They Found Out | C.F. & O2L

Chapter 5

IMPORTANT:
The story is going to change a bit. A good friend of mine itsmesabrinab and I have been helping each other with their story's. Her story is really great and you should definitely check it out! We are making a collab now, so the Magcon boys (most likely Hayes, Nash and Cam) will show up every now and then! I'll shut up now and let you read the chapter!

Kian's P.O.V.
We all sit down at the table. Jc, Tyler and Ricky at one side. Troye is facing Jc, next to him in the middle, Connor is facing Tyler and then on Connor's right side am I. I'm facing Ricky. "Apparently you want to talk. So just start already." Connor says after a long silence. "Well, there's obviously a reason why we've been called over. If there was nothing wrong, Troye and I wouldn't be here right now." Tyler tells him while looking him in the eyes, though Connor is looking down at the table. He's tracing the woods aging marks as he always does in these situations. He doesn't have to look up and can lie more easily. We always notice when he does, so it's got no point to lie to us.

"I know, but I don't know anything." Connor says. "Look. We are just worried about you. You're starting to cancel out on things, you're staying inside your room a lot again and you eat less. The most important reason is, you smile way less than before. We care for you. We don't want anything to happen to you." Jc tells him. I can see a faint smile on his face, but it fades away within seconds. "Connor. If there is something going on, we want to know. We want to help you, but we can't if you don't tell us anything. We can't help with something that we don't know about. Nothing happens right now.

Troye gets up and turns on the kettle. I think we are all up for something to drink. You can feel the tension hanging around. Jc gets up to help with the tea. He gets cups from the cupboard and Troye gets something to snack with the tea while the water is boiling. Jc sits back down and Troye puts in a teabag. At some point he pours the water into a teapot. It's the teapot we got as a present from Trevor when we went to live together. The outside is covered with funny, still mature, comics. He brought the teapot over to the table and sat back down. He poured a cup of tea for everyone and Jc handed everyone a snickers. Connor being the only one refusing that one. Said he didn't feel like throwing up. We all questioned him that one. Said he was nervous. "If nothing is going on as you claim, you've got nothing to worry about right?" Ricky asks him. That's not a good statement or question. I send him a glare.

I take a look around the table. I take in everyone's facial expression. I try to read them. I want to know what they are all thinking about. I start with Jc. He is the one that's the most far away from me. He is constantly looking at Connor. His cheekbone are moving, suggesting he is thinking about it a lot and that he might be angry or irritated by something. His eyes look like he's in pain. In pain by knowing that it's all going to happen again. By history repeating itself.

Across from him is Troye. He looks fine on the outside, but I know he is braking on the inside. There's not much I can get from Troye. I was never good at reading him.

Next up is Tyler. He is facing Connor in the middle. Tyler is really emotional. He cares about his friends, and when someone he knows so well, is in this kind amount of pain, it hurts him just as much. I wonder how he never took the wrong path last time. I just hope he's not going to do that this time.

Ricky is just simply looking around like me. He looks fine to me. We have eye contact and reassure each other with a smile. Everything will be alright. Like it will be every time.

Connor himself is just sitting there between Troye and I. Like always, he's just staring at the table tracing these marks. He's not going to stop either. He's trying to deny everything. He's not going to admit that he's getting bad again. He just won't. Connor is stubborn and wants to solve everything himself. He just can't listen to us when we tell him that he doesn't have to try and solve this by himself. He just can't. If I'm honest, he knows it very well. He just won't believe it or accept the fact that he can't.
