I SPY DRAMA.............;) 

============================

- PETE (I KNOW) -

My hands are shoved in my pockets as I look at the stocked shelves in the grocery store. I don't know what to get, Tyler always helped me with this.

A wave of sadness flushes through my body.

Tyler.

I miss him. I should have never cheated on him, I was just going through a rough patch in my life. I should have cherished him. And now he was with Troye.

I scoffed at the name.

I always knew there was something going on between them. I kick at the floor, angry with the thought of them together, and I accidentally bump into another person.

Items fall to the floor and I blush in embarrassed.

"Ugh, sorry 'bout that" I say, leaning down to pick up the dropped items.

"Don't worry about it" I hear a deep voice respond. 

My eyes shift to the person's face and my jaw drops.

"Caleb?" 

- TYLER -

I try to stop my legs from moving so fast. I'm literally sprinting home just so Troye could come over sooner. I never thought I could be so hopeless in love. 

I quickly open my door, shutting it behind me as I head straight to the shower. I always love to take a shower right when I get home. 

I suddenly remember the last time I had been at my apartment.

My heart turns to stone at the memory, and I change my direction to open all the windows in my apartment, getting rid of the negative energy I could feel in the space. 

Sighing as I walk into the bathroom, I begin to strip off my clothes and step into the shower. The hot water drips down my shoulders, melting the stress out of my body. 

 The thought of seeing Troye again speeds my heart up, and I hop out of the shower. A towel is wrapped around my hips, and I use another towel to dry my hair as I walk out of the bathroom and into my bedroom.

*RING RING RING* 

I hear Troye's ringtone and a smile overtakes my face as I press answer.

"Hi, babe" I say, flopping down on the bed.

"I miss you" he says.

"I haven't even been gone an hour" I giggle, pulling at the threads on my duvet.

"So? I can't miss my perfect boyfriend?" 

I roll my eyes at his sappiness.

"Did you just roll your eyes at me?" he asks.

"How did you know?!" I ask, flabbergasted.

"I don't know, I just knew" he says.

Just those six words made me smile like a complete idiot.

 "Why'd you call?" I ask, still grinning while I trace the patterns on my bed.

"Didn't I say already? Cause I missed you. Jeez, Tilly. Keep up." 

"Shut up" I giggle.

"Okay, you dork. I have to go, I've got some...um...things to take care of..." he mumbles.

"...okay? Bye, babe" I say, dismissing his weird tone.

"Bye, Tilly" he says, and hangs up.

I close my eyes, tightly, smiling a huge smile.

He makes me so unbelievably happy. 

- TROYE -

I've always been good at lying, I'm an actor for crying out loud.

But, I've never been able to lie to Tyler.

Even when I first skyped him, I had to tell him I was gay, I felt guilty that I was lying to him about who I was. And, that was the first time I had talked to him.

So, you can imagine how hard it was to lie to Tyler about what I was doing. 

I had to tell him I had "some things to take care of".

Ugh, that's the most generic thing ever. But, hopefully he'll believe it.

Tonight is a big night.

I scurry out of my apartment, getting into my car, and driving to my next destination with a smile plastered on my face.

Tonight is the night I'm going to tell him I love him.
