Troyler- A Real Story

Chapter 29. ~Early Goodbyes~

Troye's POV

*Two days later*

I leave for America tomorrow. The excitement rushes through me as I wait in my car for Elizabeth; I invited her out for lunch today so I say goodbye today. I watch her house and see her finally run through the door. She gets in my car and looks at me.

"Hi," She says.

"Hey gurl, how are you?" I ask, smiling at her, making her blush and feel uncomfortable: I laugh. "I'm joking, hi Elizabeth." She nods. "Honestly though, how are you today?" I start driving.

"I'm alright..." She answers, trailing off. I glance over to her and notice her playing with her sleeves, pulling them down and covering her hands completly.

"Elizabeth, you didn't...cut did you?" I ask, staring straight ahead and hoping she says no.

"I-I um, I'm sorry." She hangs her head when I look at her. "It was just so hard not to."

"It's okay," I reply, but in my head all I can think of is how bad it is. The fact that I can't even help her stop, how bad of a job I'm doing. "I'm sorry too."

"Why are you sorry?" She asks, looking up at me. I turn a corner and pull over near some trees.

"I need to show you something and you have to promise me you won't tell anyone else, okay?" I ask, sadly I already know she has no one to tell anyway.

"I promise I won't," she says, staring at me. I pull up my sleeves and show her my cuts from two yesterday and the scars from every other time. "Troye," she gasps, taking my arms into her hands and looking at the scars and cuts.

"I should've told you sooner; shown you I know exactly what you're going through but....I couldn't." I say, looking down in shame.

"Troye, it's okay." She looks up at me with a tiny smile and then inspects my arms again. "How..um..new are these?" She asks, pointing to my most recent ones.

"I did them two days ago," I answer, looking down again, tears in my eyes as I remember why.

*Flashback*

I woke up from one of the worst nightmares and decided to go on Tumblr for a while; it had been fine and all normal until the hate flooded on the screen, making the nightmare appear in my head. I went on Twitter to try and escape but there was more hate posts and edits, a lot about Tyler and I. It hurt me badly and I couldn't take it.

*End of flashback*

"Oh, it's okay Troye!" She wraps her arms around me and at first it shocks me that she's actually the one to be confident, until I realize it's because I'm crying.

"I'm sorry, I don't mean to be such a mess! Usually I'm not like this," I lie, pulling away from her embrace ever though it felt so safe and comforting.

"It's fine, Troye." She says, looking at me with her beautiful, hazel eyes.

"Elizabeth...can I ask you a weird question?" I ask, sounding really awkward. She nods and looks at me questioningly. "Would you date a younger guy?" I rush out, looking away immediately after asking.

"Uhh..I don't know, I guess." She answers, not sounding as freaked out by the question as I'd thought she would. "I think my age limit would be one and a half years younger."

"Okay, we should go now before I starve to death." I quickly change the subject before driving away.

We drive to the cafe in silence and when we get there it's a while before we finally take again.

"Elizabeth, I need to tell you something...." I trail off, worried to what she might say about me leaving.

"Okay, so tell me," she says, looking up across from me. I smile to myself realizing how confident she is to speak around me and hardly stuttering anymore.

"Well, I'm going to California tomorrow." I blurt out, not wanting to tell her but knowing I have to. I look at her; her face drops and the sparkle in her eyes disappear. "I'm sorry, I just can't stand being away from Tyler for much longer. I keep relapsing and it doesn't help with trying to stop." I explain, hoping to make her understand it's not to get away from her.

"Oh, how long are you staying there?" She asks, failing to hide the sadness and fear from her voice.

"I'm not sure yet but hopefully not too long, I wouldn't want you to be alone," I say, trying so hard to read her expressionless face at the moment.

"Don't worry though, I'm going to make sure that Sage and Tyde are here for you, okay? I would never leave you alone." I tell her, smiling at the end for a second before she nods and the waitress arrives with our food.

We eat our food and then decide to go to back to my house for a bit so we can hang out before I leave tomorrow. I seriously cannot believe how easily she took me leaving.

When we arrive at my house we walk in and head straight for my room but are stopped by a curious Tyde.

"Is this the amazing Elizabeth that you and Tyler have been talking about so much?" He asks, smiling between us.

"I'm an Elizabeth, but probably a different one," Elizabeth says, playing with her sleeves again.

"I've only got one friend named Elizabeth," I say, smiling at her; she blushes slightly and looks up, showing light in her eyes again.

"It's a pleasure meeting you," Tyde says, acting way too polite

*Two hours later*

An hour ago I left Tyde and Elizabeth to play video games while I packed and now I can't get them to stop. I sit in my room waiting boredly.

Finally Elizabeth walks in, smiling and a blush still on her face. I knew they'd get along.

"How was your flirty game?" I ask, winking at her. She blushes more and shakes her head. "What? When I walked in to get you, I saw you two flirting." I wink again and laugh.

"Whatever.... I need to go home." She says.

"Oh, okay. Well.." I trail off and think of what to say. "I guess I'll see you when I see you? Remember that you can Skype me, text me, call me, anything, whenever you want. You're one of my best friends and I love you so much." I wrap my hugs around her and she wraps hers around me.

"I love you too, Troye." She says and I feel warmth years star soaking into my top. "In sorry." She mumbles out with be part from the hug.

"It's okay," I say, wiping away the tears and then kissing her forehead. "Stay strong and don't forget that you're perfect. And remember you can always come and talk to Sage or Tyde. Sage knows that you cut, remember, so she can help." I explain as we walk through the house. When we get outside, there's a car waiting for her; her brother I'm assuming. "Goodbye Elizabeth. I love you."

"Goodbye Troye, I love you too." She says, tears falling down her cheek. I hug her once more before she gets in the car and drives off. Oh how I'll miss that wonderful girl.
