Chapter 46: Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Let Us Hope Nobody Ends Up Black and Blue. Part two

Ryan only had to knock on the door twice before Gabriella open the door and kissed him on the cheek even though it was 7:36 AM local time. He barely survived the subway ride to the hotel, Ryan was that exhausted. He would have to thank Kim for her family owning a hotel right off the subway system. He knew that the only reason why Gabriella and Taylor were staying in a room this nice was Taylor's step sister was the heir apparent to the Beijing Gardens hotel chain.

"You must be exhausted." Gabriella said letting him into the suite.

"I was actually able to sleep a little on the plane ." He decided not to mention that it was the most sleep that he's had in the last 48 hours. Of course, his sleepless Thursday/Friday night was his own fault. No one can sleep in the plastic chairs in a hospital waiting room or when his sister was pissed. It's just not possible.

"You can take my room and get a few more hours. I'll try to sleep on the couch but I doubt that I'll get any more sleep this morning. Between the time zone difference and my medication my days and nights are all mixed up. What happened yesterday did not help. It's more productive if I just do homework right now and go to sleep during the day. Troy loves it because the house is always clean." Gabriella said with a soft laugh as they walked to one of the couches.

"Even with Alex there?" Ryan said sitting down.

"We are getting better at keeping him under control. It's usually at least three against one. It's also usually for a week or two at a time. We can manage. How was the wedding?" She asked obviously trying to make small talk.

"Your favorite trouble making toddler managed to dump a few gallons of chocolate all over the hardwood floors of the A of U ballroom." Ryan said as he warily took his phone out of his pocket and slid the phone over to Gabriella.

"That must have been a disaster." She remarked with her face scrunched up as she saw pictures of a chocolate covered Alex playing around on the floor most likely trying to keep herself from laughing.

"Actually that was one of the more lighthearted moments. Chad's Aunt Claudia threw a tantrum after the judge pronounced the couple Mr. and Mrs. Chad Evans. She is still furious about Chad taking our last name even though his biological father was a complete ass. I do not even want to talk about her reaction to Chad putting Jack down as his father on the wedding invitation. My Spanish was not good enough to keep up with the argument that Chad's mom had with his grandmother about it. Although, I could recognize enough curse words to know that it wasn't good. There was also a scene later on when multiple family members kept coming up to Sharpay asking if she was pregnant. This was when the rest of the family found out Sharpay has girl problems and biological children probably will not happen."

Ryan decided not to tell Gabriella that the rest of the family included him. He was so furious that he pulled his sister into one of the bathrooms to have a quick chat. That was when he found out the real reason why his former girlfriend was currently in DC. Ryan wasn't sure what he found more infuriating, Taylor not telling him the circumstances behind her adoption or his sister keeping this and other secrets from him. At least, his sister could always fall back on the fact she was protecting the privacy of someone else. Okay, the only reason why he's not furious at his sister was she already had him booked on the next flight to Reagan National.

"That's not good." Gabriella said not commenting on his sister's infertility.

"It got worse when certain family members came up to my dad and tried to comfort him by saying that my being into guys was only a phase and he would have grandchildren yet. My father just smiled graciously and told the bartender to cut these individuals off." Gabriella was laughing again.

"Do I even want to know how your entire family found out that your pan sexual? I only found out about it last month. I can't believe you dated Jason Cross and I had no idea." Ryan had no choice but to tell her everything after she witnessed the disaster that was the baby coming out party. Ryan was thankful that he was too busy with exams to fly down for the party. He did not even see his ex boyfriend until he watched him being thrown into a university police car as he left for the Airport right after the chocolate fiasco.

"I may have gotten a tiny bit irritated at a certain relative who was saying very nasty things about Chad simply because he's not that White. I felt that was the perfect moment to let her know that she had one of those horrible homosexuals in her family. I can't stand the small minded even if they are blood relatives." Ryan decided not to tell Gabriella just yet what the consequences of that revelation were.

"Did anybody get arrested this time?"

"Sort of, but it was not Albuquerque PD this time. Jason was dragged off by A of U Campus Security for trying to crash the wedding in an effort to get his boyfriend back. Zeke intervened before things could get ugly inside." Ryan went on to explain the whole thing.

"You've got to be kidding me?" Gabriella said laughing.

"Fortunately nobody noticed it because it happened right when Alex managed to ruin $100,000 wedding dress after the chocolate water fountain incident."

