High School Musical 3 Senior Year: Troy Bolton x Reader

CHAPTER 8

WEEKS HAVE PASSED SINCE TROY'S AND Y/N'S DATE. As each week passed, the couple grew anxious, not ready to say good bye.

The night before she was set to leave, Y/N stares up at her ceiling in her empty room. Everything has been packed away in boxes, ready to be brought to the new house. She turns in her bed as she smiles sadly at the picture of her and Troy last summer, standing on the golf course.

"I guess I should've known better
To believe that my luck had changed
Oh, I let my heart and forever
Finally learn each other's name
I tell myself this time
it's different
No goodbyes
'cause I can't bear to say it.

"I'd never survive the one
that's coming
If I stay
Oh, no
Just walk away and don't look back
Cause if my heart breaks
it's gonna hurt so bad
You know I'm strong
but I can't take that
Before it's too late.

"Oh, just walk away
Walk, walk, walk away
Oh, just walk away
Walk, walk, walk away
Oh, just walk away.

"I've got to let it go
Start protecting my heart and soul
Cause I don't think
I'll survive a goodbye again
Not again
Just walk away
Oh, and don't look back
Cause if my heart breaks
it's gonna hurt so bad." Y/N walks down the stairs of her old house, staring at the blank walls that were once filled with happy memories.

"You know I'm strong
but I can't take that
Before it's too late
Oh, oh, oh
Just walk away
Walk, walk, walk away
Walk away, walk away, yeah
Walk, walk, walk away
Walk away, walk away
Walk, walk, walk away
Walk away, walk away
Walk, walk, walk away
Walk away, walk away
Oh, ohhh."

Y/N looks sadly at the for sale sign in front of her house, before running towards her mom's car, tears in her eyes. Her mom smiles sadly at her, as Y/N watches her old house fade away from view as her mom drives away.

The week after Y/N left, Troy sits in the auditorium as Ms. Darbus waves her hands to gather to attention of everyone. Troy keeps his head down.

"All right, everyone! Attention, please!" Ms. Darbus calls. "Listen up. As some of you know, Miss Montez is no longer available to us. However, the show must indeed go on. So, Sharpay, you will do Y/N's duet with Troy. Tiara, ready to step in for Sharpay?"

"Those sparkling shoes are impossible to fill." The English student replied, but nodded her head.

"Don't worry. Kelsey will work with you."

"Hmm." Kelsey just frowns, feeling the glum mood that Y/N's absence has left everyone in. Well not everyone.

"Come on, people." Sharpay exclaims, standing next to Ms. Darbus. "Let's rise to the occasion. We're all pros here. Let's do it for Y/N. OK? Kelsi, Troy, Ryan. Piano." Sharpay demands causing everyone to reluctantly move.

"All right, we have a lot of work to do." Ms. Darbus calls as everyone moves. There are sets to paint. Drill that second number. Let's go! Come on people, double time!"
