"I'm taking Troye on a date tonight, where should we go" Tyler asked Zoe, Korey & I.

Troye was in the other room sleeping.

I should be the one to take Troye on dates! Not Tyler.

I'm usually not the jealous type but when it came to Tyler being alone with Troye, that's a whole different story.

"there's a cute cafe down the street," Korey whispered "I tried their food last night, it's actually really good. And everything in it was so well put together, it's perfect for your guy's date"

I stared at Zoe, signalling her that I was ready to cry.

Zoe always knew I was gay, and that I liked Troye... a lot.
She always knew how to cheer me up with Tyler was with Troye, or when I was getting jealous and ready to punch someone. Zoe just knows when I'm not myself, she knows how to be there for me.

"Korey, how about you go show Tyler the cafe. Or Tyler could go taste the food there to see if he likes it enough to bring Troye there" Zoe insisted.

"Perfect idea, Zoe. Want to Korey?" Tyler said
"Sure let me just grab my coat and we can go" Korey replied

Soon the two left and I just couldn't help but cry.

"I'm sorry, Connor" Zoe said bringing me into a hug.

the type of warm hugs you get from mom when you come home to visit for the holidays, or in my case when you're needing comforting.

"It's okay Zoe. Maybe Troye does belong with Tyler and not me" I sobbed into the hug we were sharing.

"What's wrong, Connah?" A voice spoke

Shit.

Zoe and I pull away from our hug to face Troye. Zoe gave me a look of 'oh shit did he just hear all that?'

"It's nothing" I lied

"Is everything ok? Where's Tylah"

Of course.
Why don't you go search for your boyfriend, Troye
I thought.

"Tyler went out for a bit, with Korey,"
Zoe said
"And Connor just found out someone in his family passed"

I gave Zoe the 'wtf Zoe!?' Look.
She winked at me, telling me to go along with it.

"Oh my gosh, Connah. I'm so sorry" Troye said pulling me into a hug

I could just melt from his soft touch.

But he doesn't belong to me..
he belongs with Tyler.

"It's okay, I'm okay" I lied again

Truth is,
I'm not ok.
I will never be ok if Troye is with Tyler.

*that night*

"See you love birds soon" Korey said waving to Troyler, who was leaving for their date.

"I'm gonna get some rest ok" Korey said picking up his blanket from the couch and walking down the hall.

"Night Kor" Zoe smiled, waving to him as he left the room.

Here come the water works.

"Connor," Zoe said pulling me into another warm hug.
"Don't cry" She said soothingly.

"Why, Zoe? That should be me bringing Troye on dates, that should be me holding his hand. That should be me giving him cute nicknames,"
I whisper yelled
"That should be me cuddling him at night, playing with his hair, kiss his cheeks 24/7"
