Strong Love

Chapter 24

I open my eyes to see Jc's smile. "Did I teleport?" I ask jokingly. "No, I carried you onto the plane. I didn't want to wake you." He laughs. I nod and sit up. "How much longer to go?" I ask him. "We have about an hour left." He replies.  I sigh. "What have you been doing this whole time?" I ask curiously.  "Watching you sleep." He says. I give him a weird look. "Just kidding, I've been watching a movie I downloaded on my phone." He says making me laugh a little. I check my phone, I got a text.

From: TrevTrev

Long to no talk loser how you going? :) 

To: TrevTrev

On the plane with Jc to spend xmas in Texas. And its good to finally talk to you nerd!

I'm not mean to Trevor or anything. He's like my little brother and we like to act mean to each other for fun. Just thought I'd clear that up. 

After that I put my phone away. "Pay attention to me!" I mock Jc and shake his arm. He puts down his phone and looks at me. I pull a big smile and he laughs. He puts his arm around me pulling me into his side. I rested my head on his shoulder and watch him go on his phone and play candy crush. 

Once the plane landed and we got our luggage, we took a taxi to Jc's house. "I'm really nervous about meeting your family." I say looking out the window next to Jc. He takes my hand "Don't be. They're going to love you." He says. "I hope so." I say back. We pull up in front of the house. A slight smile appeared on my face. I get out of the taxi and Jc gets our suitcases. I take mine and we both walk up to the front door. Jc knocks and someone opened it straight away. "Hey mom." Jc says and hugs her. "Hey Justin." She says and gestures for us to come in. "Mom I'd like you to meet my girlfriend Cali." He says and smiles at me. "Hey" I say and she hugs me. "It's great to finally meet you. Justin wouldn't stop talking about you when he was here last." She says making me laugh. "Mom, you aren't meant to tell her." He says and his mom and I both laugh. "I'm going to go to bed now because I have work in the morning but there's left over spaghetti in the fridge." She says. "Ok thanks mom." Jc says following her up the stairs with his suitcase making a lot of noise. "Justin don't wake up your brother and sister." Jc's mom says to him. "Sorry." He replies and we go into his room. 

After we unpacked Jc went down stares to get us some food. I changed into my grey sweats and an oversized shirt. I sit down on his bed and go through the movies we can watch. Finally after debating with myself I chose the perks of being a wallflower. A little after Jc comes in with two bowls of spaghetti. "Here you go princess." He says handing it to me. "Thanks." I smile at him and he sits beside me. I hand him the movie I want to watch and he puts it on and turns the light off. By the end of the movie we where laying down in each others arms. When it was done Jc turned it off and everything was black. He got back into bed and put both his arms around me. I hugged him back and put my head on his chest. "Night baby girl." I heard Jc whisper. "Night Jc." I whisper back. 

**Connor's POV** 

I walk into the kitchen looking for some nutella. I open the pantry to see no nutella! "What is this!?!" I accidentally say out loud. 'What is this' was an inside joke Chelsea and I used to have. I sigh and grab the keys. "Where are you going?" Kian asks coming down the stares. "To get some nutella." I say and walk out. I drive to the grocery store. I walk in and grab a shopping basket, I might as well get some things while I'm here. I walk down a couple aisle getting milk, bread, some fruit and coffee the usual stuff. I walk down the aisle where the nutella is. I race down the aisle and grab one of the large nutellas and put it into the shopping basket. I quickly glance at the person next to me and my mouth gaps open. "Oh... Hi Connor." Chelsea says looking a little awkward. "Hi." I say looking at the ground and back to her. "So how've you been?" She asks. "Umm. Not that great." I reply. She looks into my eyes. "Me neither." She says. I was trying to contain my urge to hug her. I just missed her so much, but I know she can't be with me. "Sorry Connor, I've got to go. My mom and dad are probably looking for me." She says grabbing a small nutella from the shelf. "Ok, bye Chelsea." I say. She faintly smiles and walks away. "I love you." I say quietly when she's out of my sight. I sigh loudly and walk to the checkout. 

**Chelsea's POV**

I put the shopping bags into the shopping cart. "Is that Connor?" My mum says quietly to me. I look out the window to see Connor getting into his car. I couldn't help but smile. It was so good seeing him again, even if it was for 30 seconds. "I don't think so." I say back to her. She nods her head and we go out to our car. 

When we get home I help mom with the groceries and go up to my room, shutting the door behind me. I get changed into one of Connor's sweaters I have. I know it's sad but I sleep with one of his sweaters every night. I makes me feel a little better. I turn on my lamp and sit on my windowsill, thinking like always. When I saw Connor today I could tell he wasn't doing to good, and I'm not either. I kinda feel like someone stabbed my in the chest. But I can't show it around those people I call my parents. I think if I just act like nothings wrong they'll realize that they where being stupid and let me see Connor and my friends again. But until that day comes around I have no contact with them what so ever. I can't even call or text them. My parents deleted there numbers from my phone. I honestly don't know why I haven't run away. Probably because I'd have to leave my room behind and all that's in it. I have all my books and pictures of Connor, Cali, Andrea, Jenn, Ricky, Jc, Kian, Sam and Trevor. 

After I snap out of my thoughts I shut my window. I lay in bed reading Divergent for the 100th time. After a while my eye lids start to get heavier and I fall asleep with the book still in hand. Dreaming that things will get better.
