Why Not? -Troyler AU

Chapter Ten: Robbery

*Tyler's POV*

The days between class are the hardest. I mean, they kind of always have been, but recently they have gotten worse. I love being around people. Don't get me wrong, I love my alone time, but I like making people happy even more. During class I can always find a witty comment to say to make people laugh, but at home, there's no one.

So I called the one person I knew would come over no matter what, Korey. Korey Kuhl had been my best friend for why seems like forever, and there's never a time when I call him and he doesn't come to my rescue.

Korey got to my house at about 11am, I know what you're thinking, 'woah Tyler, how are you awake right that early?' Honestly, I have no idea. I just couldn't sleep.. but anyway, Korey got to my apartment right on time and I immediately embraced him in a hug. See, Korey lives close, but since I started acting class we barely see each other, so when he does come over, its kind of amazing.

We sat and caught up for hours. I told him all about the movie, and how great it was. I told him about all my friends from the group, which he's heard hundreds of stories about in the past. Then, I spilled my heart out about Troye. I told him all about how I was super confused about the whole situation. I liked him, but maybe he didn't like me. Maybe he did. Maybe we weren't even as close as I though. Maybe we were closer.

As I finished being all sappy, I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket. As I looked down at the screen I saw Troye's face pop up indicating he was calling me.

"Hello, Mr. Mellet." I answered cheerfully.

"Hey, um.. Ty, can I come over?" he sounded distressed.

"Yeah. What's wrong?" But he had hung up before I finished.

Soon, Troye was knocking hard on my front door. As I answered I the door I noticed Troye seemed very sweaty, like he had ran here. I also noticed he had a bag with him. What in the world is going on here?

As soon as the door was fully opened I was hit with a heavy weight. It was Troye. He had his arms wrapped around my chest in a right hug. I didn't break away, thiugh. He seemed he be craving this somehow, like I was a drug and he's been without me for far too long.

"As much as I don't mind this, I have to ask what's going on?" I questioned, rubbing Troye's back.

"I'm so scared, Tyler." He mumbled into my chest, barely audible.

"Why?" I held him tighter when I heard the sound of his voice. He didn't reply thiugh, he just looked up at me with tear filled eyes. "Come sit down." I said as I walked with him to the couch.

"So I woke up this morning and heard someone in my house. When I went to check I saw them run out of the house with a bag and I noticed they stole things from me, Tyler. Someone stole my stuff. It wasn't anything valuable, but it was my stuff!" He sort of started shouting toward the end, but I couldn't blame him.

"Oh my gosh. Troye! That's crazy. What can I do for you?"

"Umm hello.." Korey spoke up for the first time since Troye came in. I feel like I had forgotten he was here.

"Oh um.. Korey, this is Troye. Troye, this is Korey." I said, looking between the two.

As they exchanged an awkward hello, I finally realized how odd this was. See, me and Korey have never dated, but I can't say there's never been any feelings there and that nothing has ever happened. There's been times when we were both wasted and made out a little or something, but we've never done or been anything serious. Then there's Troye, my "crush" I suppose you could say. So obviously, this was awkward.

"Um Tyler, I was going to see if you wanted me to stay tonight." Korey stated.

"Yeah, of course." I said, smiling.

"Oh. Uh I think I should go. I'm sorry I troubled you. Nice meeting you Korey." Troye said nervously, walking toward the door.

"Troye. Stop. It's not like that. Korey had been my friend since middle school. Trust me. It's platonic. But I do have an idea. How about you stay here tonight too? I mean I don't think you should be home alone tonight anyway. We could have a slumber party." I said, breaking out into my signature cackle.

"Ha. Why not?" Troye chuckled back.
