Authors note: This story originally was written by Writing FanFic but I made it with it with my own twist. Please go give that a read. I may write more chapters but let me know how I did.
Sharpay POV
I don't really know where to begin...Even now I'm still confused about all this. How did this all start? I can't recall. I think the best would be to start from the party... Yes that's when ALL started. My mess. Our mess. You surely remember me from East High the "Ice Queen" as the Wildcats used to call me, the perfect princess who had all what she wanted. Well, I've grown up since...Whether I wanted or not. You do remember my brother Ryan who always accompanied me everywhere, and always did what I ordered (rather shouted) him to do? Well, he still does follow me and does as directed but I'm way softer than before simply because as already said: I've grown up.
Once graduated, once the final curtain fell on East High, me and my brother had decided to throw a party with our closest "friends" at home. Our parents encouraged us so much in doing this that we couldn't refuse even if I wanted to. Anyway, let's get straight to the point. The reason why you are here in the first place. At some points of this story, you will hear from both mine and Ryan's point of view. Shall we begin.
It all started on a Friday night. Mom and dad were already gone leaving us alone in the mansion. My twin brother Ryan also was already dressed and ready to party. As for me, I was still thinking about my dress and shoes. I wanted to look as amazing as I should. After all we are all splitting up and going our own ways in a few weeks.
"Ryan!" I shouted my head out of the chamber while my body remained inside. I could hear his footsteps approaching my room. He knocked on my door and I told him he could enter. He seems bothered that I needed his help. Oh well this was about me not him.
He crossed his arms as he looked at my almost naked body. I was wearing my bra and underwear. With a sly remark he said, "Yes my dear lovely twin of mine who could do no wrong?" His snarky attitude made me want to slap him, but I had no time to do that. The party was soon.
I held out two dresses and held them out to him. " Be a dear and take these two dresses and tell me which I should dress with." He sighed deeply and took the two dresses.
Ryan took them and while analyzing them said "Why can't I just come in the closet?"
"Because I'm not dressed...I simply have my underwear on that's why."
He sighed with frustration and handed me a pink dress through the door. I faked a smiled and closed the door all at once. An hour later I went downstairs and looked closely into the nearest mirror, Ryan who happened to come across stopped by my room to check up on me.
"You are perfect." He smiled and held out his hand. "Our guests will be here in less than a minute. Let's greet our fellow Wildcats!"
I took his hand, and he kissed it. He was always a gentleman. Any person was lucky to have my brother has their lover. "Thank you. You are so nice. It's a shame that I don't have a boyfriend as cool and gallant as you are dear brother". He snickered at my comment. And as Ryan had said before, their guests were waiting on the front door. Never late they were.
Ryan POV
Everyone had arrived. It seemed like they all carpooled or something. I let them all in. The maid and butlers showed them the way to the backyard to where everything was set up. I started to welcome them all, but my beloved sister took charge of it, and I had the pleasure to welcome myself Gabriella. Sharpay glanced at me. She knew I had a thing for her but not everyone knew since she was with Troy. Basketball star and most recently the singer. I guess you can have it all.
The party was fun for the most part. Troy was mostly talking to the guys while she was with her friends. I was drinking liquor and was just eyeing her all night long. Sharpay made her way over to me to make sure I was good but I told her I was fine mostly.
"Are you having a good time?" Kelsi walked over after Sharpay left. She looked cute in her outfit. I nodded and held up my drink.
"I'm just chilled. Watching from afar" I informed her.
She was my prom date, but I wanted Gabriella more than anything but of course Troy had to get her instead. I chugged down my drink and Kelsi eyes opened with concerned. "Are you sure? You seem stressed?"
I chuckled and shrugged. "Don't worry. I am fine" She sighed and took her leave with my answer. I walked over to the bar to get another drink and then leaned against the bar drinking a beer when she appeared out of the blue, the sublime and beautiful Gabriella Montez.
