Love Under Oath

Chapter 12

Troyes POV

As I come out of my shock I look around and see that I am in Connor's car, how I got here I don't know but I know if anyone can help me it's Connor. He helped me the first time so I know he can help me again.

I hear the door open and I turn to look at my boyfriend getting in the car. I say to him what am I doing here? Last I remember I was on patrol with Ricky. Connor nods his head and says Ricky called me and asked me to help you. So I raced to where you were and took you back to my place.

Now I will tell you the rest when we get home. I just need to go to the chemist first then we can go back to my place.

I say ok thanks babe.

We stop at the chemist and Connor goes into the chemist whilst I stay in the car.

We go back to Connors place and he sits me on the lounge while he gets lunch organised.

He brings it out and hands it to me along with a little pill. I take it as I trust him. I know he wont do anything to hurt me.

After lunch he tells me what happened and I know it was bad as he said I havent spoken since last night.

He also tells me that I have the next week off and he is taking me away somewhere I can relax more.

We got organised to go out again to my place to pack a bag.

We get there and I say babe my car is still at the station. I should really go and get it. Connor says where are your keys? I think for a bit and say must be in my locker at work. We need to go and get it. Connor says I don't want you going back there yet I will get Ricky to take it back to my place tomorrow. I nod my head and say thanks babe.

It's quiet for a while and he turns to me and says I had to tell Kian about us as well and I know he says he won't say anything but I don't really care if he does. I want the world to know that you are my boyfriend. Also get this Ricky and Kian are going out.

My jaw drops open and I say I knew there was something with them the other day

The rest of the night goes fast and just before we go to bed Connor rings his mum and I can hear her shrieking that she finally gets to meet me. I cant help the smile that comes to my face as I hear that.

The next morning we got up early to head to the airport to catch a plane to Minnesota where Connor is from. He moved to Los Angeles to start his career. I'm glad he did otherwise I would still be going through shock and PTSD. Not to mention single.

I used to be so lonely before I met Connor. Okay I had Ricky but being at work with him he can get a bit annoying. Not anymore. I have more friends after meeting Connor and I have a loving boyfriend who knows what I need.

After the flight to Minnesota we got off the plane and next thing I know Connor dropped my hand and ran into the arms of I think is his sister they have the same features.

Connor pulls away and grabs my hand and pulls me into his side and says Nicola this is Troye my beautiful boyfriend. I say hello and it's a pleasure to finally meet her. She said love your accent. Connor smiles and says Nic he is from Australia but born in south Africa.

I'm shocked when Nicola pulls me in for a hug. The only person I have hugged in months is Connor. I hugged her back before pulling away and grabbing Connors hand again feeling very shy all of a sudden.

Connor pulls me into his side and kisses the top of my head that relaxes me straight away.

Connor says let's grab our bags and go to the car. I think Troye is getting tired. He hasn't been well the past few days.

I smile at him and whisper thank you. He smiles and says come on babe lets get our things and go to the car. You can rest on the way home to my parents.

We get our bags and Connor wheels them both to the car as he knows I'm starting to close in on myself again.

We make it to the car and Connor grabs my hand and opens the back door and says come on babe you can have a bit of a rest and when we get to the house I will take you up to my old room.

After we get to his parents house Connor tells Nicola that I will be right back. 

He  got me into the room and he shut the door behind him and said ok babe can you tell me what's wrong. I look at him and say Con I don't know. I just feel out of sorts. I'm sorry babe maybe I'm just tired. I don't know.

He grabs my hand and says ok lets get you settled into bed and I will wake you when my parents get here. I might even join you after I have gotten our bags.

He led me over to the bed and pulled the covers down. I get into bed and I kiss his lips and say I love you. He says I love you too babe.

He walks out of the room and I pull my phone from my pocket and stare at the text message I got after I got off the plane.

It's from my aunt saying my grandparents had died.

You see, my grandparents raised me after my parents abandoned me after I was born.

I don't know how to tell Connor but I need to as I want to go to the funeral and I know I'm not strong enough to go by myself and I'm hoping Connor will come with me.

I must have fallen asleep as next thing I know I hear Connor say babe wake up.

I look at him groggily and mumble what.

He sits next to me and says what's this and when I look he is holding my phone.

I look down at my lap and say my parents abandoned me when I was born so my grandparents raised me. They died last night. I'm sorry I didn't know how to tell you and I only got the message after we got off the plane.

That's why I have been quiet. I want to go to the funeral but I know I'm not strong enough to go. Babe can you please come with me. Connor pulls me into his arms and says babe of course I will, but right now you need to have a shower. I look at him and say will you join me if I have a shower. The biggest smile comes to his face and says I don't see why not.

After a steamy shower that turned even steamerer we got out and got fresh clothes on just as someone calls Connor from downstairs. He looked at me and said let's go mum has dinner organised. I nod my head and say ok lets go.
