Through thick and thin; A Conor Maynard fanfiction

Eight

"Conor we need to talk"

I lean against the door frame to the bedroom and watch him slowly sit up in the bed. It had been a week since we drove down to Brighton and I felt an urge to get back home to daily routines and Leonelle especially. She'd been staying with Caspar and Merissa and I must say I feel guilty just leaving them to take care of my daughter.

"What's up?"

I walk up to him and sit down on the side of the bed, slowly pulling my hands through my hair.

"I think it's time to go back home"

Conor look at me and bite his bottom lip. He looked exhausted with dark circles underneath his now tired eyes.

"I don't know Jess, what about Anna?"

I sigh and walk over to the window, looking out over the small back garden.

"It's been a week, nothing will happen anytime soon, remember we have to get home to Leonelle"

Conor walk up to me, placing his hands on my shoulders, admiring the view just like I did a second ago.

"But my family needs me here Jess and Leonelle will be alright with Caspar and Merissa, she loves spending time with them"

I turn around and face him but he avoids my eye contact.

"So me and Nelle isn't your 'family', you think you can just ignore us in times like this"

The last few days had been hectic, Conor and Jack constantly being on edge, me trying to keep it together but I'd had enough.

"You don't understand Jess, my 'family', if that's what you wanna call them, will always come first when things like this happens, my sister is in hospital for fuck sake and you come here complaining over me not caring enough about you!"

I take a step back out of shock from his sudden outburst, the anger raging through my body.

"Fine I'll go home to my daughter then and you can stay here and take care of your fucking family Conor!"

Conor grab my arm but I'm quick to pull it away from him.

"Don't dare to touch me!"

I begin to leave the room when Conor pull me back to the window.

"Our daughter Jess, remember she's our daughter!"

I shake my head angrily.

"And who's the one who practically raised her and took care of her the years you didn't care a shit about her existence!"

Conor grit his teeth.

"She's still ours, we created her together and don't say I didn't care about her Jessica!"

Him using my full name gets me a bit taken back, he never called me Jessica unless he was really angry.

"I'm done with you Conor, I don't want to see you until you've taken control over yourself again, until then, have a nice life!"

Without looking back do I storm out of the bedroom, leaving Conor standing shocked in the middle of the room.

"Jess, what the fuck is going on!?"

Jack's voice is the last thing I hear before I slam the door to the house shut, quickly jogging over to the car that's parked along the road.

Plugging the aux-cable into my phone before I put my playlist on, turning up the volume until the whole car is shaking from the bass. I pull out onto the road and watch the house slowly getting smaller and smaller in the rear view mirror.
