Because of you ~ Conor Maynard

~•Part 5•~

   "Bing!" I slowly open my eyes and see my phone lit up. "Ughh" I check the time and its 9:45.

From Conor- Good morning beautiful x

To Conor- Good morning cutie ;) x

From Conor- I'm not cute. X

To conor- yeah yeah

I quickly get out of bed and tie my hair into a pony tail before going downstairs. I don't see a point in getting ready anyways.
   I walk downstairs to see neither of the boys awake. Typical. I grab myself an apple and open instagram. As I'm scrolling through I see the picture I posted with Conor yesterday. We were sitting on the couch pulling funny faces. I smile until I see the comments.

Who does she think she is?!

Another slut coming into Conors life.. Great

Ugh

NOOOO I HATE THIS SLUT

That wasn't even the half of it. Hate usually doesn't get to me but this time it does. I feel the hot tears stream down my face. I keep scrolling as tears fall down my cheeks. I scroll faster and faster, not even reading them anymore.
   I throw my phone down and put my head in my hands trying to calm myself down.
   "Alexa?" Someone whispers with a groggy voice. I turn around to see Joe, Shirtless. I realize I'm staring and look away. "Are you crying." He asks.
   "No.." I lie, wiping away a tear. "Yes you are, what's wrong?" He asks while putting an arm around me. I take a deep breath and sigh. "Well I found the picture that I posted on instagram of me and Conor and all the comments are negative. We haven't even said we are dating and its already this bad." I cry as Joe hugs me tighter.
   "Look at me." Joe pushes up my chin and smiles. "Don't let the hate get to you, let them think what they want. As long as you and Conor have each other that all that matters."
   I smile and hug Joe once more. "Good morning." Caspar says groggily. Joe smiles at me and I quickly wipe away my tears and smile. "Are you alright Lexa?" Caspar says. "Um yeah, I just came from a run. My face must be red." I lie. "Oh okay." Caspar says tiredly. He's so gullible.
   Remember what I said." Joe smiles before walking into the kitchen with Caspar.
   Suddenly my phone starts ringing, which ends up making me jump. I pick it up to see Jack's name across the top.
  "Hello?" I say happily, trying to hide my sadness. "Hey Alexa, you alright?" He asks with sympathy. I sigh, "you seen the post?" "Yeah, fans can be vicious." He laughs dryly. "I just don't understand, this is my third day out here and i've already got people at my throat." I sigh. "Just don't let them get to you. I'll talk to you later, me and Conor are going out for breakfast." "Alright bye." I say. "Bye!" He says happily.
   I hang up the phone and make my way back downstairs. I grab some acid washed jeans and a nike cropped jumper before taking a hot shower. Once I'm done, I put on my clothes and make my way back into my room.
   "Caspar?!" I jump. He's sitting on my bed casually on his phone. "Oh hey." He says, putting his phone down and sitting up. "You better be glad I didn't come in here naked." I laugh as I plug in my hair dryer. It doesn't take me long to dry my hair because its just below my shoulders.
   Once its dry I plug in my straightner and well straighten it. I can see Caspar staring at me through the mirror so I pull a weird face and he laughs.
   "Why are you in here anyway?" I ask as I put the finishing touches on my makeup. "What? I can't just visit you?" He asks like its obvious. I roll my eyes and grab my phone to text Conor.

To conor- hey :) x

From Conor- heyo x

To Conor- you're so weird x

From Conor-you love it ;) x

To Conor- Yeah sure, come over? X

From Conor- On my way x

I stand up and put my phone in my pocket. "Conor is coming over. Is that alright?" I ask. Caspar nods and stands up from my bed and walking out.
   Suddenly my phone dings making me jump. I take it out of my pocket and see I have a text from an unknown number, weird.

From Unknown- You're going to regret taking him away from me.

What? Are they talking about Conor? Is this his ex? I have so many questions. I can't be bothered so I delete the number and walk upstairs.
   Joe smiles at me from his laptop and I smile back while taking an apple from the cabinet.
   "You okay?" Joe asks, seeing me clearly uncomfortable. I can't tell him about the text because he will tell Conor. I feel like it would cause a fuss.
   "Um I'm just tired." I say quickly and bite my lip while looking down. I'm so bad at lying. "You're so bad at lying." Joe laughs dryly while shutting his laptop. "Really, what's up? Its not those comments is it?" He asks. I sigh and sit beside him.
   "You can't tell anybody, not even Caspar." He nods and motions for me to carry on. "Well I got I text from an unknown number saying "You're going to regret taking him from me"." I say using air motions. "I feel like it's Conors ex but I just deleted the number." I sigh. "Alexa you have to tell Conor." Joe says. "No, he will worry to much. It's probably just his jealous ex. I deleted the text anyways." I rush.
   Joe sighs and stands up. "Alright, but if it becomes worse, you have to tell Conor." He stresses. I nod and hear the door open.
   "Your favorite person is here!" Conor exclaims while looking around the room. Both Joe and Caspar glare at him and he frowns. I snicker and look away. "Ever heard of knocking?" Joe asks, trying to be serious.
   "Yeah, its overrated though." He smirks. Eventually the boys sigh and walk into the living room. "Hey." I smile, giving him a hug. "That's all I get?" He asks. I frown and raise an eyebrow. He points to his cheek and I roll my eyes.
   I go to kiss him on the cheek but he moves his head so I kiss him on the lips. "Dickhead." I laugh. After I finish my apple I throw it away and head back downstairs to my room. Conor follows behind me and into my room.
   Once we are inside I fall onto the bed and sigh. "Tired?" Conor asks. I simply nod and close my eyes. "Ow!" I shout. I open my eyes to see Conor laying comfortably on top of me. "Conor.." I groan. "Get off me!" I manage to breath out.
   "Fine." He dramatically sighs. I laugh and sit beside him on my bed. As I pull out my phone I see Conor frowning at his.
   "What?" I ask worriedly. "Alexa, why didn't you tell me that my fans were harrasing you?" He frowns,
showing me the picture from instagram. I bite my lip and look down.
"I didn't think it was that important" I lie. Conor sighs and pulls me onto his lap. "Of course it's important. Lexa please tell me if it gets worse. Please." He says with worry in his eyes. I slowly nod and burry my head in his chest.
   "Why don't they like me?" I sigh. Conor laughs dryly and pulls me closer. "Maybe they are jealous." He shrugs. "But it doesn't matter, all that matters is that you know I love you."

Hey guys! So I've got a question. Is anyone persistent with this book so far? If so leave a comment. Also, can you guys help me with a ship name for Conor and Alexa? Thanks, bye!!