Her hips was swaying to the music. "So, Ryan how are you now that you are graduated?" she asked, wearing that smile of hers. I opened my mouth and shut it all at once, remaining speechless in front of this pure beauty. Once I recollected my focus and determination to speak with her, I got started on.
"I'm doing fine thank you. What 'bout you Gabriella?" She giggled as she noticed I was a bit tipsy. She smelled like strawberries, and I wanted a taste, but I could see Troy looking over at me. Ever since the past few months he has been watching me. Not like I'll make a move… Yet.
She placed her drink down "You can call me Gab you know. It's a bit of a surprise but...I'm engaged". She held out her hand with the ring and was smiling ear to ear.
My heart was crushed, and I felt sick as if I was about to vomit everywhere. I tried to say "Yeaaah" but unsuccessfully. I took another sip of my beer and looked furtively at the crowd trying to locate Sharpay.
She turned her head to look to where I was looking but turned back to me. " Who are you searching exactly?" Interrupted Gabriella. I was trying hard to hold back my tears and throw up. This was not how I was planning the night to go. I wanted to run away.
"No one" was my mere response. Once I located my target who was trying hard to talk to Troy, I resumed my conversation with Gabriella. Sharpay is going to be crushed when she finds out.
I swirled my drink in my can and looked down. I could show sign of sadness. Not in front of her. I looked up and asked, "So Troy finally asked you to marry him?"
Her smile faded a bit and I took notice of that but then she perked up. Something wasn't right when she frowned "Yes. But please don't tell anyone or he's going to be mad at me he wants to tell you all about it tonight." The fact that he's using our party to announcing this pissed me off deeply. This time it was my target who locked on to me and stared me at, but the problem is Gab noticed that too.
"Why is your sister glaring at you?" She asked a bit...A bit gullible.
I shrugged as I put the drink towards my lips. "I'm not sure. She's a mystery" We chuckled. We chatted for a few more minutes and then she walked back over to Troy. I deeply sighed and watched her walk away from me. Maybe this is for the best after all I will be going to college and that was more important that the beautiful girl getting away. I saw Sharpay make her way over to me.
"What was that about" She was angry. "What did she want" I shook my head and threw it back.
She snatched the drink from me and I glared at her. I took it back and backed away from her. "Cool is Shar"
"Ryan you're drunk. You need to go to bed" Her hand grabbed mine but I pulled away.
"Piss off sis." I drank the rest "You're about to be pressed in a few" She was confused on what I was trying to say. As if it was coincidence Troy began to call out to everyone. Here it comes hope Sharpay is ready.
Sharpay POV
When I saw that little Gabriella girl speaking with my brother, I immediately knew that something was coming. But I wasn't worried about that. Ryan was drunk but he was being rude as hell to me. I couldn't scolded him like I wanted to because too many people but dam him right now. As if things could get any worse, I hear Troy trying to get everyone's attention. This couldn't be good.
"My friends my Wildcats!" he shouted in order to make himself heard. As a result, all the people in the house turned their attention towards him (and not to me for once). "I'd like to share with you all a specific news my dear Gabriella Montez has accepted to become my wife...We are engaged!" Everyone cheered and I stood there frozen. WTF ? He couldn't do it to me! My Troy no that couldn't be! Gabriella is not fit for...I looked over at Ryan and he nodded to let me know this was real. I was hurt, angry and ran inside of my house with tears down my face. How could he get engaged to her. I've known him since elementary school. I sobbed in the kitchen as I felt my heart shatter to pieces. Walking towards the mirror I looked at myself as I didn't know what else to do. I went upstairs to change quickly. I put on sweat pants and a shirt that exposed my stomach. I had my hair up in a ponytail.
After getting dressed I went to look in the mirror. I washed my face from the tears and made my way back outside. Taylor was gawking over Gabriella's ring. While Kelsi was asking to play the piano at their wedding. I scoffed as I walked back to where Ryan was still standing but with him was Zeke and Chad. "I was just looking for you!" Ryan stumbled and I placed my hand along my face. Ryan was wasted. I know he was upset finding out before me. Zeke helped Ryan to sober up while Chad stood next to me.
