When it was the week Chad's and Troy's had their first anniversary. Troy sat in the therapy room -as he liked to call it- talking to Lena like he always did on Tuesdays he was sitting in the arm chair listing too her story.. As it turns out she had a friend when she was a teenager who suffered from anorexia and she wasn't as lucky as he was in the moment she never got the help she needed.

"That's why you became a psychiatrist to help others?" Troy's eyes was searching answers from her face and when she nod he gets his answer and after that he just doesn't know what to say.

"But we aren't here to talk about why I became a psychiatrist… We are here to help you… So I have heard that you have a boyfriend?" She asks with a big smile on her face making Troy's face turns pink he doesn't know why it just does.

"Yeah… We have been together nearly a month… On Friday to be exact…" He smiles at the thought. It was just the fact that they were probably gonna spend it in the hospital sense he wasn't really allowed to leave the hospital.

"So it's the first anniversary then?" She asks with a smile playing on the lips.

"Yeah… It wont be so special though sense I am stuck in here…" He says sadness was evident in his voice. It was clear to the female that he was not really happy about the situation. He wanted to have a special night with the boy he cared about… She smiles gently to him.

"You know what… I'll see what I can do and maybe I can make sure you two have a great evening with out the hospitals surroundings… I am not making any promises but I will see what I can do…" She smiles softly to the teenage boy who brightens up by her kinds words… Even if it wasn't possible she had at least tried and that was all that mattered to Troy in the end.

"Would… Would you do that for me??" He asks stuttering looking at her with questioning eyes. She wasn't joking. His heart was beating with excitement. She would really try for him.

"Of course… I will talk to your doctors and I will come by tomorrow and tell you how it went okay?" She asks with the same excitement he felt.

Jack Bolton had always loved his job. Seeing teenagers develop into young adults during the four years they attend East High. From being shy when they come through the doors for the first time to the last day and they accepted their diplomas, he was proud to be a part of the process when the teenagers found them self. During his years as a coach he had been many peoples role model and some of them even told him secrets that their parents would never find out.

Then he asked him self the question. How come he could be more successful with other peoples kids then his own child? How could he fail to see that his son wasn't eating like he should. He maybe had succeeded as coach but as a father he had failed big time. He sighs as his students to being to fill the gym. They seated on the bleachers and waited for instructions from their teacher.

"Okay students today--" He was cut of by a student.

"Coach is it true that Troy isn't in school because he has Anorexia?" The male student asks.

"Why my son isn't at school isn't any of your business but he has a reason for not attending school like he should… Now I would like to continue my class with out being interrupted! The next one who asks a question that refer to my son, I will detention. I am clear?!" The angry teacher was coming forward. They had no right to interfere with his personal life.

"Yes coach Bolton…" The class says in one union.

Then he continued his class without being interrupted this time.

Chad walked though the corridors he had walked so many times before. His eyes glued to the floor that had been white from the beginning but now it was simply grey after years and thousands of students walking on it. He wondered if anyone had bean wearing the same thoughts he carried right now. He was worried about Troy. He knew that someone had told the school that he was in the hospital… He just didn't know who.

He turns into is locker and put in his combination and put in his books before he heads of to lunch. The stares was not easy to ignore he noticed… Like he was a freak. Maybe he was. Dating the anorexic boy. Was it a stupid move? What if they broke up? What if he was just something he needed in the process while he recovered? No! He has to stop thinking thoughts like that. Troy and he loved each other and nothing was gonna change that. Or maybe it would change in the future but not now because they both needed each other.

"Chad are you ready for lunch?" The blonde ask him he nods and walks after Sharpay into the cafeteria people talking and staring at him. He sits down with his friends his head hung down over the red and white table. He didn't exactly know why he felt so depressed… He just did. But he thought it could be because that he wouldn't be able to spend the whole Friday with his boyfriend. He sighs heavy before taking a bite of the tuna sandwich his mother had made him for lunch. He could feel his friends worried looks on him.

"Could you please stop looking at me?" He asks his head never leaving its position over the table. They turned their eyes away and he could only guess that they exchanged worried glances with each other before they went back to talking with each other.

The door to the child unit was opened and everyone was curious who was visiting, everyone hoping that it was someone for them, the woman who was walking with confident steps seemed to know were she was heading. Walking into the room were a anorexic boy were stationed.

