Forever and Always (a Connor Franta Fanfic)

Chapter 3

So, we jammed out to whatever was on the radio for the ride to this unknown destination. I don't really care what's playing all I care about is being with Connor.

"Hey Con?" I asked him. I had just now re-named him Con. Welp I guess we've gotta hack into the hospital computer system and change his name to Con. I'm okay with that.

"Yeas?" He responded.

"Where the hell are you taking me?" I questioned as I looked out the windows to see no other cars on the road.

"Teehe," He giggled and looked over at me. Is it even humanly possible for guys to giggle? Well he just did so apparently it is. "It's a surprise." He said as focused his gaze back on the road.

"I barely know you! You could be an axe murderer." His smile grew wider as I said that.

He responded with, "Theres always that possibility,"

(A/N) YES THAT WAS COMPLETELY NECESSARY

I chuckled glad that he understood my reference and went along with it.

"WE HAVE ARRIVED!" He yelled at the top of his lungs and pretended to try and make a crowd settle down.

"BOW DOWN PEASANTS!" I yelled equally as loud.

I took in the scenery around me. We were parked at the edge of the road. A large field stretched out around us. At the edge of the field was a wide passage way leading into the trees.

He grabbed my hand and winked, "Just so you don't get lost, y'know." We both chuckled at his attempt to keep me safe from the monsters of the forest.

"Alright here we are," Connor exclaimed as we sat down on a small bridge, leading across a little stream. (The one in the picture.) "It's where I come to clear my thoughts," he continued.

"It's beautiful!" I practically yelled. I pulled out my white I phone 4 and started taking pics for my tumblr because, y'know that's what you do when you see a cool place. The reason I still have the I phone 4 is because my dad uses all the money on purchasing alcohol. The money I use for getting food is the $3,000 my mom had left before she killed herself. She told me to use it wisely because it may be all I can get.

Connor waved his hand in front of my face. "Hellooo? Earth to Hooope!"

I quickly snapped out of my thoughts and saw his piercing green eyes staring into mine. I was startled at first, "Oh! Hey there Con."

"Okay, we need to get to know each other better. I will ask you a question then you ask me one. Sounds good? Okay." He moved so he was right in front of me.

"Okey. Uhm..." Then I remembered all the notifications he was getting earlier. "Are you like famous or something?" I said with a chuckle.

He grinned at me evily. "Well... If you consider 4.5 million youtube subscribers famous then I guess yeah,"

"Woah Con that's insane!" I exclaimed. "Is that why you get so many Twitter and Instagram notifications?" I asked.

"No, I'm actually Niall Horan, and everyone's tweeting me about my obsession with touching random peoples ear hair in the streets of San Fransisco. No shit that's why." He laughed and I playfully punched his arm. He lightly punched me back. I winced as he did. Ugh dad. His eyes filled with concern and the usual bright green turned into a duller, more gray green.

"I'm so sorry! Are you okay? Can I see? What can I do to help? Do you need a hug?" He bombarded me with questions. Instead of answering him I just wrapped my thin arms around his warm body and nuzzled my head into his Nutella scented chest. He quickly hugged me back and stroked my long ombré hair.

After a little while, I pulled away from the hug and the cold air instantly froze my skin again. I pulled up my sleeve and showed Connor the purple bruise on my upper arm. "M-My dad," I said before I burst out into tears.

Connor instantly pulled me into his warm embrace and whispered caring things into my ear. "Shhh it's okay, it's alright, don't cry."

I looked up and smiled at him. He grinned back until I remembered something. I am going to have to go back to my Dad. I feel discusting even calling him that. I'm going to have to leave Con and he's gonna never even think about me again. He just pity's me. He only stays with me because he feels bad about me breaking out crying in starbucks. I moved out of Connors arms and the cold instantly hit me but I don't care.

"Hope? What's wrong?" He asked with a look of concern on his face. Ah who am I kidding, he doesn't care.

"Nothing. Why would anything be wrong?!" I snapped at him. His facial expression turned to pure sadness.

"Hope, you're crying. You just got mad at me. Something's wrong." It wasn't until then I noticed the tears streaming down my cheeks.

"I'm so sorry. I have to go. I'm sorry for wasting your time. Sorry for pouring my problems out on you. Sorry for making you take me here. Sorry for everything." And with that I stood up and started walking back down to the wide passage way through the woods. Only this time it looked 10x scarier. I considered running back there and curling up in Connors arms and crying again. But I couldn't do that to him.

"Hope wait!" Connor yelled before I could even take my third step. he ran up to my side and embraced me. I tried to pull away from the hug but my mind wouldn't let me. He pulled away from the hug and looked into my eyes. I admired his piercing green eyes. All the little flecks of blue and gold, running through the green like a river. He glanced down at my lips and back up to my eyes again. Before I knew it I felt his soft lips on mine. I kissed back, letting my mind control my actions. I quickly forgot about everything but Connor. Thoughts of you-know-who ran out of my head. The bullies had left. My mom. Nikki. Sean. Everyone. I was the first to pull away.

"Connor. I have to get home to my dad. I don't want to but I have to. I would much rather spend the day here with you but I can't. I know he's going to beat me, but there's no way I can escape him." I glanced down at my shoes, they had become much more interesting in the past few seconds.

"Hope. You don't have to go home. You can come home with me. Never go back there. You know my YouTube channel? Yeah I also have a collaboration channel with 5 other guys. We all live in a house together. They won't mind at all if you stay with us. C'mon Hope. and I know for sure none of us would ever hurt you." He asked hopefully.

I smiled and wrapped my arms around his neck. I started to lean in and he closed his eyes. "YES!" I screamed in his face before running down the wide path leading back to the field. He quickly chased after me.

(IN THE CAR GOING ON A TRIP IN THEIR FAVORITE ROCKET SHIP)

"Wait Con? I don't even know your roommates. What are their names? What do they like? GIVE ME THE DEETS!"

"You'll figure out when you meet them, c'mon were here." He exclaimed as he got out of the car and quickly walked over to my side. He opened the door and picked me up bridal style.
