Till My Heart Stops

Chapter 2

Connor’s P.O.V.

I woke up to the loud yelling of my next door neighbors, they are an old married couple with a few kids,one of their kids my best friend Rachel, well one of them. Rachel and I always drive to school together with her car or mine, we trade off every other day.  Today is my day to drive so I have to actually get up.

I get up out of my bed and I take a towel and my phone to my bathroom  then I put my music on and hop in the shower for about 15 minutes.

*15 minutes later*

“Connor hurry up you're gonna be late!”
“Okay mom I'm coming !”
I quickly put on black skinny jeans a white t-shirt and green jacket. I quickly do my hair and put on a beanie and put on my black Converse,get my headphones and my phone and I head downstairs.

“Have you ate Connor?”
“No I'll eat on the way mom”
“Okay just make sure you eat honey”
“Yeah mom. Is momma awake?”
“ Yeah she's upstairs”
“Okay”

I run up to momma because I need to say goodbye to both of them before I leave, that's one of their rules. I've been with my two foster mom's for about 2 years now and they wanna adopt me. I feel like they're my mom's and I love them. Anyways let's get on with it.

“Hey momma I'm leaving for school now.”
“Alright hun have a good day I love you”
“Love you too!”

I head back downstairs to the door,I grab my keys from the bowl and I yell over to my mom in the kitchen.

“Bye mom! Love you!”
“Love you too honey!”

I then go out the door and I go over to Rachel’s and knock on the door then step in.
“Hey its me! Hurry your ass up Rachel!” I yelled to Rachel through the house. (We have been friends for so long that we just knock so the people in the house know we are there and walk in. It's like our second home for each other.)

“Yeah yeah I'm coming calm your tits Connor!”
“No Rachel we need to get going!”
“You just wanna see your little crush don't you Connor?”
“That and we're gonna be late so let's fucking go!”
“Alright alright I'm done teasing let's go.”

We go to my amazing baby of a car and get it. (My car is a 1967 Chevy Impala btw. Just like Dean from Supernatural I know!)

*10 minutes later we finally get to the school parking lot*

We get out of the car and we go to meet Jeremy at our usual hang out spot behind the school which is close to the bullies hangout but whatever.

“Hey Jer what's up”
“You're late we usually meet here 20 minutes before school starts and school starts in 10 minutes.”
“Yeah I know I'm sorry but Rachel was being a slow ass this morning.”
“I bet she always is.”
“Heeyy! Not nice!”
“Whatever Rachel. Anyway have the bullies gotten to you yet today Connor?”
“No they haven't so I'm fine Jeremy. Your brother and his friends haven't seen me today so they haven't bothered me.”
“Well good. I hate my brother. He's such a dick for no reason.”
“Yeah I know”

*BELL RINGS*

“Well let's get to class.”
“Ugh math.”
“Yeah Connor well at least you don't have gym like me and Rachel.”
“Yeah whatever see you two later.”

I walk away from them and go inside to my locker to get my shit for math class and just run into them……

“Well well well look who we have here,fag boy.”
“Can’t you wait until lunch or something Flash? I have to get to class.”
“Hmmm… What do you think boys? Should we let him go to class now or not?”
“Yeah I don’t think so boss.”
“Me too. Let’s get him!”
Here we go again….
I run as fast as my legs will take me all the way outside of the school and I run behind it and hide,panting out of breath.
“I know that you're out here fag boy!”
“Boys fan out and get him !”  Oh shit they are splitting up, I need to hide somewhere else like now but where? I start running aimlessly and they find me while I’m running away… 
“Found ya gay boy.” Flash just smirks at me and then the first blow comes and i don’t feel anything after that. They just keep punching and kicking me everywhere and I can't feel my own body. Suddenly I hear someone shout “Stop it Flash!” and the beating stops, who could have that much power over Flash Anderson? Wait a minute he has a girlfriend so that means it’s her… Lorilei Peters.

“Flash what the hell?!”
“I’m sorry babe but he deserves it.”
“No he doesn’t no one deserves to get beat up! Get out of here and get to your stupid class now Flash! We will talk about this later!”
“Whatever.” Then he leaves and I am stunned that she got him to completely stop beating me up.
“Th-Thanks.”
“No problem. I’m so sorry he hurts you for being gay it’s not fair, you can’t change who you are.”
“Yeah. It’s fine. I’m okay.” But that was a huge ass lie, because I’m not okay at all.
“I need to go to math class now.”
“Here let me help you, I’m going there too.”
“Thank you Lorilei.”
“Your welcome, now let’s get going.” She help me stand up and she helps me walk the whole way there, she’s actually not mean at all like I thought she would be. We went to the bathroom to was off all the blood from me and then we leave for the classroom.

We get to class and well Mrs.Biggs was not happy at all, because we were really late.
“Oh look who decided to join us it's Mr.Hollingsworth and Mrs.Peters. Glad you could grace us with your presence. Why are you two late?” Just as I was about to speak Lorilei cut me off and made up and excuse for us.
“I’m sorry Mrs.Biggs it was my fault I had Connor help me out with cleaning out my locker to find my math stuff.”
“Very well Lorilei, you will be having detention after school today. Both of you go take your seats.”
“Yes Mrs.Biggs” We say in unison.

We sit down in our seats and start taking notes.
