Chapter 11:

After everyone sat down, got a drink, ate some, used the bathroom, they grabbed blankets and covered themselves up, including my brothers and their friends. While I was telling the story, no one interrupted, no one asked questions, because in the end, I explained it all. All my tactics, the reasons for everything I did then, and am doing now. The only reason I remembered that, was because it was one of the biggest events in my life that made everything tie together, and I could never forget that. No one would let me, especially

myself.

They were actually very respecting during my story, and they weren't rude at all. So I told them everything, and this is what I told them:

Conner, he was the one who got in between Zayn and I. We were not getting along very well without him, and Conner just added to it. We were fighting about whether or not our love was real, and when things were just getting better, he came back into our lives.

"Ember! Ember Brooks! Man, am I glad to see you!" He ran up to me and hugged me, and I had no idea who he was at the time.

"Haha, ya! But um, who......who are you?" I asked. He looked at me, disappointed. And of course, just then, Zayn came back from getting us coffee, and he practically wasting the money he spent on the coffee by dropping it.

"Conner..." He simply said.

"Zayn..." Conner exchanged.

"Wait, you know him?" Zayn sighed.

"Ember, we both know him. Re-meet your ex boyfriend, Conner Cames." I stared at Conner, not believing who I was looking at, that he was my ex, that I used to love him. Then I remembered. I remembered him and our relationship, Cassii, Conner, the new kid Zayn, and everyone and the main events from that time. I put together the unimportant events by myself, but that one memory of Conner, Cassii, the new kid, I just was so, so, guilty. I felt terribly guilty. So guilty that I broke up with Conner for Zayn. So, so guilty.

"Conner...." He looked at me, and his face brightened.

"I'm so sorry." He looked sadder then, and I felt even more guilty.

"What are you doing?" Zayn whispered in my ear.

"Making something right." I whispered back. I stepped closer to Conner, and started to apologize.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I traded you for Zayn, I'm sorry that after, I lead you on. I'm sorry that Cassii was killed trying to protect you, while you were trying to protect me. It's my fault that someone you loved, and helped you move on from me, and someone who loved you, died when you just started a relationship. So generally, I'm sorry." He was about to cry at the thought of Cassii dying, again. And I felt for him. I was the reason she died. I was risking my life for the ones I loved, I was letting myself die for the protection of others, because I didn't want anybody else's life to be gone. But of course, Conner protected me, and Cassii, loving Conner, protected him. And she died. She was shot straight in the heart, and died. She died in his arms, him crying over her. Crying on her.

Conner being Conner, he still wasn't over me. The reason I could tell, he kissed me. And my mistake? I kissed back. I felt everything that we had together before, and I latched onto him, like one of those sucker fishes that stick to the walls of a fish tank. I kissed back, first gently, then with both pressures, violently. It was amazing, and I completely forgot about Zayn, whom I still loved then.
