Falling for you - tronnor

Chapter 25

Joeys pov

I threw my sopping wet clothes onto Connors floor. I felt rather awkward taking a shower at his house, me and Connor were friends but we weren't exactly close anymore, especially after that night.

*flashback*

"Connor I..." my hands were shaking in my lap, Connor saw this taking my hands into his, offering his warm touch. His thumb brushed over my skin, electrifying me.

"You can tell me anything Joey, I love you no matter what." His calming voice filled my ears. I had to do this. I couldn't keep my secret anymore.

"Connor I'm, I... I think... no I know that well... I'm..." my throat locked up, not allowing the venomous words to leave my body. Connors eyes glistened slightly with a tear that was forming. He gave me an encouraging nod. "I'm gay" I finally spat out. I breathed a sigh of relief as Connor pulled me into a tight hug. "I love you" he whispered into my ear. Our hug was disrupted by Connors arms pushing me away so I would face him. I leaned in slowly. Approaching his plump lips. Our lips touched, gently, romantically. Connor immediately got up and starred down at me with confusion and anger.

"What the hell was that about?" Connor said slightly hurt by our encounter. Connor wasn't out to me yet but I accidentally came across his journal and it was open on one page, titled "the life of a closeted gay boy". I realized I hadn't said anything and I was just staring at the boy above me.

"Sorry it was just a little spur of the moment thing, I'm sorry Connor" I said getting up to face him again. His face wasn't washed with anger, but fear.

"I think you should leave, I'm not mad, I just need some time to figure out what just happened." I nodded and just walked out grabbing my keys and flooring it out of Connors drive way.

After that Connor and I drifted apart, we just weren't the same anymore, he said he forgave me but nothing ever changed.

I let the hot water cascade over my head, warming me to the bone. I heard some my king coming from outside but I couldn't make out the voice. I guess it was ricky or someone. It would be nice to catch up with Ricky.

I stepped out of the shower and dried myself off. I picked up some pants and a top from Connors draws, I hope he wouldn't mind. He never did previously.

The voices had turned into muffled moans now, making now sense to me. I walked my way down the hallway and into the living room to see Tyler sucking on Connors neck.

"What the fuck" I said loudly. I didn't care that I had caught them in the act. I cared because Connor was cheating on Troye. They both looked round at me, Tyler's face red as can be and Connors a little lost. Almost drunk. "Connor what the actual fuck. Your boyfriend is in fucking hospital and you're already moving on?!" I shouted this time. Connor simply moaned a few inaudible words, then I spotted it.

The wine bottle.

I snatched it from the table looking over at Tyler now. "How much has he drunk?" I said quickly. Tyler's face dropped.

"All of it."

"Connor you know alcohol doesn't mix with your medication, how many times do we have to tell you this." I said slapping his face a little to get his attention. His eyes glanced past me. I saw his chest lift. He jumped up from the coach running into the other room, the sound of vomit hitting the toilet filled his house as me and Tyler just watched each other.

"I'm sorry" Tyler said quietly.

"It's not me who you need to apologize to" I said rushing after Connor. His body was slumped over the toilet bowl. I went over and knelt by his side rubbing his back.

"Ive fucked it all up" Connor said realizing what his actions meant.

"Troye needs to know. He deserves to know" I said truthfully. Troye did need to know, I couldn't keep this secret for them, they had essentially cheated.

"He might not even pull through" Connor spluttered through his tears. I shoved his shoulder slightly.

"Shut up Connor, Troye will pull through, he's gonna be just fine, I promise." I said rubbing circles into the small of his back.

"He's gonna hate me. I can't tell him." He said hysterically crying now. I had known for a while now that Connor was an emotional drunk but he had never been this upset, I saw the true pain that he was trying to hard to hide.

"If you don't tell him, I will have to" I said bluntly. Troye had every right to know about this. It couldn't be kept a secret.

"Ok I'll tell him when we get to see him." Connor said before another stream of vomit came rushing into the toilet; the smell of it burning the inside of my nose.

Tyler appeared in the doorway, his face blank, no tears.
"Troye is out of surgery, he's waking up now, we have to go now if we want to see him." I nodded back at him.

"Oh fuck" Connor said at the realization of what would unfold.

I was scared myself. Terrified
