Chapter 1- Cold

"Troy Anthony Bolton!" My dad screamed as I entered my front door at 3:30 in the morning way pass curfew, curfew was midnight. I cringed from his tone.

"Yes dad?" I asked blinking my baby blue eyes. His face looked beyond pissed. The third time this week I got in past curfew.

"Where have you been?" He demanded, his arms crossed against his body. I slipped off my black and white converse. I put my letterman jacket on the chair next to me.

"At a party" I said quietly, my dad looked frustrated. He looked up at the ceiling and rubbed his hand over his face.

"Again? Troy you need to stop! This is the fifth party this week. Are you ever going to stop?" He asked

"I am the basketball captain" I mumbled leaning against the counter, crossing my arms. Two can play at this game.

"Troy your fifth party!" His voice echoed through out the house. I then heard somebody clear there throat. I looked up towards the stairs.

"What's going on?" My mom was standing on the stairs holding my baby sister Nicole in her hands. I smiled up at my mom softly. Nicole was only 1 month old, she came two weeks early. My mom has been low on sleep, she has been cranky, irritable, almost like she is PMSing.

"Sorry Lucy, I didn't mean to wake Nicole up. I know how hard it is for her to fall asleep." It's true, when I baby-sit it takes me forever to get her to go back to sleep but she was still loveable. She had the Bolton eyes, my moms straight brown hair and the charming smile.

"Troy honey, why are you getting home so late tonight, isn't it like the 3rd time this week" She asked. I groaned and put my hand to my face.

"Yes, sorry I was at a party" I mumbled into my hand, I heard Nicole whimper. She was staring at me and then Nicole started to cry. My mom walked down the stairs and headed towards the kitchen to where the bottles were kept. I smiled as she walked by me. As soon as she was gone my dad turned back to me.

"Troy you are 16 for god sake!" He muffled his yell

"Yeah and at least I am not drunk" I told him

"Last weekend you came in drunk Troy and Abby was here with a friend! You have two sisters now Troy! They look up to you, show them you are responsible." His blue eyes were almost grey.

"They only look up to me because I am 6'5" I mumbled, I heard my dad sigh in frustration.

"Troy they don't give a shit about how tall you are! They look up to you, Nicole loves you and she is only one. She loves her big brother." He said, I rolled my eyes.

"Whatever" I mumbled and started up the stairs.

"Troy"

"And Abby is old enough" I pointed out, I then took a deep breath.

"Troy, Abby is 13!"

I closed my eyes and sighed, I was really tired. I didn't want to do this anymore.

"Dad I have school in the morning, basketball in the afternoon. Can I please go to bed?" I asked him. My dad looked at me sternly.

"You are grounded for a week. No friends, No parties, No girls, the only thing you are doing is what we ask you to do. Now go to bed."

I wanted to protest the grounding that it was only my 3rd time this week but I decided against it because it would only make it ten times worse. I fumbled into up the stairs and into my bedroom but before I went into mine I opened the door to Abby's room. Abby is thirteen years old. She had my dad's black hair and in waves. Of course she had the Bolton blue eyes but she had a touch of my mom's green eyes. Hers were more blue/greenish, she just got her braces off last month right before Nicole was born. And she doesn't like any boys. Thank God.

I left her room and went into mine, I shut the door and discarded my shirt. I threw my jeans on the floor to be replaced with a pair of basketball shorts. I layed on my bed and turned the lights out. I then shut my eyes. I was fast asleep.

****TROYELLA****TROYELLA****TROYELLA****

It was cold. It was miserable cold. It is the worst it has ever been. I lay there shivering with only two thin blankets over my small underweight body. I only weighed 89 pounds and I was sixteen. My mom ditched my dad and us for some boyfriend. We were left with my sick dad, he had a heart problems which made him die 6 months ago. So Haley and I were left by ourselves on the street. We didn't want to be split up so this is where we are. I have taken three showers in the last three months. I know gross. It makes me sick, I have also been in the same clothes. I did have a sleeping bag though, that's about as lucky as I get. Well we did have a pillow and those thin blankets that don't do shit.

Haley was sleeping right next to me; her cheeks were bright red from the hollowing winds. Haley is twelve years old; Haley has brown eyes, dark wavy hair just like mine. She was small like me. She was 4'9. I was standing at 5'4. We all used to be a happy family until my mom cheated and my dad got sick. I sighed in the complete darkness. I heard somebody hit the dumpster about a block down. It made my body jump in the air. It was always scary here at night.

We eat at the soup kitchen everyday sometimes we got a piece of bread. I turned over to see Haley's brown orbs looking up at me.

"Hey, what are you doing awake?" I asked her softly

"I-I c-could s-sleep I am s-soo c-cold" She said her teeth chattering together.

"Come over here in my sleeping bag." She nodded her head and grabbed her blanket and pillow. She then climbed into my sleeping bag. Extra warmth, I shivered from the warmth. Extra blankets, extra body heat. It made me sigh.

It was quiet for a little while; my eyes stared into the darkness again, my mind wandering from topic to topic. Then her voice carried out through the darkness.

"I love you Gabs" tears stung my eyes from her words.

"I love you too Haley, I love you too" I whispered into the silent night air. I looked down to see Haley sleeping. After a few minutes I was also sleeping thinking tomorrow will be better.
