'He had no idea', I thought to myself thinking about my phone call with Connor. I was leaving for America tomorrow, and I needed to do all of my laundry, repack, and just get ready for all of the flights that were ahead. I just had so much going on that it was unbelievable. I was recording for an album. Ever since TRXYE I'd known that I'd wanted to do this, but the only issue was bringing up the idea, and bringing it to life. Also, staying with Connor was a plus.
I did my laundry, packed, took a really long shower, and then texted Tyler asking for Connor's address. I felt like I shouldn't be as close to Tyler or as reliant on him any more since Connor was absolutely anti-Tyler at the moment. I then texted Tyler again telling him not to say anything about this to Connor because I wanted him to be surprised.
I'd planned out everything perfectly- well, sort of. I was going to arrive at the airport in LA and take a taxi back to Connor's house, surprising him. Hopefully traffic wouldn't be too bad. I was most excited to see Connor, even above the album. I hadn't told him yet, but I was his biggest fan. I was going to make this long distance relationship work, and nothing's gonna stop me from making it work.
Before I knew it, the day had flown by. It was only eight PM, but I decided to sleep, because I just wanted it to be the next day. I tucked myself into bed and thought about the next few days. Rolling around, I looked over at my phone that had just lit up. Tyler had texted me Connor's address, no questions asked. 'Maybe he really is starting to get over it.' I thought.
I woke up, or really just sat up. I hadn't slept at all last night, I was just so excited to leave Perth. I ran around the house and got all of my stuff together. My flight was at eleven forty five AM, and it was six twenty seven, so I was making pretty good time. I had planned for a taxi to come get me already, so it was going to be at my house at seven thirty.
Seven thirty came really fast, and I was already in the taxi. I said goodbye to my family the night before because I explained that I was leaving early in the morning and I didn't want to disturb them by waking them up. I hadn't told anyone in my family about Connor yet. I'm pretty sure Sage was onto the whole relationship thing because after I hung the phone with Connor, she came into my room and asked if "Tronnor was real". So many of the comments on Connor's coming out video were just "TRONNOR" which I'm not gonna lie, made me quite happy.
The next few days were stressful. I couldn't talk to Connor because he would know I was on my way to America if I did. I'd just been telling him that I was really busy and texted him while I waited at gates for connective flights.
I was waiting at the gate about to board my next flight from London to Texas upon hearing my phone beep. It was a text from Connor. "Troye, is everything alright?"
"Yeah, why do u ask?"
"Idk."
"?"
"Well it just feels like you've kinda been avoiding talking to me......? You've been declining my calls......... like idk maybe I'm just being paranoid."
"Sorry, I've just been really bust."
I re-read my text. 'Shit.'
"*BUSY"
"Lol"
"Yeah but I've just had a lot going on with the album and stuff u know"
"Oh okay yeah sorry"
"No no it's fine, I promise I'm not avoiding u or anything."
"Lol k"
"Alright well I actually gtg rn so I'll call u when I can okay?"
"Okay"
"Alright, bye Con"
"Bye Troye Boi"
'Dammit', I thought to myself, 'he thinks I'm avoiding him.' I face palmed. 'If only you knew Connor,' I sighed, 'I'm doing this all for you' I looked away from my phone and stared up at the ceiling rubbing my eyes. 'I just want to be with you.'
