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

Chapter 30 - Saving Connor (The Final Chapter)

James's POV:

Anastasia takes a deep breath 'we need to call the police'. Joe shakes his head 'we can, but we need to be careful, if they see the police coming, who knows what they'll do'. I nod 'you call the police and I'll go in and stall them'. Brad walks over to me 'you're not going in on your own'. Tristan nods 'I'll come in too'. I sigh 'try not to make the situation any more worse then please'. Joe runs a hand through his hair 'I don't know if its a good idea, maybe we should drive and park around the corner and then call the cops'. I shake my head 'you can do that, I'm staying outside this house. I want to make sure that Connor is ok'. Joe nods 'ok, but don't do anything silly then'. Anastasia climbs into the passenger seat and Tristan hops in the back. Brad waits with me 'I'm staying with you James'. I nod and Joe drives to park around the corner.

Connor's POV:

Kirsty kneels down to next to me and smiles 'listen Connor, we will untie your hands and legs as long as you promise you won't run away'. I nod slowly and watch closely as they untie me, My hands slip free and finally my legs come free. I place my feet firmly on the floor and close my eyes, I need to get out. I cross my fingers and sprint towards the door and make it into the hallway. I turn the sharp corner and run down the stairs, I hear footsteps following me closely. I get to the front door and turn the handle, but it doesn't open. They've locked it, I panic and run into the living room. I see the window and see James and Brad outside. 

I look around the room and see a dining room with chairs. I run into the dining room and grab a chair, as I drag it into the living room I prepare to swing it at the window but am tackled to the floor. I feel a fist collide with the side of my head and a pair of hands wrap around my throat. My head is being risen and dropped constantly and I gasp desperately for air. 'Let go, don't kill him' Kirsty shouts and he lets go of my neck. My hands wrap around my throat and I inhale deeply. 

Kirsty taps on my shoulder and my head rolls until I look at her. I flinch as she lifts her hand and runs it through my hair 'aww, Connor. I told you not to run, Don't worry though. I'll tell the police everything from you kissing me to vandalizing my house'. I give her a confused look and she points to the window, I look over and see a police man looking through the window 'can I come in please?' he asks and Roger nods before going to get the door. He opens the door and I hear him telling the officer that he caught the thief'. The police man walks next to me 'Connor Ball?', I look at the officer and he asks 'have they been attacking you?'. I see Kirsty shaking her head in the corner of my eye, I nod my head. 

'Officer, he's messed up in the head. We needed to attack him to stop him from ruining mine and Rogers life' Kirsty speaks up and the officer walks up to Roger 'Roger, you are under arrest.....' a gun clicks signalling that it has been loaded. I look over and see Sid pointing a gun at the officer. Another officer enters the house and Roger points a gun at them. The room goes quiet and Roger smiles 'touch me and him over there will shoot you, and you over there. Get over here'. The police officer reaches into their pocket but Roger moves his hand closer to the trigger. I crawl over to the window as quietly as possible, but Kirsty notices 'Connor honey, stay still'. I stare at Kirsty and stop 'c-can I g-go h-home now?' I ask an officer and they shush me. 

Roger points to the officer standing in the doorway 'you, move away from the doorway or someone in this room gets shot at. I watch the officer as they move to the other side of the room. Kirsty chuckles 'police officers? They're rubbish'. Roger, Kirsty and Sid are now standing in the door way by the front door and the officers are now by the dining room. 

I look around the room and see Kirsty smile 'now Connor, we have an important job for you. You need to do this to save the officers'. Kirsty walks over to me and grabs my wrist, she pulls me up and I flinch in pain. I yank my arm back and hold it to my chest, she smiles 'Connor, this is what you need to do. You need to take this gun, go outside and shoot James. Or you can take this gun, go outside and shoot yourself in front of James'. Kirsty places a gun in my hand. 'Connor, just drop the gun' one of the officers tell me and I turn to them 'b-but I d-don't want J-James t-to get hurt'. 'James will be hurt both ways, he'll be heartbroken if you shoot yourself' the other officer tells me and I look down 'a-are you s-s-saying that I-I-I need t-to sh-shoot James?'. The officers shake their heads 'just drop the gun'.
