach Gabriella. She couldn't let Gabriella sit there and play the fool anymore. She'd seen her friend get heartbroken so many times, she couldn't see it again. Gabriella was always there for her and Sharpay was determined to be the good friend, Gabriella was to her, back to her.
