Chapter 17
The weekend came up for them pretty quickly, Troy was the first one finished Friday afternoon so met his parents and brother at the entrance to their dorms only five minutes after they arrived.
"I hope you guys didn't wait to long for me." Troy said to his family as he approached.
"No we just got here, where is Ryan?" Jack asked his son.
"His still in class for another hour or so, I got the afternoon of my professor is off with the flu so we got to catch up on our work which I am ahead of for the first time this year." Troy said at the worried look his parents gave him. "I'm fine, seriously I just came from the campus library thus why I have my laptop carry case with me." Troy said Alex laughed.
"You don't have any books with you though." Sarah said to him Troy smiled.
"I don't need to have any, I used the library's books and recalled the rest from memory." Troy said to her. "There's a coffee shop not far from here why don't we go get some coffee." Troy said to them they nodded as they headed out of the dorms Troy smiled and said hello to a couple of people he knew from his classes.
"Ryan said you were under the weather." Jack said.
"I had a bout of the flu at the weekend nothing serious." Troy said to him. "I'm fine dad." he added when his dad stared at him. "We can always house hunt on our own so you can all go back home you know." Troy growled his brother slapped him on the back.
"Is it the climate?" Sarah asked.
"Well considering I am used to tropic temperatures at this time of year I think so." Troy said to her. "We might as well walk its not far, and there are no parking spaces near by anyway." Troy said to them as they walked past the lot on to the main street. "I think that its one of these places which you only find if your lucky, no students go in there and its always peaceful, I always go on a Friday while Ryan is in class." Troy said to them. "I can work on assignments without interruption." Troy added his brother laughed. "Its my dirty little secret, of course Ryan knows about it but as yet I have not taken him to the shop." Troy said.
"I bet he loves that." Sarah said.
"His denying me a good Thai place so we are even." Troy said she laughed. "Its who will cave first to get what they want." Troy added his father laughed.
"Missing home?" Jack asked.
"Not as much as I miss my old bed." Troy said his dad slapped the back of his head.
"You miss a bed more than us I am hurt." Jack said.
"If you pay me more I'll say I miss you equally." Troy said his mother laughed Alex was trying to not laugh. "Being here is great and being away from the hell of New York is helping to heal some old wounds." Troy said his father nodded. "Of course good sex is contributing to that to." Troy said with a cheeky grin.
"You TJ have a one track mind." Alex said Troy laughed.
"Yeah well with a boyfriend that sexy you can't blame me." Troy said to him Alex giggled. "I'm a teenager anyway I am allowed to have a one track mind." Troy pointed out they had arrived at the shop as Troy's phone rang he answered it gave directions to someone that they assumed was Ryan before putting the phone down. "Ryan just got out he'll be here soon and as told me what he would like as a drink." Troy said to them as they entered the shop which was quite big with large comfortable looking chairs in the room.
"Troy what can I get you this afternoon?" Sam said to him from behind the counter.
"Hey Sam Cappuccino's all round and a Italiano Hot Chocolate." Troy said to him the boy grinned as he went about getting their order as Troy picked out snacks and a sandwich for himself. "You guys want something more substantial?" he asked.
"No its fine we ate not long ago." Jack said as Troy picked out a sandwich for himself as well just as Ryan entered the shop.
"Hey gorgeous." Troy said to him.
"Hey this is the place you were telling me about?" Ryan asked Troy nodded. "I guess I need to take you to the Thai restaurant I found with my friends from class last week." Ryan said Troy nodded his head.
"You guys do things separately?" Jack asked as they sat down.
"Yeah we think it's a good idea if we have a life outside of our own little world." Ryan said Troy nodded.
"We don't want to get sick of being under each others feet all the time, we know each others friends of course but we do go out without the other occasionally to give each other a break or when we need to study." Troy said Ryan nodded as the first of their drinks arrived Troy took his hot chocolate from the tray. "Sam do you want me to pay now or before we leave?" Troy asked.
"Before you leave." Sam said Troy nodded.
