Troye was sleeping peacefully in his bedroom, his luggage still packed up in his trolleys as he snored softly, the curls softly cascading down his forehead.

Someone unbolted the door and entered inside, slowly waking Troye up.

Troye mumbled sleepily something in french but the guy just shrugged and continued to wake up the boy who was still sleeping through his jetlag.

Troye softly fluttered his eyelids open and pursed his lips when his eyes bore into a brighter pair of blue eyes belonging to Phil Lester.

"Phil..." Troye mumbled groggily.

"Its midnight Troye and you have not eaten anything throughout the day so get up and come to the backyard, we are holding a barbecue," Phil said.

"Barbecue?" Troye asked again. He had never attended a  barbecue before so he was a tad bit confused.

"Yes, barbecue by the swimming pool," Phil said.

"Swimming pool?" Troye asked again, tilting his head to the side being confused again.

"Yeah we have a swimming pool in the backyard," Phil said doing some actions with his lanky hands as he tried to make Troye understand.

"Do you get it?" Phil asked.

Troye at least had an idea about what the boy was talking abut so he nodded his head and said a small 'oui'.

Phil left him and told him to be down as quick as possible because if he were late, apparently everyone was going to eat his food.

Troye changed into a new polo shirt which he found lying at the top of his trolley bag and the same black jeans before trying to settle down his wild curls and going downstairs to the backyard.

There was a large swimming pool there and the Josh guy was sitting with an ukulele as the Tyler guy sang some fast words in English which Troye did not quite get. He saw everybody was sitting together, laughing and eating some roast marshmallows and stuff like that.

He shyly walked over, his eyes actually searching for Jacob among the crowd of boys but he was nowhere to be seen. Troye sighed softly and wondered why Jacob was always away from the rest of the boys.

Dan spotted Troye and called him over, waving his hand and made some space for him to sit down on the grass.

Troye greeted everyone but no one bothered to greet him back so he just frowned and sat next to Dan who was munching on some food and laughing obnoxiously along with Phil.

Mitch was sat on Scott's lap and Adam was just smoking a cigarette quietly while Joey was scrolling through his phone. Olly and Connor were making some barbecued capsicum and chicken.

Olly served everyone their food on the plate and Troye was still waiting for Jacob to come around but he did not so Troye just shrugged and ate his food quietly, not exactly liking the taste but he was hungry so it would do for him.

Everyone was chatting with each other or flirting and seemed to be having fun except for Troye who just looked a bit lost. He hoped that he would have at least learnt english before taking this big step.

He ate half of his food, throwing the rest away when he heard Mitch get up and clear his throat.
Everyone stopped whatever they were doing and turned their attention at Mitch who stood in between with a warm smile and gave Troye a smile and a wave on noticing him timidly sat on the grass.

"So guys, who is up for a swimming pool dive?" Mitch asked as he got his shirt off as well as his pants before he dived right into the swimming pool with a splash. The water was cold but it was fun.

"I am in," Connor said as he dove right after Mitch, fully dressed.

Troye dare not even get up from the grass because he hated swimming pools and he did not know swimming.

Adam sneakily went up and pushed Scott in the swimming pool too, laughing before he dove into it himself and Scott just cursed loudly and splashed some water at the guy. Dan and Phil had already sneaked back to the house to do god knows what.

Even Tyler and Josh jumped into the swimming pool and now, only Joey, Troye and Olly were left. Olly stripped down to his boxers, smirking softly as he jumped into the swimming pool, the rest of the boys giggling and cheering for them.

Troye felt a hand on his arm and he looked up to see that it was Joey giving him a pleading expression. He understood that Joey was trying to persuade him to jump into the swimming pool but the pool was nine feet deep and Troye did not know how to swim.

"No," Troye said immediately.

"Come on, don't be such a wuss. If you have to stay in America, you gotta do something and have some fun," Joey said as he picked the frail boy up who was trying to escape and struggling to let himself go.

He was anxious and his heart started beating rapidly as his steps neared the swimming pool, all the other guys swimming in it  and splashing water at each other while laughing loudly. It looked like fun but it is only fun for them because they knew how to swim and Troye didn't.

"No please," Troye struggled to find the right words in English at this moment of panic, his body trembling as he was only a few inches away from the edge of the swimming pool.

Joey looked at the trembling boy and then left his grip on Troye's arm as Troye immediately loosened his body up and his breaths seemed to settle down.

"Come on Troye, its fun," Mitch said to the young boy who looked at how close he was to the swimming pool, fear crossing his eyes and shaking his head no vigorously.

"Its okay guys, don't worry," Joey said with a smirk before he gave a cheeky smile to Troye and then with a swift push of his hand on Troye's chest, Troye landed in the ice cold water.

"Oops," Joey snickered before he got off his shirt and dived into the pool, the rest of the boys cheering for him.

Troye on the other hand was struggling, his head under water as he had some difficulty to breathe. His body was shaking like a leaf again as he felt like crying, his voice choking when he tried to say something.

It was horrible. Troye only missed his friends and family in Paris now.
