Connor's POV
For the rest of last week, everyone was acting differently around Will and I. I guess we have gotten a lot closer over the past few weeks and after we had a sort of feud going on for the last few years that could be considered strange. And I do seem to keep accidentally flirting with him. It's usually accidental.
But he's with Natalie, Everyone knows that they've been in love with each other for years, even if it has only been official for eight months. I am not going to ruin that.
Will's POV
Oh god. That was horrible. I hate hurting Natalie so much. She deserves none of this. She deserves somebody who can love her, and only her. She deserves someone who doesn't break up with her because he has feelings for another man. I can't deny it anymore. I already tried that and it hasn't worked.
She was really supportive, though. I could see the pain in her eyes when I told her, but I decided to be honest about my reasons and she told me I should go for it. She said we could still be friends, but I understand that it'll be a long time before we get back to normal if we ever do. You can't just throw away an eight month relationship. Especially not one that had as much buildup as ours did.
Connor's POV
On Monday when I go into work, Will seems different. I try to ask him about it but he gets pulled off on a difficult case. I hope that he'll have a minute to talk, but he doesn't.
In the afternoon, I see a familiar face walking around. She's with Dr Charles. Robin. Our eyes meet and, after excusing herself, she walks over to me.
'Connor, hi.'
'Robin, how have you been?' I hug her then we walk into the doctor's lounge to talk.
'I've been okay. How about you?'
'Well, I guess I would be lying if I said good. Ava-'
'Oh, my dad filled me in. I'm so sorry, Connor.'
Her hand falls on my leg as I nod.
Will's POV
I have been slammed all day with work. I haven't had a single second to talk to Connor. When I eventually do get over to the doctor's lounge, I quickly move out of the view of the window. Robin is there. Her hand is on his knee. Shit. I have fucked up.
