In real life

The truth

We walked together in silence. I didn´t tell Troye why I had been crying and he didn´t ask either. He just walked beside me and gave be a comforting smile whenever I looked at him. It felt good.

After a couple of minutes Troye stopped. "So, this is my place", he said. I nodded. "I guess I should be going then." Troye hesitated and then looked like he made a decision. "You could come with me if you like?" he said. " We could watch a movie or something." I smiled. "I would love that." He smiled back. "A movie it is!"

We crossed the street and started to walk towards his house. As we got closer I realised that this was the house I had been looking at this morning. The white house with the bikes on the lawn. I had been standing outside this house and looking at it like some sort of secret agent, and it was Troyes house! I felt myself blush. God this was embarrassing. Good thing that nobody had seen me do it. Then I realized that somebody had. The boy by the window, the one that I had thought was Tyde. That must have been Tyde, which meant that he knew. Troyes little brother knew. I felt myself turn a darker shade of pink.

When we got to the front door Troye found the key in his pocket and unlocked the door. "I´m home!" he shouted as we entered the house together. "Do you think anybody is home?" I asked while I slipped out of my vans. At home I never took of my shoes but I had seen Troye do it so I figured I would do the same. "I don´t know", Troye said. "But hey, you must be hungry. Wanna grab something to eat?" "Sure", I said and we started to walk towards the kitchen. We never got that far.

"Hello cupcakes!" someone shouted as he jumped up in front of us. Both me and Troye screamed and the boy started to laugh. "Tyde!", I screamed. "You scared the shit out of us!" The boy frowned and looked at me. "Tyde?" he asked. "Yeah that´s your name, isn´t it?" Tyde nodded. "How did you know that?" Troye asked. I opened my mouth to answer when it occurred to me. Shit. I wasn´t supposed to know Tydes name. Troye hadn´t talked to me about his family. I had to make something up. Quickly.

"I think you mentioned him earlier", I said with a smile. Troye nodded. "Yeah, I probably did." Just by looking at him I could se that he wasn´t convinced.

When Tyde had gone back to his room Troye opened the fridge. "What do you want to eat?" he asked. I hesitated. "Do you want the oh I´m so healthy so I will just have some yoghurt answer or the real answer?" Troye grinned. "The real answer." "Then I´ll have some nutella." Troye grinned even wider and took out a jar of nutella and to spoons. "Let´s go", he said and we made our way to his room.

We sat on Troyes bed eating nutella with his laptop open in front of us. "What do you want to watch?" I asked and dipped my spoon in the jar. "How about Frozen?" he said. "It´s a nice movie when you just want relax." "I´ve actually never watched that movie", I said. Toyes jaw dropped. "We are watching Frozen!" he said and started tapping frantically on his keyboard. I laughed. "What ever you say", I said and leaned back against the pillows.

We had a really great time watching Frozen. It was nice to spend time with Troye and the movie really was amazing. 

"That was fun!" I said when the movie ended. "Yeah!" Troy said. "That movie is my favourite." I smiled. "I know", I said. Troye looked at me. "How?" Oh no, I thought, here we go again. I wasn´t supposed to know that either. How could I be so stupid! I just wanted to slap myself in the face. Stupid stupid stupid. Okay, think, I told myself. Make something up. I was just about to open my mouth when I realized that couldn´t keep doing this. I couldn´t lie to Troye anymore. If I really wanted to be his friend I had to tell him. It didn´t matter that I might lose him, I had to do this.

I took a deep breath. "Okay, look. I didn´t want to tell you this cause I was afraid that you would think I was creepy and then leave me, but here´s the thing… I have known about you for a long time. A really long time. I have watched your YouTube videos for as long as I can remember and I have stalked you on pretty much every social media there is." I let out a nervous laugh. "The thing is that I feel like know you pretty well Troye, and I´m a big fan. There is literally no other way to put it. But I hope you understand that I´m not some crazy fangirl. Cause I´m not. And I´m not hanging out with you because you are the person I se on my laptop screen every night. I do it because I like you, the real you. And I hope you feel the same about me, and that we can be friends. Cause right now I think that you are the only real friend I have." 

I stopped and wiped the tears from my cheeks. I hadn´t even realized that I was crying. "Sorry for getting emotional, I should probably go now", I said and hurried to get of the bed. My cheeks were burning. I had just delivered the longest monolog known by mankind and cried in front of Troye for the second time to day. It was time to leave.

I run to the door and was just about to open it when I felt a hand on my shoulder. "Taylor", Troye whispered. He gently turned me around so I was facing him. "I have known you for less than 24 hours and I already think you are a great friend", he started. "You are the only one I have felt comfortable talking to except my family since I moved to this town. You are awesome and I´m not going to leave you. And I don´t care that you are a fan, it´s actually quit nice that you know about my YouTube career. It will be nice to have someone to talk to who knows how messed up my life is." The last sentence he said with a smile.

I had started to cry again, but this time it was tears of joy. He gently whipped the tears of my cheeks and said: "Now I suggest we eat some more nutella, what do you think?" I laughed. "Food is the only thing you can think about, isn´t it?" "Yes indeed", he said, dragging me a long to get some more of our favourite food in the world. I had never felt happier.
