Strong Love

Chapter 22

**Chelsea's POV**

I sit looking out my window, thinking. Like I've been doing for the past 30 minutes. I still have dried up tears from crying about what my father said to me. He told me that I can't see Connor anymore, or any of my friends for that matter. Apparently they're a bad influence on me. He says teenagers living without parents are nothing but trouble. The worst part is that even my mother agrees, she know how much Connor means to me. I can't even go and see if Cali's ok. 

I know it might make the situation worse but I'm going to try to talk to them about it. I get up and walk over to my mirror. I wipe the tears from my cheeks and force myself to smile. I took a deep breath and walked down stairs into the loungeroom where my mother and father are watching TV. I stand beside the couch and they both look at me. "If this is about the hole Connor thing, I don't want to hear it. Our decision is final." My dad says before I could even open my mouth. "Are you kidding me?!? Mom, you know how much Connor means to me and you want me to brake up with him!" I say not being able to control my temper. "He's older and nothing but trouble." My mother says giving me a little glare. "He's only two years older then me and he's the complete opposite of trouble!" I say defending him. "I'm done talking about it Chelsea, I'm only trying to do what's best for you. I mean look at you, you're arguing with me and this never happened before you started hanging around Connor and your 'friends' ". He says making me think how I could even be related to him. "You aren't doing this for me at all! Because if you where, you'd let me be around the people who actually support me and treat me like family." I say starting to tear up. "And you know what? they're more family to me then you'll ever be." I say backing away and running up to my room. I honestly did make things worse. 

**Cali's POV** 

"So where did Jc go again?" I ask Kian for the third time, I think I might be annoying him. "He went to talk to Sam, he'll be back in about an hour." He says putting down his phone, and putting it into his back pocket. "You know, I don't need a baby sitter Kiki." I say sitting up. "I know, but Jc worries about you. He just needs to know you're ok." He says. "But I bought some movies and a portable DVD player." He says taking the DVD player and three movies out of his backpack. I smile as I see my three favorite movies. The Hunger Games, LOL and The Mortal Instruments. "Which one do you want to watch?" He asks me turning the portable DVD player on. "Hunger games please!" I say with a huge smile on my face. I can't even remember the last time I watched that movie. Kian put it in, sat on the bed next to me and rested it in the middle of us. 

"Best movie ever!" Kian says and turns it off. "Yeah it's the best." I add. "And you still cry every time Rue dies." Kian says teasingly. I roll my eyes. "It's really sad tho." I say in defence. Kian just laughs and checks his phone. "It's already six." He says. "Shouldn't Jc be back by now?" I ask a little worried. "Yeah, but he's probably fine. I think he might have gone to get more clothes from the house." Kian assures me. I just nod. About five minutes later Jc walks in. "Hey." He says flashing Kian and I a smile. "So what happened?" Kian and I both asked at the same time. "Umm.." Jc says.

**Jc's POV**

***Earlier ***

I'm leaving the hospital now to go and meet up with Sam. I get in the car and drive to TacoBelle, we decided to meet there considering we wouldn't punch each other in a public place or anything. Once I get there I sit in my car for a moment and take a deep breath, trying to get my thoughts together about what I want to say to him. Finally I get out of the car and go in. I straight away spot him, and I walk over and sit down across the table from him. "Hi." He greets me quietly. "Hi." I say back, trying to figure out what I should say first. Before I could say anything Sam started to talk. "Listen, I don't want to fight anymore. I know I have so much explaining to do but I just have to get this out of the way. Jc I am so sorry. For everything. Taking the girl you wanted, hurting her, trying to punch you in the face, having a fight with Kian. But you have to believe me that I had no idea Alex was going to actually hurt Cali." He says. I didn't replied, pretty much because I didn't know what to say. "Jc, please say something." He says practically begging. "I need to ask you a few things." I finally say. "Ok." Sam says looking down at the table. "What exactly happened in Miami? And don't lie because it will only make things worse." I say to him. Sam take a deep breath. "So you know how Alex and I went out? Well she got jealous that I moved on and had another girlfriend. Everyone knows I'm a stupid drunk, so she took me up to her room when I was drunk at Jack's party and she started making out with me and" He said and I cut him off. "Wow, I don't need to know to many of those details." I say making a face. Sam nodded. "So then why did you lie to Cali when she asked you if anything happened?" I asked. "The same reason as you. I felt so bad for doing that, if I told her it would have hurt her and I didn't want to do that." He says. I nod. "One more question." I say. Sam looks up to show he's ready to answer. "Why did we catch you doing it again at the Halloween party?" I ask really wanting to know the answer to this one. "So I got drunk again and she took advantage of me and we went upstairs. She started making out with me then she took off my shirt and pushed me onto the bed. She started making out with me again, I pulled away and got on top of her to get up and away from her. But then you guys came in and Cali saw. Before I could explain Kian tried to bash me so I defended myself. And before I knew it you all hate me and don't want anything to do with me." He says. I look at him then look back down at the table. I had no idea what to say. "Please forgive me Jc, I'm so sorry. I never wanted any of this to happen." Sam says pleading for my forgiveness. I take a deep breath. "Sam, I don't want to keep fighting. But I think you need to apologies to Cali before anything can go back to normal again." I say. "Yeah, I really want to speak with her. Can I please see her Jc?" He asks looking at me. I hesitate but finally nod my head. "Thank you so much. I promise I'll make it up to her." He says smiling. He's rather excited to apologies to someone. "Why are you so excited?" I asked. "because it's been touchier not being able to speak with any of you." He says calming down. "Well it's good to see you Sam, and honestly I never thought I would ever be able to say that again." I reply. 