"Hey Sharpay. Enjoying the party so far?" asked Chad he watched Troy kiss his soon to be wife.
I turned round and faced him. "Yeah, I couldn't be happier than now..." He could tell I was this wasn't my best night. Suddenly something I would never have imagined, he offered me a drink from the bar (which I really needed). I unleashed all my rage and kind of passion to him while drinking many drinks that were not appropriate to me.
"I never was mean to him I even offered him to play with the RedHawks, my father did but anyway." I went on and on as I was now in the same boat as Ryan. Drunk but I was still aware of everything. He handed me a handkerchief and wiped my tears away. I didn't expect that much from Wildcat and above all from Troy's best friend. When I came to realize he was Troy's best friend it was too late.
"Let's go talk somewhere quieter" He whispered which sent a nice chill down my body. I kept trying to remind myself that this was Chad of all people, but my body wanted him. He was also drunk. We happened to found ourselves in my bedroom in less than a minute, and he came to me and gently pressed his lips against mine. I half knew it was wrong because he was Troy's best buddy but anyway, I wanted to. He kindly lifted up my shirt. I unclipped my bra as he descended over my panties with small and what seemed tender kisses on my thighs. A light moan left my lips. Was I really about to have sex with Chad. Yes, I was. I watched as he took off everything but his boxers. I didn't want to wait, so, I slipped off his boxers as he was standing in front of me. It was long and big. I almost second guessed this but no I was determined and told him to go ahead. He kissed me as he pinned me down to the bed. We had made love all night long until we were exhausted.
The next morning, I woke up with a beaming headache. I groaned as I sat up in my bed as I tried to remember what had happed to me. I looked over to my right I see a big puffy afro. I grabbed my sheet and covered my body. I blinked a few times and the body next to me slowly arise from his slumber. His eyes finally locked onto mine.
We had no words. He grabbed his clothes and got dressed. I saw the marks on my neck and body from the mirror on my left. I watched as he put on his shoes and zipped up his pants. "I- I am not sure what or how this happened. But I am truly sorry" He whispered he walked over to my side and gave me a kiss on my forehead. "Do take care" I watched as he walked out. I had sex with Chad Danforth. This could not be real nor my life. After taking a shower, I made my way downstairs. Ryan was in the kitchen drinking tea. I hope he didn't see Chad leave. I sat across from him and he looked out of it. One of the maid poured me a cup of tea. I thanked them.
"Rough night?" He tried to joke. I wasn't in a joking mood. After all I did loose my virginity to my friend best friend.
I stirred my tea and nodded. "You have no idea. It's all a blur after they announced their engagement" we both sighed and figured it was best to just try and forget this even happening after all what's the worst that could happen?
It'd been a month since we threw that party and I have been feeling sick for the past few day. I haven't been able to focus on my studies. Just been in and out of the bathroom and just over all a mess. One morning, I woke up and tried to eat breakfast but I could stomach it. My stomach was queasy. I felt extremely dizzy. Ryan sat next to me as he was eat. I felt my body beginning to black out. I tried to call out to him, but before he could realize what was happening, I fainted.
Ryan POV
Sharpay fainted out of nowhere and I quickly helped her and laid her on the couch with the help of the butlers. Once they left, I placed a wet rag on her forehead. Good thing she was still breathing but something caught my eye. I looked over at her belly. It was a bit larger than usual. My mouth fell open and came to realize she had a fit when she couldn't fit one of her pants. She have also been looking pale. She slowly opened her eyes, and she stayed like this speechless for some minutes. I was the first to break the silence between us.
"Shar...Why did you faint?" I watched to see if she would give me right answer instead of some weird answer.
"Do you think I know?" She answered furiously.
"I think I do..." I said rather gravely.
Sharpay opened wide eyes and fainted once again. That was the last straw and I decided to take it to see a doctor and it all went very...Bad. We arrived at the place and she didn't want to see the doctor because she was afraid of what he could say but I was there to support her in every way and for everything. She was looking around the room with the other people who was going to be seen" Do you want me to go inside the room with you or..."
