Old Friend New Lover | Conan Gray

Chapter 3- I know A Place

May- 12th 2017
I wake up to my phone ringing and notice it's Conan calling me but, I ignore it not wanting to pick up because I've been feeling weird lately whenever I'm with him not a bad weird just a confused weird. I know there's no way I could possibly like him we've been friends for a while now and I know I've always thought he was attractive  but, things feel different now. I hear a knock on the door remembering we live right next door to each other.

I get up to answer the door in one of his hoodies I stole during one of our sleepovers at his house. Hi cone what's up? "I just.. well you always answer so I guess I got worried it's silly I know but, here I am he says with a laugh" Well that's sweet come in how are you this lovely crisp morning I say sarcastically? "Well I know this cute little place... its real quiet I and I like to write songs there... so I thought why not bring you he says with a small smile".

That's sweet cone I'd love to.. we gonna write some songs together I say jokingly? "Only if you really want to he says as his eyes light up". Well then I say yes let's write a song or two. I get dressed letting Conan relax a bit before we leave. Hey cone remember we're going out with rae and cal for dinner tomorrow night... excited? "You know it I can't pass up a free dinner". Hey not funny cone I say as I throw a pillow at him. "I'm kidding, I'm kidding he says as he holds his hands up in defense". "I'm excited syd... you know I love you guys".

I know I say as I pull him into a side hug bringing him out to his car so he can take me off to his secret
place. I'm surprised you haven't told me about this place yet. "Ha haha that's the point it's a secret". Alright buddy calm down I say jokingly. "How's school been you never tell me about it anymore he says with a chuckle"? Well it sucks I hate pretty much everyone there and I'm still trying to convince my parents to not force me into a collage... its just not for me and I know that. I just know I'll hate it. "Hey who knows maybe you'll actually love it syd- humans can be very unpredictable". Pfft please I know what I wanna do I say looking out my window. "Really... what"? Music cone I know a pipe dream but, I really want to and knowing your parents think it's stupid sucks.

"Sorry syd he says as he rubs my knee in comfort". I pat his hand and pull away running a hand through my messy curls. We're here... wait lemme get your door". Oh what a gentleman I say as I giggle lightly. I take my hand in his and let him guide me farther into his secret writing place.

Wow this place is beautiful cone... thank you for showing me. "Of course I knew you'd love it and... well I knew you needed a getaway so here's your personal getaway from yours truly.

We take out our song books and we come up with a song called heartache avenue.

Verse-2
(I sit up and look at the stars just like we used to only my heart feels a little more empty. I miss the way your hair fell effortlessly in your face. I miss when things were so simple it seemed so unreal. walking down heartache avenue feels like a chore now and love just don't feel the same knowing your not here next to me anymore.

"Wow that's so beautiful syd I'd love to sing this whole song with you one day he jokes". I'll hold you to it cone I say with red dusted across my cheeks I'm sure feeling that weird feeling again. I only notice I'm staring when Conan asks if he had something on his face. I take the opportunity to wipe his cheek despite nothing being there.

"What was there he asked a little worried"? Oh nothing just some fluff cutie. He blushes and looks back down at our song we just finished. "Thank you he mumbles". No problem I say as stomach started growling. I lay on my back and start giggling uncontrollably. Sorry cone I say still giggling. "Its ok he says with a laugh laying on his back as well".

"So I'm guessing you're hungry whatcha wanna eat babe"? Oh anything is fine I haven't eaten anything yet today so I'm up for anything. I felt my phone buzz I see my mom texted to call her. I exsused myself to cones car.
I call my mom and she immediately hits me with all these questions. "Where are you"? "Are you with Conan again"? "Have you been looking at colleges yet?
I'm with Conan yes and no I haven't been looking at any collages mom I to!d you I'm making no plans to go collage. "First of all where are you I'm not asking again"?
I'm going to a restaurant with Conan I don't know where yet I say with sigh. "And we've been through this before you're going to college don't be ridiculous.

Conan gets in the car and puts all our stuff in the back seat. I quickly tell my mom I love her and and hang up the phone. "Everything ok he asks me with a slight worried look on his face"? Yeah I'm fine don't worry it was just my mom worrying about me as per usual I say laughing hoping to convince him I'm ok, knowing he knows me like his favorite book at this point.
"Hmm alright but, remember I'm always here to talk to syd". I know cone thank you so much I say as I pat his knee.

We drive up to Conans favorite cafe which soon became my favorite cafe as well being that we were always there. We both ordered our usuals and sat down talking about absolutely anything that came to mind. I look down at Conans wrist remembering the bracelet I gave him when we first met. He notices my gaze and he shocks me with what he says next. "Oh I almost forgot". He goes through his handy backpack and takes out a box and inside is the cutest necklace quite possibly ever. "I saw it and, knew I had to get it for you he says with a shy smile".

"Do you like it he asks worried I wouldn't"?
Conan I love it thank you- you really didn't have to cone.
"Hey I wanted to it reminded me of you and I wanted to as a gift back for this bracelet". "I practically never take it off". Well I'm never talking this off it's beautiful thank you again cone. "May I he asks as he hints at putting it on for me"? Go right ahead I say with a giggle letting him sit beside me to put it on for me. He gently places my hair to the side and clips it letting it fall softly against my chest. "Here look my way as he places my hair back in place". "Oh it's beautiful syd... you look beautiful". Thank you I say as I feel my cheeks heating up once again as I look down and play with my fingers. I give him a side glance and kiss his cheek.

He moves back to his seat and holds his face in his hands and says well.. I'm glad you love it I was worried". Oh I don't think you ever have to worry about shopping for me I love everything I say with a laugh. Our food arrives and we start eating continuing our conversations on whatever pops into our heads.

After we're done eating he opens the door and car door for me and drives me back home. He walks me up to my doorstep. "So I'll meet you at midnight on my roof right he asks whispering"? Right... sorry my parents suck cone. "Hey don't worry at least we get to see the pretty sunset". Ok I'll see you in few hours I say swinging his hand back and forth a little till he stops to kisss me on my head and waves goodbye. Until we meet again it was beautiful.
