Treat You Right (Troyler AU)

Chapter 14- Altering

Troye's POV

"Why the fuck are you kissing Troye?" Connor erupted from the hospital door. Tyler's grip on my hand got harder and soon became painful.

"Never mind that, how about you be happy that he's alive?" Tyler retaliated, releasing my hand and stood defensively by my side. Connor shifted his position and walked closer to Tyler, hovering a few inches away.

"How about you not kiss my boyfriend and stay away from us?" He growled, pushing past the now faded purple haired boy to me. "Troye what happened?" Connor choked, fidgeting with his hands. Internally I did feel guilty, a weird feeling towards him.

"He kissed me!" I pointed at Tyler who now had a fearful look on his features. "I didn't kiss back I swear!" Connor's eyes brightened and he placed a kiss on my cheek.

"I believe you Troye it's okay. Now Tyler on the other hand." He stood up and walked back next to Tyler.

"Are you kidding me? He's lying because he's scared of you Connor!"  Tyler remarked, grabbing Connor's wrist. He didn't take that well though. Connor threw his wrist away from Tyler and pushed him off.

"Hope off Oakley. He's not scared of me. Actually if there's anyone he should be afraid of it should be you." Tyler shook his head and looked at me, worry in his eyes. I shot my head down and looked at the I.V. in my arm. What would happen if I pulled it out?

"What have I done to make him scared of me?" Tyler fought back, crossing his arms against his chest. Connor leaned against my bed and tapped his chin in concentration.

"Well as I recall, you were the one driving when the crash happened." Tyler's face went pale and my heart skipped a beat. Flashbacks returned of the crash. Screaming and crushed bones. Blood dripping down my head and glass in my stomach. I shook my head and closed my eyes tightly.

"Don't you dare put that blame on me Connor I-"

"Oh Tyler shut up. You were driving and he was a passenger. It's nobody's fault except yours." A tear fell down Tyler's cheek and he uncrossed his arms, twirling his fingers. A long pause followed after and the three of us sat in silence.

"I never meant for him to-" Tyler squeaked.

"To almost die? Tyler I hope you realize when Troye was put in the ambulance he was dead. Want me to spell it out for you? D-E-A-D."

"Shut up! Both of you please. All I can think about is the crash and now everything's coming back to me and I don't want it I...." Tyler and Connor glanced over at me, both with sadness in their in eyes. Connor walked over and sat by my side again, grabbing my hand.

"Troye I'm so happy you're okay. I'm sorry I brought that up again. I love you."

"You what?"

"I love you?" He furrowed his eyebrows and scrunched them together, squeezing my hand.

"Connor before the crash did you ever say that to me?" I glanced at Tyler who was sitting in the visitors chair subtly crying, his hands up to his face.
