Fix You (Bronnor Fanfiction) (Sequel to <3 Missing <3) 2/2

Chapter 11 - FIFA

Connor's POV:

I look around the room and think deeply about my final decision. I stand up off my bed and sigh as I am certain which decision I have chosen. I slowly walk out of my room and down the stairs. As I get to the bottom of the stairs, everyone turns around and awkwardly smile. 'Ready Con?' Joe asks and I bite my lip 'I'm gonna stay guys'. Brads face lights up and he runs to hug me, I snuggle into his embrace as James, Tristan and Joe also join the hug. 'That's amazing news' Brad says as Tristan agrees. 

We all pull apart and Brad's hand slides into mine, I smile again. Joe nervously looks at me and says 'what are we going to tell the fans?'. I pause, I didn't think of that. 'Erm... we could just say that we've had a rethink about it' Tristan nervously adds and James shrugs his shoulders 'thats the best we could put I suppose'. 'What i-if we get more h-hate?' I start to feel myself getting extremely nervous. 'The true fans will understand, as hard as this is, just ignore the haters' Brad says smiling and he squeezes my hand. I nod and take deep breaths.

James' POV:

I smile and ask everyone 'who wants to play on the PlayStation?'. Brad nods 'sure', Connor and Tristan also nod and they sit down in front of the TV as I turn it on and grab the controllers. 'Which game?' I ask and they all shrug their shoulders, Connor speaks up 'FIFA?' and everyone agrees. 

As I take my seat, I sit inbetween Brad and Tristan as Brad hands the controller to Connor first. It was me against Connor, we chose our teams and started to play. During the game, I could feel Tristan constantly staring at me and I couldn't help but turn and smile at him everytime he did so. I was currently winning, that was until I felt a hand placed on my thigh. Quite high up, I glanced down at the hand and saw that it was Tristan's. I started to blush madly and Tristan giggled, Brad turns his head towards us and sees Tristan's hand. Brad winks at me and turns his attention towards the TV as I feel myself becoming uncomfortable on the lower body and having to fidget about.

I noticed that Connor scored a goal and Brad smiles 'that goal wasn't HARD to score' Brad says smirking and I look down at my lap and blush an even redder color that before. I fidget once again to try and get more comfortable. Connor then takes the ball from me on FIFA and Brad smiles again, before Brad says anything I blush and stand up 'I need a wee, like really badly'. I hand the controller to Tristan and speed off to the toilet. 

Brad's POV:

Connor looks at me confused and I laugh before saying 'James, was getting a little excited'. Connor thinks at first, but is still confused and I turn to Tristan and Tristan blushes 'because I put my hand at the top of his thigh'. Connor then nods slowly 'I know what you mean now'. Joe enters the room from the kitchen and smiles 'I have some news to tell you all'. I turn to face Joe and cross my fingers and just hope that it isn't an interview.

'I have posted a tweet about our current band situation and we have mixed reviews' Joe says nervously and I glance at Connor, Connor asks 'what have people been saying?'. I look at Joe and say 'its ok Con, we can have a look later'. Connor looks down and nods 'ok, sorry I-I just wanted t-to know what p-people had said about m-me'. I sling my arm over his shoulder and peck his cheek 'its ok Koala'. 

James enters the room and we all look towards him and Tristan tells James about the tweet. 'Good toilet break?' I ask, holding back a laugh and James rolls his eyes 'I'm guessing everyone knows'. I nod and James rolls his eyes whilst sitting back down. James smiles at us and asks 'another game?', I hear a stomach rumble and Connor fidgets uncomfortably. 'Are you hungry Koala?' I ask and he twiddles with his thumbs nervously 'm-maybe'. 

'Con, could I possibly have a quick word with you?' Joe asks nervously and I glance at Connor, he stands up nervously 's-sure'. Connor stands up and follows Joe into the kitchen. I look at the kitchen door nervously, James sighs 'Brad calm down, I'm sure everything's fine'. I slump down onto the chair 'what if Joe upsets him again?'.

Tristan bites his lip 'I'm sure he won't Brad'. James sits next to me 'Brad, I think you and Joe need to have a sit down and finally make up'. I nod slowly 'I'll try, as long as he doesn't upset Connor'. 

Connor's POV:

'Connor, I thought I'd talk to you about this before the others' Joe starts and I give him a confused look. Joe takes a deep breath 'would you like to do a meet and greet?'. I think about it, it'll be good to see the real fans again, but I'm just scared the fake fans will hurt me. I look at Joe, who is waiting patiently for my answer. I nod slowly 's-sure'. Joe smiles a little 'are you sure?'. I nod slowly.

Joe rubs my shoulder and smiles 'I'll let you know when it is, would you like to let the boys know?'. I nod 'I-I'll let the boys know'. I head into the living room and Tris, James, and Brad smile at me. 'Everything ok Con?' James asks and I shrug my shoulders 'I think so'. Brad looks at me a little worried 'what did Joe have to say?'. I look at Brad nervously 'well erm... w-we might be g-going to a m-meet and greet'. 

I look at Brad and wait for his reaction, he smiles 'as long as your happy with this, I'm happy'. I sigh in relief 'I-I think I'm happy'. Tristan stands next to me 'don't worry about the fake fans, remember we have real fans out there'. James nods 'that's true, you just have to ignore the haters'. 

I nod 'thanks guys'. Joe enters the room biting his lip nervously 'guys, I have some bad news'. Brad turns to Joe slowly 'what do you mean bad news?'. 'It's Dean, he's been in a car crash.' Joe finishes and Brad goes quiet. James says in shock 'is he ok?'. Joe shrugs his shoulders 'I don't know, I texted him asking if he could video the meet and greet for Youtube and he just replied saying he is in hospital from a car crash'. 

I look at the floor 's-sorry guys'. Tristan looks at me in confusion 'why are you sorry Con, it wasn't your fault'. 'sorry, it's just when I choose to do something out in public.... s-something bad a-always happens' I finish and Brad pulls me into a hug 'I promise Con, I promise that everything will get better'.
