Too Fast (A Connor Franta Fanfiction)

Chapter 14

^Lilly's P.O.V.^

So on the way to the guys' house we run out of gas and stop at the gas station. I pumped $15 and grabbed a watermelon Arizona for Connor.

'I hope this is a good peace offering', my brain said.

We made it to the guys' house in record time and rushed to the door.

I rung the doorbell and we waited impatiently outside.

"What if he's really mad? He didn't sound to happy on the phone!" I complained, pacing the front porch.

"Lil, calm down! Once you explain, I'm pretty sure everything will be okay" Jen reassured.

Ricky opened the door with a worried look on his face.

"Hey, you probably hate me but can I please talk to Connor?" I asked calmly.

"I don't hate you, Lilly!'", he chuckled. "But I need your help with Connor. He kinda has this condition where if he doesn't get atleast 2 hours of sleep a night, he gets cranky and grumpy. Some people think that's normal but he gets uncontrollably mean and hard to work with. It kinda contradicts his whole love for coffee, huh? Yeah, but I guess he was worried about you or whatever and he didn't sleep. His doctor prescribed him these sleeping pills for when he has sleepless nights but we can never get him to take them. They knock him out for at least an hour but he wakes up fully rested and nice again. Do you think you can help?"

"Of course" I said awkwardly. I grabbed the pills and Arizona and ran upstairs.

I walked into Connor's room to find him in his spinny chair. I gasp.

'Omg he looks horrible! But still adorable...how? I don't know! He really didn't sleep at all. Did I cause this?!'

"Connor? Are you okay?! You look exhausted." I cried, looking at him.

"Why does everybody keep asking me that? I'm fine! Not that you care!" He growled getting up to sit on his bed.

"I do care, Connor. Very much...Um..Here you must be thirsty, I brought you an Arizona and these new candies that I thought you might like."

He took the pills and Arizona and finished them in like two minutes. He started blinking and his head starting swaying then, he passed out.

I started walking around his room...I plopped down next to him on his bed, then thought better of it and went back to the spinny chair.

I moved his computer mouse and the screen lit up. It showed his recent videos, including one he posted today called "I hate Mondays".

I got a bad feeling and clicked on it.

Halfway throughout the video, I started crying. I can't believe I thought he was a bad guy! Everyone has a story! Ricky was right, a lot of his fans are very concerned and he's getting a little bit of hate.

I still don't know. Am I ready to tell him about Josh?

'I think you can trust him', my brain said. And for once, I agree.

I danced around the room for awhile til I heard a long sigh. Connor rolled around stretched, then opened his eyes to look up at me.

"Good morning, beautiful. Have we met?"

"Umm.. Connor? It's me. Lilly? You might hate me, but can we talk?"

"Oh, Lilly? Yeah sorry" he said rubbing his eyes and blinking. "I could never hate you. What happened?"

"After I left, I guess you didn't sleep. You started being mean to people and you posted this video on YouTube...it wasn't pretty...I'm soo sorry! It's my fault!" I cried.
