Y/n's head was spinning. It's been two weeks since she went off on EJ. Did she feel bad? Kinda. But not completely. It had also been two weeks since she had an actual conversation with him.
EJ knew she was in a bad relationship, he knew she had been cheated on multiple times and that she was afraid of that happening again.
The girl hoisted her school bag higher onto her shoulder, slamming her locker shut as Ashlyn approached her. "Hey girl, how you been?"
"I've been fine." Y/n shrugged, holding onto the strap to her bag as she turned around, walking towards the theater where they were rehearsing. She tossed her bag to the side, walking onto the stage making her way to where she stood.
Miss. Jenn came in, followed by Carlos, giving instructions on what to do. "Today we'll be starting with a Troy and Gabriella singing what I've been looking for. Ricky is out sick so EJ, you get to fill in, again." Miss. Jenn smiled at him, clasping her hands together.
Y/n rolled her eyes, looking at EJ. EJ avoided looking at her as he walked up onto the stage.
Seb started playing the piano as EJ stood beside it, singing. She joined in on her cue, walking over to stand on the opposite side of the piano.
EJ took a step towards her, "I never had someone who knows me like you do, the way you do."
Being part of the choreography, she too stepped towards him, singing with him.
She may or may not have gotten a little aggressive when she started to sing. But when they finished, Miss. Jenn rose from her seat, clapping.
"You've finally came of your shell!" Nini rushed forward, grabbing Y/n's hands jumping slightly, a grin spread across her face.
"Y/n! Excellent!" Miss. Jenn. "I love how you're not so closed off, but maybe, since we want to portray... A kinder emotion between Troy and Gabriella, you should be less... Tense."
"I'll be less tense one Ricky's back. It's easier to act when at least one of us is more compassionate towards the other." She gave a curt smile. "I'm sorry, could I please take five?"
Miss. Jenn nodded and quickly, Y/n left the room. Someone followed closely behind her. "Y/n, Y/n please... Talk to me..."
"Fine, want me to talk? I'll talk-" She turned around. "I love you. But I've been hurt. Okay? I have trust issues so even if you were to reassure me, and tell me that you'd never hurt me and you'd love me forever, I wouldn't believe it. Is that because of anything you have ever done? Aside from stealing my phone, no. EJ, you kept making it a big deal. You made it seem like such an issue that I hadn't said those three little words yet... I thought I made it abundantly clear that I love you..."
"You said it-" EJ glanced up at Y/n "You said it..."
"Because I do... EJ, I loved you before we got in a fight, and I still do. But I don't do well when people are pressuring me. I felt pressured to say it, just like I did in my last relationship..."
EJ took a few steps towards Y/n, placing his hands on her arms gently. "I am really, really sorry... For everything. I'm sorry that I stoke your phone, I'm sorry I made you feel pressured to say that you love me... And I am incredibly sorry I made you listen to that awful apology song-"
Y/n couldn't help but chuckle quietly.
"I'm sorry, Y/n... Could you please give me a second chance? Please?"
She sighed, looking at the floor then back at EJ. "On. more. chance." A small smile laced her lips. "But mess up again, and it's done."

I really wanted to make this with a sad ending but I decided not to... Buuut, if you scroll down, I added the sad ending in the paragraph below. I only changed the very end so I only added the part after they left the theater.

Y/n shook her head, tears that had filled her eyes, slipped down her face.
"I'm sorry, Y/n... Could you please give me a second chance? Please?"
She sighed, looking at the floor then back at EJ. "No. No, I can't. It's over... For good."
