Not such a frantastic life

Niagara Falls

Connor finished all of his food and I still had 3/4 of my burger and half of my fries. Connor hadn't noticed but I've been putting on some weight. I felt like if I asked Connor to wear a shirt of his, I'd rip out of it like the Incredible Hulk. I started to eat until I'm half way full, and then stop. I usually drink AriZona or some lemonade here and there but I've been drinking nothing but water, besides the milkshake i'd just order. "Im gonna work that off later" I thought making a mental note.

Connor payed the bill and I tipped the waitress a 10 and a 5. As we walked out of Hanks Hamburgers Connor basically ran to the passenger door to open it for me. It was really sweet how he did it. He got down on one knee and bent his head, like I was a queen and him a servant. He was the best thing that had happened to me in a while.

While Connor and I were driving home the song "Roar"by Katy Perry came on the radio.

"I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath, scared to rock the boat and make a mess." I sang relaxing to my favorite song.

"Do you like this song?" Connor asked.

"Yes. It's actually my favorite." I said, after the words left my mouth he blared the music.

"Jesus! Make me deaf why don't you!" I shouted over the music.

"Do you want to be deaf, 'cause this can go a whole lot louder." he barely yelled.

"No." I said smiling.

I enjoyed the ride back home, blaring the rest of Roar. Connor pulled into the driveway pretending to be a lion, roaring and clawing the air.

He got out of the car and started to walk like a dis-formed T-Rex. His neck all bunched up and angled toward the sky, his butt poking out, his arms short, and his knees inward. We walked up to the house like that and he opened the door with his mouth. After creeping in the house he saw Sara and immediately stopped.

"Hey guys!" Sara cheered.

"Hey Sara." Connor and I said at the same time.

"Tonight is family night. It's tradition to put our phones in a jar and Tyler will hide them somewhere. We play board games, watch movies and eat pizza." she said not taking any breaths.

"Sounds great!" I said.

"You can bring some friends if you'd like."

"Okay. Thank Sara." I said.

Connor led me upstairs to our room. He had a super serious expression on his face.

"Are you and that one girl okay?" he asked, obviously talking about Sophie.

"No! How could I? She slept with my ex." I angrily exclaimed.

"Have you ever heard of the quote, Forgive Forget?"

"Yes. That doesn't mean I should."

"It's almost been a month. Why are you still angry?"

"Noah was the most serious relationship I have ever had! We dated for 3 years! I still had feelings for him! And that bitch slept with him!"

"If you still had feelings for him why didn't you tell him?" Connor asked, his tone calm while mine was frustrated and furious.

"I was gonna but then I sorta found him and my ex-bestfriend having sexual intercourse." I screamed.

It was a sensitive subject. I broke up with Noah but I still had feelings for him. When I found him and Sophie together all those feelings disappeared.

You know when you're mad you make mad decisions? Well when I found him and Monica half naked in his cabin 3 years ago I made a mad choice, and that was to break it off with him.

"So? You should've told him."

"While he was sleeping with my bestfriend??!" I screamed at the top of my lungs.

My eyes started to flood with tears as I flung my hands around angrily, I wanted to punch something but there wasn't anything. So I screamed even louder, I screamed so loud it hurt my ears. My dad, Sara, Karlie, and Maddi showed up at the door with a concerned look on their faces. Connor however was sitting in the edge of the bed his hands in his knees as if he was going to stand but stayed put, not wanting to hit while I was doing my angry arm swinging dance.

My dad steeped into the room, when he was around during my childhood he was always the one that calmed me down. He approached me and stood there, he was used to my flustered dance. He waited till I took a breath to scream again and pulled me into his chest. The scream went into his chest, tears streaming down my face and onto his white shirt. There is going to be nothing but black mascara on his shirt now.

I stopped screaming and started sobbing. He slid down onto the bed and I curled up into a ball as he held me. He rocked back and forth his kissed the top of my brown curly hair.

"Shhh. It's okay baby girl, daddy is here. Shhhhhh." he cooed into my hair just loud enough for me to hear.

"Let's give them some privacy." I heard Sara say to Karlie, Maddi, and Connor.

After that was said the door was shut and it was quiet, besides my sobbing.

***********Connor's POV************

I have never seen anyone react like Lydia just did. Usually girls don't give a damn about their exs. Lydia however did, a lot. I wish that I could have comforted her like her dad did. I didn't think that she would've screamed so loud, I didn't think she'd ever shed one tear. I felt so helpless. I should go up there and help her dad sooth her.

I walked up the stairs and to our room. I opened it up just enough to see what was happening. They were sitting on the bed, Lyd was still whimpering, and he was rocking her back and fourth. He saw that I was at the door and stood up, Lydia saw me too. Her mascara was down her face, all over Tyler's shirt, and on both of their fingers.

Lydia still looked absolutely gorgeous with all of the mascara down her cheeks. I walked into the room up to Lydia and hugged her. I gave her good squeeze to let her know that I was sorry for making her cry. She sniffled into my shirt, thank god it was black. I lifted up her chin and kissed her. I haven't kissed her in a while, I missed her perfectly peach soft lips. We parted to get some air, and I wiped the black residue from her beautiful face. She gave me a weak smile to let me know she was okay now.

"Is your throat okay?" I asked her.

"Yes." she said, her voice cracking a bit.

"Are you okay?" I asked looking at her deeply.

"Yes. I didn't think that I would act like that when you asked me about Noah. I thought I was over it when we started to date. I'm sorry for acting like that." She said.

"It's okay. I'm sorry for making you hysterical." I said kissing her nose.

"It's okay. I obviously have some things to talk about with Sophie." she said picking up her phone.
