No Limit (Conor Maynard Fanfic)

Chapter 21

I walk to the shop, my heart beating 100mph. I get there and see Jack and Conor waiting.

"Hey" I say, giving Jack a hug. I go over to Conor and give him a huge hug.

"I missed you" he says.

"Missed you more"

"Bet you did" he winks and I roll my eyes.

"I um, need to tel-"

"Lucy!" Lois calls from behind and gives me a hug. "Are we going then?" she smiles.

We start walking to school and Jack keeps giving me signals to tell Conor but I can't find the words.

At lunch, I sit with the girls and eat my chips, constantly thinking about what I could say. Do I need to tell him? I finish my meal and walk onto the yard. I turn the corner to where we usually stay and see a circle of loud people. I go over and see Conor hitting someone.

"You fucking dick" he shouts and hits him in the face.

"Conor, stop" I scream when I realise it's Ben.

"Why didn't you fucking tell me?" he shouts.

"I'm sorry" I cry.

"No!" he screams and hits Ben again. Ben hits Conor in the face and that sets him off again. He keeps punching and punching. I need to step in. I step in between them and face Conor.

"Calm the fuck down" I shout but get thrown to the floor by Conor. I graze my hands and I'm pretty sure my legs got hurt too. I can't really feel them. Conor stops fighting and just looks at me in shock. I get up off the floor.

"Lucy" he mumbles before I walk away.

"Lucy wait!" Ben shouts.

"Don't go anywhere fucking near her" Conor snaps.

"Fuck off" he moans before running up to me. I hear his footsteps behind me so I speed up. How does he have so much energy after what Conor just did to him? I'd be in A&E if that was me. "Why didn't you just tell me you were back with Conor?"

"I was going to but I couldn't" I sigh.

"Why?"

"I couldn't find words. I felt awful" I sigh.

"Well it'd be better than getting a busted lip and a possible black eye out of it" he half laughs.

“We’re not even together. Remember, he doesn’t fucking date” I snap and he just sighs. "Ben I'm so sorry" I say with tears filling my eyes.

"You used me as a distraction, didn't you?" he asks and I just start crying. He pulls me in for a hug so I wrap my arms around his waist.

"You're too nice" I cry.

"Shut up" he laughs.

"I'm so sorry Ben" I look up at him and he just shakes his head. I can tell he's still angry at me but wants to comfort me. What have I done?

-

I avoid Conor all day. Why does he have to over react about everything? He assumes me and Ben did 'everything'. Why does he think I'd do that? He brought all this on for telling me I'm just like the rest. But I can't put the blame on him when this is all kind of my fault.

I get home and practically cry all day. I'm thankful my parents come home late every night. My legs are bright red and cut from what Conor did. My knee is cut but my hands are ok, just a bit sore. It was embarrassing, falling over in front of everyone but I was so mad at Conor that I didn't seem to care. I hear a knock at my door. I walk downstairs and find the key.
