Forever and Always: A Connor Franta Fanfic

Ch.4

*Haley's POV*

I woke up to the feeling of Connor's chest moving up and down. When I looked up he was asleep too. The last thing I remember before falling asleep was he said he loved me. Was he being serious. I knew he loved me, but as a sister, or best friend. Did he really actually love me? All sorts of questions were running through my head when I felt Connor move. I looked up and he was awake.

"Hey Haley."

"Hey. What time is it."

He checked his phone, "It's almost five thirty."

"Five thirty!" I exclaimed, rushing up from the couch.

"What's wrong." He said.

"Nothing's wrong, I just have gymnastics practice at five forty five! I need to get ready."

Gymnastics was the only thing that made me happy in life, I could just go do gymnastics for hours, and all my worries would go away. I ran up the stairs and grabbed my favorite leotard. It was blue, with silver swirls through the middle, and had blue rhinestones outlining the top of it. I threw it on, put my hair in a ponytail, and brushed my teeth. I threw on some shorts and flip flops, grabbed my car keys and ran downstairs. I was starving, considering all I ate today was an apple, so I grabbed a banana. I was about to run out the door when I remembered Connor.

"Connor?" I yelled

"Yah?"

"I'm going to gymnastics, you can hang here, or go home if you want."

He walked over and said "Actually, I was wondering if I could come with you, to watch you? I've never seen gymnastics before, and I heard your pretty good."

"You've never seen gymnastics before?!"

"Nope, never."

"Well yeah, you can watch me. But I'm not that good." I said looking down at the floor.

"Haley I'm sure your amazing!" He said.

We walked out the door to my red Mini Cooper, and hopped in. We drove about five minutes to the gym and I got there right on time. We walked in and I told Connor he could sit up in the viewing area. I put my stuff in the locker room and went out on the floor to stretch. I looked up to where Connor was and he smiled and waved.

"Oooohhhh is that your boyfriend!" My friend Grace said laughing.

"No, he's my best friend."

"Hey what about me?!" She said.

"And you too." I laughed.

After we were done stretching we started to get to work. I went to vault and did some Yurchenkos. On beam I worked on my backhand spring, and back tuck dismount. On bars I worked on giants. And on floor I worked on standing fulls, and round off double backhand spring back layout, into a front tuck. When I was done with practice, our coach came and talked to us about a meet we had in a few weeks. Then I went to the locker room to get my stuff, it was already 9:30. I went upstairs to grab Connor.

"Haley. You're. AMAZING!" He exclaimed.

I blushed, "You really think so?"

"YES OMIGOD THAT WAS AWESOME! I couldn't take my eyes off you!"

"Thanks" I laughed.

We got into my car and drove back to my apartment. I quickly took a shower, ate some leftover pizza, and got ready for bed. I walked up to my bedroom and got into bed. Connor came up to say goodnight.

"Haley?"

"Yes Mr.Franta?"

"Don't you get lonely here, all alone by yourself?"

I sighed. "Yah, sometimes."

"Oh."

He walked over and gave me a hug.

"Well, see you tomorrow." He said, walking towards the door.

He was just about to walk out when I spoke up.

"Connor?"

"Yes Haley?"

"Will you um... I mean could you.... Maybe... Um." I couldn't spit it out. "Will you stay with me tonight?" I said really fast.

He turned around, "Of course, like I said I'm always here for you."

He walked over to my bed. Took off his shoes, and climbed in next to me. I snuggled up real close to him, and he wrapped his arm around me. I smiled to myself, and fell asleep.
