"So you feeling better?" Sharpay asked Gabi after they were back in their room

"Yeah thanks for everything." Gabriella said to her new friend as they sat down together on the bed

"I cancelled my date tonight." She informed the latina

"You shouldn't have done that. I'm feeling better, trust me." The decathalon member faked a smile

"Gabi don't pretend. I know that your hurt right now. You don't have to be strong and act like its alright." Shar told her

"Would it bother you if I just watched some TV. I really need to just escape." Gabriella gave the blonde a small smile

"Of course not." The twin smiled back going over to her own bed and checking her phone surprised to find she had a text message

Outside 15 minutes. Please.

-T

"Shit." She cursed silently noticing the text had been sent 10 minutes ago

"Gab that was Ryan. Will you be alright?" Shar lied

"Yeah go on." The brunette replied

"I'll go tell Luke that your alone." Sharpay called when she was out the door

"Where is she?" Troy asked himself looking down at his cell phone to check the time noting that not even a minute had passed since he last looked

"Ryan do you understand me?" Sharpay asked as she rode the elevator

"Yes I understand. You are blowing off your new friend slash kinda boyfriend for a little rendesvous with Troy. Oh and I'm your cover." He teased

"Ryan please." The oldest twin pleaded

"I'm going to the cafe down the block. Text me when you guys are done and I'll meet you with a cap so there won't be questions." Ryan said

"Thanks bro." Shar replied before hanging up

"I didn't think you were coming." A voice admitted from the sidewalk

"Neither did I." She told him as he stood up in front of her

"Can we go for a walk?" Troy questioned as the blonde simply nodded her head in agreement

"I'm coming!" Gabi called to the person on the other side of the door

"You okay?" Luke asked as she let him in

"Getting there. You and Shar have been great to me all day." She patted the bed beside her as they sat down

"Troy had no right to treat you like that. I mean he was a dick to Sharpay and now to you. Maybe he doesn't know how to treat a lady." The quarterback told her (A/N: A lady I laughed when I typed that)

"Troy is usually great to me. Just every once in a while we fight. But we always make up." Gabriella said

"He just doesn't know what a good thing he has." Luke determined

"That's sweet." The latina smiled

"I can't get over how beautiful your eyes are." He admitted placing a strand of hair behind her ear

"Thank you." Gabriella blushed

"My pleasure." The quarterback replied sincerely his hands cupping her face

"Luke." The decathalon member whimpered before leaning up to capture his lips

"What did you want to talk about?" Sharpay questioned as they walked down the sidewalk with their ice cream cones

"I thought that I should apologize for earlier and clear some things up." Troy told her

"What is there to clear up?" She asked sitting down on the stairs to an old building and patting the step beside her

"Shar, earlier you accused me of only wanting to be with you so I could get more action. Now do you honestly believe that?" He questioned

"Sort of." The blonde sighed

"That was never the reason that I wanted to be with you. You know the way I felt about you. I would have done anything for you." The blonde eyed boy attempted

"Except stay faithful." Sharpay shot

"You told me I could. What did you want from me Shar? I was a boy with needs" Troy argued

"What I wanted? I wanted you to fight for me. I wanted you to say that there was no one else that you could ever be with. And that you'd rather be alone than without me." The twin declared the tears freely flowing down her face (A/N: One of the best Brucas moments ever! OTH)

"I never meant to hurt you. Shar you have to know that." He pleaded looking at her with his own tears in his eyes

"You know what hurt me the most? When you said you were done? Do you remember? It was before Christmas Break (HSM 1). You swore you were done." She began

"I don't understand." Troy admitted

"I went to the cabin that you were at. Your parents and I had this big surprise since we wouldn't have been together for New Year's. So I walk into your room and what do I see?" The normally strong woman was slowly changing into a scared little girl

"Oh God." He mumbled knowing how this story would end

"You were on top of Gabriella Montez and she was moaning your name. So I hopped on a plane back home. Because, I had to get away from it. You destroyed me. You are the reason I became the Ice Queen. You, nobody else but you." Shar yelled

"Why didn't you tell me?" The basketball star questioned

"What good would it have done? So you could lie to me and tell me that it was the last time again. Troy I was tired of being the only one who fought to keep us alive, while you were out screwing every cheerleader, scholastic, skate chick, and athlete you could." The blonde cried

"It was never that simple." Troy said

"It wasn't? Really? It wasn't as easy as me in the day and some random girl at night?

(A/N: I got that from One Life To Live) I'm tired of this Troy." Sharpay informed him getting off the stairs and starting back on the sidewalk

"Sharpay..." The blue eyed boy whispered his hand lightly grabbing her arm

"Let me go Troy. Please. Just let go. Because I'm not strong enough to fight anymore." Shar breathed

"Baby I'm amazed by you." He said letting go of her arm and pulling her into a hug

"Bye Troy." She sobbed

"Bye Sweet Tart." Troy replied kissing her head before releasing her from his hold both emotionally and physically

Sharpay walked down the sidewalk never hearing Troy begin to cry. He had made the right decision. She needed him to let go, so he did. But there was no way he could do this alone. So, remembering he had passed a church he decided that was his destination. He needed some sort of guidance, maybe a sign, or maybe just Sharpay Evans.