"What happened?" Gabriella asked.

"Look at the next picture." As soon as the words were out of his mouth Gabriella started laughing hysterically. Ryan knew that Gabriella was looking at a picture of the chocolate covered toddler hugging the train of Sharpay's wedding dress.

"Do I need to send Troy and Kim my condolences?" Gabriella asked in between giggles.

"Contrary to high school rumors, Sharpay would never kill an innocent two year old. She's just going to send Kim the replacement bill and use this against Troy for the rest of his natural life." Ryan said smiling.

"Oh god, I do not even want to think about the things that she is going to be able to manipulate him into doing with 'your son ruined my wedding dress'. No wonder he did not call yesterday." Gabriella said with hands over her mouth trying to stifle laughter or shock. Ryan wasn't sure which.

"Probably no worse than what she's going to do to me for ruining her rehearsal dinner." Ryan said with another sigh.

"Do I want to know?" Gabriella asked with trepidation.

"Probably not, the family member that triggered my coming out was great Aunt Clara. She happens to be the original drama queen of the Evans family. She didn't take having a non heterosexual in the family well at all."

About 33 hours earlier

"Seriously Ryan, what possessed you to think telling our almost a century old great aunt that you're one of the gays was a good idea? If she dies, it will be your fault." Sharpay said with hands on hips as she paced around the waiting room of AMC becoming more furious by the minute. The others in the room were looking at her funny. At least she had the decency to wait until their father left to attack him.

"I heard everything she said about Chad. She had no right to talk to you like that. I thought it would make her angry enough to leave. I wasn't expecting her to lose consciousness like that." Ryan said in his defense not looking at his angry sister.

"Ryan, she's very old and has been taking high blood pressure medicine since its creation. You don't shock someone like that." She screamed again.

"I'm sure she's going to be okay. Besides how was I supposed to know, that me being non heterosexual would freak her out like that. You and daddy were okay with it." It was a weak defense and Ryan knew it but it was all he had.

"Ryan I was more shocked when I saw you making out with Kelsey. I've always known that you'd like guys. You had more posters of the Backstreet Boys and Nsync in your bedroom than I did. You actually cheered when Lance came out of the closet." Ryan couldn't help but laugh at that.

"I like the choreography." Sharpay gave him a dubious look at his excuse.

"I remember." Sharpay said as the room became silent again. It stayed like that until Chad arrived with soda and candy several minutes later.

"Is it a bad sign when you have spent so much time in a hospital that you know where all the good machines are?" Chad said handing his girlfriend a Dove candy bar and a diet soda. Sharpay refuses to consume any other grocery store chocolate bar. His sister is a chocolate snob. Personally, Ryan was surprised she will eat anything that is not imported from Swiss or Belgium.

"It's only a bad sign if you're willing to eat from the bad vending machines." His sister remarked as she took a bite of chocolate.

"Have you heard anything from the doctors?" Chad asked sitting next to Sharpay and putting an arm around her.

"Nothing yet, dad went to go check on her. You know he is on the board here so the doctors may actually answer his questions." Ryan responded just as Nikki, Amanda, and Zeke walked into the waiting area carrying several bags.

"What are you guys doing here?" Sharpay asked in surprise.

"From personal experience I know that hospital food is nasty especially when the cafeteria has closed for the night. Who knows how long you guys are going to be here so we brought food." Nikki said lifting the bags in her hands.

"It's mostly the appetizers. I didn't dare tried to take any of the main course stuff away. Your family is vicious when it comes to food." Zeke said pointing at Chad. "Troy and Kim would be here but they are the only ones that have any hope at all of keeping the two sides of the family at peace. Marc refused to let them leave."

"Your grandma Sanchez was calling Jack something in Spanish that I cannot repeat when we finally got the hell out of there." Nikki added as they walked out of the main waiting room to a place where they could actually eat something.

"I know exactly what she called him, she forgets that I'm fluent in Spanish sometimes. This is completely fucked up. We are here at the hospital making sure Aunt Clara doesn't die, god bless her weak, close minded little heart," Chad said that last part with pure sarcasm, "While her extended family is getting smashed at a rehearsal dinner without the guest of honor. Seriously, what is wrong with our families?" Chad asked with head in hand.

"One of your uncles said it was disrespectful to waste food." Amanda said with a snicker.

"Which side of the family?" Chad asked shaking his head.

"It was Uncle John."

