He had been forced to the fucking hospital once again!
He sat in plastic chair listing to the conversation between his parents and the doctor!
"Anorexia Nervosa!" William says, those words make Troy look up to see his parents reactions.
"I thought only girls could have that…" His mothers says trying to deny it. Not wanting to face the harsh reality.
"No Mrs. Bolton, about 10 % is boys... And since the last check up Troy lost a lot of weight. He weighed 180 pounds and now 110 and I believe that we need to get him in a hospital!" William says and starts looking in his computer searching for a free spot for Troy.
"I am fine! I am not sick! I just lost some weight!" Troy spoke up. It was ridiculous! He wasn't sick!
"Troy! 70 pounds is not a little bit of weight! You weigh 110 pounds! - It's dangerously low for a boy your age and with you training schedule, it's far from healthy!" William says in a warning tone looking at Troy.
"I promise I am fine!!" Troy says annoyed, couldn't they just believe his words?!
"Troy this minute you could die of the lack of nutrition, if we are lucky you'll be in by the end of this week!" William says and his parents look at him with worried eyes. Had their only son come close to death right in front of their eyes?
Troy sat quiet looking down on the white floor, finding a black spot, finding it very interesting. He knew he was in some deep shit! A small part of him was happy for finally getting help while the rest of him was pissed of as can be.
"Troy we can get you in the hospital tomorrow…" William says. "You will stay there until you gain at least 40 pounds. I think 50 is better. So when your weight is up at 160 you can be released… And you will be talking to a psychologist…" Troy interrupt him.
"Whoa! Slow down! No way am I talking to a shrink!" Troy says and stares at William. He had liked this guy until five minutes ago! When he have all his stupid ideas about his body and what's wrong with him! "There is nothing wrong with me!" Troy protest again.
"Denial is a common sign at Anorectic patients… You believe the lie you tell everyone else… That is why you will talk to a psychologist so you can see the truth…" William explains to Troy.
"I haven't lied to anyone!" Troy says annoyed.
"Yes you have… You said to me in the beginning that you would gain the pounds you had lost but you didn't… So you lied…" William says disappointed. Troy looked on the white wall then he got up from the chair and just walked out the room. They screamed his name wanting him to stay but he just walked away no idea were he was going.
He picked up his cell and called his best friend that he hated at the moment.
"Hello…"
"Why the hell do you keep interfere in my life!?" Troy says harsh into the phone.
"What do you mean?" Chad sound confused.
"You talked to my dad! Lied about me not eating! So now because of you I am going to be put in the hospital because apparently I have Anorexia Nervosa!" He cries into the phone.
"Troy you have only been lying to yourself… I told your dad because I care about you! You are my best friend! And these last months when I have watched you loose all that weight it have scared me…" Chad says in a serious tone.
"You fucking asshole! You are supposed to my friend! But I guess that shit is over right!?" He hung up and slid down the wall crying. His parents came and picked him up.
"Troy its gonna be okay… This is just a setback nothing to worry about…" His mother says. "How is it gonna be at the dinner on Friday?" She asks worriedly.
"Can you stop worrying about the work for once!? This is our son we are talking about! Can you worry about him for once!?" Troy was shocked by his father's outrage towards his mother. They had never fought in front of him, and now his father was screaming to her on a parking lot!
"I care about Troy! I always worry about him!" His mother growls to his father, they get in the car and the arguing continues in the car.
"How the hell can you worry about him when you are always away on those fancy business trips of yours? Then you are home for a few days then you are of again! You are not the woman I married 20 years ago! Hell you are not even the woman you were 5 years ago!" This shocked Troy was his father doubting their marriage?
"I am sorry that my dream came true and you are stuck being the high school coach!" His mother shout at him.
"Mom when you got your dream you kinda lost me and dad on the way…" Troy spoke up from the backseat. His mother turned around in the passenger seat and look on her son.
"What do you mean with that?" His mom was hurt by her son words.
"I mean that you can't have everything in life! You have your dream along with the supporting husband and son! But have you ever thought how we are affected by this!?" Troy shouts. "No you don't because you don't care anymore! Dad is good in life so you can say that you are married and me so you can tell people that you two have a child together!"
"Troy you don't know what you are talking about! And stop interfering with our discussion!" His mother says firm.
"No I am gonna interfere! You two do such a good job interfering with my life! Now its my turn to interfere with your life!" He says challenging. "And mom I hate to break it to you… Dad and you are fighting not discussing!" He says and after that he leans back in the leather seat. It was a tense silence over the car and no one dared to say one thing.
