'That Night' (Conor Maynard Fanfic)

Part nine... "Got the money?"

I looked at my phone, it was from dad.

“I can’t read it” I said with tears building up. Conor took my phone and read out the message

“All you have to do is give me £2,000 and you’ll get your friends back. Then after the court hearing you’ll get your money back. Simple as, but no money equals no more friends.” Conor read, I fell to the ground in shock, how could my own father be so cruel. Conor knelt down comforting me, he help me up and sat down on the sofa.

“I’ll be back soon with the money,” Conor said in my ear,

“NO, I can’t let you do that he’s my dad and by the looks of thing anything could happen” I said stubbornly not letting him pay my dad a ‘get out of jail card’.

“what about half, then that way I won’t feel so bad” Conor replied.

“Okay, but don’t go yet, I need you” we walked up stairs and I got changed as we was still at Alex’s, I suggested that we go back to mine and have a shower, then get the money.

I text dad back saying *I’ll get you your money. Where and when.* 

I opened the door to see mum in the kitchen reading a magazine, just like before, I smiled from ear to ear. Things between me and mum were getting back to normal,

“Heya mum, we’re going to get showered then going out again,” I shouted while walking up stairs. Half of Conor’s clothes were at mine, and half of mine was at his, I liked that. Like he was half of me where ever I stay! We took turns to have a shower and get changed, we was finally ready!

“Rhea, I got you a new top for you court hearing on Thursday, and to say how proud I am of you,” Mum said when I picked up my keys, she showed me the most gorgeous red blouse,

“Mum, that’s gorgeous, thank you so much!” I pulled her in for a massive hug.

“I try it on later, we can have a girly night in? I got to go, something important we’ve got to do” I looked at Conor, his eyes full of fear, "Bye" I said before I shut the door.

“Aw, that’s sweet, ‘girly night in’” Conor mimicked, I pushed him and he grabbed me, and kissed me softly. His lips are my drug. 

We had both got £1,000 each out. I still hadn’t got a text from my dad, so we went back to Conor’s, as he hasn’t seen them in a while. Once we got to Conor’s I ran upstairs and hid the money. As I came out of Conor’s room, Anna was standing at the top of the stairs,

“Rheaa! I haven’t seen you in ages, I miss you!”

'aww, that’s so cute' I thought. I hadn't really seen much of Anna, but I see her as my little sister, “I miss you too Anna. Nice to see you again!” we went down stairs and joined every one else.

We talked about things, what we have been doing, they had heard about what happened and the court hearing and said they would be there for support. Trying to act as normal as possible, but it was impossible, the thought of my closest friends have been kidnapped by my own father, this was all my fault. I could have stopped this, but then again, how? I wasn't the one who goes around rapping drunk girls! I was starting it get annoyed with my self, Conor noticed and took my hand and gave it a little squeze, I looked up at him and smiled. He was rubbing the back of my hand with his thumb whiched calmed me down.

My phone buzzed and my face dropped as soon as I saw it was from dad, Conor looked at my phone in my hand.

“Rhea, do you want a drink? any one else?” He asked and I took the hint to go with him into the kitchen to make his mum and dad a cup of tea.
