Its still a metaphor

I AM SO SORRY I HAVENT UPDATED IN SO LONG I HAVE BEEN SUPER BUSY WITH COLLEGE WORK SO UPDATES MAY BECOME A BIT MORE IRREGULAR BECAUSE I WILL JUST WRITE A CHAPTER WHEN I CAN BUT I LOVE YOU GUYS STAY AWESOME ~ Owen

JUDES POV

Lena told me something had happened with Connor and his dad and that she needed to leave immediately to come pick him up.

"He's probably going to need his best friend Jude" I nod, grab my jacket and head out the door followed by Lena.

As soon as I get in the car I start to fidget with whatever I can get my hands on. Last night had been perfect, it was the first time me and Connor had ever had sex and I couldn't have asked for it to be any better. I love Connor and I can't... No I won't live without him. I can feel my anger raise, my checks grew red and my hands clenched up. I felt Lena place a hand on my shoulder.

"Jude it's going to be okay... We won't let anything happen to Connor. Ever." She starts the car and we arrive at Connors house. Before the car has even stopped I opened the door and ran up to the door. It was left unlocked and I went straight to looking for my boyfriend.

"Connor?" I shout, I hear a weak response.

"Jude?" It was followed by soft sobs but just enough so I could hear. Tears started to form in my own eyes and I continued the search. Finally I looked in his dad's room and found Connor on the floor. He was a total mess, his hair was all about the place and he was crying uncontrollably. He had something held to his heart as if he were cuddling it. He rocked back and forth trying to consoled himself. I rushed over to him and sat right beside him and brought him into a harsh embrace. I stroked my hands through his head and repeated:

"It's all going to be okay Connor" mixed in with the occasional "I love you"

He slowly brought the item he held away from his chest, enough for me to see it was a picture of him and his dad when Connor was young. Connor was in his Padres kit, obviously at one of their games. His dad had Connor on his shoulders and was carrying him proudly. It looked like it carried a lot of memories. Suddenly Connor threw the photo across the room smashing it as it hit the wall. Then he returned my hug and cried onto my shoulder. Then I remember something that Connor said to me once, I thought it might help lighten the mood.

"You know a shoulder to cry on is meant to be metaphorical" I feel him chuckle lightly between sobs. He brings his head up and simply says...

CONNORS POV

"I love you" love didn't even begin to describe what I felt to Jude. I cared for him more than that but no words could ever pin it down. He always knew just what to say and when to say it. He lifts my head with his hand by my chin.

"Hey, do you wanna get out of here?" He says whilst wiping away my tears. I nod in response. Then he takes my hand and leads me outside. Lena is sat in the drivers seat of the door and me and Jude take the back seats sitting as close to each other as possible without Jude sitting on my lap. Not that would have complained...

"Are you okay Connor?"

"All I want to do right now was go home, put on my pyjamas and...." Wait. Did I just call their home my home? I couldn't blame myself. With all the support and love I received from the Adams foster family it's hard not to consider them as part of my family. But I still hid my head in embarrassment but Jude countered.

"Hey don't look so sad! Our home IS your home." I saw Lena smile sweetly at Judes words.

"He's right Connor... It's just much your home as it is Judes. You will always be welcome here!"

I couldn't help but smile at their words. They made me feel so... So... Accepted. And that wasn't something I was used to. But soon my smile began to shake and I could feel tears in my eyes start to surface. I turned so Jude couldn't see but a single tear rolled down my cheek. But not of anger or sadness but pure happiness.

The car stopped and we went inside. Me and Jude went straight upstairs and Jude locked himself in the bathroom as quickly as he could.

"Jude? What are you doing?"I ask intrigued

"Slipping into something a little bit more comfortable" he teased.

When he opened the door I had never seen something so sexy in my life. He leaned on the door frame in a jokey fashion but he had never looked so appealing in this entire relationship. Jude wore a set of clean, washed, long and matching pyjamas. My mouth dropped.

"I still have a pair of yours if you would care to get changed" he winked. I quickly got changed and found Jude already in his bed. He had his back turned on me so I slipped in behind him and snaked my hand over his waist and onto his stomach. He entwined out hands and we feel asleep warm and in love.
