PLEASE READ!!
So…I got my reviews, yay! And I just wanted to make some things clear:
Troy and cutting: I know its bit over the top but it has to be dramatic…he will stop soon
Gabby (& others) and Troy: he will realize how his actions affect them
Troy and hurt: he won't die or anything – don't worry…but a bit of drama has to be added
exaggerating: I know this whole story's bit over the top – its wanted, so stop telling me it is. thx
Writing and grammar: English isn't my first language – sry for my mistakes and since I got a message saying my grammar sucks – I learn it my 6thyear now! It can't be perfect!
So now things are cleared…
15 reviews to the next one pls!
And again...sry for my mistakes (Disclaimer: I don't owe HSM…)
Chad nodded. "It's the best…"
I nodded as well. "Let's do it…"
We all stood up and Chad and I walked home, preparing to meet up later again at Nick's house. – Getting the plan done…
Gabby's POV
The next day…
The boys and me had met up to get our plan done, unfortunately yesterday, Lucille didn't let Nick go, so we had to delay it. But now we were standing on the street in front of the Bolton's house. We all were dressed as casual as possible, we didn't want anyone getting suspicious.
I looked at my watch. It was already 9 pm and it was getting dark. "Well, let's go…" I whispered and we started walking in the dark. Passing the houses of the neighbors' of the block. We passed the block and walked on. Most of the houses were lightened brightly…you could sense Christmas was coming up soon. 5 weeks to be exactly. (AN: I have no idea if I calculated right but now it's like that…: P)
I had no idea which way to take and as it was freezing cold, I rubbed my hands together and put my gloves on. Chad and Nick took the lead while I kept myself in the background. We turned right and then left two times.
We walked for a quite long time and finally stopped at our destination. – "Ms. Harington." Nick stepped forward while Chad and me followed.
He knocked on the door. A few moments later an old lady opened the door. Her eyes widened with happiness when she saw Nick.
"Nick! Come in my boy…I haven't seen you in 2 years…" She hugged him heartily as he walked in. Then she spotted Chad and me. "Oh! You brought some friends. Come in come in…"
We walked in and she closed the door. Ms. Harington told us to sit down with her. We did so…
"So Nick, why are you here with your friends?" She was smiling.
"Well, you remember Troy is living with my dad?" She nodded. "Shame your parents marriage didn't work…you two were always so nice and cute when I looked after you two…"
"Uhm…there's something about Troy."
She looked at him, her smile falling. "What is it dear?"
"Well, dad…erm…he…he beat him up the past two years." Nick looked down.
Ms. Harington looked at Nick, expressionless. "What did you say?"
"Jack beat him up and Troy cut himself. He came to live with Nick and Lucille and now he's missing." Chad said and looked at the elderly woman.
She looked at me and Chad. "No way…"
"I'm sorry…but we know where he is, but the police can't help us since there's no real prove for them."
"We need your help." I said and looked at her. She looked me up and down. She was still thinking…
Ms Harington's POV
Nick and his friends were all looking at me desperately. I sighed, I had to help them. And for Troy as well…
"What do I have to do?"
I saw their faces lighten up a bit. "Since you live next door to dad, you can hear if there's someone shouting."
I nodded at the boy sitting next to Nick.
"So…could you call the police and tell them you have been hearing shouting for a few days now and it stopped out of the blue?" Nick was biting his lower lip as the girl asked me.
I nodded and was about to open my mouth when…
Troy's POV
I was kneeling in the room, my back turned to the desk and I was facing my dad, sitting on the bed, the belt lying next to him. He was smirking.
To my left was the door…he didn't lock it, but I couldn't try to run away. – He would catch me immediately…
My shirt was lying on the bed as well. Since he had hit me with the belt, I couldn't bear raising my arms. - It hurt too much.
And there I was, looking around for an escape. My dad wanted me to lie down, but I wouldn't. – He would only take advantage of that.
"WILL YOU FINALLY DO WHAT I TOLD YOU!?" He was roaring at me at the top of his lungs. It must've been hurt at the neighbors, but old Ms. Harington wouldn't be suspicious I guess…
I looked around and my eyes fell on the sheet that I had been drawing and writing the day before.
Chad's POV
We all sat there, shocked. It was Jack's voice. – Jack's voice shouting at someone. I looked at Ms. Harington. – She turned to her phone and began to dial the police's number. "That's it…if he's there, the police has to get him…"
She called the police. – Thank GOD!
Troy's POV
I didn't listen to my dad's shouting. – I didn't need to.
I picked up the sheet and folded it twice and closed my eyes. I wanted to leave…but there was no way. I opened my eyes again and they fell on the razor blade!