She shook her head over and over. "No please stay here you've done enough for me already". She replied. I respected her request and waited for her as she went in to see the doctor. I bent his head and sat down on the nearest chair. One hour later, she came out running towards me and hugging me with tears coming down.
"Ry... I'm...I...I'm pregnant." and she went on weeping. I wasn't surprised but this was something big. I held her close and sighed. I knew we would have to face our parents about this sooner or later.
Sharpay POV
It was a long drive home. Good thing Ryan knew how to drive because after the news today I don't think I could drive. Once we entered slowly into the house so as not to wake our parents and we made for the kitchen. My brother was the first to speak of us.
"So Shar...How are you going to tell Mom and Dad about that?" He pointed to my stomach, and I held my stomach. I had no idea how...Really but I knew I had to.
This was just way too much for me to handle and I am already two months in. "Don't know Ryan." I simply answered, lowering my head down tears started streaming down my cheeks. He gently pulled me into a hug and even kissed me on the forehead...Wow first time he did that to me. But even though we often had squabbled I loved that feeling when he pulled me into his arms and kissed me. Just at that moment our parents made their entry in the kitchen half awaken.
"Morning children!" said our father and he kissed the both of us very gently.
Our mother was too tired to speak to us at first nevertheless she was the one who noticed that my eyes were red from crying. "Sharpay darling what's wrong? Did you...Did you cry ?" She asked now fully woken up.
I gazed at Ryan who knew this was the sign that suggested me to speak plainly. But somehow I just couldn't, so Ryan did it to me (and God I'm thankful for this).
"Hum...Yes...Shar's been weeping about something...In... Deed."
Our parents now turned their attention to us. My heart was racing. They sat at the table and was waiting for the news. I began to sob again.
"So Sharpay what's wrong?" demanded Dad.
And that was the striking point...I couldn't refuse anything to my Dad even answering a question. Ryan turned pale and looked at me and when he met my eyes he knew I would finally give in.
"Alright...No need to hide it anymore. Mom. Dad... I'm going to tell you something that is...Hum...Is... Alright no beating about the bush...I'm pregnant." I said this with a chocked voice not confident at all.
They both was extremely shocked. "YOU WHAAAAAT?" Both of them shouted. I lowered my head, but Ryan decided to keep his head up for me. I know I messed up pretty bad.
"Who's the bloody father?" Asked my father calmer this time.
"A friend of ours..." Ryan looked at me with a questionable look. Now I know he wants to know who the father is. But he was too drunk to see me leave up to my room with Chad. Yea that's right, Chad is my child's father. I didn't have the heart to tell them, nor would I tell him.
Ryan gave me a soft glare because I wouldn't spill on who the father was. "Will you...Will you keep it?" Asked Mom.
I didn't know that yet...it was too much a pressure for me to announce that to our parents. "I don't know but I think I will." I answered calmly.
"Alright...Alright...If you keep it, you simply go out of this house you are not worth bearing the same name as your father and I." Was they really ready to disown me because of this child. My own parents? Ryan stood up in order to protest but was rapidly calmed down by Mom. I tried to look at my Dad but he seemed to be lost and confused just as I was at that moment. We planned it all day long and the moment was finally come. In a few moments flee and leave everything behind, just us. Ryan entered my room to check on me.
"Hey Shar, are you ok?" I looked up at him gave him a weak smile that might have said yes. He sat next to me on the bed and pulled her into his arms.
"Ry... will it be ok with you leaving with me? I mean It's struck my mind that I have nothing else to leave behind me but you...You got a place to Julliard, you made no silly mistake you have your girlfriend or sort of..." I said all this between soft sobs, but once I said what I said began to weep and cling even deeper in to his hug.
He patted my head and shushed me. "Listen Shar I would leave everything behind just to support you. You are my twin sister, we were born together we live this through together. I'll seek a job once we got settled and we will raise your baby the way you want." He answered plainly but still concerned about their future, because from one month now it had not been his sister's future that was at stake but theirs.