"So have you lined houses up to view?" Jack asked.
"Six tomorrow." Troy said to him. "One was added last night it just became available it's a little further out than I would like but it sounds perfect." Troy said to him.
"Reasonable price?" Alex asked.
"I think the most expensive is three and a half." Troy said Alex nodded.
"Any mortgage?" Sarah asked Alex Ryan and Troy laughed.
"No." Troy said. "Its not exactly pocket change but its close." Troy said to her she smiled.
"No problems with the cars?" Jack asked.
"No half the dorms are watchful of each of the cars we watch each others backs you know." Ryan said to him.
"How is Chuckie?" Sarah asked.
"His good, his a couple of doors down from us his room mate and I are in some of the same classes." Troy said to her. "So when we need to distract Ryan while we study we send the two of them shopping." Troy said Ryan giggled pushing him lightly. "Its an easy distraction." Troy said Ryan pouted.
"And why staying in the dorms isn't going to work?" Jack said Troy nodded.
"His filling it with stuffed toys." Troy said Jack laughed.
"You started it, you won that tiger." Ryan said.
"For you baby." Troy pointed out sipping his drink sighing happily.
"Your point." Ryan said growling playfully. "I love Leo." Ryan said. "You still have your teddy's so I thought I'd have a couple." Ryan said Troy laughed.
"You notice that they are both on the bed side and I haven't slept with them since we got here." Troy said to him Ryan laughed.
"That's a step forward." Jack said.
"What do you guys plan on doing this Christmas?" Sarah asked them.
"We thought that we'd come home spend some time with our dysfunctional families." Troy said Ryan giggled.
"Your nan would like to see you as well." Sarah said.
"We aren't going to be able to please everyone this year unless we all go out to Australia." Troy said to her. "I want to see Alexis as much as any body but we are just to busy to do everything." Troy said to his mum. "Will you let Nana know that we will try." Troy said to his mum who nodded.
"Maybe we can work something out for Easter." Ryan suggested Troy nodded his head.
"Sounds like a plan." Jen said to them. "The life of a college student." she said shaking her head Troy laughed.
"Its not that bad, its just busy." Troy said.
"Your coping though?" Jack asked.
"Except for the flu last week yeah." Troy said Jack looked at Ryan.
"Yeah we get to spend our evenings doing things together even if its just cuddling up for a film and we both get a day of during the week so its pretty good." Ryan said Jack stared at the blond hard for a moment before he nodded. "Troy was under the weather for the weekend because of the flu it didn't effect school." Ryan said to his father in law all to aware of how protective his in laws were of Troy the man finally conceded.
"If you were overloading you would act." Jack said Troy gave him a look as if to say he was a complete idiot if he thought he wouldn't. "Yeah I know stupid question, I also know that my son as an IQ a hell of a lot higher than any one else at this table, and he doesn't know when to quit." Jack added Troy snorted.
"I am not a hell of a lot more intelligent than anyone at this table, it doesn't matter how high my IQ is if I don't use it." Troy said to him with a smile on his face. "Now can we stop talking about how intelligent I may or may not be, I want to enjoy my coffee then I want to go house shopping tomorrow so I can get out of the hell hole that is our dorm room." Troy said to his parents Ryan laughed. "I thought he was the only one with space issues apparently not." Troy added Ryan elbowed him in the ribs. "Oh right not supposed to say that." Troy said Ryan laughed Troy smiled at him. "Our room is beginning to resemble a closet that just happens to have a bed in it." Troy said to his mum who laughed. "You guys don't mind if Chuckie and Nick come along tomorrow do you." He asked.
"Why?" Ryan said.
"They have nothing to do, and they'll be moving in with us when we do they can help us out." Troy said to him Ryan laughed. "Okay so what they say isn't what matters but I don't want to be bored to tears tomorrow." Troy said he nodded.
"How does someone as intelligent as you get bored?" Ryan asked.
