Rydel’s POV

 

“This parts so sad!!” I said.

“Aw it’s ok! She’ll be ok!! She’s gonna come back! Cause as you’ve said, have you seen his face??” Ell said.

Sooo we’re watching High School Musical 2!!!!!!! And we’re at the part where she’s leaving and she’s singing Gotta Go My Own Way to Troy!!!! IT’S SO FREAKING SAD!!!!!!!!!!!

“I gotta say what’s on my mind, something about us doesn’t seem right these day, life keeps getting in the way, whenever we try somehow the plan is always rearranged, it’s so hard to say, but I gotta do what’s best for me, you’ll be ok, I’ve got to move and be who I am, I just don’t belong here, I hope you understand, we might find a place in this world someday, but at least for now, I gotta go my own way. Don’t wanna leave it all behind, but I get my hopes up, and I watch them fall everytime, another color turns to grey, and it’s just so hard to watch it all slowly fade away, I’m leavin today, cause I’ve gotta do what’s best for me, you’ll be ok, I’ve got to move on and be who I am, I just don’t belong here, I hope you understand, we might find a place in this world someday, but at least for now, I gotta go my own way.” I sang.

“What about us? What about everything we’ve been through?” Ell joined in.

“What about trust?”

“You know I never wanted to hurt you!”

“What about me!?”

“What am I supposed to do?”

“I gotta leave but,”

“I’ll miss you.” We both sang.

“So, I’ve got to move on and be who I am,”

“Why do you have to go?”

“I just don’t belong here, I hope you understand,”

“I’m tryin to understand!”

“We might find a place in this world some day but at least for now,"

“I want you stay!”

“I wanna go my own way! I’ve got to move on and be who I am,”

“What about us?”

“I just don’t belong here, I hope you understand,”

“I’m tryin to understand!”

“We might find a place in this world someday, but at least for now, I gotta go my own way. I gotta go my own way. I gotta go, my own way.” I ended the song. We were now standing barely an inch apart. I was about to kiss him when my phone rang.

“One sec!” I said.

“No problem!” He said. I giggled and answered my phone.

 ~Phone convo~

 Rydel: Almost miss Ellington Ratliff, how may I help you?

Talia: Hey Rydel it’s Talia! Um we have a problem. Um Maya is out on a date with Riker and-

 Rydel: How is that a bad thing?

 Talia: You didn’t let me finish. Maya said he went to go answer the phone and he didn’t come back so she went outside to look for him and she found him knocked out in an alleyway bleeding.

 Rydel: WHAT!?!?!?

 Talia: She’s freaking out! And she called the cops and the hospital but there’s no police station or hospital anywhere close to where they are, so it’ll take at least an 30 minutes to an hour for them to get there.