I crumbled the sheet in my left hand and picked the metal up with my right one. I stared at it. I could leave…it would give me the chance to.
Nick's POV
As Ms. Harington hung up, Chad, Gabby and me stood up. "Thanks Ms. Harnigton."
She smiled. "Anything for you and your brother. Those years I have looked after you...you are like my own grandchildren."
I smiled at her as well and them we all left again, we needed to get home to my mom...
No One's POV
Troy laid the razor on his thigh and started to undo the bandage. When Jack noticed this he stood up, the belt in his hand. "STOP THAT!"
Troy didn't listen, he tried to get rid of the bandage, nothing else counted for him.
Jack was standing in front of him and continued to shout, when Troy didn't even bother to look up he punched him, the boy's blasted lip began to bleed again. Troy's eyes darted to his arm again and in one quick movement he loosened the bandage and it fell on the ground.
He felt the blood rush down his arm as the cut was still bleeding. – Blood coming to surface at high speed.
Jack watching him raising his hand a bit, just high enough to be hovering over his arm. "LAY IT AWAY!"
He slapped him again, but Troy didn't let himself getting irritated. He took some deep breaths as his head began to feel very light.
Jack raised the hand with the belt again and was about to hit Troy when suddenly…
Police man #1's POV
After the old lady had phoned us we had immediately rushed to the address she's given us. We entered the house and no one was downstairs, then we heard shouting again. – It was coming from upstairs.
Me and three others rushed upstairs and listened carefully. We found the door. – It was locked, so we had to break in.
I stepped back and ran against the door, breaking it open. The next thing we saw was a boy kneeling in front of another man. I recognized the boy. – It was that missing Bolton boy. And coincidently we were at his father's house. Then the belt the guy was holding was soaring through the air and hit the boy on his spine.
He dropped the razor he was holding in his hand, ready to create a cut. He started to sway back and forth as his father continued his actions. None of them had noticed us coming in.
"POLICE! DROP THE BELT AT THE MOMENT!" I shouted and I watched the man look up in shock, while the boy's eyes started roll back at the huge amount of blood lose. He was about to fall back and hit his head on the metal foot of the desk behind him.
He could break his head. I rushed over and caught him in time. His eyes were closed and his lip was blasted open. His body began to jolt. I looked at his forearm, there was a huge slash and the blood was dropping on the carpet. Without hesitation I took my jacket of and pressed it against his forearm.
"WE NEED AN AMBULANCE HERE!" I shouted as two other policeman brought his father away. He was going to get asked about what we just witnessed.
The ambulance came minutes later, taking Troy to the hospital…
Lucille's POV
Nick had gone out with Chad and Gabriella, it was already 10:45 pm and he was still not at home. Suddenly the phone rang.
I picked it up, hoping it was Nick…
"Ms. Bolton? It's officer McElroy speaking, I'm happy to say we found your son."
I didn't know what to say, my heart stopped beating. "Where?"
"At your husband's house, we got a call saying there was a fight going on…Troy's at the hospital."
It felt like a million tons were lifted off my shoulders. "Thank you…"
"No problem ma'am." He hung up and so did I.
I felt the tears well up in my eyes. Suddenly the door opened and Nick, Gabby and Chad rushed in. "MOM! We have to go to the hospital…they..they…"
"Nick, catch your breath, I already got the call. We'll go there immediately. Come on…we all go there." I smiled at Gabby and Chad…
"Thanks Ms. Bolton…" Gabriella smiled shyly. "Oh, please call me Lucille." She nodded and we made our way to my car, driving to the hospital.
Gabby's POV
FINALLY! They had found Troy! I didn't know how to say, I was so happy. Everything was alright now…
At the hospital
No One's POV
The four of them rushed to the hospital. Lucille stepped forward to the porter. "Hello, it's Lucille Bolton, my son Troy must've gotten here a few minutes ago…" She wanted to see her son, just as the other three…
"Well, the doctor is in his office…just go there. This hallway down and then left, the first door on the right. He can tell you where he is and those things."
Lucille nodded. Nick, Gabby and Chad had already made their way towards the doctor's office and Lucille rushed after them.
When they were in front of the doctor's office they knocked and got in without waiting for an answer.
The doctor looked up from a few sheets on his desk. – Some of them were scans. "Ah! You have to be Troy Bolton's family." He looked at them without expression. Neither Lucille, nor any of the teenagers could say how Troy was.
"Yes…we want to see him."
He nodded. "But before that you should all sit down…"
So…what will he tell them? What punishment will Jack receive? What about Sarah and her twins?
