Midnight Fantasies

Chapter 5

Connor's POV

After Damon dropped me off at home yesterday I've just been pacing around my apartment trying to figure out my best friend. She's kept so much from me, but it's none of my business if I'm going to be honest. But I'm also nosy as hell and will try to figure everything out. I stop pacing when I hear a knock at my front door, I move towards the door and open it up to find Noah and Knox stood there. "Hello." I say and step back to let them into my apartment. "Hello Con. How's it going? I'm surprised you aren't with Eld." I shrug, "I called about her like an hour ago and the doctors said that she's not taking visitors at the moment." They both nod and we all sit down.

"What's on your mind?" I look at Knox, "what do you mean?" He leans forwards and puts his face in his hand, "every time something is on your mind your pupils dilate and you start messing with the sleeves on your shirt." I shrug and lean back in the chair in my living room. "Just someone that showed up after Damon and I left Elda yesterday. I'm confused. Has she ever mentioned a significant other?" They look at each other confused and shake their heads, "no she hasn't said anything to us about a partner. We never see her with anyone at the club either. Always keeping away from people that find interest in her. She's always been like that though. She never mixes her personal life with her business life."

I nod in understanding, "but she never says anything about a partner to me or Damon. Hell Dawn probably doesn't even know. Although they do live together. Maybe she does know something." I hum and start trying to think about anything suspicious with Elda in the past few months. Years even. I remember how she would always look at her phone sometimes and leave shortly after. But Dawn didn't know anything. Unless she's pretending to not know and trying to make sure I and others don't know about it.

I sigh and put my head on my hands, "I'm so confused about all of this. But it's none of my business so I shouldn't be worried. But she's my best friend, so of course I'm going to be worried. We've been best friends forever now." They both nod, "I'm sure if you just ask her about it after she's out of the hospital she'll tell you. I mean you're just concerned for her." Noah says making a point. I nod and look over at him, "yeah that makes sense. I mean what's the worst that can happen?" We all laugh about it and I sink more into the chair and look at my tv that's just been playing quietly.

"You guys wanna watch a movie?" Knox jumps up, "I'll get snacks!" He shouts and runs out of the room towards my kitchen. I look over at Noah, "you decide on the movie." He nods and grabs the remote. As he finds a movie on Netflix I pull my phone out, as it had buzzed a few minutes ago and I just couldn't be bothered to get the thing out of my pocket.

Big D: Hey you busy Con?

Me: With Noah and Knox at my place. Why?

Big D: Okay. Can I come over and join you guys?

Me: Yeah of course!

I set my phone on the side table and look up to see Knox coming out of my kitchen with just about every single food item I own. I frown at him, "it's all I could find. You have a lot of healthy shit in your fridge and I want to indulge on my darkest desires." I roll my eyes, "well unlike you I have a slower metabolism. So I can't just eat whatever I want." Knox's eye widen and he drops all of the snacks on the coffee table, "no, no, no, shit Con I'm so sorry." He drops down on his knees and grabs my hands, "I'm so sorry. I didn't mean it like that." I shake my head, "it's okay I know what you meant." He shakes his head, "no I shouldn't have made that comment. I know how are you are with you body. I am so sorry." I smile and wrap my arms around him to shut him up, "I said it's okay."

We let go of each other and he goes back to sitting next to Noah. We all got situated and about ten minutes into the movie a knock sounds throughout the apartment. Knox and Noah both look over at me with wide eyes, "no don't answer it! What of it's a murderer?" Knox says and hold onto Noah tighter. I frown, "I doubt it." Noah shakes his head, "don't answer it! Take a bat or something." I roll my eyes, "not all of us have bats laying around our places." I move closer towards the door as another round of knocks comes down on the door.
