A.N: I Don't own HSM.

It had had been about three years since Troy had lost the most important thing to him. And that was a girl called Gabriella Vanessa Montez. When they meet on New Year's eave at a kids party or young adults party as his mother called it, he felt like his world had change for the best. She helped him change from a self cantered jock into the kind hearted person he is today. But he wasn't his old joyful self since the day she left. Gabriella was the reason Troy got out of bed in the morning, the reason he moved to Berkley so he could be 32.7 miles away from her, she was the reason he was happy. Gabriella was also the reason he now laid awake for hours thinking about her which ended up with Troy crying himself to sleep, she was the reason that after only a few hours sleep he would lay awake thinking of a reason to get up and go to work, Gabriella was the reason his parents made him moved back home with them because he would go days with out rolling over in bed let a lone leaving his room or house. Over the last few years Troy's family and closet friends had become very worried about him, even Taylor who was Gabriella's best friend hatred her from what she did to Troy.

"Troy, are you awake sweetie?" Anna asked walking into Troy's room, "Honey you have to get up and go to work with Dad," Anna said walking over and stroking Troy's head. Troy shyly smiled up at his Mom with watery eyes.

"Oh sweet heart," Anna said pulling him up into a hug, "It's going to ok now your back with us, I know nothing can replace Gabriella," as she said her name she could hear Troy cried harder, so she just held him closer, "But one day you will find something else to give you a reason to jump out of this bed in the morning, now come on I'll make you scrambled eggs," Troy slowly got out of bed and put a shirt on and followed Anna down stairs.

Jack was doing the paper work he had to finish before going to school when he saw his wife walking into the kitchen holding there sons hand, Anna led Troy to the table making him sit next to Jack before starting on breakfast. Jack was going to ask Troy how he slept but before he could Troy downed the large mug of coffee Jack had just made then pulled the paper work away from his father and started to do it. Jack looked up at Anna who was looking at him, meaning she saw it too. Jack didn't have to ask Troy how he slept he knew, He knew he must of stayed up all night crying over Gabriella, it hurt Jack to see his son like this. Over the last two an half years Jack and Anna had learnt a lot more about there son. They now knew he didn't want to talk about it. He just wanted to keep the pain to him self and every now and then he needed one of then to be there for him. They knew he would rather be at work or working on things for work then being around Chad, Taylor, Zeke, Sharpay, Ryan, Kelsi or Jason. They knew the remaining members of the gang under stood and they were very supportive of Troy. Taylor and Chad both worked at the school and would take over Troy's classes if Troy was having one of his 'I'm not getting out of bed because I have no reason in life to" days.

"Here you go Troy," Anna said putting a plate on scrambled eggs in front of him, "What do you boys have to do to day?" she asked sitting down in her seat after putting a plate in front of Jack and her self.

"The usual Mom," Troy said taking a bite of food, "Go over things for the next game, practice for the game and teach kids about stuff," Troy said dully.

"But Darbus has a new musical," Jack started, "I'll have to march in there and take my players out and we will have the same fight we have every time,"

"Um I'm" Troy started standing up and putting his plate in the sink, "I'm going to go get ready then head off early," So with that Troy ran up to his room and in to the adjacent bathroom, once he finished his icy cold shower he walked back into his room with only a towel around his waste, he stopped and turned and waved out to the 16 year old girl that lived next door who would always perv on him thought his balcony window from hers, he then went and got dressed in his walk in closet. After putting on a part of dark wash jeans, a light blue button down shirt with a plan white shirt under neath and black converse he walked down stairs grabbed his keys.

"See you at work Dad," He called out, "Bye Mom," he shut the door and jumped into his car and drove to East High.

"It pains me to see him like this Anna," Jack said putting the last of the papers into his bag, "He could have been a great basketball player heck a great singer even but he ended up in the same job I picked,"

"Jack I know all you want is the best for him," Anna said walking over and hugging him, "I want it too, we got him home where we can look after him, I just never picked her to be the type of girl to do this to him, I'm sorry I got to run to work can you pick these things up at the store for me please,"

"Sure," Jack said kissing his wife and taking the list before she ran out the door which he did so too shortly after.

It was only the middle of another busy day at East High but Troy lucky had no more classes so he could go home.

"Hey Dad," Troy said walking in to his Dads office, "I'm setting off so do you want me to do anything?"

"Would you mind getting these things for your Mother," Jack said handing the list to Troy, "Oh and Troy do me a favor take a break and do something fun," Troy smiled taking the list and walked out and made his way to the shops.

Troy made his way down the first row looking for the things on his Moms list when he felt something run into his leg. Troy looked down to see and little girl with very light tanned skin, dark brown curly hair that had natural lighter brown strikes though it, she looked up at Troy with teary Crystal blue eyes.

"Hey sweetie," Troy said banding down to her leave, "Are you ok? What's your name?" He asked her.

"My names," she started.

"Annabel!"