"Again which side of the family? Technically, I have an Uncle John on both sides. More than one on Charles' sighed because Grandpa John did not believe in monogamy or condoms either. He died of a certain STD before I was even born. Although since you said John and not Juan or Johnny, I'm going to go of my dad's half-brother John. He doesn't even like me very well. He probably just came for the free food. I'm not even sure he was actually invited." Chad said in irritation. Ryan always thought their family was screwed up but Chad's family seems so much worse.

"You do remember Aunt Claudia took over the guest list in exchange for not mentioning the last name thing." His sister reminded her fiancé.

"Which she has not honored at all. Now, we have even more people at the wedding I cannot stand. We should have gone to Vegas." Chad said looking down again.

"On the bright side, you now get to enjoy the goat cheese and pancetta many sandwiches, without having to spend quality time with family you don't like, as your suppose best friend humiliates you in front of everyone." Amanda said with a smile as she passed out paper plates with tiny little sandwiches on them. Ryan was just happy to be eating anything that wasn't fast food or out of the vending machine.

"Troy is crushed about not getting to do his speech." Zeke said after a few minutes of eating in silence. He even did a power point presentation. I only know about it because he asked for those pictures from basketball camp from ninth grade. " Judging by the way Zeke was smirking, Ryan was really upset about not getting to see those pictures.

"Oh god, you do know he's going to still show that to the family and I'm not even going to be there to defend myself." Chad said obviously mortified. "We really should have gone to Vegas. We should still go. The way things are going if we want to actually get married we need to get the hell out of Albuquerque."

"You called me a drama queen in high school. You are so much worse. Remember we are doing this for our children. It can't be that bad, stop worrying." Sharpay said squeezing his hand in reassurance.

"Oh yes it can be." Zeke said laughing. "Chad and Troy got into some silly fight for reasons I cannot even remember. Chad said something stupid and Troy decided to get him back at him by dressing him up as a girl while he was sleeping."

"How could he even get away with that? Chad is a really light sleeper. He's always the first one up when the baby start crying." His sister told everyone.

"I'm a light sleeper now because of that. Before that incident, you could jump up and down on my bed and I would still stay fast asleep. After dressing me up as a pretty princess, complete with makeup and tiara, my so-called friends dump me on the couch in the community room. I don't want to talk about what happened next, except that I got back at Troy later on."

"You mean at our first away game that semester where you threw all his clothes in a lake and he had to ride home in basketball shorts and a towel." Zeke said now laughing hysterically.

"That was great. The only reason why I did not end up running drills for the rest of the semester was mom told Jack about the pretty princess incident. Really, I should have known that something was going on between those two years ago." Chad mumbled under breath and Zeke just nodded his head in agreement.

"I'm just so glad that you two grew out of your pranks stage before we became friends." Ryan said with a shiver.

"It's too bad I miss that. I always thought you would look good dressed as a girl." Sharpay said with a smile.

"I may be willing to put on that thing you picked up from DLS if you're a good girl." That statement caused Ryan to choke on his finger sandwich. That image would have been very pleasant before Chad went from being the hot basketball player that he had a crush on for most of high school to his sister's fiancé.

"I don't want to know if your future husband is into cross-dressing. Actually, I don't want to know anything about your sex life." Ryan said still shivering.

"That's only because he's not interested in you." she said with a wicked smirk and Chad just seemed to be happy that there was no one else around. "Seriously you did not need to tell Aunt Clara what a good kisser Chad is. I think that's what sent her over the edge. You owe me for ruining my rehearsal dinner and if I want to share all the dirty details of my sex life with my favorite little brother, I will." His sister would torture him with stuff like that because she was that evil.

"You should be thanking me. Kim was planning her very own embarrassing power point presentation. She asked for the video where grandma thought it would be adorable to give us a bath together." Ryan said with a wicked smirk as Sharpay became worried.

"That's not too embarrassing. We bathed the twins all the time together. They are too little to notice anything weird." Chad said with a shrug.

"This was the incident where Sharpay asked grandma why I was different than her. It just gets worse from there." Ryan said still smirking.

"Okay so maybe it was a good thing that you almost killed our great aunt." Sharpay said with a nervous laugh.

"Do I want to know?"

"Not really." Sharpay said quickly as everybody ate in anything but silence. The group continued sharing extremely embarrassing stories about Chad and Sharpay. Amanda couldn't stop laughing during the stories of their summer at the country club. Zeke thought it was funny that Chad was never able to sleep during away games when he was playing at A of U. It was after most of the food was gone that Ryan's father found the group. They were having so much fun they forgot why they were at the hospital in the first place.

