Chapter 6

                                    

                                          
The girl walked away whispering "slut." Connor stared at me shocked. I couldn't tell if he was happy or sad. I started to run away, crying. But Connor stopped me, wiped away my tears, and kissed me. I felt safe. I felt happy. I felt warm. 
                          
Then the worst thing happened..
                          
I woke up. 
                          
The date was a dream.. The kiss was a dream. 
                          
I felt like crying, but I relaxed... It's not the first time I've had a Connor Franta dream.
                          
Suddenly, my phone buzzed. My mom texted me.
                          
Mom: Hey sweetie, dad and I left for the business trip. Lmk if Jack shows up. I'll call the police.
                          
I completely forgot about that trip... bit the last part repeated in my head. If Jack shows up..
                          
My heart sank. I suddenly filled with fear. What if Jack did come over? What if he tried again?
                          
I immediately called Connor, while quietly sobbing.
                          
C-Connor
                          
M-"me"
                          
C:Hello?
                          
His voice was raspy. He just woke up. It was soooooo sexy.
                          
M: Connor, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to wake you up...
                          
I was hoping he couldn't tell by my voice that I was crying, but he did.
                          
C: What's wrong, have you been crying?
                          
M: Yeah..
                          
C: Why?
                          
M: I'm scared... I'm afraid he'll come find me..
                          
I was crying hysterically.
                          
C: I'm coming over now.
                          
He hung up before I could say anything to him. I texted him my address and sat in my room with my door locked, windows locked, and alarm on. I was always around people, so I was never so scared of him.. 
                          
5 minutes later....
                          
I heard the doorbell ring..
                          
I was too scared to answer..
                          
As if Connor read my mind from afar, I got a text from him saying:
                          
"Don't worry, it's me"
                          
I ran downstairs, turned off my alarm, and unlocked the front door. I opened it and Connor hugged me instantly. I bawled my eyes out and he carried me to the couch.
                          
We didn't speak. I just laid on his chest crying until I finally dosed off.
                          
"What the fuck are you doing here!?" 
                          
I woke up hearing that. 
                          
"I was about to ask you the same thing. Why are you at my girlfriend's house!?"
                          
"Girlfriend? Dude, she never wants to see you again, get the fuck out!"
                          
I stand up to see Jack at the door. I immediately had trouble breathing and leaned against a wall and fell to the floor. Jack spotted me and pushed Connor away and started walking towards me.
                          
I shut my eyes waiting for my punishment, but instead, I hear him groan. I open my eyes and I see Connor pissed and Jack with a bloody nose. I sort of grinned.. All of a sudden, Jack hits a blow to Connor's chin. Connor jumped on him and punched him repeatedly. Nose, chin, cheek. Nose, chin cheek. Jack struggled to push him off. They both stood up. Jack tried running into Connor, but Connor dodged his attack. He grabbed Jack by the back of his shirt and pushed him out the house. 
                          
"Stay the fuck out!"
