Yeah, I'm back with yet another new story. Whoopie, this one shouldn't be all that long. To be honest it probably won't. Anyway this is "Do whatcha gotta do to come back." Enjoy!
I do NOT own High School Musical, All I own is my plot and made up characters. I am telling this through the character's eyes, this IS NOT ME. Thank you!

"Hey, you."
I pointed to myself and looked behind me, then back at my father.
"Yes you, come here for a moment. And sit on daddy's lap."
Why was my Daddy, asking me to come and sit on his lap? Was I getting another butt whooping? But I haven't done anything wrong today; I stayed close by Mommy and Auntie Mommy and followed their orders, and went to bed like I was told to, three hours ago. I sucked in a breath and allowed my feet to go over to my father who sat on the edge of the bed that I shared with Mommy, and climbed into Daddy's lap. Daddy began to stoke my cheek then began to feel his way along my leg, up to my thigh and came close to touching where I was connected to the rest of my body when the door flew open.
"Get your filthy hands off of her!"
I had been pushed to the floor, where I sat on my butt looking at who came in. It was my best friend, Corbin. What was he doing? Was Daddy doing what he told me that was wrong and that I should scream for someone? I silently began to cry and I curled into a ball, when I heard something hit the floor.
"If I can't have her, then you be the bad guy and take her! You little gay prick."
The door slammed shut, and the lock was put on. I sat up and looked in the dark room, through my tears I saw my best friend holding his cheek and laying on his side. I crawled over to him, and poked his side. Instantly he gathered me up into a hug and held onto me. Kissing my forehead and telling me it was his fault, he didn't mean to. What was he talking about?
"Misty, I'm soo sorry. I had fallen asleep for just a few moments, if I would have only been awake for a few more minutes I would have been able to stop him from coming in."
"But Corb, it wasn't your fault I shouldn't have went to use the bathroom and I should have screamed like you told me."
Corbin then stopped kissing my forehead and turned my head to meet his eyes.
"Misty, anything horrible that is happing to you now, too young for you to realize how bad, will not ever be YOUR fault, do you hear me?"
I nodded my head and Corbin wiped away my tears, picked me up placed me in the bed, tucked me in and walked over to the corner, closest to the door and sat down and with an angry face glared at the door. I turned to the window, which only had a few noticeable stars showing and wished. For Corbin to have a better life, and for me to go with him.
A few months later our parents, "Uncle Daddy and Auntie Mommy" went out for a "date". I didn't really care, I had skinned my knee really badly the other day and Corbin had to bandage it up, since Mommy and Aunt Mommy were to "out of it" to look at it. I had to limp around the house because if my Daddy saw that I had hurt myself he would turn around and everyone, including myself would catch double LL for just being there. So after Corbin and I had eaten dinner, which tonight was lumpy chili Rebecca, our Babysitter that has been around baby sitting us since I was probably a baby rang the doorbell. Corbin went to the door to answer it, since our "parents" had left probably twenty minutes ago. Corbin informed her that we had already eaten and was almost time for my bath, Not that I dreaded them but I didn't like being away from Corbin for long periods of time and he would wait outside the door until Rebecca and I had come out and to put the "little one" to bed. I had all my clothes off when Rebecca had looked at my back.
"Misty? Why do you have bruises all over your back?"
Rebecca gently touched my back and I jumped about two feet in the air. It was slowly coming back, Daddy had come home pretty drunk the last two nights and I had been in the bathroom too long and I had gotten thrown into the trashy living room and broke the coffee table, which set him off even more but by then Corbin had come in and saved me, but only got himself hurt for interfering with my lesson being taught. Rebecca then checked out the rest of my body, I had a burn mark from my Uncle Daddy's rage and drunken stupidness with his cigarette. I probably had hand marks all over my body, as well as other bruises that I knew nothing about. Rebecca's face turned into a hard line and gently placed me into the tub and handed me a washcloth to wash up. I was getting pretty good at washing myself up, for being six and half. Although Corbin could already take baths by himself. Rebecca stood up, Corbin came to the bathroom door and told her she had a phone call. She walked out and I sat there, playing with the bubbles in my bath and waited until Rebecca came back.
I had probably been in the tub about two minutes when Rebecca came back, with my pink pajamas in hand. She drained the tub, helped me out dried me off carefully and helped me into my pj's then I was put into bed. I laid there, in the bed wondering what happened. Usually I would be in the tub for a few more minutes, and Rebecca would wash me over again then she would blow dry my hair, brush it and styled it and then read me to sleep. But not tonight something was going on, and I wanted to find out but my eyes became heavy and I drifted off to sleep.
"Come on hunney, time to wake up."
I slowly opened my eyes, and someone lifted me out of bed and into their arms. It felt like some sort of hard material, stiff and kind of scratchy but I didn't mind it, they were soft and warm and I didn't mind it. I was taken outside, which wasn't too cold but a bit nippy and I clung tighter to the person, they placed me in a car, on a cold seat. I was now awake, and becoming worried, where was Corbin and whose car was I in? Moments later Corbin climbed in, and huddled up next to me. I hung onto him like a dream, daring not to let go.
"We did it Misty, we're finally getting away our dreams are coming true!" Corbin Sand happliy
I looked at Corbin like he had lost his mind, what was he talking about? What dream? Before I could ask him, a man opened the door and ordered Corbin out of the car.
"But I'm her brother!" Corbin yelled
"Nice try kid, you're not blood related." The man replied with a gruff voice, "We can do this the easy way, or we can escort you harshly you choose."
"Alright, I'm coming just let me say goodbye to her."
The man sighed and leaned up against the car and waited. Corbin took both of my hands and squeezed them gently. He slipped his necklace off of his neck and put it on me.