When they drove up on the driveway Jack orders Troy to go packing so he has his stuff when they are leaving for the hospital tomorrow. He heard his parents screaming at each other. He was worried that they would rip each others head of. But he knows he can't get involved with this. Not now. It had been different in the car. He just sighs and starts packing down sweats and t-shirts, sense the jeans was way to big for his fragile body and the sweats was warmer then the jeans was. Because the big loss of body fat he was freezing constantly!
There was a careful knock on the door and someone looked inside.
"Hey Troy… I heard that you are leaving for the hospital tomorrow… How do you feel about it?" Annie sounded careful, she didn't knew if it was the right time to talk with him now.
"I am a guy who is diagnosed with Anorexia Nervosa and tomorrow I am going to the hospital for it… I think its stupid because there is nothing wrong with me!" He says forcefully he throws a t-shirt in the bag.
"How mush weight have you lost according to the doctors…?" Annie asks carefully knowing the wrong word would make him pissed of and she would have something in her face.
"70 pounds apparently! Must be something wrong with the scale!" He mutters. Refusing to realise the truth.
"Yeah blame the scale…" Annie says and leave the room. He sighs and sits down on the bed. He was happy that he was going in to the hospital now… It was almost summer and no-one would know were he was he could lie and say he was in Europe all summer and he had an injury so he had to go to the hospital! He had it all covered.
Hospitals… What was so good about hospitals that made so many want to work at a place like this?
When he first came in the nurses had been disgustingly nice to him. He shared room with someone who was a retard! And on top of it all they was gonna weigh him everyday! Like he was gonna gain weight! In their dreams!
"One last chance to make me like you again! Take me home!" Troy says and looks between his parents. If they loved him they would take him home and not leave him at this place! That he would be calling home for months!
"You can hate us now Troy but this is for your own good!" His father says and look at his son.
"My own good!? This is not for my own good! This is so you can live a happy life with out me!!" He says and glares at them.
"Troy! You refuse to eat at home! You work out to hard and now you've lost 70 pounds! This is because we love you…" Jack says to his son.
"I hate you!" Troy mumbles and sit down on the white bed. The parents leaves the room and Troy sighs defeated, he picks up his cell and text Chad.
I hate hospitals, you know what else I hate?
YOU!
You got me in here!
He sent it and soon a little red haired boy stood in the doorway looking at him with curious eyes. "What you looking at?!" He spats and the little boy who was petrified by Troy's outrage. The boy ran away and left Troy alone. He look through his bag and takes out a stuffed basketball, he had owned as long as he can remember! He just felt more relaxed whit in his bed.
"Ah a new anorectic kid!" A new voice says, Troy looks up and see a living skeleton in his doorway, her face was pale, the eyes was completely life less but yet some weak flame burning inside. The thin lips was a pink line across the square formed face. Her dark blonde hair was in a messy bun. Her body was clad in a grey cotton shirt and a pair light blue skinny jeans.
"I am not anorectic!" Troy mutters to the new girl, who steps inside his room with confident.
"Yeah then why the hell are you here… I'll admit I am shocked that it's a guy. But sometime gotta be the first… I am Emma by the way… You are…?" She asks and cross the arms over her chest.
"Troy…" He answers simply.
"Nice to meet you Troy! You and I will make the nurses life a living hell!" She grins happily.
"No! We won't! I am gonna try to get out of here!" He fakes a smile. He opens his bag and starts putting his clothes in the drawers, he felt Emma watching every step he took he tried his best to ignore it. His cell vibrate and he takes it up and read it.
You are being immature!
Its what's best for you!
He mutters something that Emma can't hear but ignores to answer the message Chad had sent him.
"You know they wont let you go until you gain the weight you've lost!" Emma informs him nonchalant while looking at her nails that was nonexistent. "Do you think my nails would look good if I let them grow?" She asks and spread her fingers out to him.
"I think I'll get out of here!" He mumbles, when she spoke the second sentence his was looked confused. "How am I supposed to know that?!" He mutters angrily.
"Aren't you gay?! It looks like you are!" She says defensive.
"I am bi! If you must know!" He says. "Now can you please leave me alone!?" He looks at Emma who refuse to remove her self from his room. Then a nurse came in the room. A male nurse!
"Emma, leave Troy alone…" The nurse says and looks at Troy with kind eyes. The nurse was about sex feet tall with dark brown hair the nicest green eyes he had ever seen his skin showed that he was out in the sun very much and his body was pretty built he looked to be in his mid twenties. Emma refuses to leave Troy's room. "Emma leave! Troy is new and I doubt he wants you company!" The man says once again.
