Save Me (Troyler) (ON HOLD)

Chapter 14~Numb Betrayal

After re-reading my own story (yes I did that) I realized that everything is a bit unclear. So here's a summary of what happened in the last 13 chapters: Troye went to see an event to celebrate the win of North Korea, and it got attacked. In the attack, his boyfriend got killed and he was arrested. In prison, he made a lot of new friends, and one of them is Tyler, who helped everyone escape to come and join his rebel-group Invictus. Once they escaped, Troye wanted to save his family and friends. Then he discovered that the main villain, Tyler's dad, had kidnapped his best friend, Kayla. At Kayla's house, Tyler and Troye both got shot. In the hospital, Tyler and Troye realized they have feelings for each other and end up in a relationship. Then Troye gets released. Voilà. 

Now a little time skip (couple of days), Tyler is alright again and healed and now Troye wants to go and get Kayla. Enjoy!

When one morning, I heard a knock on my door and when I opened Tyler stood in front of me, alive and well, I was so relieved. I was so joyful, so ecstatic almost. I was so glad he was okay and he didn't have to suffer any more from the wound on his back. I think I almost reopened the wound by hugging him so tight he lost his breath. 

But those couple of days without Tyler had me thinking. About us, but mostly about Kayla, my best friend. I didn't want to think about what the kindest girl in the entire world had to go through at this very moment. All I knew is that she is somewhere in the Presidential Palace. I don't know where she is exactly, hell, I don't even know if she is alive. I pray to Taengoo that she is alive. I have already lost my ex-lover, I don't think I could go through the emotion of seeing my best friend drop dead. 

My thinking resulted in me wanting her back. I want her back. And I am going to tell Tyler exactly that.

I crawl out of my bed, leaving the warm and comfortable space where I had spent the last couple of days. I try on an outfit I had brought from home, and fix my hair a little. I need to look cute when I leave my room, right? I leave my room, and go on my way to the lounge room, where I know Tyler is sharing a drink with Mamrie.

I enter the lounge, and I immediately spot the two troublemakers at the bar. Mamrie's contagious laugh, or roar, whichever you prefer, was loudly echoed everywhere. I collect all of my courage and approach them. 

"Tyler?" I faintly ask. "Yes? Oh! Hey nugget!" His face lights up when he sees my face, and I am greeted with peck on my lips. We have come out to everyone already. The day Tilly was released from the hospital, we told everyone we were dating at dinner. The whole lot of people just started cheering. It's awesome to know that everyone is supportive. That memory brightens my mood just a little, but I still feel worried and sad. His smile drops as he reads the emotion on my face. "What's wrong?"

"I... I miss Kayla. I haven't seen her in over a month and she is trapped and I just miss her, I want her back.." With every word I say, my eyes become heavier and heavier and I can't hold the tears stinging in my eyes back any more. I do realize I sound like a 5 year old, but I'm only 19 and I am really sensitive. 

"Hey hey, it's alright." He hugs me and comforts me by rubbing my back. While resting my chin on his shoulder, I look at Mamrie, who's mood has dropped as well. Tilly releases me from our embrace and looks me deep in my eyes with his blue orbs. "We will get her, but right now is too soon. They expect to come and get her now. They are waiting for us. If we go now, we will all be killed, and we can use every man and woman we have right now. And we also still have to figure out a plan on how we will break in. It's not as easy as it sounds. But we will get her, I promise."

I wipe the pathetic tears out of my eyes, and nod with a slightly forced smile. "Yeah, it's okay. I am just having a lack of sleep and I think it was all a little too much for me now. I'm sorry." He rubs my arm comfortingly and smiles. "Hey, don't be sorry. You can't help it. Now, go back to bed and get some rest. Remember that I love you, okay?"
