Little Sister (Connor Franta)

Chapter 6- Denial

*Connor's P.O.V*
I woke up today around 9:30. I could hear the voice of Kian and Camila playing outside but I didn't bother to get up. I rolled over my bed and grabbed my phone, where I saw 2 missed calls from Dustin and one iMessage.

"Connor, I need you to call me ASAP. It's important"

My mind couldn't bother but think what he had to talk to me about, so I just called him back. The phone rang and I became more tense as the ringing went on.

"Connor" said Dustin through the phone, I could tell his voice was strange.
"Dustin, what's going on? I got your text" I said.
"Is Camila with you?"
"No. She's downstairs with Kian"
"Ok, it's better if she hears this later, not through phone."
"Dustin, what the hell is going on?!"
"Connor. Mom and Dad are dead."
"What?"
"Mom and Dad died yesterday in a car crash. The doctors did all they could to save them" I stayed silent with the phone pressed against my ear. Nor my heart or my brain could capture what it had been told.
"Connor... Are you there...?"
"Do Brandon and Nicola know?" I said with a strong tone.
"Yes, I called them after I left you the message."
"Oh"
"The only one left to know is Camila"
"How am I supposed to tell Camila...the youngest...only 12...that her parents died while she was away with me? With me?" Before I knew it we were both arguing and screaming through the phone.
"Connor she needs to know. She can't go on for this few weeks and then say 'you can't return because mom and dad died a couple of weeks ago and now I have full custody of you' ? Is that what you intend to tell her?!"
We argued for hours. Before I knew it it was midday.
"Bro I gotta go." Dustin said after a while.
"Ok, I'm sorry dude. I really am."
"Me too. I love you man. Tell Camila I love her and that I miss her."
"I will. So the plan is: The funeral is in 3 weeks. We will stay at home for 2 weeks and pick up their stuff and then Camila comes back to live with me permanently because I get full custody. Right?"
"Yeah..."
"Alright. We love you Dust. Take care. We'll see you soon"
"Bye Con"
"Bye"
I hung up the phone. My eyes were filled of tears and without hesitation, they started to drop out. I started to cry incredibly hard. I was trying to do it silently so no one down stairs heard me. I was leaning over the bed, when Camila came in.

I'm gonna be honest. I almost cried while writing this DONT JUDGE ME