"Mr. Evans would you like something to eat. I think we still have some of the bacon and blue cheese sliders laughed." Amanda offered.

"That's fine. My doctor says I'm not supposed to have red meat anymore anyway. I'll get something on the way home." His father said with an exhausted side. If considering how much his father loves stake, Ryan found this statement a little strange.

"I knew I should have brought some of the salmon." Zeke mumbled to himself.

"What did the doctors say about Aunt Clara?" Sharpay asked quickly.

"She's fine, so much that she just screamed at me for the last 30 minutes for having a homosexual for a son and referred to my daughter by several synonyms for prostitute that I will not repeat. I'm personally sure the whole thing at the dinner was a grand performance." Mr. Evans said bitterly.

"Why am I not surprised? Is it wrong to be disappointed that it wasn't worse?" Sharpay asked the group. Ryan felt the same way but kept his thoughts to himself. "It was probably the shock that caused her to lose consciousness although I stand by my earlier statement. They don't think it was her heart but they're going to keep her overnight for observations and more tests."

"I think that's doctor Speak for 'we have no idea what the hell is wrong with you so we're going to make you sleep in those horrible beds for another 24 hours'." Sharpay said with annoyance.

"Sharpay, tomorrow is a big day for you. Go home and rest. I can stay here for a little bit longer." His father said kissing Sharpay on the forehead. After much argument Sharpay did leave 30 minutes later.

"Is your aunt okay?" Gabriella asked with concern after hearing about what happened at the rehearsal dinner and everything else. She could not believe Ryan did that. Actually what she couldn't believe was that Ryan had a completely drunk make out session with one of the hottest players at A of U. They were so talking about that after the Taylor situation was dealt with, whenever that would be.

"She's alive and driving her extended family crazy. She's going to be stuck in Albuquerque for at least a week which makes me very happy I have to be back to school Tuesday. To apologize for her toddler ruining the reception and Sharpay's wedding dress, Kim is paying for Aunt Clara to stay in the presidential suite in the Garden hotel furthest away from Chad and Sharpay's condo. She's even paying for the Home Health Care nurse to take care of her. This is probably the reason why Sharpay forgave her best friend for the wedding dress thing." Ryan explained.

"Your aunt can't be that bad." Gabriella said calmly.

"Its moments like this I think you're good nature was not caused by you're happy pills. Some people are just that bad. As a goodwill gesture I stopped by the hospital Friday morning to check on her and bring her something for breakfast that's actually edible. She threw the muffin at my head and told me she took me out of her will for being one of those homosexuals. She also took Sharpay out of the will for doing something that's been legal since Loving vs. Virginia." Gabriella had no idea how to respond to that but considering the fact that Ryan was smiling Gabriella doubted that he was very upset about that.

"You almost seemed happy about being cut off." Gabriella mention.

"That's because I am. Aunt Clara is not a very nice person even if she is worth $50 million, supposedly. She's like high school Sharpay but 30 times worse with more pretense and prejudice. The only thing in her will that I wanted was her collection of glass figurines. The money is just not worth pandering to her. " Ryan said warily.

"Let's talk about something else. Did you bring me back a piece of wedding cake like Sharpay promised, when I agreed to come to DC or was said cake destroyed by the chocolate waterfall incident?" Gabriella asked happily. The only reason why she rarely wanted to come to the wedding was the cake when she heard Zeke was making it. She has a bit of a sweet tooth and loved everything he made.

"No my slightly deranged sister requested that the waterfall and the cake beyond separate tables even if it meant moving everything around much to Marc's irritation. It wouldn't have mattered because Sharpay had Zeke make a special cake just for you and Taylor. It was Taylor's favorite flavor chocolate raspberry truffle cream." Ryan said not looking at her.

"Where is it?" Gabriella asked impatiently.

"I did bring you back wedding cake and other goodies from the reception. Unfortunately they are probably now in the TSA snack room at the Albuquerque Airport." Gabriella frowned at that.

"They took the cake?" She asked in surprise, really she shouldn't be.

"Apparently it was a security concern." Ryan said sardonically

"You've got to be kidding me." Gabriella said in irritation.

"I promise to pick you up something downstairs later prayerfully when I'm not falling over with exhaustion." Ryan said with a yawn.

