TROY's POV…

"We are through Troy Anthony Bolton!"/click/ wow she has changed since the musical.

I can't believe Gabi just broke up with me. I feel like shit. Oh well I knew it would happen sooner or later. I had to get home quick I told Ryan I'd be back as fast as I could.

When I pulled into the drive-way I saw my father's car in the garage. I got out of my car, slammed the door. And sure enough, dad was at the door.

"Where the fuck have you been? Visiting the FAG!?" he screamed at me.

"Don't call him that. He is one of my friends. And not that it is any of your business, but I was at the hospital. And I'm staying with him till his sister comes back from New York."

"Like hell you are. I'm your father and I say you aren't staying at a damn hospital with an ass fairy, like that Evans kid."

"DAD I ASKED YOU ALREDY QUIT CALLING HIM NAMES. I AM STAYING AT THE HOSPITAL, SO SHUT THE FUCK UP" then pop, he hit me. I recoil a bit.

"Never talk to me like that!" I stood in front of him. He had never hit me before. I could smell the alcohol on his breath. His eyes were blood shot. I took my fist and planted it in his gut. He lunged backward and then fell, ass over applecart. He lay on the floor for a few seconds, looked up at me and I said, "And you never hit me again," I then took my heavy foot and thrust it deep into the space between his legs, and I nailed him smack in the nuts. He yelped in pain and cringed. I took hold of the moment and ran up to my room. I searched through my closet for the escape bag I had packed a month ago. I don't know why I packed it, but it definitely came in handy. I ran back down the stairs and he was still on the ground but he had moved toward the couch. I didn't really acknowledge him I just ran out the front door. I couldn't turn back I heard his voice as I got in my car, "Troy Anthony Bolton if you don't come back in this house you will never be allowed back into my house. Troy did you hear me?"

I simply got in the car, started it and began to drive away, and then I flipped him the bird.

RYAN's POV…

Troy left about twenty minutes ago. I know he said he would be back as soon as possible, but what if he doesn't come back I'd be in this place all alone. I can't be alone like this for a week. Shar abandoned me and now Troy is going to leave me in this place that smells of rubbing alcohol and fresh gauze. I can't do this. God I'm freaking out. Okay he has been gone for about thirty minutes. My hands are sweaty, my head is throbbing, and my jaws feel like they are gunna lock forever. I don't want to be alone, not like this, not being this vulnerable, not again. Forty minutes and he still isn't back. I look up and see the door open slightly, and then he walks in. There seems like there is a golden light around him. I pretend to be asleep.

"Ry you awake? Hello… Ryan, are you asleep?" He sits down next to my bed, I hear his breathing, it is low and deep, it sounds almost like he is angry. What could have happened? I "stirred" slightly, looked at him and then grinned. Time seemed like it had frozen, even if just for that minute. His hair glowed slightly, his teeth gleamed, and his blue eyes sparkled brighter than any star. Here he was, the Sex God of East High, sitting next to me. "Oh Troy, I… When did you come in?"

"Just a minute ago. Did I wake you up? I'm sorry…"

"No your fine, you just startled me a bit. You seem tense, what's wrong?"

"I'd rather not talk about it."

"Come on, we are going to be spending the next week together. I think we are going to learn a lot about each other. Please tell me." I felt kinda flirty so I decided to give him my pouty eye look.

"Alright, but only if you don't tell anyone for awhile."

"Troy I'm in the hospital, who am I going to tell? The half dead guy next door?" he laughed and so did I.

"Well my dad he was drunk and…"

"Oh my god Troy! What did he do?"

"He… he… he hit me." I could see a tear in his eye, "he kept saying stuff about that was the nicest and I screamed at him. He got real pissed and he hit me. I hit him back, and then kicked him where the sun doesn't shine. Now to say the least, I can't go back home." He started to cry, and completely broke down.

"Troy please don't cry," I had no idea how to calm him.

"I just… I can't… he never… and drunk…" he just kind of babbled a bit.

"Troy don't think of him. You get to spend a fun filled week with me, right here." I had to think of something. He just kept crying. "Troy please," I said as I stood up, "I hate seeing you in pain," I grabbed his shoulders gently. I looked into his eyes, and then we embraced. "It is going to be okay Troy, I'm here for you."
