At First Glance ~ Kingsland Road Fanfiction. [NO LONGER GOING TO BE UPDATED]

Chapter Ten ~ The Interrupting Older Brother...

Chloe's P.O.V

The look on Connor's face told more than his words could. It was a stupid idea to even say that and think he would like me back, stupid girl.

"Uh, I-I'm gonna find D-Dan." I muttered, standing up.

"No, wait!" Connor jumped up and seized my wrist unabling me from escaping.

"It was a stupid thing to say, I should of never sai-"

Connors lips upon my own interrupted my speech mid sentence. What a way to tell me to shut up, eh? After the overall shock of being caught off guard disappeared I began to kiss him back, forgetting everything around me as if we were the only two that inhabited the Earth at this very moment along with the looming problems which followed me around like a dark, forever reminding shadow. Just like all those cliched romantic novels I've read, sparks flew and fireworks exploded as our lips fitted together just like a jigsaw piece.

Hesitantly, we both pulled away but kept our forehead pressed together.

"I like you too just in case you didn't know." Connor whispered, his lips curling into a perfect toothless smile.

"So, what does this make us now then?" I questioned, still confused at our 'friends with benefits' kind of relationship we seem to be stuck in.

"What ever you want to be."

I opened my mouth to speak but my brother annoyingly stopped me from saying what I wished to say.

"Chloe, Mum wants to know whether or not you wanna return to the x Factor house or whether you wanted to spend the night at mine and Phil's?" Dan asked awkwardly, obviously realizing what he interrupted.

"Uh." I paused, did I really want to return to the house where I would be pestered continually for answers to what happened or to be forever given looks which convey sympathy and sadness for me which wont actually improve anything but in fact worsen it because I'd be reminded countless amount of times what had just happened? Defiantly not. "Can I stay at yours as to be fair I would rather miss the hundreds of questions and sympathetic looks for tonight?"

"'Course, we're leaving in a minute though so you two make it quick." Dan stated before walking away most probably to tell our mother my answer.

"If you don't want me too I won't tell the others about what happened tonight?" Connor said in more of a question than anything else.

"No, no, tell them then maybe they'll lay off me with the questions that I really don't need right now."

Connor nodded and held out his arm for me to link mine with which I did before we made our way to my family who were already waiting.

"Connor, we'll give you a lift back to the x Factor house if you would like?" My mother asked Connor.

"Thank you, Mrs Howell I'd appreciate it." He replied back with a friendly smile.

We left the hospital and Tyler even though I wish I didn't have to but in another hand I did want to. If I stayed I'd be forever reminded about his death but if I left I'd be leaving him alone to face the afterlife alone even though in anyway shape or form (unless I you know died myself) could accompany him. It was a squish in the car to say the least, seven people in a five seater car doesn't work very well. I had to sit on Connor's lap who was squished to the door.

On the way to Dan and Phil's we dropped off Connor (who, once inside the house, my mother complimented him on how polite and how she 'approves' us). We then arrived at Dan and Phil's after another car ride with me sat on Dan's lap this time. Bidding mine and Dan's parents and younger brother a farewell we then made our way up to Dan and Phil's flat.

When we finally went to sleep (I was sleeping in Dan's bed which he nicely gave up to sleep on the sofa bed in their little office room) it was nearing four in the morning. Two in the afternoon the next day I was awoken by a smiling Dan with a steaming cup of tea in a Rubix cube mug. I was exhausted and no doubt looked it too.

"Time to wake up as you have to be at the x Factor studios in about an hour. I've left you one of my tops and a pair of your jeans and shoes you left here ages ago in the bathroom for you to change in after your shower."

And with that Dan left. I quickly drank my cup of tea (with great difficulty due to the bloody square mug Dan gave me, smart purchase dude) before showering and getting dressed into the clothes Dan left out for me which included his pink Llama space shirt that he knew I loved.

After my shower and I dried myself I got dressed before blow drying my hair dry and straightened my fringe (using both Dan's hair dryer and straighteners) while leaving the rest of my hair in it's naturally curly state. I joined Dan and Phil in the living room before eating a very late breakfast. We just talked until the x Factor car was sent to take me to the studios and Dan and Phil to Radio 1.

Upon arrival at the studios I tightly hugged Dan and Phil goodbye after promising to call them as soon as I know whether I'm through to next week as sadly due to their radio show they can't attend Sunday results show. I understood so it didn't really bothered me. Walking into the studios was the worse thing i've ever been through. A hundred or so eyes from contestants, show helpers and sorts all stared at me with their annoying sympathetic way. Can they seriously fuck off, I thought as I went to find one of the girls or Kingsland Road boys...
