The next day at VidCon, I decided to look around for Joey and I finally found him!
"Uhm, h-hi Joey" I said shyly
"Oh my goodness-gracianiyas your Connors girlfriend."
"Yup" I said feeling more confident talking to my favorite youtuber (other than Connor)
"Well hello there, what can I do for ya?"
"Um, can we get a picture together?"
"Sure" he said with his amazing smile.
After we took a few pictures I went back to Connor and sat next to him in my original chair that I left.
"N-No way!" One girl shouted
"You're Peyton! You're really here? Oh my gosh! You're like so pretty and perfect and amazing and you and Connor should be together because your just perfect and he's perfect an when you put 2 perfect people together they make perfect babies." She rambled and I couldn't help but laugh.
"Thank you! You're pretty yourself and I'm not perfect. But thank you anyway!" I said
"Can we get a picture? And can you sign my phone?"
"Sure!" I stood up out of my chair and handed Connor the girls phone to take the picture. When I heard the shutter I took her phone an signed the back. We took a few selfies and then she moved her way down the table to the rest of O2L including Andrea and Jenn.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"So... FroYo?" Kian asked.
"Yea!" We all chanted.
Jenn, Andrea, Kian, Ricky, Jc, Trevor and Sam all penny boarded to the FroYo place while Connor and I walked behind.
"Peyton?" He asked me. Shyness in his voice.
"Yea?" I said making direct eye contact while we walked with our fingers intertwined.
"I love you"
"I love you too baby" I said burying my head into his body as his hand released grasp of my hand and was soon placed around my waist to comfort me.
A breeze soon hit over us in the streets of California.
"You cold?" He asked
"Nah" I lied.
"C'mon" he said crouching down so I could hop onto his back.
I climbed onto his back, my arms dangling around his neck as my legs were straddling him and they fell lifeless around his waist.
"You don't have to carry me. Why are you carrying me anyway?"
"Because your my girlfriend and I love you."
He was so sweet. Sometimes he was too sweet an I just wanted to punch him in the face, but I didn't.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Ew Jc why do you not fill up your cup all the way?" Jenn asked Jc.
"I don't know that's how I like it."


After eating our FroYo everyone penny boarded back to the hotel, except Connor and I once again.
"C'mere" he spoke just loud enough so I could hear him.
Without saying a word I inched closer to Connor stepping off the curb I was previously on into the street next to him.
"Lets go this way." He spoke pointing towards an alley-way with his free hand.
"But Connor it's like 12:00am and you could never know what's in the there and-" I was cut of by his amazing lips pressed against mine.
"I'll protect you.' He stated as he pulled away.

**********

We traveled through the long dark alley-way for minutes, which seemed like hours.
"Connor I wanna go home. I'm tired and we have to be up early tomorrow."
"C'mon." He said bending down so he could give me a piggy-back ride.
"Love you." I said letting my head fall onto his shoulder.
"Love you too." He spoke. It was the last thing I remembered before I fell asleep.

******

I woke up the next morning in my underwear and one of Connor's t-shirts with Connors arm latched around my waist.
"Connor?"
"Yea baby?"
"Let go of me!" I spoke dragging the 'e' and trying to lift Connors arm off me.
"Sorry." He said pulling me in closer to him tightening his grip on me.
"I hate you" I said sticking my tongue out at him.
"I'm sorry." He said with a pouting face. I couldn't help but giggle and cup his face into my hands and kiss him.
"Love you." He teased tapping my nose.
"Love you too"
After I said that Connor released his grip on me getting out of the bed and I couldn't help but stare at his toned fit muscular chest.
"Stare much?" He teased.
"Shut up." I played standing I front of his tippy-toeing to his height.
He slung his head down and placed his lips onto mine again. I threw my arms around his neck as he put his firmly
around my waist holding me close to him. His tongue slid across my bottom lip pleading for entrance, and of course I let him. His tongue explore my mouth as we were rudely interrupted by Kian.
"Get a room." He shouted
"We're in a room." I teased back.
"Shut up" he murmured playfully before walking away.
Before I knew it I was picked up by Connor like a child would be. My arms were grasped around his neck and my legs dangled around his waist as we walked down stairs to the kitchen.
"Lets get Starbucks" I whispered into Connors ear.
"Ok baby" he whispered back walking back upstairs placing me onto the bed.
Thank gosh it was really early and no one was up yet because I was still in my underwear when we went downstairs. I mean Kian was up but he was probably heading out to go skateboard or something.
I pulled out my peach / orange colored oversized sweater and some high waisted white cuffed jean shorts with white vans and headed towards the bathroom. When I finished putting on my outfit I applied some consealer, eyeliner, and mascara. I walked into the bedroom to see Connor on his white iPhone 5 probably on twitter as always. My phone then lit up with a mention from Connor. I slid the unlock button and typed in my password which was 5638 and looked at the tweet.
"Heading out to Starbucks with this loser @peytoncartersxoxo " with a picture attached of me when I walked into the room just previous minutes before. I decided to get revenge and sneak a picture of him. I then tweeted
" Starbucks with this piece of poop. " with the picture attached.

*********

"Can I have a Java Chip with 1 pump of cinnamon dolce and 1 pump of toffee syrup with whip cream blended in and topped with whip cream and cinnamon dolce sprinkles please?" I told the Starbucks worker

"And can I have the white mocha frappe with cinnamon dolce and 1 pump of hazelnut with cinnamon sugar blended in and top it with whip cream and extra cinnamon sugar."

"And what are you names?"
"Peyton"
"Connor"
"Ok coming right up!"

We sat down at a booth and began talking about random things, then leading up to life and suicide.
"It's so sad how some people are so depressed these days."
"What do you mean?" I tried covering my wrists.

And yes. I do cut. It's just a great feeling them horrible things escape your body. I didn't like cutting but I just did it with the life I lived. I was always bullied in school and it was hard so I then resorted to cutting. I've actually stopped since the day I met Connor. He's helped me a lot to stay positive. I never told him I cut either. I never wanted him to be ashamed in me and just leave me.

"Yeah, it's really sad how people also get bullied so bad they resort to cutting."
"Anyone who cuts must be crazy."
"But sometimes people who cut find someone in their life that made them stop."
"That's incredible."
"It is." I said tugging my sweater sleeve over my wrist more.
"Peyton?"
"Yea?" I asked. I feel like he knew, and he was talking about this topic because he wanted to pull it out of me.
"Our stuff is done."
"Oh, ok" I thought. Thank god! I'm so happy he didn't say what I thought he was going to. I want to tell Connor, but I just don't think I'm strong enough yet.

************
"Connor?"
"Yep?"

We were now laying back in my bed at the hotel and I decided I should tell him before any of the girls got back.

"I just want you to stay calm when I tell you this ok?"
"Ok?"
"And just listen to me before you flip out and leave me."
"Why would I leave you?"
"Because I know you will. But Connor, I cut."
He then sat up looking me straight into the eyes as I sat up too.
"But I've stopped ever since I met you. You've helped me through so much even though I never told you. Your so amazingly kind and sweet and our talk earlier made me think about how fragile my life is and how lucky I am to be here."
I seem the tears forming in his eyes. He picked up my wrist and pulled my sleeve down to reveal my cuts. He kissed them and then pulled me into him and kissed my head.
"Please. Don't do it again. Ever again. Your so beautiful and I don't want to see you leave."
I felt his tears staining onto my sweater and I just rubbed his back and cried too. He picked his head up and said the words I'd never thought I'd hear.
