A/N: This is a teaser trailer for my upcoming story, "Who I am Hates Who I've Been." It's only a teaser, so it's short, but I hope you guys like it. I'm still undecided on the pairing, if there will be one. Right now I'm leaning toward Troyella.
Troy's mom is named Kellie in my story because no one can tell me what her real name is.
This is the edited version, because Bart Johnson plays Troy's dad, not Brad Johnson...lol
Voice overs are in bold. Words written on the screen are in italics.
Who I Am Hates Who I've Been
("Who I am Hates Who I've Been" by Relient K begins to play)
Jack Bolton is the perfect role model…
We see Jack and Troy out in the yard, shooting baskets together. Jack tosses the ball to his son and gives him a pointer on how to shoot. Troy listens and the ball sails cleanly through the net. Jack high-fives his son.
The scene changes and we see Jack coaching the basketball team, running down the sidelines as Chad takes the ball to the hoop. As the ball sails through the net, he raises his arms in triumph, cheering for his team.
The scene changes again and we see Jack taking Kellie's hand, beginning to dance with her. She laughs and tries to escape his grasp, but he pulls her closer, smiling and leaning in to kiss her cheek.
…but everything is about to change.
We see Jack sitting in his office, his face darkening as he looks over a sheet of paper in his hands. He throws the paper violently to the side, knocking his coffee cup over as he does.
The scene changes and we see Troy running suicides in the gym, Jack standing nearby. As Troy stops for a minute, clearly out of breath, Jack comes over, shoving his son hard in the back. Troy stumbles, and looks at his father in shock.
The scene changes again and we see Troy cowering in the corner of a room as Jack advances on him, a bat in his hand. Troy cries out in pain as the bat connects with his stomach, and curls in on himself. Jack shakes his head, dropping the bat as he walks away.
Those who are closest to us…
We see Chad looking in alarm at Troy's arm as he quickly tries to hide a bruise. Chad stops him, reaching out and grabbing Troy's arm.
"He did this to you?"
"Chad, you don't understand. It's not my dad, when he's like that. He's-he's different."
"Troy, you can't let this go on. You have to tell someone."
"Chad, drop it, okay? It's my dad."
…become the ones we fear the most.
We see Troy slam the door to his room shut, leaning against it and breathing heavily. Blood is flowing freely from his lip and nose, and he wipes the back of his hand across his mouth, spitting blood onto his floor.
The scene changes and we see Jack pulling back his fist, punching Troy squarely in the jaw. Troy falls to the ground, unconscious. Jack fails to notice and continues to beat his son.
The scene changes again and we see Troy lying in a hospital bed, his head tightly bandaged. His eyes slowly open and he looks wildly around. His mother is at his side, and Troy reaches out to her.
"Dad?"
"He's getting help," Kellie answers shortly, her tone telling Troy there is no room for argument.
Leslie Pomeroy
We see Kellie staring in horror at Jack as she kneels at Troy's side. She appears to be shouting at her husband.
Corbin Bleu
We see Chad yelling at Jack, clearly trying to defend his friend.
Bart Johnson
We see Jack sitting on a hospital bed, his head in his hands. A doctor is standing next to him, reading the results of a test.
And Zac Efron
We see Troy looking at his father in fear, shaking his head.
Who I Am Hates Who I've Been
Coming soon to a computer near you.
A/N: This one is going to be pretty dark. Just so you know, Jack is mentally ill in this story. He will end up being diagnosed with schizophrenia. Yes, normally, it presents in younger males, but very rarely it is seen in men over forty. I'm going with the rare case.
