A/N

I looked at the movie and read what Sharpay looked up on Gabriella about the Scholastic Decathlon and it said that she got 100 on the sectional round being a sophomore and that schools should be worried about her in the national round so they are still sophomore. But in my story they just completed their junior year and are going into their senior year.

Recap!

Chad took the camera, slowly opened the door, and quickly took a picture of the two of them lying there. It would've been a great moment if the flash hadn't scared Troy.

Chapter 13!

The camera had a very bright flash and sent an unexpected Troy into a huge fit. He started freaking out and pushing Gabriella away. Gabriella quickly got off the bed and Troy started backing into a corner. He backed up too far and fell off the bed. He started to cry and roll up in a ball. Gabi tried to help him get back up by slowly reaching out her hand for him to grab but he started to scoot away and curl up harder.

"Don't hurt me please, I'll be good I promise just don't hurt me again please." Troy kept going on and on like that. Then all the sudden got up and started to run but tripped over his pajama pants and hit his head just right and fell unconscious…again.

The doctor checked him out and found nothing wrong. Troy woke up about 4 hours later. Chad was right there next to him when he woke up. Gabriella had just left to get them some food.

"Hey Troy, how are you feeling?"

"Hey Chad! Where am I?" Troy asked him.

"You are in the hospital don't you remember?"

"NO! What happened? Is it going to stop my dad from making play basketball!" He said with a little too much glee. Gabriella had walked in just then with a confused look at hearing the last sentence.

"Troy?" Gabriella asked softly

"Hi, are you one of my nurses?"

"No Troy, it's me Gabriella."

"Hmmm… I don't know a Gabriella. You must be confused there is probably another Troy in this hallway."

"Troy do you know what your dad did to you, why you are in the hospital? Anything, anything at all?"

"What do you mean? You never told me why I was in the hospital. Where is my dad anyways, I want to tell him I don't want to play basketball when I go to East High."

"When you go?" Gabriella said.

"Yeah, when I go next year."

"Troy, how old do you think you are?"

"Well duh! I turned 14 in December making it 7 months ago." (A/N he has the date right just not the year…)

"Oh my Gosh." Gabriella said so softly barley she could hear.

"Gabi can you go get a nurse, please." Chad asked. She simply nodded. She left to go find the doctor and explain the problem. They took him for a MRI (or whatever they would do for this problem if you tell me I'll fix it).

About 2 hours later…

Troy showed no signs of remembering. The doctor came in shortly after Chad started telling him that he was really 17.

"Troy I don't really know how to tell you this but you aren't 14. You are really 17."

"HAHA! Nice joke Chad." Troy responded. Chad was about to try and prove to him somehow that he wasn't lying when all he needed walked in.

"Well from the MRI I see that he fell on his head just right and seems to have forgotten the last 3 years. It is possible that this is only temporary but it may not be it could be permanent. You might want to try using pictures and people and objects that could trigger his memory. He can go home at any time. It seems at this stage he doesn't know that this happened so he shouldn't have any of the spasms he's been having."

Since he mom had to go out of town for businesses because if she didn't go she would lose her job, Chad took him home. Gabriella explained to him about the last year at East High. How they met, the musicale, the championship, their junior year, them dating, their first kiss, everything. Troy felt so bad he couldn't remember any of it.

"I'm so sorry Gabriella; I can't remember any of it."

"It's okay, I don't blame you. You didn't cause this."

"We're here." Chad said

"Hey Gabi, I'm going to stay here with him until his mom gets home. Do you want to stay too?" Chad asked.

"No I think I'm just going to go home. I'll come back everyday try and get him to remember. I don't know what I'll do if he doesn't remember..." She trailed off.

"Okay, be safe, don't do anything stupid, see you tomorrow."

"Yes mother."

She came back everyday with objects, a tape of the play, they even toured the school.

About a week of this Chad had given up. He officially decided that he probably won't remember. He tried to get Troy to remember some of the beatings; he could remember a few he had gotten before but none that caused his recent bruises. When they went to the courthouse they explained he had lost his memory but the bruises and cuts still remain. They showed them the bruises and cuts and that was enough to convince the judge to send him to jail for child abuse.

When they had gotten home, Gabriella continued to try to make him remember until she broke out in tears and told Troy she'd see him tomorrow. When she came out Chad was there waiting to talk to her.

"You should just give up if he was going to remember he would've already."

"No Chad! Unlike you I refuse to let Troy go."

"You don't have to let him go he's still here."

"It doesn't matter! It's not him… he doesn't remember me… I don't know this Troy I want my Troy back!" and with that she stormed out of the house. She went home and stared at her wall, at her collage. She was staring at it for ages when an idea hit her. She made a plan and would start with it tomorrow.

Sorry so long for an update I got sick and couldn't thanks for all those who reviewed. I'll try to update again tonight but I can't promise anything. Oh and I'm thinking of changing the title to Through Thick and Thin I'll post that if I do that but it'll be the same story.