After Sam and I ate some tacos we headed to the hospital where Cali and Kian are. "Are you sure Kian wont try and bash me again?" Sam asks nervously. "Trust me, he wont." I say as we pull up in the parking lot. We go up in the elevator to the floor Cali's room is. I walk past the lady and the front desk and into the hall ways that Cali's room's in. "Wait here." I say out side of the door. I open the door and walk in to see Cali in bed and Kian standing next to her. "Hey." I smile at them. "So what happened?" They both said at the same time. "Umm... I have someone who wants to talk to you Cali." I say and gesture for Sam to come in. He comes in and looks around awkwardly. "Hi." He says defiantly feeling out of place. I could tell Cali and Kian where surprised. "What are you doing here Sam?" Cali asked confused. "I need talk to you." Sam says. "I'll wait outside." kian says and walks out into the hall way. I nod and follow him out. 

**Cali's POV** 

Jc and Kian left the room, but I didn't want to be left alone with Sam. He came and sat on the chair next to me. "I know I'm the last person you want to talk to right now." He says looking at me. Sadness sweeps over me as I remember how in love I was and then how fast that happiness got ripped away from me. "But you have to hear me out, please." Sam goes on. "I never meant for any of this to happen and especially for you to get hurt like this. I never knew Alex would do this to you Cali." He says. "I understand that, but what I don't understand is how you lied to me. All those time I thought you where innocent. Was anything you ever said to me true?" I say feeling as if I was about to cry. "I'm so sorry Cali. I didn't want you to get hurt. I defiantly didn't do it because I wanted to. The drunk side of me did it and I know that's no excuse but that's what happened." He says looking me in the eyes. "You're right. It's not an excuse for cheating." I say back to him. "I know that.. But I am so so so sorry Cali. Please. I've been hating myself every day because of what I did to you." He says making me actually feel bad for him. "I just want to be friends and for you to except my apology." He says looking at the floor. I nodded. There was a long pause before anyone said anything. "If I did forgive you, for the sake of O2L and their friendship with you. Would you promise not to interfere with my life." I say. Sam looks up. "I don't want you to hate me Cali." He says back. "I won't. we can be friends but I don't want you messing with mine and Jc's relationship." I say, he knows exactly what I mean. "I won't I promise." I says. "Ok Sam. I forgive you." I say and he gets up and hugs me. "Thank you." He says quietly and walks out. 

Jc and Kian come back in. "So everything's cool?" Jc asks as they surround me. "Yeah, everything is hopefully now, back to how it was." I say. I wasn't so sure that forgiving Sam was the right thing to do but hopefully he's not going to start anymore trouble. 

**Connor's POV**

I walk into my room and close the door behind me. I eat another spoon full of nutella to make me feel better. Before Chelsea and I started going out I would always be in my room by myself. But she's usually here all the time so it dousn't feel right that she's not here. I put the nutella down and collapse onto my bed, looking up at the ceiling. Then my phone goes off from beside me. I check it. 

From: Chelsea<3 

Hi Connor, I need to talk to u

To: Chelsea<3 

Whats wrong baby girl? :(

From: Chelsea<3 

I need to call u.

Before I could reply she called me. I answer. "hey whats the matter?" I asked concerned. I could hear her sniffling on the other end, like she just finished crying. "Why where you crying baby?" I asked upset that she was crying. "I.... I don't know how to s-say this Connor.... But I don't think we c-can date any m-more." She says still crying. I felt my heart shatter into fifty billion pieces. "What? Why?!" I asked so hurt and confused. "M-my parents won't let me s-see you anymore. Th-they told me I can't be with y-you." She says braking my heart even more. I couldn't help but start to cry a little. Chelsea is my world and hearing her say this kills me. "P-please don't c-cry Connor. Y-you know I love you." She says. "I love you to." I say back. 'Who are you talking to Chelsea!' I hear what sounds like her dad shout. "No one!" She shouts back. "I have to go, bye Connor." She says and hangs up. 

I can't even believe what just happened.
