Where the Consoles Lead, The Heart Will Follow

Tape and Glue Can't Fix Everything

I can't believe he would do that. I thought we had soemthing special, guess not obviously. Might as well get back into my old hobbies. First stop, the skate park.

Conor's pov

It's been a couple of days since the whole incident. I feel horrible wothout Jackie, she was my childhood dream girl, but Cathy is just as good. Yeah, we've gone on some dates, and might eventually make things official.

The thing is, the gang doesn't know about the breakup. Plus they assume that Cathy just wants to hangout.

In the past couple of months, I've noticed the Thumbs of Fury has grown more popular than it had in the past. Probably because of me. Oh well. Ashly keeps texting me, but its too soon. I don't want to see anyone. Billy is probably getting worried as well. I'll go visit him, it's been a while.

-At Billy's-

I was skating up to his door, ready to burst in like the good old times, but something stopped me. Conor and Cathy were there.

I decided to sneak in through one of the bathroom windows and hide in a nearby plant.

The more I watched the more I regretted it. They were on a date, and what's even worse is Conor looks even happier with her than he was with me.

I decided to go talk with Billy.

"Jackie! Long time no see, why hasn't my own daughter come and visit me?" He teased

I didn't respond his question though. "I've been thinking about taking a career in Japan..."

Everything was silent.

"Over my dead body. I'm your father. How can I be that if your not here?" He raised his voice.

"But that's the thing, you're not my father."

"But I'm the one you deserve. Where's your father? Huh? Gone. Your mother. Gone. You've got no one but me." He yelled, then immediately regretted it. He knows I don't like anyone talking bad about my parents. They're my parents, only I get to talk bad about them. That I get to cry over them.

I raced off to where he kept his documents saying I was his daughter.

I'm not his daughter anymore.

-2017- Junior Year

(a/n I don't exactly know what grade Conor is in, so if it's wrong please say something)

Cathy and I have been going strong for about a couple of months. The guys didn't take the whole breakup well. That is until they saw how happy I was. But in these past few months, I haven't heard word of Jackie. Probably off being superwoman or something.

I climb up the light pole, jump up the ledge, crawl my way up the rock wall-like brick wall, up three stories then flip myself onto the roof top.

"1:15. A new record!" I cheered, almost loosing balance on the edge of the roof.

If you haven't been able to tell, I've been training. I'm not sure for what, but I just am. If I were to think of it on a deeper level, the closest thing I'd come up with is it helps me rid the memories of Conor. Ir maybe I'm just doing it for myself.

I've been packing my whole days and nights with things to do. Again, assuming to forget about Conor. But how can I forget him? He was my childhood friend (and crush).

I've been continuing to volunteer at the homeless shelter and soup kitchen, been working on some parkour, hitting the gym, going on jogs, and just shredding my skateboard at the skate park. I've even got into an actual college. If I keep this up, I'll have my Bachelor degree in no time. I've actually already have three year of college on my plate. 😅 Did I forget to mention?

Overall, my dream is to work in Japan. Maybe at a gaming company, like Nintendo, or start out small at a maid cafe. (Those aren't as sexual as they're rumored to be). Anyway, as soon as I finish up my year of college, I'm getting out of this country, its brought me nothing but painful memories.

Hm? It's from Ashley. "Hey I know it's been awhile, but I miss our girl times. Wanna hangout?"

I don't have a problem with it, so I relied yes.

"Great, meet me at gamestop,@4"