Normal POV
"It's time Shar." Ryan softly spoke. As if they both were robots, they rose from the bed, came downstairs and left a small piece of paper on the kitchen table for their parents to be aware of the present situation and the decision they'd taken earlier. The twins packed their things in Ryan's car and off they were. The whole trip was silent most of it. They first stopped at a shabby motel for Sharpay to rest and the following morning they were on the road at the crack of dawn for their true spot: L.A.
They bought a small house for the two (soon the three) of them and began settling as soon as possible. Months and months had passed since they left Evans's house and Sharpay had given birth to a little girl she named Carla. Ryan had just finished painting little Carla's bedroom that Sharpay decided to set her daughter up in there. Sharpay and Ryan had different rooms, of course Sharpay had asked for the bigger of the two and with a king size bed in it "just in case". For several years they hadn't had any contact with their parents and that pained both twins not to know if they were good or bad about their final decision.
Five entire years had passed and little Carla would soon began Elementary school. Ryan had found a fine job as choreographer in a High School near their home and Sharpay just took care of her daughter. Since Carla had only known one male within her environment, she got used to call Ryan "Dad" even if her mother and Ryan always had a chat about that.
Sharpay's POV
One summer evening Ryan and I were out in a restaurant and had left Carla to a babysitter. I could see he was confident to ask me a bold question.
"Say Shar, you never told me actually who the father of Carla was. So, I've been wondering...Who is it?" He took a sip of his wine.
A disquieting glare passed through my face when Ryan asked me this specific question, though I always knew one day I would face such questions. I giggled and moved uncomfortably on my chair while answering my brother. He waited for me to answer the question. I had never told him her last name because that would give it away. I hid all of them paperwork from him. Carla knows her last name, but I made sure she didn't tell Ryan. "I never...Never told you? Well...You're going to be mad at me...It's a Wildcat."
He rolled his eyes at my comment . "Yes, I remember you said so to our parents, but you never gave the name."
"Oh...That's...Hum...You remember this tall basketball player...?" My voice trailed off.
"Who? Zeke?" That was his first guess. I shook my head negatively. As much as Zeke liked me I figured he and Taylor hit it off since her and Chad didn't work out.
He took another guess as I sipped my drink. "Jason? Couldn't be because he wasn't that tall" He placed his finger under his chin as he tried to think hard about it. I once again shook my head. One thought crossed his mind and his mouth fell open. As he knew it couldn't be Troy since he was engaged to be married by that witch at the time. "Do you mean? CHAD DANFORTH? You slept with him of all people?" As a response I merely lowered my head and suddenly became interested in my meal, though the plate was empty. Ryan breathed heavily; I could see his chest heaved. I knew he would disappointed so I tried to find an excuse for my behavior towards that night.
"To my defense I was drunk that night...It happened the same night as the party we threw after graduating. When Troy announced his engagement to Gabriella I..." But I couldn't really excuse myself to my brother. I still felt ashamed of myself. What's worse is that I had moved without telling him. He hasn't seen his little girl in 5 years. He doesn't even know she exist. In many way she is just like him. She loves basketball and and being loud. There are times where she will scream "What team" or "What time is it" As Ryan taught her and she wanted to be a wildcat as well.
He glared at me with a bit of hate. I didn't want my twin to be upset with me. "You were furious towards Troy for that...So you decided to what? Take your revenge upon his best friend?" He was really pissed off. I couldn't blame him. I have been holing this for a long time.
I tried to hold back the tears "No that's not like that. He offered me a drink then two then..." He cut me off by saying.
"You offered him your bed, I guess? And at the same time your body?" Hearing this, I was torn apart. Never ever I would have thought my brother could be that cruel and rude towards her even if I did recognize I had it coming. He saw that he'd gone too far this time and went to comfort me as I was now crying. "I'm so sorry, it simply fell off my mouth. Let's come home I'll prepare you a hot chocolate before you go to sleep like we were kids." I kissed him gently on his right cheek and gave him a still weak smile. Once we got back home, we found little Carla fast asleep.
