Part 24

I hear a knock at the front door and lazily walk over to open it.

When I do, I am stunned by what I see.

"Hey." He smiles. "Happy almost Halloween."

"Conrad." I exhale.

"I know I'm not supposed to be here but, I'm here." He holds up a few lollipops. "I brought candy."

My face stays serious for a few moments.

"Do you want me to go?"

"No fucking way." I run over and wrap my arms around his waist, staying in the tight embrace for a few seconds, before pulling away.

"What are you doing here?" I giggle slightly.

"I wanted to see you."

"Yeah, but I thought, you couldn't." I don't finish my sentence.

"Yeah I know, I know, I know you were worried about Jere and I had a chance to talk to him, he's doing great, been going on a few dates you know."

"That's good for him." I nod. "So, he's over uh."

"I think he is."

We pause for a moment and just look at each other.

"Y/N, I don't think I could ever get over you." He laughs. "I mean I'm here and whenever I talk to you I am just happy and I gotta say, standing in front of you right now, it's torture not being able to kiss you."

I wrap my arms behind his neck and practically shove a kiss onto him.

I pull away for a second and grin, before going back to his lips.

"Wow."

"Indeed." He replies.

~~

I see my mum and Belly arguing through the window of my front door.

I can't handle this right now, so I get back into my car and carry on driving.

Another song begins playing.

'I still remember, the look on your face.'

Suddenly, I get a phone call.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Y/N, are you with Conrad?"

"Hi Jere, uh no sorry, why?"

"He's gone."

I pull over.

"What do you mean he's gone?"

"He's not answering my texts, calls, nothing."

"Since when?"

"Yesterday."

"Well maybe he pulled an all-nighter at the library."

"No, apparently he told his roommate that everything is fucked, and took off." He sighs. "I'm going to Brown tomorrow morning."

"Okay, but I'm coming with you."

~~

I receive a text, saying he's close.

I sneak out of the front door and wait for him. When his car pulls up, a big wide grin grows on my face.

"I can't believe you're here." I giggle, hopping in the seat.

"Me neither." Conrad laughs. "Didn't bring a coat?"

"Oh, I forgot but, I'm not cold."

Without speaking, he takes off his fleece and hands it to me.
