A Story By LaxLaxLand

When life hands you lemons...you need sugar to make the lemonade. Troyella.

Disclaimer: I do not own any characters from HSM. I am sorry if my plot matches with another; it is NOT on purpose.

The Bolton Family.

Troy, age 13...

Flashes to a boy with shaggy brown hair and blue eyes dribbling a basketball, lining up for a shot, and scoring.

Faith, age 11...

Flashes to a laughing girl with brown hair and blue eyes looking through racks of clothing at the mall with her two best friends and her mom.

Jack, age 39...

Flashes to a man with dark brown hair and blue eyes playing basketball with Troy.

Lucille, age 38...

Flashes to pregnant woman with dark blonde hair and brown eyes cooking a meal while laughing as her husband and son enjoy a one on one game of basketball.

On June 17, Lucille Bolton started seizing while eating dinner. The family rushed her to the hospital and as the doctors tried to revive her, they saved a baby boy, Connor Michael Bolton. Unfortunately, it was too late for Lucille and she died from a heart attack.

Jack went downhill from there...

Flashes to him drinking the nights away. Passing out. Driving drunk.

Shows the house becoming a wreck.

Flashes to a drunken Jack slamming his fist into Troy's face.

Flashes to Jack raping Faith while she is crying in pain.

Flashes to Connor crying and Jack stuffing a sock into his mouth. Faith and Troy rush in right after to save their little brother.

5 years later, Jack gets a call from the bank.

"You have got to be kidding me?!" Jack screamed into the phone.

"I'm sorry, but you lost all of your money to DUIs and buying alcohol. You are pretty much broke. My advice would be to move to another state and start over."

So that's what they did.

Flashes to Troy packing all of his things and then slamming a picture of his mom on the ground.

Flashes to Connor holding his bear and crying in the corner of his room.

Flashes to Faith hugging her best friend while crying.

As the family stepped in their new, rotted mobile home, the children all cringed. Jack cracked open a new beer and they walked to their tiny bedroom. The kids all had to share that one tiny room while Jack got his own. There was one twin bed and a sleeping bag on the floor.

Troy, age 17...

Flashes to him covered in bruises and cuts while sleeping in an old tee shirt and shorts on the floor with no blanket.

Faith, age 15...

Flashes to her naked on Jack's bed after he raped her. She is shaking and crying.

Connor, age 5...

Flashes to a little boy tossing and turning on the bed with nightmares about his father killing him. He is covered with little bruises and a large gash on his forehead.

Jack, age 44...

Flashes to a man passed out on the couch with bottles of beer all over the place.

This was their life now, and none of the three children liked it.

The Montez Family

Gabriella, age 17..

Flashes to a girl sliding a credit card through a machine while giggling with her three best friends.

Maria, age 39...

Flashes to a woman designing a new fashion line for her collection of clothes called My Ella.

Greg, age 40...

Flashes to a man sitting in a room talking to the other senator of New Mexico.

They had the fairy tale life...a big house, maids, nice cars, lots of money, and lots of friends.

Gabriella is the most popular girl at East High School. Yes, she is going to public school because she wanted the bigger school with more people and easier work. She is dating Chase Owens, basketball captain, school president, and most popular guy in school.

Her world is about to be brought to the ground as she learns what it is like to be not so fortunate from none other than Troy Bolton himself.
