Stand By You (Troyler AU)

Proud (Mini Chapter)

-few days later-

Troye padded his bare feet across the hardwood floors of his apartment looking up at the clock on the stove that read 2am. Troye sighed as he pulled his re-reheated coffee out of the microwave and blew softly on the hot liquid. He crossed the living room again stoping to look at his reflection in the mirror, so clear that he was sleep deprived. He ran is free hand through his hair when he heard his phone vibrating from his bedroom. He smiled knowing that Tyler wasn't sleeping either so now they could talk. He smiled and picked up the phone

"Hey"

"omg Troye you picked up" Troye was shocked to hear the voice spill from the speakers

"Sage?" He said with a questioning tone

"yeah tok oh my god I can't believe you answered" Sage said excitedly through the phone

"Uh is everything...um..alright?"

"Yeah everything fine, I just miss you and...uhh...I don't know" She said softly

"I miss you too Angel" Troye said softly

"How's America?"

"Very American, strange and all...but I've been getting used to it. I like it here"

"Making lots of friends" She asked and Troye could imagine the smile on her face

"One, his name is Tyler. He's great" Troye said awkwardly

"Thats great Tro"

"Oh actually, Tyler is calling...can uh you let everyone know that things are great for me?" Troye asked wanting to get this weird conversation over with

"Of course, I uh...guess I'll talk to you some other time" Sage said softly

"yeah, thanks for calling Sageybaby"

"Love you Troye" said said softly

"Love you too, talk soon" Troye said ending the phone call

Troye looked down at the phone, the call came from a blocked number, meaning that Troye wouldn't be able to call back. Not that he wanted to, he was content in his life right now. He had someone to call his friend, he had a stable job, he had a place to live. Troye was okay, he didn't need his family, he was doing just fine without them. He didn't resent or hate them, they have just drifted apart and Troye was not going to let his parents stifle him from doing the shit that they've always been scared to do. Troye was making a life for himself. And for the first time in a long time Troye felt almost...proud. Yes, proud of himself for over coming his struggles, proud of himself for making a friend, proud of himself for not giving up.

All too often, non accepting parents can cause the self hatred downfalls that crush young people who are trying to figure out who they are and what they feel. Troye made a big decision to remove himself from the toxic situation and now he was beginning to flourish thanks to himself and Tyler. Tyler himself was struggling for reasons still partly unknown by Troye but still Troye was forever grateful for his best friend.
