Chapter Three- Past
Troy woke up and saw his alarm clock flashing 12:57pm.

He turned to his side to see Nick sprawled next to him.

Troy put a hand on his heart to make sure it was still beating.

After, he covered Nick with the blanket, and headed downstairs.

"Hey Sleeping Beauty," Robbie said.

"Good afternoon to you too, Rapunzel."

"Long hair is so in style!" Robbie argued.

Troy waved it off with a bored look.

"Why was Nick in my bed?" Troy asked, as he flicked on the television.

"He was gonna ask you to play with him," Robbie said, before passing out on the couch next to him.

After half an hour of flipping channels, Troy decided to take a shower and change.

As he came out of his washroom, Nick was sitting there going through some of Troy's old photo albums.

Troy sat next to him on the floor, as Nick went through each grade of school.

"So...Tell me about your mom," Troy said, as he picked up his high school photo album.

Everyone had always said that him and Gabriella were picture perfect.

As Troy flipped through the pages, he somehow had to admit that they did look good together.

Nick flipped a few pages, "We moved around a lot."

"Why?"

"Well before we move again, there's this guy that comes and yells at mom, and mom tells me to go to my room. And when he leaves...Which is really late, mom's crying."

Troy bit his lip with questions spinning around in his head.

For the rest of the day, everything went by with a blur.

Who was 'he'?

What had Gabriella ended up crying about?

And what would 'he' do, causing Gabriella and Nick to move?
