It was now my turn and for some reason I was nervous. I sat on the stool with the microphone in my hand, staring at Connor. His green eyes looking at me with a unfamiliar look, I couldn't pin point it.  I sat there staring staring at him, he looked away after I realized that I had sat there for like 10 minutes staring at him. I cleared my throat and sang.

''I'm tired of this place, I hope people change, 

I need time to replace what I gave away,

and my hopes, they are high, I must keep them small

though I try to resist I still want it all

I see swimming pools and living rooms and aeroplanes

I see a house on a hill and children's names

I see quiet nights poured over ice and Tanqueray

but everything's shattering and its my mistake, 

only fools fall for you, only fools

only fools do what i do, only fools.''

I looked up from the mic and looked Connor's glowing eyes filling wth tears. ''my room'' he mouthed I handed the mic to the DJ and walked to Connor's room. He was on the bed. ''I'm so sorry'' he cried letting tears stream down his face. '' no, no baby its my fault, I know you thought that was best. and its was, because I had so much fun with you, now you live your own life and forget about me.'' I said trying to stay strong. ''what do you mean 'on my own'?'' he asked. I swallowed hard. ''um... well my parents, t-they disowned me'' I said. ''oh Troye! How are you gonna get out of here?'' he asked wrapping his arms around me. ''I'm not.'' we both sat there in silence for a good twenty minutes. Until I felt Connors cries stop and his rate and breathing slow, he fell asleep. ''hey'' Ruth called as I looked up from Connor. '' hi'' I replied my voice dry from crying so much. ''whats wrong?'' she asked coming over and rubbing my cheek. Then looking at Connor's freshly tear stained pillow. ''I'm never going to see him again after this, he's gonna leave on monday and I'm gonna be stuck here'' I said holding back more tears. ''oh honey, it'll be ok, at least you pulled him out of this'' she said before walking out of the room. Ya at least I saved his life and he saved mine and we fell in love, became each others first's, we watched our friend die and then helped pull each other through. ''I'm gonna regret falling for that face''
