*Tyler's POV*
I was walking back to Zoe's house with the sandwiches I picked up for Troye and I. My legs were hurting from walking when I finally reached Zoe's door and opened it with the spare key she had given us.
"Troye?" I called from the hallway silently, so I wouldn't wake anyone since it was nearly 2am.
He didn't respond. "Maybe he fell asleep" I told myself. I opened the door to our guest room and that's when I saw him. I covered my mouth to keep me from screaming.
Troye was lying on the floor, half naked, unconscious, his nose was bleeding and his left eye was terribly bruised, as well as his cheeks and lips.
My body was filled with panic, what could have happened? Everyone else was asleep. Call me crazy, but Marcus was the first person that came to my mind when I saw Troye like that.
I dropped everything and dropped myself on the floor next to him, shaking him lightly.
"Troye? Please say something" I said, a tear escaping my eye.
"Troye please talk to me!" I continued.
He opened his eyes slowly and then all at once.
"Tyler!" He whispered and hugged me.
"Baby please tell me who did this to you? What happened?" I was still crying.
"He r-raped me..." He murmured, terror in his voice.
"Who?!"
"Ma-Marcus..." He said. As soon as his lips pronounced that name, every single feeling inside me turned to anger.
"I fucking knew it!" I think I may have raised my voice a little, because Troye covered my lips gesturing me to be quieter.
"Come with me" I helped him get up and walked him to the bathroom. I grabbed a tissue and cleaned up the blood on his face carefully, then I rubbed medical lotion on every bruise and wound on his beautiful face.
I then helped him toget in his pj's and got him into bed with me, wrapping my arms around him.
"I swear when I see that son of a bitch I will-"
"No Tilly please, don't fight him. Just act like nothing happened." He said, worried.
"Why?! He deserves a lesson for what he did to you!"
"After he- after he knocked me I barely heard him say that..." He started sobbing into my chest. "That if you fought him he will... Kill you"
I chuckled. "That jerk isn't going to kill me, trust me."
"But still, Tilly. Please let's just pretend nothing happened, I don't want to lose you"
"Fine," I sighed. "We'll just tell Zoe you fell out of bed or something."
I must admit, I was totally lying. I wasn't going to let Marcus get away with what he had done to my boyfriend. I loved Troye more than anything in this world, and I need to show him that I'm not afraid to defend him from bad people. I will give that motherfucker a lesson, I don't know when or where, but I will. And Troye can never find out.
I ate my sandwich from Whole Foods and I understood the fact that Troye wasn't hungry after everything that had happened in so little time.
"Tyler?" Troye whispered.
"Yeah?"
"Can we please get out of here tomorrow? I'm scared of being near you-know-who" He told me.
"Of course, babe." I kissed his forehead. "We'll figure something out so Zoe doesn't take it the wrong way"
It was 3am and Troye was already asleep. I was stroking his hair and eventually got drowsy, I fell asleep wrapping my arms around the man of my life, the one I will love and protect no matter what.
Sorry if this one was a little boring but I thought I should let you guys know how Tyler felt about what happened, and also I thought I'd give you a little rest from all the violence and drama. Nonetheless, next chapter will be a shocking one as well.
Hope y'all liked it! Please vote and comment.
