//Connor's POV//

Its was 11:36 am when you could start hearing Alfie's stomach growling from the lack of food. Zoe scolded him for not eating a proper breakfast and only having half of a granola bar.

"Well I'm sorry for believing someone when the say 'I'll make you a breakfast burrito in the morning'." Alfie attempts to immitate Zoe's voice by making his voice three octaves higher than any mans should ever reach.

"I told you that I could only make it for you if you picked me up thirty minutes earlier but you came five minutes late." Zoe came back at him.

It was always hilarious to watch there bickering because someone from outside of our small cirlce we had formed would have thought they hated each other, but if you take a minute and look at the loving stares and blushing glances, you could practically see the hearts in there eyes. It was absolutely adorable.

Realizing that this wouldn't stop for a while I decide to take it upon myself to become the referee. I whisper-yell at my two friends so I wouldn't wake Troye. One reason because he looked so peaceful while at rest, like nothing could hurt his fragile form. The second reason being because he was terribly grumpy when awoken not at his own terms.

"Here's the deal, when we see the next license plate that is not from California, we will exit the freeway and go get food." They both silently agreed, all of our eyes searching for anything other then a California resident.

"NEVADA!" Alfie squealed with excitement, pointing excessively at a shinny red pick up truck that couldn't be more then one month old.

Zoe sighed at her defeat and allowed him to take the next exit off the freeway, we drove for a minute or so till I spotted a Chipotle which was conveniently placed next to a Target.

We could eat then go shopping for groceries seeing that Troye and I would be living alone for a little while.

After we parked, I stretched out legs, grabbed my wallet and phone before I woke 'sleeping beauty'.

"Troye..." I nudged his shoulder, hoping this would be a easy mission. "Troye, get up."

"Connah?" His cute accent highly evident. He nuzzeled his head further into my neck. He's so cute.

Connor. Don't.

"Troye boy, let's go." I shook the thoughts out of my head.

He stayed laying there, refusing to move. Knowing one way to bribe him, I smirked before I stated, "I guess I won't be getting that jar of Nutella for you."

His eyes instantly flew open, he unbuckled himself before jumping over me so he could hop out of the car and join 'Zalflie' outside.

//Troye's POV//

"Go to Target with Alfie, Zoe and I will meet you there." I smiled at Connor. Zoe and I were still not done with our burritos and Connor and Alfie were just watching us eat now.

"Are you sure?" He asked, a worried expression on his face.

"Con, nothing is gonna happen to him. Go!" Zoe dismissed the two with her hand.

"The queen has spoken. Let's go." Alfie cackled. I looked at Connor who was trying to stiffle a laugh because I once admitted to him that Alfie's laugh terrified me.

As soon as the door shut behind them, Zoe turned to me with a smirk. "So..."

I sigh knowing I should have made Connor stay.

"When are you going to tell him?" She took a bite into her burrito, then placing her chin on her hand, waiting for my answer.

Deciding to play dumb I put on my acting skills and replied, "Tell who what?"

"Oh shut up Troye. We've discussed this. When are you going to tell Connor that you are gay?" She always got straight to the point didn't she?

"I- I'm not, I'm not ready yet." I scratched the back of my neck, feeling very uncomfortable. Zoe and Alfie were the only people who knew I was gay because they once caught me looking at a group of shirtless boys running- Connor was at the front of the group- and they called me out on it.

"I'm not trying to push you out of the closet but you know Connor wouldn't judge you, he is flat out homosexual, Troye." She had continued to list reasons for why I should tell him but I had stopped listening. Only thinking about all the bad things that could happen if I did come out.

"Troye!" She snapped her fingers in front of my face. Expecting me to answer whatever question she had thrown at me seconds ago.

"Zoe you know the real reason I can't tell him. Like you said, we have discussed this." I stand, taking both of our trash into the waste bin.

"Just because his name gives you a boner, doesn't mean you can't tell him that you like penis in general." I launched the water I was sipping on all over her, coughing loudly, many eyes traveled to look at me as I continued to choke.

"Zoe!" I had never heard Zoe speak like that, and I wasn't sure if I liked the change or not.

She acted innocent as she carefully wiped all the water off her face, not messing up her make up.

Yes I had a crush on Connor. Like a huge one. But I'm pretty sure he liked this other guy whos name is Joey, he's older, funnier, smarter, and definitely more attractive then me so I would never have a chance.

Never mind the fact that he didn't even know I was gay at all.

But...

Connor was gay himself, I know he wouldn't hate me. But I think I'll just keep the fact that I'm nearly in love with him a secret for a little while longer.
