Mistakes

Hey guys, I am so sorry that I haven't updated in so long, but between school and work I've barely had time to breath let alone write. Thanks so much for all of your reviews on the last chapter, and hopefully I should be able to update more frequently, at least over the next week or so because I'm off school, anyway, here's chapter 7, and I know it's short, but hopefully chapter 8 will be up tomorrow, or the day after, so I hope that you enjoy it and please review!

Chapter 7

"Who is she Ryan?" Taylor harshly questioned the shocked blonde haired man once more, folding her arms across her chest and tapping her foot impatiently, as Lilly-Ella tugged on Ryan's arm, causing her to look at her desperate pleading face and nod slightly, as she turned and sprinted up the hallway, dragging a very confused Matt with her. "Who is she Ryan?" Taylor repeated through gritted teeth, growing more annoyed with every minute that Ryan ignored her questioning.

Turning back to Taylor, Ryan smiled weakly and started to pace slowly towards her, "Come on Tay, let's go to my classroom, and I'll tell you what I know." Gently, he reached out to take hold of her arm, but she snatched it out of his reach quickly, and stepped backwards.

"No Ryan! You will tell me who she is, and why she is practically a duplicate of my best friend, with all of the same mannerisms as well right now!" Taylor screamed in frustration.

Ryan's eyes darkened and his mouth set into a scowl as he looked at Taylor darkly, "I will not put her in harms way Taylor, so if you want to know who she is, you will come to my classroom, and I have a meeting with her father in ten minutes, so you can come and ask him questions as well." With that said, Ryan turned on his heel, and stomped back down the hallway, unsurprised by the timid that followed behind him only moments later. Smirking, Ryan realised that his plan was already being mobilised, he knew that Taylor had always considered Troy as her little brother, so once he had her on his side, plan gang would be promptly on its' way, followed swiftly by plan Bolton.

Ryan had been the only one to see the affects of the separation on all three of the should be family members.

Gabriella never had the twinkle in her eyes anymore that had been ever present when Troy was around during their teenage years, and her laughter lacked the melodic sound that it had once had.

Troy found it much more difficult to trust anybody, and was always exceedingly wary of new people and Ryan knew for a fact that his love life had been empty ever since he had left Albuquerque as the broken hearted eighteen year old father.

Lilly-Ella had grown into a beautiful sixteen year old, but a one who had lived her entire life without her mother by her side to confide on and to boost up her confidence. Of course she had had Troy, who had always been there for her, and who would do anything for his daughter, but Ryan knew that Lilly-Ella needed a mother as well.

Ryan sighed softly. He had to help make them all happy once more, he had to get the three of them back together for the first time since the day of Lilly-Ella's birth, he had to help them become the Bolton family, once and for all.

Checking back over his shoulder, he grinned when he saw that Taylor was still following him, and opened the door to his drama classroom, a room that the old Wildcats knew surprisingly well, one that held so many memories for all nine of them, Ms. Darbus' old room, and grinned even more as he saw the ex-basketball captain, East High's ex-golden boy sat in a position that he would usually take up every morning in an attempt to irritate Ms. Darbus as much as possible, typically before starting a heated debate with Gabriella which would often get them both kicked out of the room, followed by the rest of the gang as they would continue the debate after their leaders left, sat on the teacher's chair, his feet resting on the desk, throwing a mini basketball up and down…

Well guys, that was Chapter 7, and like I said, hopefully I'll have more time to write, so please review and tell me what you thought.
