Chapter 3

*Connor's POV*

It was Monday. I went back into my room. I put on my happy face and started my main channel video. I didn't have a plan, so I just rambled on about YouTube's new layout and trending videos. After I was done, I took my time editing it.

I heard a soft knock on the door.

"Come in," I grunted.

"Hey, Ricky called me. He said you're not picking up. Anyways, he wants to know if he can come visit this week," Talia said softly as if she was afraid of me.

Oh, no, what did I do last night? "Uh, sure. I guess."

She turned to leave. I called after her, "hey, Tal?"

"Yes?" She replied expectantly.

"It's okay with you, right?" I smiled.

"Of course, I've missed Ricky... and Sober Connor," she smiled.

I got up and hugged her. Like I said, I'm trying to make things better.

"Well, I'm going to call Ricky back." She replied.

I let go of her, "Right, of course."

*Talia's POV*

"Hey, Rick!" I said into the phone after he answered.

"What did he say?" He said barely containing his excitement.

"He said it was fine. When are you coming?" I asked.

"Uh, Wednesday? Is that good? It gives me time to pack."

"Sounds great. I'll let Connor know. We've missed you, Ricky!!" I let the smile show through my voice.

"I've missed you guys too!! Well, I gotta go pack and purchase an airline ticket!"

"Bye, Ricky." I hung up and went back to the bedroom that Connor and I share.

I sat on the bed until he realized I was there.

"Hey, what'd he say?" He asked not looking up.

"Uh, he said he'd be here on Wednesday," I got quiet.

"About last night..." He started. Oh no! He's going to ask what happened. I don't want to tell him.

"What happened?" He finished and turned around.

"Oh," I tried to cover the bruise on my left arm, "I told you, the usual."

"No, I must've done something else, you seem scared. You've never been scared of me before." Then he noticed my hand awkwardly placed on my arm, covering the bruise. He got up and stood in front of me. I flinched as knelt and placed a hand over mine, gently removing it revealing the bruise.

His eyes got wide and he looked into my eyes, "Did I do this to you?" He was tearing up.

I couldn't lie to him. I just nodded and put my head down. I felt a tear drop on my thigh, but it wasn't mine.

I looked up to see Connor crying, "I'm so sorry, Talia. I didn't mean to. I swear. It will never happen again, do you understand?"

"It's okay, I forgive you." I wiped away his tears and hugged him tightly.
