Family Portrait, a high school musical fanfic

Chapter 2: Family Portrait(P!nk)

Momma please stop crying I can't stand the sound

Your pain is painful and it's tearin' me down

I hear glasses breaking as I sit up in my bed

I told God that you didn't mean those nasty things

"Momma what did he do this time please stop crying, stop fighting that's all y'all do any more"Gabriella said crying on the couch. Five minutes later she started singing,

" You fight about money 'bout me and brother

And this I come home to this is my shelter

It ain't easy growing up in World War III

Never knowin what love could be, you'll see

I don't want love to destroy me like it has done my family"

"Baby we're going out for an hour or two take care of your brother" her mother said.

"Momma wait I wanted to ask you two a question" Gabriella started but, it was too late they were gone so she started singing again like it was some type of aid.

"Can we work it out? Can we be a family?

I promise I'll be better, Mommy I'll do anything

Can we work it out? Can we be a family?

I promise I'll be better, Daddy please don't leave"

An hour later their parents got home and daddy was yelling as usual saying, "If something else goes wrong I am going to hurt someone and shouldn't them damn kids be in bed!",mom would say' "It's only 6:00 and nothing has gone wrong yet if you want something to go wrong i'll just pick up the kids and leave!" Then momma would run to the bathroom crying, and Gabby would just start to sing,

"Daddy please stop yellin, I can't stand the sound

Make mama stop cryin, cuz I need you around

My mama she loves you, no matter what she says its true

I know that she hurt you, but remember I love you, too"

Then Gabby would get her bag of stuff and would just walk out the door and then at 12 ,that's when dad usually stoped yelling, Gabby would walk thorough the door and sing again,

"I ran away today, ran from the noise, ran away

Don't wanna go back to that place,

but don't have no choice, no way

It ain't easy growin up in World War III

Never knowin what love could be, I've seen

I don't want love to destroy me like it did my family"

Gabriella would ask mommy then daddy ,

"Can we work it out? Can we be a family?

I promise I'll be better, Mommy I'll do anything

Can we work it out? Can we be a family?

I promise I'll be better, Daddy please don't leave"

Every holiday we would get together and smile for a picture, but no one knows what happens between these pictures. When we get home things would usually go back to the normal family then me and my sister would sing,

"In our family portrait, we look pretty happy

Let's play pretend, let's act like it comes naturally

I don't wanna have to split the holidays

I don't want two addresses

I don't want a step-brother anyways

And I don't want my mom to have to change her last name
