so i was trying to upload this story but my sstupid computer wouldn't let me. but i had it finished a while ago and had to wait for the 5 reviews. luckily, i got more than 5 reviews. i heart all of you who reviewed. thanks so much. and yes, this is the final chapter.btw, the song lyrics are from my fave Rascal Flatts song, aka the song that always makes me want to cry, What Hurts The Most. listen to it and you'll get it more.

I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house
that don't bother me

I can take a few tears now and then and just let them out

I'm not afraid to cry, every once in a while, even though, going on with you gone still upsets me

There are days every now and again

I pretend

I'm okay

But that's not what gets me

Sharpay was sitting on her window seat, looking out the window. It was raining and she sat and cried silently as the rain dripped down her window.

And what hurts the most

Was bein' so close,

And watching you walk away

And havin' so much to say

Troy sat in his room thinking about the day. It was raining and it seemed to reflect his mood. He thought about today's events.

FLASHBACK:

"Sharpay! Get the door please!" Ryan yelled from the bathroom. Sharpay had just woken up about an hour ago but was lazily roaming the house. Her pin straight hair was in a ponytail and she had on soffees and an old t-shirt.

"Fine!" Sharpay said and walked downstairs, grabbing a sweatshirt. "Hello?"

"Hey Sharpay listen I really need to talk to you." Troy said, rushing in before she could close the door.

"What do you want Bolton?" Sharpay said, typical Ice Queen coming back into her voice.

"What you saw wasn't what it looked like. Seriously." Troy said.

"Just stop Troy. I don't want to hear it. I hate you. I never want to talk to you again. Go screw a tree." Sharpay said, about to cry, before running upstairs.

END OF FLASHBACK.

Never knowin'

What could've been

And not seein' that lovin' you

That's what I was tryin' to do.

He had so much he wanted to say to her but when she yelled at him and ran off, he realized how truly and deeply he had hurt her again.

It's hard to deal with the pain of losin' you everywhere I go
But I'm doing it
It's hard to force that smile when I see our old friends
And I'm alone
Still harder gettin' up, gettin' dressed, livin' with this regret
But I know if I could do it over
I would trade, give away all the words that I saved
In my heart that I left unspoken

Sharpay remembered all the good things in her life. She grabbed her journal and wrote in an entry.

Dear Journal,

Why? Why me? Why do I have to fall in love with Troy Bolton? I love him but he loves Gabi who loves Ryan who loves her back. I hate life.

Sharpay.

She closed her journal and sighed. Life sucked. She began to cry again as her cell phone rang. 'Troy' flashed on the caller id but she didn't even look. "Hello?"

"And What hurts the most

was bein' so close
And havin' so much to say
And watchin' you walk away
And never knowin' what could've been
And not seein' that lovin' you
Is what I was tryin' to do."

"Troy?" Sharpay asked.

"Sharpay, I'm so sorry. But could you open your window? I'm getting soaked." Troy said, letting out a nervous chuckle. Sharpay looked up and sure enough, there was Troy, on a ladder, in the middle of a storm, outside her window, singing for her. She quickly opened the window and helped him in. she went to the bathroom that connected hers and Ryan's rooms and grabbed a towel, coming back and handing it to Troy.

"Troy-" Sharpay began.

"No, Sharpay, look. I'm so sorry." Troy said and grabbed her into a kiss. He poured all of his emotions that he had been bottling up for the past week into the kiss and so did she. When they finally broke the kiss, Sharpay broke the silence first.

"I was just going to say that you can borrow some on Ryan's clothes." Sharpay said and laughed.

"Do you forgive me?" Troy asked, still hugging her.

"Yes, I do." Sharpay said. Ryan had explained to her what had really happened and she had not really understood but Troy's kiss explained it all.

And not seein' that lovin' you,

That's what I was tryin' to do.


Later that day, Gabi and Ryan were in the Evans's house since it had been raining all day and they had nothing to do. Gabi wanted to check in on Sharpay and try to apologize but she had a feeling that Sharpay wouldn't hear it. But she decided to try anyway. She knocked on the door and when they heard no answer, Ryan opened the door and poked his head in.

"Wow." Ryan said and dropped a book he was holding. He opened the door and let Gabi see what was so surprising, causing them both to drop their jaws to the floor. There, sitting by the window seat, was Troy and Sharpay, nestled in close together, sleeping as if nothing had happened.
