Not Good Enough (James McVey/Connor Ball - Jonnor) (1/2)

Chapter 11 - A Kiss That Changed Everything

Connors POV:
I run up the stairs with someone shouting my name constantly. As I reach the top, I hold my stomach in pain and bend over. That was a bad idea, my stomach still hurts from the blow I took from that man. 'Connor?' I hear James behind me. He walks over to me and holds my back as I stand up straight again. 'What's wrong?' James asks noticing my tear stained eyes. 'Nothing' I reply looking at the floor.

James lifts my chin up and my eyes connect with his beautiful eyes. We both stare at each other for a few seconds and I start to feel myself lean in. James' eyes look at my lips and back to my eyes. Our lips get closer and closer until they are inches apart but then I stop and realise what I'm doing. I back away quickly 'I am so sorry James' I say panicking and breathing quickly. James looks at me worriedly, unsure of what to do. I feel my eyes watering again and I run past him and close my door before James could stop me.

I lean back on the door and slide down it, finally sitting down. I lean my head back and it thumps on the door. 'Connor?' I hear James again, but I don't reply. 'Connor?' He asks again worried. 'I-I'm f-fine' I manage to say and James sighs 'please open the door'. 'Can I-I just ha-have a mom-ment alone please?' I ask and I feel someone lean against the door 'I'm sorry Con, but please let me in'. I close my eyes and debate on whether I should or shouldn't. I stand up slowly and reach for the door handle, but stop and ask 'are you mad at me?'. 'Why would I be mad at you Con?' James asks through the door and I sigh 'because I went to kiss you'.

The door handle turns and I look up at the door and James walks in and closes the door behind him. I look back down at the floor 'I un-understand if I've ruined our fr-friendship'. James rolls his eyes 'Connor, you and me will always have a strong bond that no one will ever break'. I wipe my eyes and look at James. 'Hey now, don't cry Con' James walks up to me and wipes my tears away. 'S-sorry' I croak out and James wraps his arms around my shoulders and I snuggle into his embrace.

'Actually Con, there's just 1 thing I wanna ask you' James asks. I look up at him and he smiles. 'You may wanna sit down though' he laughs and I do. I sit down on the bed and James sits next to me. 'Ready?' He asks and I nod. Before I know it, James shocks me almost to death and connects his lips with mine.

Brads POV:
Me and Lauren pull up to the house with all the things needed in the back. As I hop out the car, I run round to Lauren's side and open the door for her. 'Thank you' she smiles, 'your welcome' I respond and she smiles again.

As we carry the things up to the house, I unlock the door and we carry everything into the kitchen. 'Connor?' I shout and I get no reply. I roll my eyes and Lauren laughs 'I bet he's gone for a nap'. I nod and smile 'I'm just gonna go and check that he is ok'. Lauren nods.

As I head up the stairs, I see his bedroom door is closed and I sigh. I hope he's ok. I knock on the door lightly and ask 'Connor, are you ok?'. I goes silent for a second. 'Yes thanks' Connor replies and I smile. 'You sure?', I wait for a reply. 'Yes thanks Brad' he replies.

I head back down to Lauren and smile when I notice that she has unpacked everything, 'thank you Lauren'. She smiles 'that's ok, also someone needs to wash their hands'. I look at her confused 'what do you mean? I have clean hands'. She looks at me confused 'oh, well who's is that mucky hand print then?'. Lauren points to the side of the counter and I look across and see a mucky hand print just like Lauren said. 'I don't think it'll be Connors as he said he is going to invite Joe and Dean around, so it must be Joe's or Dean's'. Lauren nods 'that's true'.

Connors POV:
As James and I are kissing, his hands begin to slide down to my waist and mine begin to move up and around his neck. We disconnect our lips and James leans his forehead against mine. 'Wow' James says breathlessly 'that was an extremely good kiss'. I don't reply, but continue to breath heavily. 'James, what was the question?' I ask slowly regaining my breath. 'Well, it was...' James begins before someone shouts up 'Connor, are you coming down?'. We both stop and I look at the door like a ghost had appeared 'erm... I'll be down in a second' I shout back.

I look back at James 'anyway, please continue'. James licks his lips and stares into my eyes 'would you like to be my boyfriend?' My jaw drops, James Daniel McVey just asked me to be his boyfriend. Am I dreaming? 'Connor?' James asks waving his hand in front of my shocked face. I smile the biggest smile I have probably done in ages and I find myself nodding at super speed.

Tristans POV:
I walk up to the front door and knock as loud as I can. But no answer. I sigh and roll my eyes, they are probably in the kitchen again nattering away. I decide to walk around the side of the house and into the back garden, but as I'm walking round the side, I see something wooden sticking out of the bushes. I put the bags down and walk over to the bush. I pull the bush open to see something I wouldn't expect. A baseball bat.
