School Friday went by in a blast. Connor wasn't in lunch though. He had detention. So, it was just me, lace,and Trevor. At the end of the day Connor was waiting outside my locker for me. He said nothing. He took my books. And grabbed my bag. He took me by the hand and walked outside with me. We said nothing to each other the whole walk home. Just walked with our fingers intertwined. We got to his house. He never said one thing, nor let go of me. He just guided me upstairs to his room I was assuming. He ripped the cardigan I had on off and grabbed my wrist. He just stared at them for what seems like forever. Just looked at them. He kissed the cuts on my wrists. He wrapped his arms around me. And just held me. Then he let go. Still saying nothing. He took his hoodie off. And showed me his left wrist. I held it. It was worse than mine. I just wanted to hold him and cry. So that's what I did. I wrapped my arms around him he wrapped his arms around me and we just cried together. He took my wrist. And the first thing he had said to me all day was. "Promise. Promise me right now. That you won't cut. If you don't I cut. The same amount of cuts you cut. And if you think you can hide them you can't. I won't let you. We can do this together. No more hurting ourselves. When you hurt yourself it hurts me, talia. You really have some people who care about you. Now you have to care about yourself." I collapsed into his lap again. I took his wrist. And I kissed it in return. " I promise. But, you have to do the same. Or it's invalid." I whispered with my face buried into his chest. " I promise. I promise, talia. I promise to love you unconditionally. And always stay by your side. Until the day you die. I'll stay by your side. And that's a promise." He kissed my forehead. We sat cradling each other for about twenty minutes before I fell asleep In His arms. When we woke up. Connor was still right next to me. "Good morning sunshine." He smirked and leaned in to kiss my cheek. " Shudddddup" I giggled. We walked downstairs and made pancakes. And then we watched the notebook. At that point I didn't want to leave. So,I told Stacey that I was staying at Lacey's again. I felt bad for lying. But, I didn't want to leave. Their was something about Connor James that really struck me. I don't know what it was, I don't know why it did, but it was there. And I had no intentions of making it go away. That night we fell asleep in each others arms. I had never felt so at home. The next morning. I woke up In Connors bed. I didn't know where he was. So I just checked my phone. I had 15 texts from Lacey!" Are you with Connor?! Did you spend the night?! Natalia chastity Rose. Answer me! " god Lacey, I didn't get raped calm down. " Lace, I'm fine! Yes. I'm it's Connor, yes I spent the night, no nothing happened I'm alive. Calm down." Connor came upstairs right after I locked my screen. " good morning. Did you sleep okay?" He came and laid next to me. " I slept wonderfully. You're a great sense of warmth." I smirked and giggled. "Let s get you some breakfast so I can bring you back to Lacey before she files an amber already." He nudged me and we went downstairs. After we ate. I changed and we left. I was really sad when he left me at Lacey's. I knew I had something with Connor James. But, I wasn't sure what.
