You Know You Love Me (Book one)

Chapter 23

Troye's POV

"Troye, Troye!" I wake up to Tyler shaking me trying not to wake our friends

"We need to talk, now, while everyone is sleeping."

"Tyler, what time is it?"

"That doesn't matter, common." And with that he grabs my wrist and pulls me our room, closing the door, then locking it. He turned around and looked at me

"Why?"

"Why what?"

"Why did you do it? Why did you start cutting again, Troye?"

"Because..."

"Because isn't an answer!"

"Tyler..." I look up at him, there was a tear streaming down his face

"You told me you wouldn't do it again."

"I know..."

"Then why would you do it."

"Cause I was stressed and confused and hurt."

"You could have talked to me about it."

"But, Tyler that's the thing, you were already worried about me, I didn't want to make you any more worried than you already were and I wasn't ready to tell anyone."

"Tell anyone what?" he stepped towards me and crossed his arms

"I caught him..."

"Caught who doing what, Troye?"

"Sam, cheating on me." Tyler's face turned three shades lighter

"Wait, what? Sam cheated on you and you caught him?"

"I came home from a friend's house and I walked in on him kissing some other guy." I could feel the tears building up in my eyes. "But I let it go, then a few weeks later he came home from what I thought was work, but his hair was messed up, he didn't smell like his normal cologne, and he had a hickey on the side of his neck, but the thing was he kept doing it. It was about this time I started cutting and like I said he knew. But I stayed with him." It was now, that I let my tears fall

"Troye, why did you stay with him?"

"Caused I loved him, Tyler! When I tried to confront him about it, he would yell at me and deny it, then when I started to cry or go into the bathroom to you know, he would bang on the door and continue to yell. I wasted so many tears on him, but he didn't even care!" now I was I was a mix of pissed, upset and just plain tired. I was pacing around the room, hyperventilating, my hands shaking.

"Troye, baby, calm down."

"Tilly, I never meant to hurt you, I'm so sorry, I love you." Then I ran to the bathroom, locking the door behind me once I was in

I found the small blade of my razor on the counter where I had left it. I look down at my uninjured arm, then within seconds, the blade was running across my skin.

Tyler's POV

Troye ran out of the room and I raced after him, but before I could catch him he entered the bathroom and locked the door

"Troye, let me in, please." I started to bang on the door. "Troye!!" my eyes were quickly filling with tears

"Tyler?" said a voice coming from the living room

"Troye!!" then I heard footsteps, then within seconds Zoe was by my side

"Tyler what happened, w...where's Troye?" I told her everything that happened

"Oh my god..." she runs over to the couch and starts shaking the guys. They lazily open their eyes

"W...what..." but then they saw her face and they shot right up waking the others

"What's going on?!" Alfie says taking Zoe by the shoulders, there was now tears streaming down her face, then he looked at me. "Tyler..."

"Okay, there are two crying people in this room right now. What's happening?" Ricky said standing up, confused

"Troye's in the bathroom."

"Okay."

"And he locked the door and won't let us in." I looked at Connor his eyes wide

"Okay, it doesn't matter what's happening we just have to get that door open."

"Zoe do you have a bobby pin?" Joey said looking her

"Yeah, but what does that-"

"Just can I see it?" She hands him the pin and he take it

"I think I can open the door with it. So guys stand back, we don't know what to expect." We step away and Zoe takes me in her arms. Then Joey slides the pin in the door and starts shaking.

Suddenly, there was a loud thud from behind the door. "TROYE!" I try to run to the door, Zoe and Joe hold me back

"Got it!" joey holds up the pin

"Open the fucking door!' I scream.

Joey carefully turns the door handle, it creeks open, what I saw was traumatising. Troye was laying on the floor, unconscious, blood leaking from new slits in his right arm

"TROYE!" Zoe and Joe let go of me and I run to his side. I look at his face, his usually bright pink lips several shades lighter. Then I put my ear next to his mouth

"He's still breathing, thank god." I let out a sigh of relief. "We have to get him to a hospital." My tears fall onto the floor, my chest hurt from crying so much and I couldn't breath

"Wait we have to wrap his arm up." Ricky runs into the bathroom, takes his bleeding arm and wraps it in his sweatshirt. "Marcus can you...uh?"

"I'm already on it." He picks Troye up in his arms and starts carrying him to his car

"Every pick a car, Tyler you ride with Marcus." And with that, we gather into the cars and we were off to the hospital
