Love Is Just a Word

Chapter Six: Coming Out

Connor's P.O.V

I clicked the 'select' button on the remote to continue an episode of Family Guy as all the guys finished wiping their eyes. We just got done watching Marley and Me, and yes, it is okay for six guys to watch a movie like that at 10:00 at night.

I sat up straight on the couch, causing Jc's arm to fall off of my shoulder. He pouted before getting up to go get more popcorn.

I looked around at everyone and saw that they were still red eyed. That's good, maybe this way if they don't accept the news and I end up going up to my room crying, Zoe won't come out think something bad happened. I can just tell her we watched a sad movie and I needed a second to breathe.

That sounds really stupid oh my God. I shifted uncomfortably in my seat, causing Sam and Kian to look at me.

"Hey, you okay?" Sam asked, concern in his red eyes.

I should tell them right now.

"Uh, y-yeah. I-I'm fine." I stuttered. Damn it.

"Dude, seriously what's up?" Ricky jumped in.

It's now or never.

"Okay, um, I need to tell you guys something." I spoke quietly as Jc came back in with two fresh bowls of popcorn.

"Of course, you can tell us anything." Trevor smiled reassuringly at me.

I took a deep breath before closing my eyes. Why was this so nerve wracking? Maybe because this is the moment if I find out these guys are going to hate me or never want to talk to me again. None of them are against it, so I have no idea what's wrong with me.

"Connor." Kian pushed me lightly. My head snapped up as they all states into my eyes at once.

Just say it Connor.

"I'm gay." That couldn't have come out any more subtle.

I searched their faces or any reaction or hate, but they just smiled.

"Is that why you've been so jumpy lately? You got a little boy toy?" Jc winked, poking me in the side causing me to laugh.

"I-I've just been afraid that you guys were gonna be mad at me or hate me or something." I blushed slightly.

"We'd never hate you, dude. No matter what. We're not just best friends, we're all brothers." Sam smiled.

"Quit crying and come over here for a hug." Ricky laughed.

I put my hand to my cheek and felt a wet spot. How did I not notice that oh my god. I shook my head and laughed before scooting over for a group hug, everyone piling on top of one another.

"So does Zoe know?" Trevor asked.

"Uh, no, actually. I've been afraid to tell her too for some reason." I chuckled as we all pulled apart.

"Go tell her now then!" Kian yelled at me.

"Be quite! I will." I stood up and started walking towards the stairs before we all heard water ruining upstairs.

"Shower. I'll have to wait until she's done." I smiled proudly at my note I left to her in the cabinet.

A/N: okay 1 I'm not sure if anyone thinks this but this is not a Connor fan fiction. I haven't gotten to the romance yet so ha sorry!

Okay this was a filler chapter because this is all I could think of at the time.

And finally, I know some things may not be accurate because Connor came out before Trevor dyed his hair but I LITERALLY just thought about that so I apologize. And if anything else isn't accurate in the future I just want to apologize in advanced! Thank you for reading!!