"Easily when the stuff is mundane." Troy said to him Alex giggled. "You brought my nephew to Cambridge in October are you insane, not to mention my heavily pregnant sister in law and unborn twins along for the ride." Troy snarled at his brother.
"Woe there… Troy the twins and Lucas are fine." Alex said to him.
"Thanks for the reassurance." Troy said with a smile. "Where are you guys staying tonight?" Harry asked him.
"The Hilton." Sarah said.
"And you accuse me of over spending." Troy said to his mother who laughed. "Did you happen to book another room?" Troy asked hopefully.
"You hate that room that bad?" Jack asked.
"I can barely move in it, Ryan spases out every other day because its tight in there these days." Troy said to him Ryan slapped the back of his head.
Hsmhsmhsm
The following morning the four friends arrived at the hotel in a limo big enough for the whole family, "You sure your okay with this?" Nick asked him.
"Yeah I'm about to throw three million at a house so this is big spending for me, your along for the ride to advice." Troy said as the door to the limo opened. "You better not go into labour today madam, I want this day." Troy said to her.
"Relax I'm just seven and a half months along." Jen said.
"You know that me and Matt were two months early right." Troy said to her she stared. "I was due in February not December." Troy added.
"Is that true." Jen asked Jack who nodded. "Your not helping me TJ?" she snarled.
"Sorry sis." Troy said to her she smiled. "Driver do you know where we are going?" Troy called up to the front.
"Sure do." the man replied.
"Great lets get there then please." Troy said to him he heard a yes sir.
"Good nights sleep?" Alex asked.
"Smart ass comments like that are going to get you an ass whooping." Troy said to his brother rubbing his eyes. "I fell out of the damn bed." Troy said to him.
"Ouch." Jack said.
"Yeah the back of my head said a lot of that." Troy replied. "I need out of that damn room sooner rather than later." Troy added.
The limo pulled up in front of a house half hour later, "I blind picked this." Ryan said.
"Good thing I checked it out." Troy said to him. "This is going to cost us two and a half million, I don't want to be blindly checking stuff out." Troy said to Ryan who nodded. "We can afford it but hell I don't want to see something hideous." Troy said to him as he opened the door to the limo climbing out first he smiled taking in the scenery of the out of city mansion.
"Wow, it looks better than it did in the photos." Troy said to Ryan as he stepped out of the limo.
"Mr. Bolton I am the agent Marie we spoke on the phone last night." she said.
"Troy, this is my partner Ryan the others are either friends or family." Troy said to her she nodded.
"The house as eight bedrooms all en suite, you have four bathrooms through out the house two on the ground floor two on the first. All en suites have toilets as well, the master bedroom as a large walk in wardrobe the rest have fitted wardrobes." she said to them.
"Would you mind if we walked around on our own and got a feel for the place." Troy said to her she smiled.
"Not at all." Marie said to him.
"Thank you, this is gorgeous." Troy said to her.
"The basement was turned into a heated in door swimming pool." she said Troy got a goofy look on his face.
"Okay now I like this place a bit more." Troy said taking Ryan's hand leading the way up the drive and into the house. "What do you think?" Troy asked him.
"Its great." Ryan said.
"You want to see the other houses?" Troy asked him.
"Its your money." Ryan said.
"Ryan you're an idiot its our money not mine, your name is going to be on the deeds to this house as well as mine." Troy said to him Ryan stared at him. "You still thinking like its my money and your money Ryan, its not I don't think of it that way I think of it as our money now." Troy said to him with a smile. "I'm taking you to the bank on Monday and we are going to sign some forms, I was going to wait until after we marry but I don't want to do that." Troy said to him they were on their own in the back of the house.
"Troy… are you sure?" Ryan asked.
"I'm marrying you, so yeah. Of course if your trying to say your going to rob me blind then of course I won't sign the papers." Troy said taking Ryan's hands in his own. "You're my husband in all but law and name what is mine is yours." Troy said kissing him. "I don't need to see the rest of the house do you?" Troy asked him Ryan shook his head.
