Echo. 

The gun shot echoed through his head as he sat in the waiting room in the hospital. Could this be it? Could the last memory of Connor be something a simple as a kiss? He didn't know and didn't want to find out. 

"Troye?" A voice had said. 

Troye instantly thought it was a doctor telling him that they couldn't save Connor and that he was dead, but was slightly happy to see that it was Alexis with Katie, he little gripping tightly onto her hand. 

"Y-yeah?" 

Alexis and Katie both had sat down next to him and Alexis gripped his hand tightly. "Connor is a strong boy, he'll make it through I promise." She said with nothing but sincerity dripping from her voice. 

"Tro?" Katie said walking over and sitting on the other side of him. 

"Yeah, munchkin?" Troye said resting his elbows on his knees.

"Here," She says handing him a white snow owl, it was Mr. Owl. 

"You're giving me Mr. Owl? But-but your mommy gave him to you, he's your favorite stuffie."

"Yeah but you're favorite person and... and I don't want to see Tro Tro sad... because Mr. Owl make people happy and... Mr. Owl doesn't like it when people... are sad." She then handed him the stuffed owl and kissed him on the tip of his noes. 

"Troye Mellet?" 

Troye looked up and saw a nurse standing in front of the door that held the rest of the patient. This could end either way for Connor right now and the thought made Troye sick to his stomach. He had a firm grip on Mr. Owl, he didn't hold him too since this was Katie's favorite stuffie and he doesn't treat stuffies like that. 

The three of them walked up to the nurse and Troye stood slightly in front and steadied his voice before speaking.

"Is Connor alright?" Troye said his voice cracking at the end, 'so much for trying to steady your voice 'Troye.' he thought. 

"Fortunately, yes. If the paramedics came any later we would not have been able to save him. He was shot in the stomach when the bullets went off. The other one grazed him so that was easy to patch up."

"Could we see him?" Alexis said. 

"I'm sorry bu-." The nurse had started before Troye quickly cut in.

"Please, right now we are all he has, are you really gonna deprive him of that?"

The nurse sighed. "Fine you can all see him, he just came out of surgery so he will have traces of the medicine we used before he was taking into the OR. He's the third door on your right. 

"Thank you." Alexis said.
