Contrast~ A Conor & Jack Maynard Fanfiction

4

It's Friday night and I'm so bloody bored. I literally have no plans tonight. I might call Joe seeing if I can come over. Egh, I'll call him.
"Hello Liz." Joe answered his phone.
"Hey, can I come over? I'm just really bored." I asked.
"Sure. I'm about to shoot a video but yeah you can."
"Alright, thanks Joe."
"See you soon."
"Bye." I ended the call. I put on a jacket, grabbed my keys, then left my flat. Once I got to Joe's I looked at my phone. Joe texted me that he left the door open so I can just walk in. I went up to his door then opened it. Joe was sitting on the couch with Conor, Jack and Joe's sister Zoe.
"Joe, the microphone isn't on." Zoe said.
"Oh fuck." Joe got up. Zoe, Jack and Conor laughed. Joe looked up at me, "Liz!" He shouted. Zoe, Jack and Conor turned around.
"Hey. What kind of video are you making this time?" I asked as I walked in.
"Youtuber Whispers." Joe told me as he walked over and gave me a hug.
"Haven't done one of those in awhile." Zoe stated. I laughed a bit.
"Now every time I'm going to come over are you two always gonna be here because it has been since I've met you guys." I walked towards the couch. Jack stood up and gave me a hug.
"It's only the second time." Conor laughed as he gave me a hug.
"Mmhmm." I smiled.
"Thing one and thing two, we have to make a video. Liz, if you would like you can stay here or just relax in my room." Joe said impatiently.
"No, I'll stay here. Can I grab something to drink?" I asked.
"Of course." Joe smiled.
"Thanks." I walked into the kitchen and they got set up. Joe turned the microphone on then sat down.
"Why did I suggest to sit here?" Joe questioned himself then he looked to his left at Zoe then his right at Jack, "Adding on to that next to the two most annoying people." Zoe, Jack and Conor laughed.
"Well you wanted this." Jack laughed more.
"Quiet down." Joe told them.
"Alright, alright." Zoe said.
"Hello, now a lot of you have been asking 'Joe, when can you do another YouTuber Whispers'? Well, I am today. Joined with me today is Zoe, Jack Maynard and Jack Maynard's brother." Joe introduced them and they laughed.
"Hi, I'm Conor. I'm the more talented brother." Conor smiled and they laughed. I got a small laugh from that too.
"You might have the talent but I have the looks." Jack smiled at the camera.
"Well that's great Jack. You also have the least subscribers out of all of us." Joe laughed then Conor and Zoe joined him.
"Let's just get on with the video." Jack said.
"That sounds like a grand idea Jack. Let's get started." Joe smiled at the camera.
"Joe, explain what kind of Youtuber Whispers this is." Zoe said.
"Oh yeah. This time I decided to do something a little different considering we have an artist in this video. Youtuber Whispers song version. Just like regular YouTuber Whispers but instead they have to get the lyric of the song then pass it on. Once the last person tries to guess then they have to say the lyric then the song and who it's by. Let's get started!"

Halfway through filming the video I tried to hold my laugher in. Jack started this round but when he finished he gave Joe the headphones then walked over to me.
"Hey." He smiled.
"Hi." I smiled back and he went and grabbed a water.
"I saw you laughing." Jack took a sip of his water.
"Well, it's funny." I shrugged.
"Yeah but I like your laugh though." He smiled.
"Usually people say the opposite." I rolled my eyes.
"I'm being serious. But you know what, I've been thinking about this for the past week. We've been hanging out for a bit a lot lately but I was wondering if I could take you out?" He asked.
"Oh." I'm surprised.
"Wait, you and Joe aren't together right? You decided to stay friends right? If not then I'm sorry." Jack froze.
"No, yeah, Joe and I are still just friends." I told him.
"Ok, so then, what do you think?" He wondered.
"Jack, c'mon!" Conor shouted as they were done.
"I'll let you know. Go finish the video." I told him. He grinned then went back. I pulled out my phone then quickly called Oli. C'mon Oli, pick up!
"Hello." Oli answered.
"Hey, um I need advice." I said.
"You always need advice. What kind of advice?" I heard Oli chuckle a bit.
"Guy advice." I told him.
"Oh, with who? Not Joe?"
"No, not Joe."
"Then with who?"
"Jack and Conor." I told him.
"What you like both of them? I asked you which one, not both. Why? What's going on?" He asked.
"Jack kind of asked me on a date and I do like him but it's just that I also really like Conor too." I explained.
"Now I don't exactly know how to help you there. All I can say is do what you think is best. If anything give him a try. First date doesn't go well then just tell him you just want to stay mates. Jack may not always seem like the greatest guy but he is. Him and Conor are very similar in personality but it's up to you. Just consider it." Oli told me.
"Alright, well thanks Oli. They're finishing up so I'll let you know."
"Alright bye."
"Bye." I ended the call. I set my phone down on the counter. I really wish Haley was still around. I still have her cell number in my phone. I would call her right now but I can't. She would know what to do.
"Liz, can I talk to you?" Joe came over.
"Yeah." I nodded. Joe walked me downstairs into his room and closed the door.
"I need to let you know something."
"Well, what is it?" I wondered.
"Jack just told me that he asked you out, which is nice, but Conor talk to me last night when we were out and he fancies you." Joe told me.
"Really?"
"Yes, but this isn't the greatest thing. Yeah two people like you and good for you but they are brothers. You date one, the other will be upset. You break up then go to the other, the ex will want to kill both of you and never want to talk to you two again." Joe told me.
"Oh shit." I sat down on his bed then laid back, "I don't want to be in this mess. I've never even been in a situation close to this. Why do they have to be brothers?"
"Well Conor will joke around saying Jack is adopted." Joe chuckled. I sat up and looked at him.
"Joe, I'm struggling."
"Sorry, but what if you just gave Jack a chance. Within the first two dates if it doesn't go well just say you aren't comfortable being together and just wonder if you can stay friends." Joe told me.
"That's what Oli said."
"Oli gave good advice about this kind of situation? Wow, never would I ever think that would happen." Joe was actually a little surprised.
"Hey." Conor knocked on the door and opened it.
"Hi Conor." Joe said.
"Did I come at a bad time?" He questioned.
"Um, no not really. Why?" Joe wondered.
"I wanted to talk to Liz."
"Oh, ok. Well I'll leave you two be." Joe walked out. No! Joe come back! Conor closed the door.
"So what's up?" I wondered.
"Um, may I take you to dinner tomorrow night?" Conor asked. Are you joking?! First Jack, now Conor.
"Are you asking me out?" I wondered.
"Yeah." Conor grinned and turned a bit red.
"Um, Conor, I-"
"Jack told me just now that he asked you out but I've been wanting to all last week but I didn't have the nerve to." He cut me off.
"So you thought of it first but Jack took action first. Now Jack can't even take a shot correctly and he asked first. That doesn't make sense." I laughed then Conor did.
"They don't relate at all."
"I'm saying that Jack is weaker."
"Oh yeah that's true." Conor chuckled, "But I wanted to. Especially when I took you to lunch but it was just such a great day. So I want to know, does tomorrow night work for you?" He asked again.
"Conor, I don't know. What did you say to Jack when he told you?" I asked.
"Nothing really. Then I came down here." Conor told me. My mind can't process what to think and say. I've never been in a situation like this before.
"Conor, I have to go." I got up and left the room. I headed upstairs.
"Hey, I just came looking for you." Jack smiled as I got to the top of the stairs.
"Jack, I can't right now. I have to go."
"But, you never answered my-"
"Jack, not now." I told him and walked past him. I opened the door and walked out.
"Where are you going?" Joe caught up to me.
"I don't know what to do. Jack asked me then like minutes later Conor asked me out. I just can't be here anymore. Joe I'm confused and I just don't know what to do." I started to cry.
"Hey, you'll figure it out." Joe gave me a comforting hug, "I want you to stay though." Joe let go.
"No, I can't. I need to leave and just think." I told him then left.