"No I don't." Ryan said to him. "I love it the view is incredible." Ryan said to him its empty and ready to move into right?" Ryan said.
"The sellers brought and moved into a new home already they are just waiting to sell this one." Troy said as they walked back to the front of the house. "Marie tell them they have a buyer at the asking price." Troy said to the woman as they exited the house the family stared at them.
"You can't have made a decision this quickly." Chuckie said.
"We didn't need to look the whole place over its gorgeous." Ryan said to their friends.
"We fell in love with the house." Troy said to him.
"That easy." Chuckie said.
"You and Nick can move in as soon as we have furniture for the place and the sale goes through." Troy said as Marie came back.
"They accepted the offer." she said.
"Do I write the cheque now?" Troy asked.
"Yes." Marie said Troy took his book out walking to the car using the bonnet for something to lean on as he wrote out the cheque taking note of who he was writing it out for he tore it out of the book looking up at the house with a fond smile. "I can leave the keys with you to look around the house properly you can drop them off at the office when your done." she said to him.
"Thank you Marie we'd like that." Troy said handing the cheque to Ryan who gave it to the woman his eyes twinkling. "Our first home together that isn't a summer home." Troy said to him Ryan laughed leaning into his shoulder.
"Congratulations." Marie said before heading for her car.
Hsmhsmhsm
A month later the four friends were looking up at the house their cars parked up on the drive and in the garage, Troy smiled at Ryan before looking at his friends.
"You don't pay rent here, all you do is contribute to the food we get into the house." Troy said to them.
"I can't accept that." Chuckie said to him.
"Yes you can, you're my best friend and Nick is a friend this is a gift not charity." Troy said to him Chuckie stared at him. "I'm not going to take no for an answer guys, your rooms have been set up for you both thanks to an interior designer that Ryan's mum knows." Troy said to them Ryan giggled as their jaws dropped.
"Ryan your mums friend designed our rooms?" Nick asked.
"The whole house actually." Ryan said to him.
"You spent a fortune on this place didn't you?" Chuckie asked.
"Just buying the damn thing meant that we spent a fortune." Troy said to him Chuckie laughed. "The interior was a small fraction of the money spent on the house itself." he said to his friend. "The garden was done separately for low level of effort." Troy said to him. "I can cook but gardening is not my thing nor is its Ryan's." Troy said to his friends who laughed. "The only room that is of limits is ours unless we ask you to come in or something, obviously we will respect that with your rooms." Troy said to Nick and Chuckie.
"Fair enough." Chuckie said to them.
"Chuckie would you stay a moment." Ryan said to him as Nick and Troy entered the house.
"What's up dude?" Chuckie asked.
"You and Nick are an item right?" Ryan asked Chuckie blushed.
"Is it that obvious?" Chuckie asked Ryan nodded. "Please don't say anything to anyone other than Troy, his curious about his sexuality and an well I am helping out." Chuckie said Ryan laughed at him with a smile on his face.
"I won't say a thing to anyone other than Troy, you know he loves the two of you to bits right." Ryan said to him with a smile.
"I know, Nick was feeling a little homesick and Troy's up and at them attitude keeps him on his toes, Troy was the one that gave him the courage to ask me." Chuckie said to them.
"Troy will be happy for the two of you, he got a mail from Chad yesterday, his boyfriend is seriously hot we get to meet him at Christmas." Ryan said to Chuckie.
"Yeah I heard, Troy told me about it in the gym this morning." Chuckie said to him. "Troy was laughing that someone as ugly as Chad could get a boyfriend like Mikey." he added.
"Troy said that about Chad?" Ryan asked.
"You know that Troy's first crush was on Chad right." Chuckie said to him.
"Seriously, that makes sense." Ryan said. "My boyfriend is a little bit jealous that's cute." Ryan added Chuckie laughed.
"Not jealous exactly Ryan, you know what its like when your first crush you know…" Chuckie said Ryan nodded. "Its strange for him since Chad is among his closet friends." Chuckie added.