"Fine! But he will be begging for my company later when he realizes who you really are Nicky!" She smiles innocent and leave the room.
"I am nurse Nicholas Cooper but they call me Nick or Nicky… And I was just making sure you made your self comfortable…" He says kindly.
"I am fine!" Troy says sharply to Nick.
"Well its lunch soon and we expect you to be there!" Nick says then he leaves.
Troy stood in the room alone and mutters to him self. "Yeah right… In your dreams." He takes his sketch pad and some pencils and starts drawing, thin lines soon became a detailed drawing were a lonely girl stood in the pouring rain in a woods in the background you could see eyes watching her but no one did anything.
"Lunch Troy!" It was Nick again. Disturbing him.
"Mhm… I'll be right there!" He says not leaving the bed. He heard Nick's footsteps squeaking when he walked over the linoleum floor.
"Now Troy!" Nick orders.
"I am not very hungry!" Troy mutters never looking up at Nick.
"Well sense you are here for Anorexia Nervosa you haft to eat!" Nick explains kindly to Troy. "So would you please put your sketch pad away and come to lunch now?" Nick asks again.
"Like I said I am not hungry!" Troy objects again. Nick pulled the sketchpad out of Troy's hand.
"Like I said! You are eating lunch!" Nick smiles innocent. He pulls Troy out the bed and drags him to the big room that worked as Dinner room/ activity room / TV room. He sat down next to the little boy he had seen this morning.
"Could you stop staring at me?" He shouts at the little boy who was still scared for him sense this morning! Troy glared at the boy. Tears starts to fall down the little boys face.
"Troy! What did you say to him!?" Nick was worse then his father. Groaning he looks at Nick.
"He stared at me and I don't like people staring at me!" Troy mumbles.
"He is six and you are sixteen!" Nick simply says. Troy doesn't say anything and stared to eat his disgusting food slowly. The potato was over cooked the meat was burned and the sauce was to salty.
"I am done!" He had barely touched anything. He got up from the chair and walked back to his room. He goes to the bathroom and his goes down on his knees, the pain going from his knees, up his thighs his hip bones, every fetlock until it reached the back of his head. Now he could just bend over and the little food that he had eaten went up again. He flush the toilet and wash out his mouth and goes out the bathroom now there is a new nurse standing in his doorway.
This time a woman! She was older maybe her mid forties, not very tall max five feet if even that! Her grey eyes was exhausted she was getting wrinkles on her forehead, she smiles to him and show of her yellow teeth from either coffee or smoking maybe both. "Troy we forgot to inform you that you are not allowed to use the bathroom after eating! I am nurse Catlin by the way…"
"Oh excuse me… I thought it was a free country!" He sits up on the bed and picks up the sketchpad and continues drawing.
The nurse leave his room and his roommate comes inside, she is a fourteen year old girl who was in for some bone disease he didn't really know all he knew was that she was in wheel chair. She was really shy and she had said hi to him and that's it! She had golden blonde hair, deep blue eyes pale skin.
He just looked up at her when she took out one of her many books she had. "What's you name?" He speaks up.
"Karen…" The girl says barely audible.
"I am Troy… What are you here for?" He asks slowly.
"Osteogenesis imperfecta, I was born with brittle-bone disease… My bones can break for nothing…" She explains to him and he nods. "Why are you here?" She asks but doesn't look him in the eyes.
"Anorexia Nervosa! But there is nothing wrong with me! They are idiots!" He mumbles to Karen. Then there was silence in the room, the only sound was the pencils drawing over the paper. He sighs and crumbles the paper. "Fuck!" He mumbles.
"You draw?" She asks when the paper lands on the floor when he tries to put in the basket.
"Yeah… But I suck at it so…" He says and leans back on the bed when Emma comes in the room again looking at Troy with a winning smile. "What do you want? Don't you have anything better to do then fucking with me?" Emma looks at her future best friend around this hospital.
"Troy you know you and I would rock this place and I need at not eating buddy!" She says and walks over to his bed and sits by the foot. "Because lets face it! The nurses will make you eat again and then all hard work you have been putting in to this will be for nothing!" Troy listens to every word she says. "I can teach you all the secrets around here to stay slim.." She whispers almost seductive.
Troy sits in silence for s few minutes before he opens his mouth and then closes it again. He was in deep thought, thinking what he could win and lose by packing with her. Nick seemed very defensive when Emma was in the room. It seemed like Emma meet danger.
And Troy Bolton had always been a sucker for danger.
"Teach me every damn thing I need to know around here!"