"It's just not the same. I wanted wedding cake. Your sister promised me Zeke wedding cake if I came down here to help Taylor. After what happened yesterday, I deserve Zeke cake." She said with hands on her hips.

"Blame the TSA. Don't worry the chocolate raspberry cheesecake here is almost as good as Zeke's. Even though I could not bring you cake I did bring wedding video, the uncensored version. We can watch it in the morning. How are things with Taylor? Was it really that bad?" Ryan asked obviously picking up on what she said earlier?

"It's already morning." She said trying to avoid talking about what happen with Taylor. She just got her friend to fall asleep a little before Ryan showed up and that was only due to the vast amounts of alcohol Taylor consumed.

"I meant after actually getting some sleep." Ryan said yawning again.

"Good idea. We can talk about Taylor later. Gabriella said pushing Ryan into her room not really willing to talk about what happened yesterday when they finally found Taylor's biological father. That was a complete disaster.

"Wait, I have to let Sharpay know that I got here all right." Ryan could not even get through that sentence without a yawn as she kept pushing him forward

"Even though it's almost 6:00 AM in Albuquerque I'm pretty sure your sister is preoccupied right now with sleep if nothing else." Gabriella said smirking.

"That's why I'm sending a text message and please never mention my sister's sex life even in an allusion." Ryan said with a shiver.

"You can send her a message in the morning. She's already mad at you for ruining her rehearsal dinner. Do you really want to find out what will happen if you ruin the honeymoon?"

"That's a very good point." Ryan said as Gabriella successfully managed to get him to lie down. "She would probably just give me too many details about what I'd just interrupted from my own personal well being."

30 minutes later Gabriella was successfully able to actually fall asleep herself on the somewhat comfortable couch. Unfortunately less than five hours later she woke up to the sound of the maid knocking on the door. Her recent sleep deprivation was almost to make her miss that medication that made her sleep all this time. Because everyone else in the suite was still sleeping, she decided to watch some of the wedding video after ordering room service. Ryan conveniently left his cell phone charging in the living room area.

Gabriella wondered who shot the thing because Ryan was in every shot after the beginning. It was the most nontraditional bridal party Gabriella has ever seen at a wedding even if the dresses were really nice. Chad's two bridesmaids, Amanda and Penelope of all people, escorted each other down the aisle. Gabriella actually started choking when she saw Penelope as part of the bridal party. She was pretty sure that Penelope was one of the few people that Sharpay hated more than her after what Gabriella witnessed last summer. That seems to be no longer the case. Although from the story Taylor told her if it wasn't for Penelope, Chad and Sharpay may not be together now, so maybe this was Chad's twisted way of thanking her.

Gabriella was sure it was not originally planned for Troy to actually have to carry the ring bearer to the altar. She understood why when he finally did let go of the toddler and Alex started running around the garden area outside the tent immediately. After said two year old was caught trying to climb into the water fountain, he spent the rest of the wedding in the lap of his maternal grandfather. Considering the horror stories she has heard about Mr. Kim from Troy he was probably the strict grandparent. Unfortunately, Alex threw the ring bearer pillow into the fountain before he tried to climb in after it. The ceremony was halted for 10 minutes to get the rings out of the fountain. The wedding planner seemed to be in tears according to the description of a person Gabriella could not recognize. She thinks the other person making snide comments regarding a furious Sharpay was Jimmy but she is not sure.

Finally, Sharpay was escorted down the aisle by Ryan and her father with a genuine smile on her face. Even though she found Sharpay annoying at times she always thought she was pretty, that was more evident in the designer dress she was wearing. Maybe her bright smile was why she seems so radiant. Gabriella has never seen Sharpay that happy before, she seemed like a completely different person.

That's when the camera moved to Chad who seemed like the happiest man in the world judging by the expression on his face. Just looking at him Gabriella could tell that this marriage was anything but forced and he truly loved her. That look alone made Gabriella want to cry. No one ever looked at her like that.

Unfortunately, certain family members actually at the wedding did not see what Gabriella saw and despite the Judge skipping over that part several people raise their objections to the marriage. Gabriella could understand why Ryan was happy that a certain family member was too incapacitated to actually be at the wedding. Who knew what great Aunt Clara would have said? Chad's Aunts Claudia and Sarah were causing enough of a scene on their own before Chad's grandmother told the two to shut up.