I started to just walk the streets of London. I would look at my phone every once in a while and find that Joe and Oli would be texting me. I decided to head into a Starbucks and get a tea. I was queuing up to get my tea as someone tapped me on the shoulder. I turned around and it was Marcus.
"Hey." I smiled.
"Hi." He smiled and gave me a hug.
"How's it going?" I asked.
"Alright. I had a few meetings today but I also bought a new vlogging camera because the one that I have is shit. How's your day going?"
"Don't get me started." I told him.
"That bad?" He wondered.
"Kind of, I'm just confused really."
"Well, do you want to chat about it? I have nothing else to do for the night."
"Sure." I grinned.

Marcus and I got our drinks and sat down at a table. I took a sip of my tea.
"So, why are you confused?" He wondered.
"You want the story or the notes?" I asked him.
"The notes." He chuckled a bit.
"Alright, well I was just at Joe's. He had Zoe, Conor and Jack over shooting a video. Jack asked me out halfway through the video. Then after the video Joe talked to me in private and said that Conor fancies me. Then Conor asked me out. Considering they are brothers it is a big problem."
"I understand the situation. Well do you actually fancy either of them?"
"Yeah, a little."
"Both?"
"Yeah."
"Who do you fancy more?"
"I don't know?"
"Well that's a problem. Now, I can't exactly speak for them because I don't know Jack as well as I do know Conor. But if you want an opinion go to Oli, Joe, Caspar, Josh or Will."
"I don't think I would go to Oli because he would pretty much say the same as you. Caspar I feel like just wouldn't know. Josh, well I'm not sure. And Will is just too nice and would say give both of them a chance."
"What about Joe?"
"I'm not sure. I think it's just because we both have mixed feelings for each other."
"Maybe that's the best person to go to and considering Joe is someone you trust and knows a lot about you, I think he would be good to go to. Plus, he's just a good mate." Marcus smiled.
"I'll think about it." I grinned.

I went back home and it has to be almost midnight. When I turned the corner to get into my flat I saw Joe sitting outside of my door. He was leaning back against the wall with his usual red hat that he wears. I walked to my door. Joe looked at me. He stood up quickly.
"Joe what are you doing here? It's almost midnight." I said and opened my door and walked in.
"I know you rather not talk about it but I talked to both of them. I feel like from now on you aren't gonna want to be around them anymore but they want to be able to hang out with you. They both like you but they understand that it's a strange feeling that you are having right now. We are going to go out tomorrow night for dinner then possibly to a club. I want you to come with us. It's me, Caspar, Jack, Conor and Josh. Oli is coming as well and he wants you to come. You are finally making some mates and I don't want a small situation ruin that." Joe told me as I set my stuff down and took my jacket off. I looked at him.
"You know it is almost impossible for me to say no to you. I hate you for that."
"So you will?" He grinned.
"Sure, but if I start to get uncomfortable I'm leaving." I told him with a smile.
"Fine, I can deal with that." Joe gave me a hug.
"Now go home and get some sleep." I laughed.
"Six o'clock. I'll pick you up." Joe smiled as he started to walk out.
"Alright." I smiled. Joe left and I shut the door.