A few days later, Ryan, Carla and I went to a mall for shopping when we came across a group of people. Ryan seemed to have recognized someone among the group but I did not really. He gently tapped on my shoulders and jerked his head towards the said-group, and as a "coincidence" they turned round and a skinny dark-haired girl widened her smile upon seeing me and Ryan. It was only when a tall black and mass-haired boy turned, and I became pale upon seeing him and he did the same when he saw me. Last time we spoke was 5 years ago when he said sorry and left.
Ryan was extremely to see his fellow class mates here of all places "What team?" He shouted very proud of himself. Carla was confused as to what he was doing but realized what he was doing.
"Wildcats!" They all burst out in a laugh all except me, of course who was too frozen to collect my sense. They went to us and hugged us and made little kisses to my daughter. Gabriella was, as a matter of fact, who talked to me about Carla.
She waved over towards me, and I sighed as I was how she blossomed. Still married to Troy. I saw as Chad looked over at me and I tried to ignore him. "Hey Shar! Who's that cute little thing next to you?" She inquired with a smile while kneeling down to be at my daughter's level. Carla held my hand tight. Her hair was the same texture as Chad's and was in afro puffs. Ironically they were wearing the same colors. Yellow shirt and black pants. She was his twin. No doubt about it.
I faked a smile and introduced my little girl who was now in fact five years old (Time does fly). Ryan who was talking to Troy about old days suddenly turned his head and paid attention to Gabriella Montez 'like old days'. He went by my side and put on a real frank smile.
"It's her daughter Carla". He smiled "She's a smart girl" I thanked my brother inside my head for answering for me for I couldn't actually talk right now my eyes still fixed on on Chad. Troy made his way over and looked at Carla then at me. "Aww she's cute." He had a basketball in his hand and handed it to her. "Do you like basketball?" She nodded furiously.
"I love basketball" He handed her the ball and she started doing little moves which was similar to Chad's. Chad watched as she was doing exactly what he did on the court when he was back in high school.
Gabriella squealed with joy. "Aw she's so cute. Chad you should take notes" She joked, and he chuckled nervously.
Troy looked over to Chad and bumped his shoulder "You okay dude?" Troy asked his friend. He nodded.
"I'm fine…" He still had his gaze on me and our daughter. Carly handed the ball back to Troy.
Carla looked at Chad and pointed at him. "Who are you?" Carla asked him. He broke eye contact with me and bent to be at her level and smiled weakly seeing the resemblance with him, which gave him quite of a shock. He knew all too well. He looked up and me then back at her.
He cleared his throat and tried to sound positive "My name's Chad... Yea, my name is Chad." He hesitated. Ryan took notice and I was now nervous because Carla was smart. I have shown her pictures of her real father. Which was Chad. I observed with intense this sort of game between the two of them. She then looked up at me and pulled on my skirt to catch my attention.
Carla looked at the wildcats and then back at me. " Mom, can we invite them all at home tomorrow night?" We were all stunned by her question, and before I could answer her properly Ryan took care of that.
"Of course, we can sweetie!" He glared at me and faked a smile on his face continued to talk to Gabriella.
It was Troy this time who asked my little thing a question, and what a question. Boy I wish he didn't. Chad stood up and looked at Troy.
He cleared his throat and smiled at Carla. "Say, is it just you and your mommy along with your uncle?" My heart pounded.
"Troy…" Gabriella spoked as she scolded him. "You don't ask kids that" She bent down to Carla's level and smiled. "What my husband is trying at ask is what is your full name sweetie" I could hear my heart at this point.
Carla looked up at me and I nodded, giving her permission to say her full name. She smiled back at Gabriella and said, "My full name is Carla Chadlee Danforth." The look of realization on everyone's face when they heard her full name made me sick. Troy turned pale and looked at me and Chad alternatively. Everyone in the group stayed still, especially me. This was not going how I wanted it to. I was indexed screwed
