Getting Through Happily

Through The Dark Chapter 4

*Three weeks pass and Homecoming is this Friday. It is Monday.*

Connor's POV

What is going on in my head?!?!? There is so many things going on and I don't know what I am doing. I was just fine a few weeks ago and what the heck is going on now? I have no idea! It's so stressful and I dont know what to do.

Julie's POV

"Wasn't the way Drew asked me SO CUTE?"
Ally fangirled. I never see her fangirl so she had my full attenetion.

"Yes, yes, Ally the way he asked you on Friday was very cute. You've been fangirling to me the whole weekend."

"I know I know im sorry but SERIOUSLY it was SO CUTE."
Drew's move was typical but still very cute. He was a singer, performer, but didn't like to admit it to people. On Friday, Drew sang a song that he and I have been working on for ally over the past, like, two months, to Ally and she was so... Starstruck. Is that the word? Starstruck, at Drew. Especially the last line that was "This Canadian boy would like to take you to Homecoming, becuase... I, love, you."

She looooooved her Canadian boys.

Today was another day that we would be walking to school from Starbucks. Ally and I would do so about once every month, maybe more if we could.

"Connor has been acting a bit weird, don't you think?"
I said out to Ally and she nodded. "Mhm. Like he's confused. But I dont know of what."

"It's not on any topic in school or anything. What could it be?"

Once we got to school, we were surprised to see Joseph there already.
"HEY-"
Ally started but then Joseph put his pointer finger over his mouth and we walked over. He was standing behind a wall watching something. We looked over and saw Christy and Connor talking.

"Oh."

"Yeah... He's straight."
Joseph sighed out and slif his back down the wall. He stared off, confused.

"Joseph..."
I followed him and place my head on his shoulder. He just sighed.

Joseph reveled to me and Ally how he had created some strong feelings for Connor. Especially over the past week. He didn't think he could start liking someone so fast. And he wasn;t going to take this well. Poor Joseph has hurting and I hated seeing him like this. He looked as if he was about to cry.

Ally brought up the point that he or Christy might not be asking. That one of them couldve just had a question about something or needed help or anything really. But Joseph explained how Christy talked to him before, asking about Connor and what he likes and stuff, and how she started to take a liking in him. Plus she makes the first move, sometimes. Christy really stood out for the girls- she was like our representative.

We looked back over the wall, Joseph putting his face to his knees. Christy and Connor were hugging and once they let go, they started to hold hands.

Ally stood up stright, nodded to me and walked over to them. Meaning to get Joseph out of here before he explodes. No one knows more than I do, how this feels and how much liking someone so much can hurt. I don't even have the word that is spelled L O V E in my vocabulary anymore. I stood Joseph up, slinging his backpack over my shoulder and walked him to the next building into a classroom. The class that everyone loves and goes to in the morning. There we dozens of students in there, as usual so no on really noticed our enterence, except Sarah and Jenay.

They walked over to the corner desk I sat him in and i sat on the desk table infront of him. Sarah and Jenay following with "What happened?"

I explained and their mouths went into an O. Followed by a hug and hopeful but not-working reliveings that they gave to Joseph. He never cried, and I never wanted to see him cry because it always seems too painful to have to see that. It would hurt my heart too much - like it is now.