"Yeah I know that, I used to feel insecure about them but I know that Troy is mine now. He goes out of his way to make sure I know that every day, the little things he does shows me this." Ryan said to him with a smile.
"Yeah he does, if you ever hurt him your going to get killed by a lot of people." Chuckie said to him.
"Do you ever wonder about what might have been?" Ryan asked.
"Between me and Troy? No his heart as always belong to you Ryan, his liked you for a long time trust me on that. We would never have worked out for a whole load of reasons chief among them being that he was in love with you." Chuckie said.
"Thanks, I trust him Chuckie I was curious about it. I know he would never willingly cheat on me." Ryan said to him.
"I know." Chuckie said to him patting his shoulder. "You mind if we go in I am so cold." Chuckie said Ryan laughed.
"Not at all." Ryan said to him.
They walked into the house Troy winked at Ryan as they led him into the lounge.
"SURPRISE." a whole load of people shouted at Chuckie.
"Happy birthday Charlie." Troy said kissing him on the cheek.
"How the hell did you do this without me knowing?" Chuckie said to him.
"I called a few people and made sure we moved in on a Saturday so we could get the guys here from college, it cost an arm and a leg but the look on your face was worth every penny." Troy said to him hugging his friend. "Enjoy." Troy said to him Nick laughed at the stunned look on Chuckie's face as Troy went to hug Chad and Sharpay.
"Hello Troy." he heard someone say he turned Gabi was standing behind him.
"Hey Gabi, its good to see you." Troy said hugging her. "How's life at UCLA?" Troy asked her Ryan smiled at him from a far.
"Good thanks, I got Zeke into a good nursery thingy for young children." Gabriella said to him Troy smiled.
"I didn't think you'd come." Troy said to her.
"Taylor and your mum had a lot to do with it, I'll be at your wedding next year as well." she said to him.
"Did you bring Zeke?" Troy asked the girl nodded.
"His sleeping upstairs your mum said it would be okay." Gabriella said.
"Great, so how are you fairing up the truth." Troy asked she laughed. "Remember I have been there so if anyone can understand your looking at him." Troy said to her she smiled.
"I have bad days you know but they are getting further apart now." Gabriella said. "Does the pain ever go away?" she asked Troy took her hand in his.
"No, but I don't think its meant to you know." Troy said to her. "The pain is their to remind us of what we have lost, when it comes about think of the good times." Troy said to her she nodded. "If you have clothes of his and stuff like that sometimes its good to sort it out and give it away." Troy said to her she stared.
"You still have Matt's teddy." Gabriella pointed out.
"I said sometimes not all of the time, Matt is different to me a lot more personal to me than my family maybe with the exception of my parents." Troy said to her. "Identical twins have a link its special, when he died a part of me went with him." Troy added.
"I think I know what you went through." Gabriella said. "You understood why I left right?" she said.
"Yeah I knew, I ran when I lost Matt, I didn't stop until I met Chad and Chuckie." Troy said to her she stared. "I had to start my life over again here, when we went to New York it brought some of the worst memories back to me like they were fresh wounds again. It doesn't go way, it doesn't go away it just gets a little easier to live with." Troy said to her she smiled.
"So come show me this little boy would you." Troy said Gabriella smiled taking his hand Ryan met them on the landing. "Hey I was just going to meet Zeke you want to come along for the ride?" Troy asked Ryan laughed.
"I'd love to." Ryan said to him and Gabriella.
"Congratulations on getting him to settle down." Gabriella said to Ryan causing Troy to pout they both laughed.
Troy five minutes later was holding Zeke junior thorning over him a smile on his lips, "His gorgeous." Troy kept saying to himself more than anyone else Gabriella smiled at her friend. "When you go home you had better not stop phoning and mailing." Troy said to her she laughed at him.
"I promise." Gabriella said. "I was going to have him christened I'd like you and Ryan to be his godfathers." she said Troy smiled at her goofily.
