One True Love

Chapter 8

Connor's Point of View:

I wake up and walk into the kitchen, still feeling as crappy as I did yesterday. My homemade Starbucks coffee starts brewing when there's a knock on the door. I open the door, only in sweatpants, and I find Sam, Ricky, Kian, Jc and Trevor there.

"Guys, what are you doing here?" I say rubbing my eyes.

"Ricky told us what happened and we came to make you feel better." Jc says.

I stare at Ricky, not wanting people to know about the worst day of my life.

"You'll thank me later." Ricky says, acknowledging me staring at him.

They all began to pile themselves in and take their spots in the living room.

"Sure, you can come in. Not like I wanted to be by myself today or anything." I say sarcastically.

"If you insist." Kian says, trying to be funny.

"Ugh," I say going back in the kitchen to get my coffee.

"So what do you want to do today?" Ricky asks.

"Really. You come to cheer me up and you don't even have anything planned out." I say.

"Well, we could of just thrown you into the pool, but that probably wouldn't be very nice." Ricky says.

I laugh a little at this, seeing as it does sound like something they would do.

A distant voice appears, not of its location yet.

"Actually, I got a little something something for you, if you're up to it." The voice says.

I turn around to find the fabulous JennxPenn standing in the doorway.

"Oh really?" I say

"Yea. I doubt you'll want to do it, only real men can handle it." Says Jenn.

"Well, I'm not sure how much manliness I have considering I'm gay but I think I can take it." I say.

"Ok, fine. Follow me then."

"You guys can chill out here, just don't break anything." I say to the boys.

"Kk." Ricky says.

I follow Jenn to her car.

"Once you're in, put on this blindfold." Jenn says.

"Uh...Why?" I ask.

"To make things more interesting." She says and smiles.

I put on the blindfold once I was in the car and comfortable. We drove for what seemed like forever. Then I hear the car stop and Jenn open her door. Then my door opened and Jenn leads me out of the car.

"Don't take off your blindfold off yet, just follow me." Jenn says.

"Ok, I'm trusting you here, don't screw it up." I say, a little nervous about what I'm going to find. We walk further away from the car then Jenn says

"Just a little further....and there!"

"Are we there? Can I take my blindfold off?" I ask.

She giggles and says yes. I talk off the blindfold and I figure out that I'm standing in of "The Mall of America."

"Oh my gosh, Jenn!"

" I know how much you love to shop so I thought I'd bring you to the biggest mall in America!"

"Oh my gosh, thank you so much Jenn!" I hug her and run inside. I hear Jenn yell behind to slow down but I just keep running.

*Two Hours Later*

We come out of the store and I literally have bags next to bags next to bags. Jenn gave me a debit card with about $250 dollars on it.

"I can't thank you enough for what you've done for me today Jenn. You are literally one of the bestest friends a person could have."

"No problem, that's what friend do for the people they care about. Hey it's only 4pm, wanna go get some Starbucks?"

"You know me so well." I say as I put all my bags into her car, luckily it has a big trunk.

We drive to Starbucks and of course, me being Connor, order a pumpkin spice latte with extra cream. Jenn orders a cotton candy frappe and we head home.
