Riley's POV

We walked around the Arcade for several minutes trying to find the laser tag.

"Where the fuck is it," Jake asked. "Jake, you're 13. Language," I told him. But still, where the fuck is it? We turned a corner and ended up walking into a room with a long line. And when I say long, I mean LONG.

"I think this is it," I told Connor. "Why," He asked.

I pointed up at the sign. "Because it says so."

He nodded.

We walked into the arena, Connor and I on a team, and Jake on a team with this guy he met. I looked over at Connor, and he looked over at me. He winked,and I stifled a laugh.

"Okay, so you all know the rules probably, but im going to explain it anyway. If you get struck my someone's laser gun, you have lost a strike, and point. If you hit someone with your laser gun, you gain 2 points. You have five strikes, good luck," The manager told us. I nodded, and looked over at Connor.

"Okay, let's make a plan," I said as the buzzer went off. He nodded. "Split up," He told me. I smiled, and waved bye, then went off my own direction. I went down a hall, and heard talking.

"Your sister sure is hot," Said a voice I didn't recognize. "Yeah, I guess she's pretty." That's Jake.

"Too bad she's with that guy. What's his name... Cooper," The other guy asked. "Connor," Hake corrected, "and no, they aren't together. I have a feeling they would be together soon."

I smiled at the thought. The footsteps were getting closer, and I turned the corner real quick before they could see me. I took out my gun, and was ready to aim. I looked down the hall, to see them getting closer. That's when I tripped, and fell over.

"OW," I screamed. I landed on s sharp pipe, and my arm was bleeding. Jake gasped and ran over, while the other dude walked over slowly. I was on the verge of tears. Jake pulled up my arm, and started yelling for help. I just put my head on his shoulder, silently crying.

I know it's normally the little brother crying in the big sisters shoulder, but God didn't want that cheesy moment to happen. He wanted this to happen. "Connor," I weakly yelled. I was losing a lot of blood.

Connor then ran down the hall, with a worried look on his face. I held my good arm out for him, and pulled myself up from Jake. Connor grabbed hold of me, and pulled me into s big hug. I don't think he cared if blood was getting all over him.

My life then flashed before my eyes. One second Connor was hugging me, the next I was being pulled into an ambulance with Connor and Jake at my side. But the last thing I remember was Connor holding onto my hand and looking into my eyes saying, It'll be okay.

~~~~~

I woke up in a bed. An all too familiar bed, and saw thread in my arm. Stitches. I looked over to my side to see Connor on his phone, while Jake was doing his weekend homework.

"Guys," I said, getting their attention. "Oh! You're awake. You passed out when they started to work on your arm. That was about an hour ago," Jake said.

"Are you feeling okay," Connor asked, concern filling his voice. I nodded while fake smiling. "Peachy."

He sighed, and then grabbed my hand. Jake went back to doing his homework, and Connor scooted his chair closer to the bed. "When can we leave," I asked. "Whenever you want," Connor told me. I smiled.

~~~~~

I walked into my house holding Connors hand. We dropped Jake off at his friends house, Dylan, and came straight here. Connor walked into the living room, and sat down on the couch. I walked over and sat next to him.

"I'm tired," so said. He patted his lap, which meant for me to climb onto him. I did so, and hugged him.

"Thank you for everything, Connor," I told him. He looked up at me, and cocked his head. "What do you mean?"

"You help me with everything. The bullying, what happened when my mom died, with my brother, and now. I honestly don't know why I deserve someone like you," I said. He smiled.

I quickly looked back from his lips to his eyes. I started to slowly lean in, and then he crashed his lips onto mine. He softly grabbed the back on my neck, when I put my hands all the way around his neck.

Our lips moved together Like they were made for each other. Perfect sync. I smiled, and felt him smile too.

He slowly backed away, and looked into my eyes, waiting for an answer. I smiled and bit my lip.

"Well I guess you're tired," she said. I laughed. "Yeah, I'm tired," I said sitting up, but putting too much weight on my arm that got stitches, and screamed in pain. Connor quickly got up and grabbed onto me. He started kissing my arm to make it feel better. He then went all the way up my arm, still kissing it, and towards my neck. He found my sweet spot, and sucked on it. I moaned, and laughed.

He went further up, until he met my lips. He bit my lip for an entrance, and I gladly excepted. He stuck his tongue inside of my mouth, and explored.

I backed away, and quickly pecked his lips. He smiled up at me. Well, that was unexpected.

He then took me by surprise, and picked me up and carried me to my room. At least I don't have to walk.

He laid me on my bed, and kissed my cheek. "Night. I'll see you later, okay? Love ya," she said. I smiled. But... I'm lonely.

"Stay," I whispered. He looked back, "okay," He whispered. He got under the covers, and layed down. He then got onto his side, and I faced him.

He pulled me against him, where my head was nuzzled into his chest.

Goodnight Connor.