"I would be honoured to be this little mans godfather I think I can say that for both of us." Troy said to her Ryan nodded as he lent his head over Troy's should to stare down at the baby. "I know he was called Zeke does he have another name?" Troy asked.
"Corbin." Gabriella stared.
"His going to be a heart breaker." Troy said Ryan took the baby of him.
"His already looking like Zeke." Gabriella said.
"Poor little mite." Troy said making funny faces at the smiling baby. "Your going to cause so much trouble mister." Troy said to Zeke the baby as he tapped the baby's chest with his index finger. "You and I are going to have a chat when your much older about treating a girl or boy right, so you don't become the monumental screw up your dad was until he met your mum with girls." Troy said to him Gabriella smiled at him.
"You're an uncle again apparently." Gabriella said to him.
"Yeah a little girl and a little boy." Ryan said as Troy produced a picture from his wallet handing it to his friend.
"Samantha Leah Bolton and Maxwell David Bolton." Troy said to her.
"She has your eyes." Gabriella said.
"I think Alex might say their his eyes." Troy said to her she laughed. "I personally feel sorry for Samantha she is going to have a problem keeping a girlfriend with two older brothers." Troy said to her she giggled.
"Your going to have kids after college right?" Gabriella said Troy nodded. "Don't both looking for a surrogate call me." she said to him Troy stared.
"Are you serious?" Ryan asked.
"Of course I am." Gabriella said to them Troy bit back the tears threatening to escape.
"You have no idea what that means to either of us." Troy said in barely a whisper.
"I kind of do, your both be excellent parents." Gabriella said to them Troy smiled hugging her tightly.
"Thank you." Troy said to her.
"What he said, Troy would you take Zeke I want to hug Gabi to." Ryan said to him Troy took the baby with practiced ease.
Hsmhsmhsm
Troy Chuckie and Chad sat by the pool talking for a long time about school and boyfriends, "You brought yours with you." Troy said to Chad who smiled.
"I hope you didn't mind." Chad said.
"Not at all his hot by the way you want to swap." Troy said Ryan slapped the back of his head as he passed. "Ouch Ryan, you know I love you right." Troy said to his blond boyfriend who laughed.
"Damn right I am much sexier." Ryan said.
"You have a nicer bum and a lot less chest hair." Troy said to him Ryan laughed pointing at Troy's own hairy chest it was getting there not quite all the way yet but he had a sizeable amount of hair on his chest. "You want me to shave it?" Troy asked him Ryan shook his head.
"I like it." Ryan said to him.
"Guys?" Troy asked his friends.
"It looks good on you." Chad said to him.
"How goes your time at uni?" Troy asked him.
"I have a trial with the Lakers next week if I get it I don't think I will be staying in college for long." Chad said Troy stared.
"Are you serious?" Chuckie and Troy asked Chad nodded.
"That's fantastic Chad, I am so happy for you." Troy said to him hugging his friend. "You better not screw this up or I will beat you ass." Troy said to him Chad laughed nodding his head in ascent. "I want their autographs as well by the way and tickets to your first game." Troy said to him Chad laughed.
"You don't even like the Lakers." Chad said to him.
"True but your be on the team and I will want to see that, Ryan will to right." Troy shot over his shoulder Mikey and Ryan looked at them.
"No but since its Chad I would make an exception and come along for the ride." Ryan said with a smile. "I wouldn't miss it for the world Chad." Ryan added to his friend.
"Thanks guys." Chad said just before Troy pushed him into the pool. "That was not cool." Chad growled when he came up to the surface.
"Yeah it was." Troy said dropping into the water next to him Chuckie did like wise the water fight that ensued got Ryan and Mikey wet as well. An hour later and Troy and Mikey were down the other end of the pool watching their friends and boyfriends playing with one of the balls.
"He loves you." Mikey said to him.
"Yeah I know, I had this massive crush on Chad but he has you and I have Ryan and the way he talks about you his mad about you." Troy said to Mikey who stared at him.
"He said that?" Mikey said Troy slapped him on the back.
