Troye's POV

"Troye..." He trailed off, his voice cracking, making him sound like he was about to cry. It still didn't change the way I felt.

"What, what Tyler?" I sighed, somewhere in between mad and exhausted.

"That 'fag', that he beat up, it was me."

The hostility I felt instantly changed. "W-what?" I asked, not believing what he just said. Tears started forming in his eyes and I felt like utter crap.

"He uh, he wasn't really fond of me, one day his mom found him doing drugs and he somehow thinks I told her, so afterwards he beat me. This was back in like the 8th grade, so it wasn't all that serious. But once in the 9th grade, I got drunk and something came over me, and I hurt him right back. The fighting got more serious last year, because rumours went around saying I had a boyfriend and that's when he beat me up the second time, and called me the fag." He continued.

"I'm sorry, Tyler.. I didn't know." I apologised, although if I were him, I wouldn't forgive my insensitive ass.

"It's okay Troye, you didn't know, and I made a mistake getting drunk that night. It's in the past. I promise." He replied.

I didn't question if it was still going on..

"Tyler.. Promise me something?"

"Yeah?"

"If he ever touches you again, tell me. Okay?" I ordered him. I didn't want him to be hurting, and I especially don't want him to be hurting without me knowing when I could've potentially done something to help.

"Okay." He said, in almost a whisper. I felt awful. I looked at my phone and double checked the time.

"Shit, Ty, it's 5:32" I said. Were we really there for five hours?

"No wonder why I'm butt sore." He said, earning a chuckle from me, before continuing. "Wait.. Did you just call me 'Ty'?" Tyler smirked.

I could feel my cheeks getting hot under his gaze but I brushed it off thinking it was nothing. "I guess I did." I smiled and got off the swings and picked up my bag. Tyler did the same.

"Shit," Tyler said in the midst of looking up. I looked up aswell, to find a sky stained in grey and droplets of rain failing down. "Any chance you brought an umbrella?" He asked sheepishly.

"The one day I don't, I tell ya," I say, looking up at the sky. Whatever, a little bit of rain never affected me.

"Yay, a rain trip!" Tyler said, full of utter excitement. I could tell he definitely liked the rain.

I raised my eyebrow. "Rain trip?" I repeated.

"Rain trip! It's basically when you walk around in the rain without any umbrella or car or anything and having nowhere in particular to go to, or taking a detour." He answered, his eyes filled with excitement.

"But we have somewhere in particular to go, -- home." I corrected him.

"Well, we can always take a detour." Tyler winked and me and ran to the gate of the park as if he was a kid and yelled out "Race you!"

I smiled again for what felt like the hundredth time today for the first time in years. "Don't be ashamed of losing at your own game!" I winked back as I sprinted faster than him, despite his head start.
