In Time

Chapter 4

Connors P.O.V

I walk back through the park.
As I do every single day
And look at the bench I've sat at the past two days and see no Troye there. I don't know why I expected him to be there but seeing him not was really disappointing. It's nice to talk with someone who has similar thoughts about this whole timeQ's situation occurring in our lives. My dad used to be a psychologist before he passed and he taught me a little, so I can read people. That means I can know how someone can feel, act, when they lie, why they lie, and sometimes I can see if they are happy or they're...
Broken.
But there are a few people I can't read and one of them is Troye. He's a very mysterious boy who I can kind of tell he's not always the happiest. That's the other part of the reason why I wanted to see him there. I then sit at the bench taking out my book to write a new poem about my feelings right now when I get stopped by a figure sitting down next to me. My first instinct was to turn so I did and there I see, Troye.
"Oh hi, Troye." I say trying to stop the smile growing on my face.
"Hey." He says obviously not happy.
"What's up?"
He just sits there with his back curled like an angry toddler twiddling his fingers.
"Troye? Are you alright?"
I can start to tell that Troye is a boy who doesn't like to express his emotions and if he does, he goes all out.
"Troye, please I wanna help." I plead.
"It's my birthday today and I got my timeQ's and everything then we got in an argument, my parents and I, and they left and they also left the present here and then I opened it and it was a piano, and you know how those much costs but it's because I've always wanted a piano so it's all my fault."
He then stops and exhales out and says
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bore you I just-"
"No no no. It's ok, I understand. I'm sorry too. So why are you upset about the timeQ's?"
He then shows me his wrist and I freeze in shock.
"52 years, oh my god." I say still not moving.
"I know! It's all my fault!"
"No Troye, it's not. You want to change it and that's all that matters. You're a good person and you did nothing."
He then starts to look out at all the outsiders and his eyes get all watery. After that he turns his head slightly away from my vision and sniffs up his tears. I know if I ask if he's alright he won't tell me so all I do is put my hand on his shoulder to let him know that everything is alright. Sometimes that's all a person needs. After a while I then open my book and start writing my new poem. Troye then turns a little and points out my book again
"So uh, made any new poems?"
"Yeah actually."
He then starts looking at it and I know the curiosity is building up inside it as I slowly open it but then quickly shove it close and stand up. I've never gotten a chance to actually greet and meet him and all that stuff so I decide to ask him on a 'date'. Just as I friend thing though, man.

Troyes P.O.V

"Wanna walk around the park?"
Before I can contemplate what he's just said, I'm already standing up and walking side by side with him.
"So, why a piano?" He asks.
"Oh, well I like to write music and I've always begged for a piano when I was younger but I guess they never forgot so here it is." I say just realising how long I spoke for
"I'm sorry I'm always speaking a lot."
"It just means you have a lot to say."
He then smiles at me and I smile back.
After a little while of talking and laughing, he then asks if I have a phone.
"Yeah why?"
"Good, can I have it for a second?"
I then give him my phone, type in the password, and wait to see what he's doing. After a bit he then gives it back and says
"Text me."
I look down and see he's put his phone number in and put his name as
Connor
"You are really confident aren't you."
"You are really mysterious aren't you."
We then both laugh at each other when I see an outsider beg for money.
I quickly realise I now have timeQ's and run up to them
"Do you have any timeQ's to spare?"
"Yes, yes I do here you go."
I then connect the two connections when I feel a smack to the side of my head. The connections disconnect and I look up to see my mother standing atop of me and yelling
"I knew you couldn't help yourself, I knew it! That's it, you're coming with me Troye."
She then grabs my wrist with full power and pulls me into her car. As I'm being dragged I see Connor behind me try to help but I just yell
"It's fine, it's my mother!"
He then nods with a terrified look on his face as I get dragged into the car. As I'm in the car she continuously yells at me as I just text Connor

Connor: are you alright??

Troye: yes I'm alright

Connor: are you sure will you come back?!

Troye: maybe not sorry
Troye: do you wanna meet at the bench tomorrow some time?

Connor: yea of course

My mum then slaps my phone out of my hand as we pull into the driveway. I quickly grab it and get out fast walking into the house. I stand in the entrance inside and wait for my mother to give it to me as I hear my dad come downstairs.
