TROYE'S POV

David runs after me to my cell, even though that's the last thing I wish would have happened.

His hazel eyes search mine with such intensity, it's almost uncomfortable.

"I'm sorry" he says.

"It's not you, it's me..." I say.

He kisses me briefly and says, "and that was me, not you"

I smile nervously. He grabs my hand, and we lay on my mattress, our bodies intertwined but we remain silent.

Right as he kisses me, my cell door opens. My eyes dart to a crestfallen Tyler Oakley standing in the doorway, holding one of the flowers from the vase on the table in the lobby. I jump up, rushing to him.

"Tyler" I begin, the desperation seeping into my voice.

His shimmery eyes look more hurt and broken than I've ever seen them. Tears roll down his face and he turns away from me, running to his cell. Everything I am collapses within me.

I chase him and knock on his cell door.

"Tyler, please" I'm on the verge of crying now too.

"Go away!" He says, half mad, half upset. He sniffles.

"No. Tyler- Tyler, I can't. Things just.. happened. And-.. I never- I never meant to hurt you-"

"WHAT WERE YOUR INTENTIONS THEN?!"

"I-" I let a sob escape me, "I don't know. T-Ty" I can't finish, and I sink to my knees.

"JUST GO AWAY TROYE!"

So I crawl back to my now empty cell. I cry and scream until I curl up into a ball, letting time drift me further away from my surroundings.

David walks in. His eyes no longer bright and energetic.

"I'm sorry. I have news that in no way will help you but has to be delivered. I have to leave. It's just for a month. You can still, like, call me and stuff but.. it's complicated."

What little remains of sanity I have dissipates. I just nod and he walks out.

The next day, I awake to the noise of talking from the lobby. I slide up against the wall, not entirely sure how sturdy my legs are right now.

I lean my ear against the door, listening to my three friends talk.

"I'm sorry, Tyler. I know it must've been hard for you to tell us and talk about it." Zoe says.

No response.

"It's obvious he cares, anyone paying attention can see that he loves you." Zoe says.

Again, nothing.

I open the door and they all look in my direction. Zoe looks at me expectantly, like she wants me to break down in front of everyone. Alfie looks at me the way Tyler does now; a stare full of disappointment, and anger.

I sit on the floor, well away from them. Nobody says a word, everyone probably having the worst thoughts about me.

President Kay walks in, breaking the silence.

"Tyler, you'll be held in captivity from now on, and will be under a simulation 90% of the time." He grabs Tyler's wrist and whisks him away, leaving me and Zoe and Alfie alone.

"Why did you cheat on him?" Alfie asks after what seems like forever.

I run a hand through my hair, "things just spiraled out of control, I guess"

"That's all you're going to say?" Zoe asks, her gaze actually intimidating.

"What do you want me to say?!" I snap.

Silence. I get up and walk to my cell. I sigh as I click the door shut.

How can I make it up to Tyler if he won't even be here?
