TOO GOOD ━ SUGG. ✓

chapter thirty-five

"When did Troye land?"

"He told me that his plane landed while we were parking," I said, looking around for the Australian in the crowded airport. It was already the end of March and Troye decided to come to London early, just so he could be with all of us before the UK leg of his tour started. Zoë, Alfie and I were waiting in the airport for him, which wasn't the best place for a girl with crutches but when it came to Troye, I would do anything for that kid.

Moving to Australia, however, was still something that I didn't quite know about.

I tried to persuade Joe and Caspar to come along but the both of them were busy with meetings for a 'secret project'. What the project was about, I didn't know.

"How's everything with Joe?" Alfie asked me quietly, looking at Zoë before setting his gaze at me.

"Things are good but I still haven't told him."

"Alyssa-"

"I know, I know. I was planning to actually tell him today but-"

"He's not here."

"Yeah..."

"You could always call him," he said, putting it out there. I nodded quickly before searching through the crowd.

"Look, there he is!" Zoë said from beside me, pointing to a spot. I followed her finger and surely enough, saw Troye in the midst of the crowd. He was looking around for us, the brown curls on his head, bouncing up and down as he turned in circles.

"TROYE!" I yelled out, cupping my hands around my mouth to amplify my voice. His head whipped around and the two of us made eye contact. Immediately, he made his way over to us, his black suitcase trailing behind him and he dodged people and muttered apologies. As he approached us, Zoë and Alfie ran up to him and welcomed him while I stayed where I was, making sure that I didn't fall. I had my appointment in two weeks and I wasn't about to mess my leg up.

In a matter of seconds, I felt two arms wrap around me quickly, embracing me tight. I looked up and saw Troye looking at me, a wide smile on his face as he pulled me close.

"I missed you so much," he said, pulling away from me and looking me up and down. "How's that leg of yours?"

"It's way better than before. I actually have an appointment coming up in about two weeks."

"That's good, I'm glad to hear that."

"How was your flight?" Zoë asked as Alfie and her approached Troye and I.

"Eh, it was okay. I managed to sleep most of the way so if you guys had plans, I'm up for anything."

"Alfie and I actually have meetings to go to when we get back, but if you and Alyssa want to do something or go somewhere, feel free."

"I didn't know that you two had meetings too!"

"I kind of forget about them until now," Zoë said sheepishly before smiling. "But I want you two to go have fun!"

"Well if you say so," Troye said from beside me before grabbing his suitcase and proceeding to walk towards the exit. When he finally noticed that no one was following him, he turned around and put his hands up in the air dramatically. "Are you guys coming or not?"

"Easy there, Troye. We're coming," I said, before making my over to the excited Australian. As soon as he saw that I was coming, he walking through the sliding doors and into the warm afternoon, a smile on his face as a gust of wind hit his face.
