***Troye's P.O.V.***

I wake up early in the morning and I've only gotten about three hours of sleep- it wasn't a comfortable sleep either. I had several nightmares consisting of Connor, Tyler, and my mother.

I squint my eyes to try and decipher what the clock reads.

"6:30am"

I know there's no way I could fall asleep again so I lure myself from my bed and into the kitchen to make coffee in hopes of it waking me up.

"Troye is that you?" I jump a bit and then turn to see Sage curled up on the couch, her knees to her chest.

"Yea- I'm assuming you couldn't sleep either?" I quickly push start to make the coffee and while its brewing I take a seat next to Sage.

"I just miss her so much" she sighs and even in the darkness I can see her red puffy cheeks.

"We all do, and it's ok to cry and feel upset, sometimes you don't have to be brave." I hold her tight.

"I love you Troye" she places her head on my chest and I take my fingers to brush out her hair- I know that's comforted her ever since she was little.

"I love you too" I put my head on hers and slowly fall asleep.

****

"Troye your coffee's done!" I awake to see Tyde in front of me with a mug, steam hovering above it.

"Thanks" I rub my eyes and take the mug from him taking a sip and feeling relief.

Sage wakes up too next to me.

"What time is it?" She groans rubbing her eyes.

"It's eleven a.m." Tyde states.

"Eleven?!" She gets up quickly with much more energy.

"Woah what are you late for a date or something?" Tyde teases and laughs.

"No! I'm late to meet with the funeral directors! Dad, you have to come too!" She turns as my father just comes out from the hallway.

"For what?" He asks.

"Ugh" she rolls her eyes, "we have to meet with the funeral directors, now get dressed" she runs out of the room and my father more casually walks out of the room.

"I guess it's just us, I don't have any plans today" Tyde slips down onto the couch.

"Me too, expect tumblr" I get up to get my laptop and phone.

Without a rush I walk to my room. I enter and look for my phone, chargers, and my laptop. Then I crawl into my bed with my laptop on my lap and phone by my side. I turn on my laptop first.

"One missed Skype call"

Fuck.

I forgot about calling Connor. He's going to hate me now. I quickly call him back and feel three billion times better when he answers.

"Connor. I'm so sorry I just had to do a lot and I couldn't sleep so I was with Sage in the living room and I was talking to her then I was making coffee and then I was drinking coffee, because, well, that's what you do with coffee and then I-" he cuts me off.

"Troye it's ok, I completely understand." He smiles.

"You do? I mean, um, thanks" I blush.

"And your rambling is adorable" he laughs as I feel my cheeks burning from the amount of blushing over the past five seconds.

"Thanks, so how's working back in the big apple for you?"

"Nice, I mean not as well as being able to see you in person, but I love New York" he turns and looks up, "oh hello"
