The Story of Us: Troyler One Shots

Centuries

Tyler’s POV:

        One thousand eight hundred twenty six days, that is how many days Troye has been in a coma. I spent the bulk of those days beside him, but I had to take care of Nicole and Mei. I’ve told him twelve stories and made him listen to the new Fall Out Boy album, plus their new single. Those stories all happened, they aren’t individual stories out of random fanfics. They actually happened and are still happening.

        Our roller coaster began when I cheated on Troye with Hannah. Then, thanks to Connor and Ricky talking some sense into me, I realized I couldn’t let him go. So I chased after him and got him back. Then we spent a whole year together and I bought him an anniversary necklace. Troye then scared me by flying home alone and not answering his phone. Me being worried flew out to check on him, he had just dropped his phone in water. We then went sky diving back in California, that was the night I realized how much I truly loved him. That year for my birthday Troye got me Mei and we moved into a new loft together. After spending so much time with Troye, I knew that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him. So I proposed and he said yes. Unfortunately, that year Troye’s sister was murdered. That was the worst time in my life, because Troye struggled so much to move on. But, eventually he let her go and we still visit the valley every year. We also met up with some Smosh and met Audrina. That day was the day Troye admitted to me he wanted to have a kid. So that is how the idea to adopt Nicole came along. After a happy two years of being married and adopting Nicole, Troye was hit by a drunk driver. It has now been five years and he still hasn’t woken up, the doctors have given up.

        Earlier that day I had signed the papers for him to be taken off support in ten days. Troye had ten days to wake up or he will die.

        Day one through seven was normal, no signs of him waking up. But, on day eight I felt him squeeze my hand. Sadly nothing happened on day nine.

        Today is day ten, he now has eight hours to wake up. Nicole and Mei are with Monique back at our house. In case Troye did die, I didn’t want Nicole to see it. 

        “Come on Troye, please wake up,” I tell him as I watch the countdown clock. The nurses tried to convince me to eat, but I couldn’t. Troye had eight hours left, I was going to spend those hours with him, because they may be his last. 

        “Dang it Troye. Just open your eyes, I want to get lost in your eyes like old times and fall asleep with you beside me every night.” I sigh and look at the clock. Four hours.

        I turn on the television and watch it for a while to distract me, but it doesn’t. The clock now has only an one hour left on it. I crawl into the bed with him and cuddle into his side. Tears form and fall from my eyes, while I rub small circles on his body.

        “Troye, there isn’t much not said between us. I understand why you won’t open your eyes. It may be too hard, you may be already gone, or just can’t. But, I will remember you forever. I hope you remember me, Nicole, Mei, your family, and all your friends. Cause we will never forget you. I will never forget these last eight years with you. They were the best years of my life, cause you were in them. Words can’t begin to describe how much I’m going to miss you.” I close my eyes and just cry into his chest that slowly rises from his shallow breathing. 

        The door opens and I let out a sob, cause I know it is time. Time for me to lose my best friend and husband. The clock now has two minutes left. Two nurses come in and start preparing to do their job.

        “I love you,” I tell him for the last time and hold onto his hand for dear life. I watch the clock hit zero and lay my head down on top of his hand unable to watch them kill the love of my life.

        “I’m sorry,” the nurse tells me before starting to unplug everything.

        “I love you, too.” I barely hear it, but it is there. I barely fill him squeeze my hand back, but he did. 

          “Troye?” I look up at him and see his eyes open to reveal those blue eyes I love so much.
