Because of you ~ Conor Maynard

~•Part 6•~

One Week Later

I'm currently at Josh, Jack, and Conor's house because, why not? I haven't received anymore texts so that's relieving, but the hate comments have still been coming, but they have died down a bit.
"Hey babe?" Conor says as he walks into his room where I am currently laying on his bed. "Yeah?" I ask, closing my laptop. "Do you think today will be a good time to post "The Video"?" Conor asks, referring to our announcement video. I sigh as Conor sits beside me.
"Yeah I guess but I'm just worried." I confess. "About what?" He asks while pulling me into his chest. "W-what if the hate gets bad again?" I whisper. Conor sighs and lays his head on mine. "I don't know, but the fans are starting to catch on." "Yeah I suppose."
Conor gets up and grabs his filming equipment out of the corner of his room.
"You ready?" Conor asks while squeezing my thigh. I simply nod and Conor hits record on his camera.
"Hey guys. I'm sorry if you were expecting a cover but this video needed to be made." Conor explains glancing over at me.
"So many people may have figured it out already but for those of you that don't know, me and Alexa are a thing." He confirms, holding up our conjoined hands.

Most of the video is of Conor just explaining and asking for people to stop sending me hate, while I stay quiet and occasionally nod.
Now I'm watching over Conor's shoulder as put the finishing touching over the video and hovers over the upload button. "Ready?" "Ready" I say and with that, Conor hits upload.
I sigh and Conor pulls me into a hug. Immediately Conor and My phones begin to blow up with notifications, but we decide to put them on silent and head downstairs.
"So?" Jack asks as me and Conor walk down the stairs. "We uploaded it." I breath out. Jack hugs us both as we sit on the couch.
I feel my phone buzz and notice I have a message from an unknown number.
I unlock my phone and notice it's the same number that messaged me about a week ago.
"Meet me at the alley by Starbucks at 1:00am if you don't want anything to happen your and Conor's precious little relationship..." the text reads. My breath hitches and Conor looks over at me worriedly. "Babe? You alright?" He asks.
I feel myself start to shake and my vision goes blurry. Jack and Conor sound distant as I curl into a ball and tears slip from my eyes.

Conor's pov
"Dude I think she is having a panic attack!" Jack panics. I slowly place my hand on Alexa's shoulder, making sure not to startle her. "Alexa? Hey, everything is alright, I'm here. Ok? I'm here." I say calmly as Jack hands me a glass of water.

Alexa's pov

"I'm here. Ok? I'm here." I hear someone say as I begin to calm down. I'm not shaking anymore an my vision is back. I look over to see Conor and he immediately pulls me into a hug. He hands me a glass of water and I take slow sips.
"What happened?" Conor asks. Thoughts of what joe said to me came rushing back to my mind, "if it gets worse, you need to tell Conor."
I hand Conor my phone and he sees the message. "W-who is this?" He asks worriedly. "I don't know but I think it may be your ex." I whisper. Conor furrows his eyebrows. "Why would it be her?" He asks. I take a deep breath and look down. "Because I got a text about a week ago saying "you'll regret taking him from me"."
   I hear Jack's breath hitch and Conor doesn't say anything. "Why didn't you tell me?" He finally asks. I look down again and fiddle with my thumbs. I'm acting like a child that is being scolded.
   "Because I didn't think it was that important.." I lie. I was just scared.
   Conor sighs and I look up at him. He stands up from the couch and runs his fingers through his hair.
   "Why would it not be important Alexa?" Conor asks quietly, obviously growing aggravated and maybe angry?
   "I-I don't kno-" "do you not trust me?" He suddenly interrupts me. "Yes I do Conor, I'm sorry I didn't tell you ok?" I sigh.
   "Go home." He suddenly says. I'm taken back and feel my face begin to grow hot. "W-what?" "Go home Alexa, I'll text you when I get this sorted." He sighs and speed walks up the stairs. Jack looks sympathetically at me as I trudge out the door and text Joe.

A-Alexa  J-Joe

A-hey can you come pick me up from Jack and Conor's?

J- yeah, be there in five, everything okay?

A- Just peachy

After that Joe doesn't text back and I wait outside for his car to pull up. When I see his car I speed walk to the passenger side and get in. "Hey Lexa, what happened?" Joe asks with sympathy in his eyes.
   I sigh and fiddle with my sweatshirt. "Nothing important." I lie. I can tell Joe  knows I'm lying but decides to leave it.
   Once we arrive at the flat I rush past Caspar and down to my room. I lock the door and cuddle up into my blankets, but not before setting an alarm for 1:00am...

Hey guys! So what do you think is going to happen? We'll find out next chapter. Bye!