"He didn't need to his mail was all about you and how call you were and how happy you made him." Troy said to the boy.
"I think I love him." Mikey said Troy smiled.
"He loves you I can see it, when he was dating Taylor he was going through the motions I could see it but his happy with you. The invite to the wedding just became plus one, we don't know you but if Chad is dating you then that's good enough for us." Troy said to him Mikey nodded. "We are flying all of our friends to London first class of course for the wedding and putting them up in a hotel for three days." Troy said to him.
"I knew Chad said you were well of but you can afford to do that really?" Mikey asked.
"Yeah I really can do that." Troy said to him. "I love Chad like a brother so you hurt him I am going to kill you." Troy said to Mikey who laughed but got the meaning.
"He talks about you a lot I wondered why until today you're a good guy." Mikey said to him.
"So tell me about you?" Troy said to him.
"Well I was born in LA, my parents are actors successful actors at that on the stage and on film. I have been trying to get out from under their shadows for years now I feel like I can do that you know." Mikey said Troy nodded. "I met Chad after a practice game, my friend is in the same team and introduced us, Chad took a week to ask me out on a date and that was about three weeks ago." Mikey said to him.
"That must suck." Troy said to him.
"It does, they mother me ever since my twin sister died." Mikey said Troy tried not to smile.
"Yeah I know that feeling." Troy said to him.
"How can you?" Mikey said.
"Chad hasn't told you?" Troy asked Mikey shook his head. "My twin Matt was killed by a drunk driver when I was eight, I know what its like to lose a twin because I have been there seen it done it and have the t-shirt for it." Troy said to him. "How long ago?" Troy asked.
"Four years." Mikey said.
"I was eight when he was killed, it never gets easier does it?" Troy asked Mikey shook his head.
"Were you identical?" Mikey asked Troy nodded and found himself being hugged by the man. "Thanks for telling me, can I have your email I'd like to talk more and get to know you since I am dating your best friend after all.. I can probably get the dirty on him from you." Mikey said Troy laughed.
"Ask me in the morning before you leave I will give you mine and Ryan's email." Troy said Mikey nodded.
Hsmhsmhsm
Troy drove Chad and Mikey back to the airport in Ryan's car with Ryan in the passenger seat, "You got our home number and our emails so Mikey you have no excuse not to write and let us know what this dufuss gets up to." Troy said Chad laughed as Mikey nodded at the terminal.
"Troy can I talk to you?" Chad asked.
"Sure dude." Troy said as they walked over to the side.
"Thanks for making him feel like his a part of the family." Chad said.
"Its nice to know someone who has been through what I went through with Matt in a bad sense because I wouldn't wish that upon anyone, I like him and his obviously good for you Chad so don't lose him." Troy said to his best friend.
"I won't." Chad said. "If I had told you about me before you and Ryan got together would we be together now?" Chad asked Troy laughed.
"Chad don't live on what could have been's but yes we probably would have been." Troy said to him Chad nodded. "You're my best friend and my brother and I love you to bits." Troy said to him with a smile.
"I know I don't want that to change." Chad said.
"It won't." Troy said to him. "I miss you a lot its not the same without you to make smart comments and those damn t-shirts." Troy said to him.
"That's our plane." Chad said as Troy hugged him kissing his cheek. "That is so gay." Chad said Troy laughed.
"Take care of yourself and call when you get home so we know you got home safely." Troy said to him as Ryan joined them.
"See you Mikey." Ryan said to him.
"Yeah see you Mikey, if you need to talk you know where I am." Troy said Mikey smiled at him as they left to go through the gate.
"What was that about?" Ryan asked.
"His twin died his sister." Troy said to him. "We clicked you know." Troy said Ryan smiled.
"That will be good for both of you." Ryan said as they walked out of the terminal.
"Yeah it will be, I think its going to help us both and his really good for Chad you know." Troy said to him Ryan nodded. "I have a good feeling about this year." Troy said to him as they got to the car.
"I do to." Ryan said.
