Hey everyone:) So this is my new story, first chapter is up! Please read and review xxx
Chapter 1 - Troy Bolton
Troy Bolton was an 19 year old boy who if we are being honest was a bum. He graduated school and instead of going to college on the basketball scholarship he was offered he decided to spend every night getting drunk with his best friends Declan and Jake.
His mother, Lucille didn't know what to do with him. His father had gotten seriously ill the past few months and was on bed rest, not being able to move at all on a bad day. He had developed a tumor in his stomach a few years ago that is in a difficult place and would be life threatening to have an operation to remove it.
Troy and his father Jack were the closest. Jack taught him all he knew about basketball and they always used to play one-one games when they were both free. When they discovered Jack's illness that is when Troy changed. He started hanging with a new crowd, started getting into fights, skipping classes and getting drunk.
Lucille had to look after Jack and without Troy's help it was taking it's toll. Troy was currently still in bed, at 1:30pm. He didn't come strolling in until 3:00am, drunk as usual. She walked into his bedroom and nudged him.
"Troy?" He groaned and she opened his curtains. "Come on, you need to get up"
"Shit mom, shut the fucking curtains!" He cursed, pulling the covers over his head.
"Troy Alexander Bolton do not use that language with me" She scolded. "You have half an hour to get up and dressed, your father's doctor is coming around this afternoon" with that she left.
Troy groaned and got out of bed. He went into his bathroom and had a long relaxing shower. Last night he went clubbing with some fake ID's Dec had gotten them. He had lost count how many girls he got with, down the back alley, in the bathroom, in a dark seating area that was deserted.
After ten minutes he got out of the shower and got dressed. He put on some of his Levi's with a black polo shirt that showed off his ab's nicely. He put on his white sneakers then walked downstairs.
"Do you want some breakfast?" Lucille asked him.
"Just coffee" she raised her eyebrows. "Please" he said sarcastically, rolling his eyes.
Lucille placed it in front of him then went back to cleaning the kitchen.
"What is the doctor coming for again?" He asked whilst sitting at the breakfast counter.
"To check on your dad, I am worried about him"
"Why? He's the same isn't he?" He said, not caringly at all.
"No Troy, if you paid attention instead of getting drunk every night you'd know he was getting worse everyday!" She snapped, getting tired of his behaviour.
"You never told me" he defended himself.
"I shouldn't have to, when was the last time you went in to see him Troy?"
"I can't remember"
"Exactly, he is still in the same house, he would love for you to go in, why don't you go up now before the doctor comes?"
"I don't want to" he muttered.
"Why not?"
"Just because..."
"Not a good enough answer Troy Bolton!"
"Because I hate seeing him so weak!" He snapped. "Dad was always a strong and dependant man and now he's just this weak, nearly lifeless body that depends on my mom to take care of him and I hate it!" He threw his cup of coffee, making it smash aginst the wall and went up to his room. He put music on full blast and lay on his bed.
Lucille was just cleaning the mess up when the doctor turned up.
"I am sorry about this, Troy isn't handling this well" She apologised to the doctor.
"Don't apologise Lucille, I am sure it is hard for him, would you like me to talk to him for you?"
"You can try but he isn't listening to anyone right now" The doctor smiled and went towards the noise. He knocked on the door and Troy opened it.
"Can I come in Troy?" Troy stepped aside and the doctor walked in.
"What do you want?" He asked, turning down the music.
"I just thought you may need someone to talk to, about your dad?"
"A shrink? No thanks, I am fine" he went back to what he was doing.
"I am not a shrink Troy, I am a GP, part of my job is to offer support to families who are suffering"
"Well, I am fine"
"Is that why you smashed a cup?"
"My mom should just keep her mouth shut! It wouldn't have happened otherwise" he exclaimed.
"Your mother is worried about you, she needs your help right now but you are not there"
"If your finished you can leave to see my dad" Troy stated walking over to the door and opening it. The doctor nodded and left the room.
Troy slammed the door and dialled Jake's number. (Troy/Jake)
"Hey dude, you wanna do something?"
"Like what?"
"Anything, just get me away from here" Jake laughed at the other end.
"Ok, meet you at the mall in like half an hour man"
"Ok, get Dec yeah?"
"Will do Troy, see ya"
"Bye"
Troy got his cell and walked out of his room just as his mom was coming out of his dad's room.
"Where are you going?"
"Out"
"Who with?"
"Dec and Jake, is that ok?" He said sarcastically, knowing her answer already.
"I don't like you hanging out with them Troy"
"I don't care, don't wait up" and with that he walked downstairs and slammed the front door.
Lucille sat outside her husband's room and sobbed into her hands, she couldn't do this anymore. Something had to be done about Troy's behaviour.
With Troy
He walked over to Dec and Jake and greeted them, he then noticed the girls they were with. They were Dec's 'girlfriend' Bridget, and her friends Emma and Rachel.
Troy had some sort of fling going on with Rachel when they all got together, the way he saw it she was a good shag so why not?
"Hey Troy" she flirted with him.
"Hey Rachel" she kissed his lips passionately and smiled when he pulled away. He nodded to the other two girls who smiled at him. Bridget was actually very nice and he found he could talk to her and trust her with a lot of things, which is why he and Dec occasionally got into fights.
Dec cheated on Bridget everytime they went out without her and Troy thought she deserved someone better than that. When he mentioned this to Dec he would get all hot headed and lash out. Troy learnt to stay out of it but you could still tell he didn't think it was right. That is one thing he swore he'd never do, cheat on someone. His thing with Rachel didn't count as they weren't officially an item and she did it to him anyway.
"So, what are we doing tonight then?" Troy asked, sitting on the fountain edge.
"How about we just hang at the skate park, I heard Kyle will be there with some top-of-the-notch gear" Jake announced.
