Chapter 6: I Trust You Ryan
"Learn to appreciate what you had before time makes you appreciate what you have."
Sharpay arrived at their home, the Evans' residence, in Albuquerque. Ryan quickly hugged her. Once they got inside, Sharpay told Ryan her plan then quickly went to her room. Ryan is so shocked but he respected his sister's decision. He knows that he's the only person Sharpay trusted right now so he promised to keep her secret. Sharpay is the strongest person he knew, but after the incident his heart was broken for seeing Sharpay so vulnerable.
Ryan opened Sharpay's door. He saw that she's still awake.
"Shar. How are you?" Ryan held her hand and gave a worried look.
"I'm okay. Just don't tell anyone, especially them the truth. I need a month or maybe a very long time before telling them that I don't really have amnesia. I just want to forget everything for a while."' She smiled then closed her eyes. She remembered what happened to the last few months. She then opened her eyes and saw Ryan smiling.
"Shar, remember that everyday is a gift, a new beginning. Whatever hurt or pain we have in the past, remember that yesterday ended last night."
Sharpay hugged Ryan and cried. They stay at that same place for a long time.
"Thank you Ry. You're really the best brother in the whole world."
"And you're the best sister."
Sharpay decided to go to her favorite place, the mall. She decided to go to the supermarket first to buy ingredients for their dinner. She wants to cook Ryan's favorite food for thanking him to all that he has done for her. She did not notice that a blue-eyed boy is staring intently at her.
The Wildcats decided to shop for grocery first before going to Taylor's slumber party. Troy stopped on his tracks when he saw the familiar blonde, looking around. Then he realized they're staring at each other. The others saw who Troy is looking at. They were all shocked, except for Ryan. The Wildcats approached her, including Troy.
"Sharpay, what are you doing here?" Ryan asked.
"I'll just buy ingredients for our dinner later." Sharpay replied.
Their friends just looked at the siblings. They don't have any idea on what's happening. Sharpay seems strange.
"Sharpay . . ." Troy whispered.
"Uhm, hey! Do I know you?" Sharpay smiled at Troy.
The Wildcats was shocked even more. It's impossible for Sharpay to just forget Troy after what happened.
Before Troy could reply, Sharpay spoke again.
"Oh sorry. I did not realize. Ryan, these are your friends, right?"
Ryan nodded.
"Guys, I have something to tell you. Listen to me first okay?" Ryan said.
All of them just nodded and listen intently.
"I'm sorry guys but don't blame me. I just found it yesterday when she arrived back." Ryan looked at Sharpay's expression. She's just also listening.
"Come on Ryan, just tell us what really happened." Taylor yelled.
"Okay, okay. Here it is. Sharpay-" Ryan was about to continue his story but Jason cut him off.
"Would you like to go with us later Sharpay? Taylor will have a slumber party."
"Yeah! I can bake you some of my new recipes too!" Zeke added.
They angrily stared at the two.
"What?" Jason and Zeke asked in unison.
"Come on Ryan, please tell us." Gabriella pleaded.
Ryan smiled at Sharpay, waiting for her approval. She nodded so he started talking.
"Guys, do you remember when Sharpay got in an accident after she ran away at the wedding too?"
They all nodded.
"She has amnesia."