"Misty, were going to be separated, you have to be a big strong girl now okay? The people that have us now will love us; never touch a hair on our heads I promise you." Corbin's voice was shaky, as if he didn't believe it himself
"Corbin what's going on? What are you talking about?"
"I don't have much more time Misty, but all I can say is I'm finally happy."
That's all it took, I didn't care what else happened as long as Corbin was happy then I would be happy too. I nodded my head and hugged him tightly; Corbin hugged back just as tightly and kissed my forehead once again. Although I felt something moist on my head, I chose to ignore it. Corbin pulled back and gave me a sad smile and began to detangle himself from me. I grasped his wrist.
"Wait, are we going to meet again?"
"I don't know Misty."
"Please Corbin, we have to." I replied in a whisper and began to silently cry, "Do you want to even see me again?"
Corbin grabbed my hands again and with one hand grabbed my chin and had me to look at him.
"Of course I do, I promise we WILL meet again Misty, I promise you."
I nodded my head and Corbin slowly let me go, and then slowly climbed out of the car. The officer pushed Corbin in the direction of another car and he climbed in. I sat on my knees and looked out and saw that Corbin's car had begun to drive away, I let a tear slide down my cheek and I slumped down in the seat and curled into a ball closest to the other door and cried my eyes out. Someone slid in next to me and began to talk to me, asking me questions. I continued to cry wishing that nightmare would end soon.

Corbin's P.O.V
The phone had rang and I sprung up to answer it. It would of course be one of Rebecca's friend's calling since they always called here when she babysat us…well more so Misty. I grabbed the phone, answered it and was stood correct; it was Rebecca's friend…what was the girl's name again? I walked down the hall to the bathroom where Misty and Rebecca were at and gently rapped on the door. Rebecca came out and had a hard face, something wrong?
"Becca, the phone is for-
"Corbin are those people, Misty's parents included as well abusing you two?"
Her question caught me offhand, how did she find out? What do I say? Lie and say No or trust Becca and get to safety? I looked at the closed door and thought about Misty's face screwed up in pain and how much harder it would be for Misty and I to escape later on.
"Yeah they are." I replied while looking at my feet and my head hung
Rebecca took a sharp breath and grabbed the phone out of my hand told whoever was on the phone that she'd call them back later and hung up. Then she started to dial another number and walked down the hall
"Umm yes Hello, I would like to report abuse in a household…"
I felt my insides flutter, Misty and I were going to have a brighter future than I thought, and Misty could grow up safe and away from our hard household. I sat down by the closed door and listened hard for Misty, with a small smile on my face. Becca came back and took Misty our of the tub, dressed her and put her to bed, I was surprised that Misty didn't come out rubbing her eyes saying that she couldn't sleep and that she wanted either Becca or me to read her a story. Becca and I had been sitting on the couch, watching pointless static TV when there was heavy knock at the door. Becca ran to the door and talked to someone that I couldn't see, and allowed the person in. It was two police chiefs, one female the other a male.
"Is this Misty?"
"No Sir, this is the little boy that I told you about."
"Borbin?"
"No Sir, Corbin."
The guy looked me over and then nodded to his partner and Becca led the female to the back room where Misty was.
"So, Misty is your younger sister?"
"Yes sir."
"And your parents?"
"They have two, one is Corbin's and the other is Misty's." Becca's voice rang out
"But wait how is that possible?"
The female brought Misty out, and I followed behind her. I noticed that Misty was still half asleep which would be harder to explain to her. I wrapped my arms around me it was a little cold tonight; Misty was probably freezing, only having a bath about ten minutes ago. After the female had placed Misty in a car, she left some other fat man in charge.
"I wanna see her." I cried out
"Who are you?"
"Her brother." I replied confidently
The man scrambled to the door and opened it for me and I slid in next to Misty. I hugged her next to me. Boy, would she be freezing. Misty hugged me back, almost chocking me.
"We did it Misty, we're finally getting away our dreams are coming true!" I sang out happily
I noticed that Misty's face held confusion; she didn't have a clue what I was talking about. Her lips parted about to say something when the officer from before, opened the door and tried to yank me out.
"Out of the car kid."
"But I'm her brother!" I yelled
"Nice try kid, you're not blood related." The man replied with a gruff voice, "We can do this the easy way, or we can escort you harshly you choose."
"Alright, I'm coming just let me say goodbye to her."
The man sighed and nodded his head and stood up against the car. I took both of Misty's hands and squeezed them gently and took of my Cross Necklace. I placed it against her neck, it was a bit big but she would grow into, if she decided to keep it later on in life.
"Misty, were going to be separated, you have to be a big strong girl now okay? The people that have us now will love us; never touch a hair on our heads I promise you." My voice ran shaky
"Corbin what's going on? What are you talking about?"
"I don't have much more time Misty, but all I can say is I'm finally happy."
Misty's eyes began to sparkle and she nodded her head and threw her arms around me and hugged me. I hugged her back just as tightly, a tear escaped from my eye and landed on her forehead, which I kissed away. I detangled myself away from her and gave her a sad soft smile when she pulled me back.
"Wait, are we going to meet again?"
"I don't know Misty."
"Please Corbin, we have to." She replied in a whisper and began to silently cry, "Do you want to even see me again?"
I grabbed her hands again and with one hand I grabbed her chin and had her to look at me.
"Of course I do, I promise we WILL meet again Misty, I promise you."
Misty nodded again and I slowly let her go and climbed out of the car, the officer pushed me in the direction of another car and put me in. Then before I had a chance to buckle up the car began to drive away. The car seemed to go slow passing Misty's car. I looked up once to see Misty watching my car go and a lone tear slipped from her eye. I sighed and curled up into a ball and sat far away from the other officer that I had not noticed until he whispered "You'll probably never see her again son, you protected her as best as you could now it's your turn to be protected."