"Troy, I made you some cookies! I wont leave until you finished them." Troy looked up and saw the woman who was like mother to him. The gray hair being pulled back in a hard knot in her neck and the blue jeans and white button up shirt. It was his Anne he knew and loved. (I missed her LOL xD)

"Hello to you to Anne…" He smiles softly. He put away the book he had been occupying him self with and sits up to get a better look at Anne.

"So you want to eat some cookies and talk?" She asks softly.

"Yeah sure why not…" His voice was kind as he scooted over so she could sit down. She hands him the box of cookies she was carrying and he opened the box and slowly started to eat one of them, even if his mind started to count how many calories they contained and how mush weight he would gain by eating all of them. And by all of them he meant the four that was in that box.

"You usually have them finished of by now…" Anne's soft voice cut of his math equation that was processing inside his head. He had barely eaten half and that was with mush force he had propped it inside him. "I thought you were getting better…" She says in a still very soft and gentle tone.

"I am… Its just that… My sense and brain isn't very cooperative at the moment…" He explains and her eyes begs him to go on. "My sense says this is a good thing that I have started to gain weight but my brain says it's the worst that can happen specially when it wants me to lose more weight…" He explains. "Its so mush more then just the eating part… It al these mental stuff to… Its not easy as everyone thinks…" He says quietly.

"I never said it was easy Troy…" She says slowly. "But when they said that you were on your way of getting better I thought you gotten you appetite back…" She says slowly.

"I have believe I have… I eat like a third of the meals now… In the beginning I didn't eat anything… Now at least I eat something and it stays down.." He says and hopes that it will be good enough answer for Anne to accept.

"I want to have back the old Troy Bolton…" She says. "But I guess he is gone.."

"Yeah I am sorry for screwing things up… For making you worried…" He says and he knows it will take a lot more to gain their trust back. But at least it was a start.

"Its not me you need to apologize to Troy…" Anne says and he knows that she is right. Its his parents that needs that apology, but then again they had been some sort of trigger for him to begin this. He didn't know what to do right now… He just wished that what ever would happen it would be a good thing.

It was Friday and Troy was currently waiting for Chad to come get him. They decided to keep it down. Just a movie and some dinner afterwards. But it was enough for both of them, and they decided to go to the next town that was about forty minutes away. Neither of them wanted the stares so it would be better to go to a town were nobody knew them. So here he sat waiting for his boyfriends arrival hoping he would show soon enough because he was tired of waiting.

"So you got a date tonight?" It was Nick. Troy nods slowly. Was there anything else to say about this? He was going on a date with his boyfriend of a month. Nothing big but still big enough to count as a good evening together. "Just so you know we need you back before 11, because that is when the night staff comes in…" He inform the fragile teenager.

"I know you have told me that a millions times just today…" He says and a soft smile. The staff that was working during the day and night had agreed to let Troy go on this date, with out the other staff knowing. So really he was breaking the rules not that he cared though… He just wanted one night out of that place.

Nick left the teenager alone, and when the dark skinned boy showed up in his door he smiles and walks over to him lacing their hands together pressing a soft kiss to his lips. "Hey…" He whispers softly.

"Hi…" Chad whispers back before pressing their lips back together in a loving kiss. "Ready to go?" He asks softly. Troy nods and they leave the unit with out being noticed by either the staff or the kids. Seated in Chad's car they started the drive to the movies were they decided to see the latest Harry Potter sitting in the back so they could steal kisses from one and other with out hearing words about them being disgusting.

When the movie ended they went to a small Italian restaurant. Chad taking a big portion of pasta and a coke while Troy only took some Cesar salad and water. Chad's looks was filled with worries and concern. Troy knew that he wouldn't stop worrying until he was healthy both physically and mentally, the mentally part could take a long time to get healthy from sense it was usually that put them in the position they were in.

"You are not eating more then that?" Chad asks worried.

"No… Not very hungry…" Troy answers quietly when he left more then half of his portion on the plate to show that he wasn't eating anything more. He drank the water he had in his glass before putting it down. "Chad you don't haft to be worried… I am fine… I have eaten and it will stay down!" He promises his boyfriend.

"I just thought you would eat more sense you said--" Chad was cut of by his angry boyfriend.

