Chapter 3

Later that day

The gang, plus Zac head towards the Bolton house. They all feel that Mrs Bolton should be let in on what is going to happen.

'Brenda, I'm home and I've brought the gang with. Meet us in the living room, we need to talk", Jack shouts into the house, leading everyone into the living room.

Zac looks around. It is a nice looking house. Cosy and it feels like a home should, not like his empty flat. The living room is big but not to big. It is a creamy colour with nice furniture and photos of the family everywhere.

"Take a seat everyone, Brenda should be here any moment" Jack says just as Mrs Bolton walks into the doorway.

"What is it you wanted to……" Mrs Bolton starts to say when she walks into the room, stopping when she sees Zac. The others look at her and then each other, they all knew this was going to happen.

"Troy?" she whispers, still standing in the doorway, slightly raising a hand in his direction. He stands up and shakes his head.

"My name is Zac Efron Ma'am, and I am here to do what I can to help get Troy back for you," he says and everyone looks between him and Mrs Bolton.

It is silent for five agonizingly long minutes before Mrs Bolton walks up to Zac.

"I know you aren't him, I can see the subtle differences now, but, can I hold you, just for a minute?" she asks, tears in her eyes and all Zac can do is nod before she pulls him into the tightest hug he has ever gotten in his life. Not even his own mother has hugged him like this. He wraps his arms around her, giving her what comfort he can, listening to her sob in his shoulder, knowing that there is nothing he can really do to take away her pain.

After a couple of minutes Mrs Bolton let's go of Zac. Her eyes are red from crying.

"Sorry about that, I just miss Troy so much", she says and Zac nods. Jack stands up and goes to his wife, pulling her into a light hug.

"We will get him back Brenda, I promise" and lets her go before turning to the others.

"I know we were going to talk to night about what we plan to do, but can we do it tomorrow? Brenda isn't ready and though I suggested it, I am not either. Come back tomorrow morning, I will sort out you missing school" he says and the kids nod and everyone leaves.

"Yo Zac, where are you going to stay?" Chad asks as everyone branches off, leaving Chad, Gabriella and Taylor in front of the Bolton house.

"I actually hadn't thought of it really, I might as well book into a hotel" Zac says with a shrug.

"Dude you can stay with me, we'll just have to explain it to my parents", Chad says and Zac nods. Gabriella walks up to Zac and gives him a hug, Taylor does the same.

"We'll see you tomorrow, and thanks again for offering to help" Gabriella says with a shy smile before her and Taylor leave.

And that as they say is that. I do actually have some story pre-written, but it is so furthur in the story and might change as I write more.

thanks for reading and review away :D.
