Careful (Troyler)

Two: Skyping☺️

~Troye's POV~

It has been such an exhausting day. Meetings, signings, seeing fans on the streets. This is surreal, it's been such a great day. I've even gained more fans from my music; especially when I teamed up with Zedd & made Papercut. That track became extremely popular, & I am on Cloud 9. I have my earbuds in as I'm walking down the crowded streets in Perth, just thinking about my plans when I get home.

I texted Tyler earlier today & told him I was going to Skype him. It's going to be pretty late before I can Skype him, though. I hate the time zone difference between us. It will be eight in the morning for him, whilst it is eleven here before I can Skype him. But if I did it earlier, it'd be in the wee hours of the morning, & I don't want to wake him up. I bet he's probably sleeping blissfully right now...

I'm listening to Superfruit's cover of Happy Little Pill. It makes me smile that my YouTube friends listen & support me; it means a lot. Mitch & Scott do very well on the cover, too. They almost added they're own addition to it. The absolutely slayed it in my opinion. Oh, the harmony. It's beautiful. Although I don't talk to them much, or I haven't in person at all, they're great people. I would hang out with them, I'm just a very anxious person, honestly. It's really hard for me to get close with new people. When I was younger, in my early teenage years, I was diagnosed with anxiety. I used to have to take a bunch of medication for it, but I don't have to take but a very small dose of medication now. That's what Happy Little Pill is about; the pill I used to be dependent on; my happy little pill. But now I'm learning to find happiness in my friends & family. There's only one person other than family that really makes me feel entirely calmed down. I guess that's why I call him my best friend; Tyler Oakley. Since I've came out in 2013, I've gotten out asked out a lot. Don't get me wrong, I'm not exaggerating. I've been flirted with & asked out a lot, but I've said no to everyone. There were even some very attractive guys that have asked me, but I said no. Because I just can't let many people behind my walls. I don't know, an anxiety thing. I'm just a quite, antisocial weirdo. Unless I'm with Tyler, then I'm a sarcastic, extremely homosexual, weirdo. I guess he brings out the best in me. 😉

The skies of Perth are slowly getting darker & darker. If it wasn't for the street lights, it would almost be pitch black. The stars are slowly coming out, the damp ocean air & the crashing now of the waves is causing me to reminisce the days when I was making the EP. I would walk from my apartment to the studio, record all day, get lunch at a nearby cafe, then walk back home. It was exhausting, but it was so worth it.

When I finally get home, Sage is at the door to greet me.

"You're home late" she says, putting her arm around my neck.

" It's barley ten" I mutter "besides, I should be the one telling you that. You are my baby sis" I say mockingly.

"Oh shut up" Sage laughs.

"So, why are you up?" I question, fixing myself some toast & Nutella.

"Just can't sleep" she says, avoiding my gaze. I look at her outfit, seeing she's still rather dressed up. She's wearing a teal mini skirt & a white button up with some fake gold jewelry & some heels.

"Liar, where have you been?" I question looking her dead in the eye.

"I went out with a guy, came back about half an hour ago" she rolls her eyes "he was a douche."
