In five months it would've marked two years of Troy's sobriety.It felt amazing for the twenty-two-year-old to sketch, do murals, and considering a career path of his own. But that all flushed down the toilet once his Mother came back around. Troy was the twin that still held a weakness for his Kimberly—that trait about his Cancer she used to her advantage—finessing him outta money by acting as if she really wanted to be in his life.
Troy was a easily wounded individual and his Mommy issues sent him back to the drug that didn't allow him to feel weak. That's when Troy met the famous preacher's daughter, Hailey Butterfly, on a food run to Chipotle and unbeknownst to him, Troy was aware of her nepotism and her just getting out of rehab. It was as if Hailey could see the former addict in him and approached him. It simply took conversation over Chipotle to Troy joining her to visit her dealer and buy what they both was yearning for.
Every since it's been Troy and Hailey living life high and away from their families.
The thing that tore Troy away from Hailey was the day of Thanksgiving and he found out his Grandmother had cancer. His only way to cope was leave his family the way he done and get high. But it was the after that made Troy realize he had to distance himself from Hailey.
Although Hailey's childhood revolved around attending her Father's megachurch, she was a cold hearted person and too emotionally unavailable for Troy. Any moment he would express how his Grandmother possibly dying to her she would dismiss him and put the drug in front of his face.
They start arguing more frequently and would result in Hailey calling Troy a crybaby. When he would try to leave she would become aggressive and make him stay in the only way she knew how—the drug. She even resulted in hiding his phone when he was high and blamed him on losing it. The night that he did escape, he decided to pull a her on her and make her intake the drug more than him so she could be in a deep sleep. He found his phone in her pillow and left her in the guest house of the Butterfly's Bel Air mansion.
