Giving Up

Chapter 14 : I think I'm sick.

*Troy's POV*

I got back home after visiting Harry, I can't believe the mess he was in. Is this really happening to him? Or is it just a dream, and if it's a dream, when will we wake up from it? If his parent finds out, or let me say his stepfather he will kick him out of the house since his mother doen't even love her unique child, how could they be so heartless?

But damn I don't have enough money in my account to put a lawyer in charge. I can't ask my parents for a huge amount of money because they will insist to know the reason why.

-Phone rings-

"Hello"

"Hey Troy, it's me Emily. Is it true that Harry got arrested? We woke up to this awful news, Peter sent me a text early in the morning." She asked worriedly.

"Unfortunately yes."

"I'm with the girls we are on our way to your house, you're there?"

"I will be waiting." I answered as I let the phone fall over the couch without hanging it off. I wasn't too tired to that I didn't pay attention until I heard Miley's voice.

"Do you girls think that we can help Harry?" She asked.

"Let us keep our fingers crossed." Answered Emily.

"Why are you worrying about Harry this much, Miley? I'm not being rude but it's kind of weird." Asked Lauren.

"Shut up Lauren."  Emily Muttered.

"It's okay Emily. I agree that it may seem weird but you have to know girls that I am in love with Troy, I really am .And making him happy makes me happy as well. It's true that I don't know him very much but  when I look at him I cannot deny the "Hope" I see in him. He is the only reason I held in this long, he is so special to me. The  day I met him, he was reading a book that  summed up his personality. He is self-assured and in charge. Very independent, his guiding principle in life is 'I'll do it my way.'. Troy is very self-reliant and knows how to stay strong for himself and the people he loves. He knows exactly what he wants and is not afraid of pursuing his dreams. "

"Oh wow girl! You really are in love!" Affirmed Lauren. "It took us a few years to get to know Troy and you... Well I'm giving you a standing ovation girl!"

"Well done." Adeed Emily. 

Hearing those words made me feel like I'm reborn again. I stood up  in front of the mirror and quoted "Stay Strong!" Seeing gleams  of hope in my eyes.

I heard  knocking on the door  I went down to open it. 

"Here you are girls." I greeted them.

"Hey honey." Said Miley kissing me softly on the cheeks which is something I'm used to yet it made me feel butterflies.

I was about to close the door as someone shouted "Don't close the door Troy, the amazing Peter is here." He jumped into the house spreading his arms apart.

"It's not time for jokes Peter." I rolled my eyes.

"I'm sorry." He nodded. "Girls let's sit in the kitchen." He suggested.

"Why is there Pizza?" Asked Lauren.

"Guys! can't you be serious, for once?" I shouted.

"We're trying to get you laughing." She said as she shot me a look.

"Laughing?" I raised a brow.

"Do they act this way all the time?" Asked Miley.

"You have no idea." Responded Emily. "Welcome to the club." She faked a laugh.
