Lovesick. - Tronnor ✔️

5.

Troye's little brother was the one to wake us up, and well, everyone else. He blasted his beloved partymusic on the loudest volume so we could all have a morning energy boost. But the reaction wasn't as great as he'd expected. 

'TYDE TURN THAT OFF, IT'S 7 AM, HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND?' Laurelle shouted, her voice screeching as it was still the early hours of the morning. It stung in my ears. I rubbed my eyes and checked my phone, 30% left, and 2 days to go. I sighed, I didn't know how I was ever going to survive this. Then I heard a rather.. interesting.. sound coming from right next to me. 

'BWLEH' Troye sounded, I looked to the side, and oh, how I wish I didn't. Troye was bended forwards and he threw up all over the ground, you could see the Mcchicken nuggets in it. I felt a wave of nausea coming up by just looking at it. Luckily Troye didn't have long hair, so I didn't have to come close to him to hold it back. He looked so hopeless there. He couldn't help the fact he had morning sickness. Wait, what if he really was pregnant? I laughed in myself. God, I needed to stop being an asshole and help this boy, after last night I kind of owed him. 

Troye's face was as white as a sheet, he stared at me with those blue eyes of his. They were big, and as blue as the sky, but they were glazed. Like they couldn't actually process what they saw. The smell now started to reach my nostrils and I almost wanted to gag, I moved to the entrance of our tent. 

'I'll get your parents..' I said before I climbed outside and breathed in the fresh air. I walked over to his parents' tent, that was about 20 feet away from ours. I knew they weren't my biggest fans by now, but hopefully this made up for something. 

'Mr and Mrs Mellet?' I asked.

 'Yes' Shaun groaned, the zipper of the entrance was unzipped by a grumpy Shaun. Laurelle was in the back of the tent putting on deodorant. 

'Troye just threw up in our tent, he's not feeling very well' I stated, I was surprised how confident that sounded considering I stood in front of people I could just feel were thinking negatively about me. It's weird how we as humans can feel other people's thoughts but not actually read them, it's quite fascinating too. We feel each other but we don't read each other. Shaun looked at Laurelle 

'This one is on you' he sighed. Laurelle frowned,

 'I cleaned up last time.' She stated pointedly. Looking at her husband sharply, he knew he had to watch out. He sighed deeply. 

'okay' he said, 'But don't think he can skip hiking today, he needs to man up' 

'Shaun, don't make remarks like that. He has migraine'

 'Migraine can't be that bad, he's weak' Shaun stated harshly, spitting the last words out like he despised them. Like it was a shame to have a son who puked in the morning. And then he pushed me aside and walked past me to clean up our tent and help his son. Or well, I don't think he would be helping that much. I looked at Laurelle quizzically, I knew it wasn't my business but it was an automatic reaction.

 'I'm sorry for my husband' she said with a helpless look on her face. She couldn't really do more than that though. I nodded as I drew my lower lip between my teeth.

 'You know, I could stay back and take care of Troye, then both of you won't miss the hike' I proposed, batting my eyelashes as innocently as I could. I was praying she would say yes. If there was anything I wasn't in the mood for it was hiking with my family AND the Mellets. 

'Oh Connor, you don't have to do that..' 

'But I want to, I mean I have to make up for ruining last night and, don't tell my parents but I don't really like hiking anyway' I said with a wink. Laurelle smiled sweetly,

'Thanks Connor, I'd actually really appreciate that' she said as she layed her hand on my shoulder. I liked her, I really did. She was so sweet and caring, Troye was lucky.

Mom didn't really like the idea of me staying back as she probably thought I had some other motive and maybe I did, but come on, I had some sort of conscious and she had to have some faith in her son and she knew that. So, she let me stay. I entered our tent once again, Troye looked up surprised from behind his glasses, he had put them on again so I guess he really did need them.

 'Aren't you going with on the hike?' he said with a frown on his face. His face had gotten some of its color back. I shook my head, 

'No, I stayed back to take care of you' I explained casually. Troye frowned even more, a puzzled look covered his face.

 'But.. I thought you didn't like me' he uttered.

 'I don't it's just that I dislike hiking with my family even more'

 Troye tilted his head as he gazed past me, then he looked back at me. 'fair enough to be honest' he said with a grin. He wasn't hurt by what I said, he just accepted it as a fact, and maybe he also felt that it wasn't entirely true, anymore. I never hated him I just, didn't like him. But the fire between us seemed to be calming down, or vanishing. I wasn't sure if I liked it or not. After all, this still was the weird kid at school, I didn't even dare to think about some things kids might say behind my back when they saw I was friends with him. Was I though? I shouldn't care what other people think, but that's harder than it seems. Much and much harder.

 'Have you had breakfast yet?' I asked him. He looked up surprised, he stared at me weirdly as he processed that I really just asked him that.

 'uhm, no, but I'm not hungry thank you' he stated. I looked at him, his light blue shirt, that was probably a size small, fell loosely around his body, like it was an oversized shirt. His collar bones stuck out to me too, they were really visible.

 'Are you sure? My mom made pancakes this morning?' I tried, this boy needed to eat. 

'No, really I'm not hungry' he responded, getting quite annoyed. I crossed my arms, 

'Well I promised your mom I would take care of you, so you're gonna have some anyway' I said, looking at him pointedly, firmly like a mother. I would be such a good mom. Troye stared at me like he couldn't place me,

 'But.. '

 'No buts, I insist' I interrupted him.

 'There really is no escaping is there?' Troye asked helplessly, giving in to me being his mom for the day. I shook my head, 'No' I said with a smirk.
