Troy woke up a half hour later. It was 230. I was getting the crap bet out of him for an hour. He knew he had to get up. He had to make it to his room. He could never let his mom know about this. Never, would he ever let her know the man she loves is abusive. As long as he's not abusing her everything is fine. He slowly crawled up the stairs to his room. The last thought he had before he fall asleep was I can never let Gabi know about this I cant let her worry about me.

A/N

Troy's POV

I woke up and I couldn't move. I immediately called Chad.

ringing please pick up Chad please pick up.

"Hey Troy we still up for basketball right?"

"I don't think I can."

"Why not man. We do this like every Saturday?"

"It happened again last night Chad. I can't move. Get over here soon please."

"I will man. Give me 10 seconds bye!"

DING DONG

"Hey Chad. I don't think Troy can play basketball today he's kind of under the weather. Come back later." Mr. Bolton said.

"Why don't I go ask Troy, maybe I could do something for him." Chad replied.

Let him up dad please let him up.

"Fine." Mr. Bolton said defeated.

Chad raced up and pulled the giant first-aid he had hidden in his gym bag.

"Okay Troy I have to get you to stand up to rap the bandages around. I'll help you."

"What would I do without you as my next door neighbor?"

"Die"

"Wrong time for that joke."

"Yeah I wasn't thinking bout that."

No POV

Chad went over to the bedside and carefully wrapped Troy's arm around his neck trying to avoid the bruises but that was pretty much impossible. Once he was sure he had Troy steady he hoisted him up.

"Okay Troy do you think you could stand by yourself?"

"I can try"

Troy stood up holding onto the bedside table while Chad to bandages and wrapped it all around his stomach and up his chest. "He really got you good this time."

"Just bandage me up so I can leave!" Troy pleaded.

"Almost done. You can sit down now. I just have to do your legs and arms."

"Don't make it too obvious"

"You'll be wearing long pants and sleeves for awhile this time."

"Greeaat."

All the sudden Troy's cell phone started to ring. He looked at the caller id and smiled. It was Gabriella.

"Hey sunshine"

"Hey handsome. What are you doing today?"

"Basketball with Chad."

"Oh." She said disappointed.

"Maybe later when we are done I'll call you and we can double date with Chad and Taylor."

"That sounds so great! Call me when you get home okay?" Anything to get him coming back off my mind. Gabriella thought.

"Okay I promise"

"Bye"

"Bye"

He ended the phone call.

"I guys I have my day planned out without me even knowing" Chad teased.

"Oh shut it. You know you love my plan. Now let's go play basketball!"

"You up for it?"

"When am I not?"

They played basketball for 3 hours and then went back in took showers, changed Troy's bandages, and then Troy called Gabriella.

"Hey" Gabriella answered.

"Hey. What time is good for you? It's 5 now and I was thinking dinner and the park again?"

"Well Taylor's here so what about in a hour?"

"Sounds awesome. See you soon"

"Bye. Can't wait!"

And their conversation ended.

A/N

No cliffhanger. Sorry. Not much on Gabriella's part but it'll all fit in in the next chapter or two.

Next chapter

OH MY GOD! Troy you're bleeding!" Gabriella said in concern..