"I know I said that I was getting better but just because I am getting better it doesn't mean that I magically go back to eating like I did before I got Anorexia!" Troy shoots at his boyfriend who looked down on his plate with food. "I am sorry Chad… But you are not the first who thinks I am eating more now…" He apologize.

"It okay… I shouldn't push you so mush… It's a long process…" He whispers understanding and nods slowly.

"Look Chad if this is to mush for you to handle I understand…" Troy says. "I want to be with you I want to but… With me being anorexic maybe it isn't such a good idea…" Troy looks into Chad's eyes.

"I am not giving up on us Troy I am not…" Chad says with desperation in his voice.

"I didn't say we should give up… But put it on hold for a month or two… Just until I get better, so I can focus on getting better… Do you understand Chad?" Troy pleads with the broken boy in front of him. He didn't want to hurt Chad he really didn't.

"I understand…" He whispers.

"I love you Chad… I do… But--" Now it was Chad's turn to interrupt Troy.

"But you haft to focus on your wellbeing right now." Chad fills in for him and Troy just nods slowly trying to not to cry.

"Please don't hate me… Please don't…" Troy begs.

"I could never hate you Troy I love you to mush for it…" Chad smiles softly to the boy on the other side. Troy smiles gratefully to Chad.

Chad pulled up in the hospital and 10.04 and Troy smiles to him. "Thanks for everything Chad…" Troy smiles softly to Chad. He press a soft peak on to his cheek.

"Its okay Troy… I swear. I will still support you through this whole thing." Chad promise.

"What would I ever do with out you Chad?" Troy asks softly.

"Pulling even more stupid stuffs…" He smiles softly. Troy chuckle softly before going out the car and watch Chad drive away.

Even though it had been his decision to put their relationship on hold for a while he couldn't help to feel tears inside his eyes when he entered his room. He was probably stupid who pushed Chad away from him. But he needed to focus on his recovery.

At least that was what he convinced him self.

Nick appeared in the doorway just a few moments after looking happy. "So how did your date go?" He asks curiously the smile wouldn't be wiped of his face. Troy looks at him with sad eyes. Hoping and praying he would get the message. "Not that good huh?" He asks and walks more in to the room.

"We are putting it on hold for a few months… Just until I get better…" He explains to the nurse that seemed to be sorry for his sake. He sits down next to Troy on the white bed.

"I am sorry Troy I thought Chad seemed like a good guy…" He says not understanding how Chad would hurt Troy so bad it would make him cry. Specially when Troy needed him more then ever.

"It was me…" He begins. "I was the one who said we should put on hold…" Troy explains quietly.

Chad walked into his house and saw his parents watching TV in the living room. He decide against to make his presence more known to them so he just goes up to his room to go to bed before his heart would collapse completely and he would be crying uncontrollably. He undressed and brushed his teeth before going under the bed to get some sleep.

Before he went to sleep he looked at a picture when he and Troy was younger both a big grin on their face, Troy showing of his metal covered teeth and Chad just smiling big. He missed those times when life had been easy…

Why was it so hard now?

He focused on his ceiling and found a dark spot on it. He knew how it got there. It was when Troy, Zeke and him self was younger. They had been painting in his room and somehow they started arguing about a jar with paint. Troy and Zeke had been pulling the jar and both let it go making it fly up in the air and hitting the ceiling. And still after so many years he thought the spot would disappear but it didn't. It stuck there. Somehow it always reminded him of the days when he was younger and when life had been mush easier then it was now.

He sighs and turns around on his bed so his is laying on his stomach trying to get on better thoughts. But every time he closes his eyes he sees pictures of a happy Troy smiling widely. He would never Chad's mind. Chad loved Troy to mush to let him go and he didn't know if he was letting him go when he agreed to put this on hold for a few months.

"Chad?" His father's voice was heard from the bottom floor of the house. "Are you home?" He asks and soon his feet begin to take him up to his sons room. "I thought I heard you come home… How was the date?" He asks his son curiously.

"It was good…" He answers shortly.

"You sure? You seem a bit down.." His father observe.

"He said we should put it on hold for a while, until he gets better…" Chad admits knowing there is no idea to lie to his father who will smell it immediately.

"Oh I am sorry Chad…" He didn't need his fathers pity right now he just wanted to be alone.

"Dad can you leave me alone right now..." He asks his father not looking at him once. He could hear his father leave his room and close the door behind leaving Chad in his own thoughts. Just like he had requested.
