Chapter 24

Connor's POV

The car ride was silent, neither of us wanting to break the comfortable silence. The rain was still pouring, pattering down onto the roof of the car. The radio could be heard faintly in the background, some music I had never heard before. As we pulled up I started to get nervous, about how I was going to tell Troye Zoe new. I knew he was going to be mad at me for telling her without asking him first, but I didn't really have a choice. I nervously got out of the car, a lump forming in my throat. I unlocked the door and stepped inside, enjoying the warmth of the apartment.

"Tro?" I called out as I took my coat off. No reply. "Troye?" I called out again. Still no answer. I looked in the bedroom, he wasn't there. I looked in the kitchen, he wasn't there. But that's when I noticed a note pinned to the fridge. I pulled it off and furrowed my eyebrows as I read...

Hey Connie,

I'm really sorry but, I've gone to Tyler's. I just couldn't handle the fact he is doing this to us... to you. So I've finally had enough, I'm not putting up with it anymore. Don't worry I won't do anything stupid, I just want to talk to him.

I love you, Troye boy xxx

"Oh no." I say out loud as I place the note on the counter. I hear Zoe walk up behind me and read the note. She raised her eyebrows and looked at me worriedly.

"What should we do?" She asked, a scared look still plastered on her face.

"We have to go stop him." I said blankly. I grabbed my coat and felt glad I hadn't taken my shoes off. Zoe followed hastily, throwing her coat on as she went. We raced out the door and jumped into the car as fast as we could. We had to stop him, I knew what he was like, he would end up doing something stupid. And I didn't want him to do that. As Zoe started the car I began to panic, different scenarios running around in my head. What if he did do something stupid before we could get there? I shook my head and tried not to think about it. I stared out of the window, trying to block out the thoughts.

"Con, don't worry, everything will be fine. Troye won't do anything, I promise." Zoe said from the driver's seat, glancing over to me. Forcing a fake smile and a nod I continued to stare mindlessly out of the window. I guess I kind of knew he wouldn't do anything, but I still worried. Troye could get defensive some times. Normally it was cute how he stood up for people he loved but sometimes it got out of hand, and I was afraid this was going to be one of those times. Would Troye really go that far this time? I really hoped not.