The rest of the ceremony seemed to go smoothly other than Kim running out of the service most likely to throw up. That's probably because it was a short ceremony. The most extravagant part was when the couple exchanged their own vows. This was obviously a tissue moment Gabriella thought to herself as Chad grabbed Sharpay's hand and began to speak.

"I Chadwick Danforth soon to be Evans take you as my wife. I promise to love you from this day forward even when you get on my nerves and keep stealing my T shirts even if you say otherwise." Chad paused as those in attendance laughed.

"I promise to accept you as you are and as you will be. I promise to help you find the person that you will become. I promise to provide what support you need emotionally and physically. I promise to see beyond what you want me to see and see the person who you are underneath all pretence. I will stay by your side through good and bad, until death. I promise to tell you when you drive me crazy or anything else that's bothering me. I promise to respect you. Above all else, I promise to love you, always." Even though he tried to hide it Gabriella could tell Chad was crying at this point. Then again so was practically everyone else including Gabriella.

"You already said that part." Sharpay said through tears.

"It's important. I had to say it twice." Chad said kissing her tears away literally.

"We have not come to that part of the ceremony yet." The Officiate said with a sigh. "You never did follow orders very well Chad."

"Sorry." Chad said pulling away from Sharpay.

"Sharpay, you may begin." The judge said with a nod and a sigh.

"I Sharpay Evans take you Chadwick Danforth soon to be Evans as my wedded husband in accordance of the laws of this state. I promise to love and respect the person you are and the person you will become. I promise to not keep secrets from you and to trust you with my heart and body completely. I will let you know when you drive me crazy or anything else that's bothering me. I promise to support you in any way I can. I will love and cherish you always." Sharpay said choking back tears during the last part. Gabriella was currently on her second tissue.

"I think you said that twice." Chad joked.

"It's important." Sharpay said with more tears streaming down her face.

The Officiate was able to finish the ceremony before the couple started kissing again. The video ended with the couple being introduced as Mr. and Mrs. Chad Evans and Aunt Claudia going on a rant. Gabriella was laughing and crying simultaneously.

"What are you watching?" Gabriella heard Taylor ask from her bedroom door. She is surprised that Taylor was that coherent this morning. It probably helped that she left water and Tylenol by her bed.

"Nothing." Gabriella said not knowing how Taylor would react to the footage of her ex boyfriend getting married considering everything that happened yesterday. She wasn't ready to deal with a crying hysterical Taylor again. Unfortunately, the screen was frozen on a picture of Sharpay and Chad running down the aisle.

"That looks suspiciously like Chad and Sharpay in wedding clothing." Taylor said giving Gabriella a suspicious look.

"It is. I didn't know if you wanted to watch your ex get married."

"This is coming from somebody who shares an apartment with her ex boyfriend? I can be just as well adjusted as you."

"It's a gigantic house and I'm probably only living there so Troy can make sure I'm taking my medication properly and I can help when he has custody of Alex. I'm also there to make sure Troy doesn't do stupid things like eat strawberry ice cream, again." Taylor frowned at that most likely because she mentioned a father who was taking responsibility for a child created by broken condoms and defective birth control.

"I just wasn't sure what you could take today after yesterday." Gabriella said sadly.

"It's not a big deal Gabriella. I did what I came for. I found my biological father and he wants nothing to do with me. It's fine, because I want nothing to do with him." Taylor said quickly most likely trying to hold back tears. Gabriella knew Taylor was anything but fine but she was too stubborn to acknowledge that to anyone including herself.

"You should watch the video at least the first part anyway." Gabriella said changing the subject. "It's hilarious. It will make you laugh and cry simultaneously. Alex managed to lose the rings in a water fountain."

"Why am I not surprised?" Taylor said grabbing the phone from her. "Where did you get this phone? This is Ryan's cell phone." Taylor almost yelled.

"How can you tell? All iPhones look exactly alike." That's when Ryan came out of the other bedroom.

"What are you doing here?" Taylor asked in irritation.

"I'm just going to let you to talk." Gabriella said grabbing her purse and her phone to get out of the room as quickly as possible. She was very thankful that she was already dressed. There was no way she was going to stick around for that conversation. It wasn't until she made it down to the lobby that she realized she had Ryan's phone instead of hers.

To be continued.

I originally had Chad and Sharpay's honeymoon stuff and the showdown between Ryan and Taylor in this chapter but I felt it needed to be in a separate part. The good news is the chapter is already drafted.