"Awesome, I'm in" Troy said as Rachel automatically said she'd go. Everyone agrred and arranged to meet there at 6:00pm. They all then decided to go get some food and went to Macdonalds. Troy just got a drink and sat at a table with Bridget.
"So, I heard you had a wild night Troy?" She said giggling.
"Yeah, kinda, what did you get up to?"
"It was my parents anniversary party"
"Oh yeah, I thought Dec was going to that with you?"
"Yeah so did I" she shrugged. "So how's your dad doing?"
"Alright" he shrugged not looking at her now. She changed the subject, seeing how he didn't want to talk about it.
"Cool, well Rachel was very excited that you were hanging out with us today" she smirked.
"I bet, I didn't even know you guys were gonna be here"
"Well I was over at Dec's when Jake called him so I called the girls and asked them to meet us here, didn't fancy hanging with you boys on my own" Troy looked fake hurt.
"I am offended Bridge, that hurt" she giggled just as everyone else came over.
"You flirting with my girl Troy boy?" Dec teased.
"No man, your safe" Rachel sat next to Troy who put his arm over her shoulders.
"Cause he's all mine today, right Troy?" Rachel stated, looking up at him.
"Sure thing babe" he kissed her and she smiled against his lips.
"Ok guys, break it up" Jake said, pretending to hurl. Everyone laughed.
6:00pm at the skate park
Troy and Rachel were walking from behind an empty building after having 'fun' when Dec shouted of him. Troy walked over and saw him with some gear off Kyle as promised. Troy took a drag and smiled.
"Dude your right, this is good shit" he exclaimed to Jake.
"I know right, you want a beer?"
"Obviously" he smirked as Dec threw one to him.
After hours of the same thing, sex, drugs and booze, Troy was wasted and so were the others. Dec and Bridget were in the middle of a hot make-out session when a blonde Troy recognised from last night walked over. She was one of the girls Dec got with. Troy quickly jumped up and led her away from the group, so Bridget wouldn't find out.
"What are you doing?"
"He was busy couldn't you tell?"
"I was just going to say hi"
"Well I'll tell him for you, so you can leave now"
"What is it to do with you?" She asked, with attitude in her voice.
"Look, that is his girlfriend over there so back off yeah?"
"Whatever" she muttered walking off.
Troy got back to the group and noticed the girls had disappeared.
"Where did you go?"
"Saving your ass man"
"What?"
"That blonde from last night?"
"Which one?" Dec smirked high fiving Jake.
"That isn't funny man or cool" Troy said moodily. "What about Bridge?"
"Fucking hell Troy, not this again"
"Yeah this again, she deserves better than you being a dick and cheating on her"
"Well fuck you, I'll do what I like!" He shouted standing up as Troy did the same.
"Dec? Troy? What is going on?" Bridget asked as the girls came back.
"Nothing" Dec said.
"Fuck off nothing, you wanna know what your boyfriend did last night?" Dec glared at him. "Shagged at least 5 girls and isn't even sorry cause he's an ass hole!" That did it.
Dec threw a punch at Troy and the two started fighting. Troy knocked him to the floor and punched him in the nose, hearing it pop out of place. Bridget tried to get Troy off Dec but couldn't.
"Jake, do something!" She screamed at him. Jake pulled Troy off Dec and held him back. Troy spat at Dec and got out of Jake's grap.
"You a fucking sleaze!" He shouted at Dec before walking off. Bridget followed Troy and grabbed his wrist.
"What the fuck Troy?!"
"I couldn't sit by and watch him do that shit to you Bridget!"
"What has it got to do with you Troy?"
"I care about you, I don't want you to be with a knob head like that, you deserve better"
"What is there around here Troy?"
"Someone better than him!"
"Like you?"
"Yeah, I am better than him, but not for you"
"That is bullshit, you just don't get it do you?"
"What?"
"I know he does all that stuff, I am not stupid"
"Then why are you with him?"
"Because, I love him, if no one told me then I could forget or pretend I didn't know it was going on"
"If that's how you feel then your fucked up because it is wrong"
"You do it to Rachel!"
"Me and Rachel aren't dating! We have sex when we hang out, it is totally different!"
"Yeah, it is, means your a bigger man whore than Dec!" She shouted. She slapped him across the face and walked off.
Troy mumbled to himself and walked home. It was about 11:30pm when he arrived home and he got in to see his mother sitting in the family room in silence.
"Sit down Troy" She said calmly.
"Mom, I'm tired"
"Sit down!" She snapped. He walked in and sat across from her. "What happened?"
"Me and Dec just got into a fight, nothing big"
"Right, well that has just finalised my decision"
"What decision?"
"You are moving to LA to live with your Aunt Michelle"
"What?!"
"Keep your voice down, your father is asleep"
"I don't care, I am not moving to LA"
"Yes you are, I cannot deal with you acting like this anymore, you need to get away from here and your 'friends' to get yourself sorted"
"Why LA?"
"She has managed to get you into the school where she works"
"The LA school of arts? Why the hell would I go there?"
"Because she has got you a job there as a cleaner"
"Cleaner?"
"Caretaker, whatever you want to call it"
"When am I leaving?"
"Two days"
"Two days?!"
"Yes, now go and clean your face up and get to bed, you need to be up early tomorrow to get your things ready" and with that she stood up, kissed the top of Troy's head and walked upstairs to her bedroom.
Troy just sat there in shock, thinking how fucked up this was. He went up to his room, cleaned away the blood that had now dried and got in bed after stripping down to his boxers.
"This is going to suck" he mumbled to himself.
Was he right, or would his mom forcing him to move be the best thing he would ever experience?
So how was it? This chapter is just an in sight to Troy's personality and to show you his background and behaviour:)
