Troye's POV

I bolt upright, adrenaline coursing through my body making me instantly awake. The blankets are wound around my legs constricting me and every time I moved they just got tighter like a Chinese finger trap yet more terrifying.

Multiple scenarios flashed through my mind, each more hair-brained than the last. We were either being burglarized or the zombie apocalypse was happening.

Struggling with the sheets for a few more moments I opted to for rolling off my bed and army-crawling to the door. The shouting intensified as inched closer. I could barely make out what they were saying as I pressed my ear to the door.

"PHIL WHAT ARE YOU DOING!" I can tell is Dan from his distinct accent.

Phil whimpered something that was too muffled to comprehend and before I knew it I could hear him sobbing. Awful ugly crying that never looks pretty when it's over. After five minutes of hysteric Phil's sniveling, I heard the water run and I knew Dan was cleaning the glass.

Feet patter across the hardwood floors and Mrs. Howell speaks in her clear cutting tone twisted with sleep.

"There's no need. I'll do it."

They shuffle around letting her in and being careful to avoid the wreckage, they slip through the doorframe.

"Oh and Phil?" She says. "If you ever need something, a place to stay, something to eat, to get away maybe, don't ever hesitate to come here? You understand? You will always be welcome I mean that."

That made me smile a large goofy grin and Phil's spluttering reply makes me let out a tiny giggle. I wheel away from the door until I'm staring up at the ceiling.

The initial excitement had worn down and now I was laying on the floor too tired to try and wrestle with the blankets.

Try as I might I just couldn't fall back into oblivion and the tiny knock at my door made me a little happier than it should. "Come in." I whisper hopefully loud enough for the person on the other side to hear.

The door creaks open and Tyler is standing there hair scrunched up and eyes rimmed red. He takes one glance at me, and rolls his eyes, and scoffed out, "I don't wanna know."

"Take a seat." I chuckle.

He tramps over to my bed and ungracefully plops himself down.

"Aren't you uncomfortable?"

"Not at all. Can I help you?"

"No I just wanted to see if you were awake or if you slept through all that."

"Well yes I am. Poor Phil, he's got it rough."

"Yeah no kidding."

I don't really remember what we talked about after that, everything just meshed together in one big memory hair-ball. Everything was just muddled as if I was drunk.

I vaguely remember him telling me about his YouTube channel, and I guess I recognized him because I spent the next half hour laughing about how all the fangirls would sell their souls to be in my position, and I spent it pinky promising him to show him my music.

But after sleeping twelve hours on the floor I regret not getting on the bed.

I don't think I would've woken up anytime soon if it weren't for Dan and Phil having very loud sex, their moans and shouts easily reverberated through the thin walls and the bathroom acoustics made it louder than normal.

Or it could just be the fact that they can't keep it in their pants, I don't know?

Xxx

Okay so I know I said I'd see ya soon and it's been almost two months. First and foremost I would like to say I am so incredibly sorry for this random unexpected hiatus and that this chapter does not in fact live up to my standard.

Everything Just kinda hit me all at once, I saw Shinedown, we went on an unexpected vacation, I was transferred to a different school outside my district then was promptly thrown back into homeschooling after a week of being sick.

AND THEN THE BEST THING EVER HAPPENED HOLY SHIT MY BASICALLY SISTER CAME HOME FROM JAPAN AFTER NOT SEEING HER FOR THREE YEARS! IT WAS A SURPRISE AND NEEDLESS TO SAY I SPENT THE WHOLE THREE WEEKS SHE WAS HOME LOITERING IN THEIR HOUSE.

Also sorry for the random name change. I was never quite satisfied with the name but now, now I can rest easy. It's so much more fitting; I can't be the only one who thinks that!

This chapter's title is by imagine dragons because I could not for the life of me think of a name. Thank you for sticking with me for this long, if your still there that is.

Ta, ta.
