After a little while of talking; Zoe, Connor and Evan were called down for dinner. The usual rice and beef mince. "Hey, who's this?" Cynthia asked either one of the kids.
"Its Evan," Connor went and grabbed another bowl for Evan and fill it up with the food and gave it to him
"Connors only friend." Zoe added
Connor look down at Zoe and shook his head at her trying to tell her it wasn't appropriate. Connor sat down in his usual place and told Evan he could sit beside him so he did
"So tell me Evan how did you become friend with someone like.. Connor, or are you his drug dealer?" Larry asked, Connor sunk into his chair when his dad paused when he had said his name like that.
"H-hes uh in my b-biology class a-actually.." Evan stuttered, He felt awkward after since it went silent.
Since the heater was on down stairs, specifically in that room, Connor rolled but his jacket sleeves revealing all the old scars and some stitched up newer ones.
"Gee put you sleeves back down." Cynthia joked, but Connor didn't take it as a joke, so he stood up and walked upstairs without another word.
"uh i-is he uh l-like this e-every night?" Evan awkwardly asked.
"Yeah most nights, usually when he doesn't eat his dinner we just throw it out and he comes down later and makes toast with jam and peanut butter." Zoe added.
Meanwhile upstairs Connor had his door closed, razor blades out and tears streaming down his face. The one time when his 'friend' was over his family had to point something out and he didn't want Evan to notice. He picked up one of the blades and cut through the scars. Blood streaming down the side of his arms as tears were doing the same. God he hated his family. He wished he threw that printer at his family instead of his year 2 teacher. Some quiet knocks were heard from the other side of the door he hoped it was Evan and he looked hopeful for a second but no, it was just his mom "Connor I'm sorry can I come in"
"No fuck off!" Connor yelled as she opened the door slightly "Do you not understand what No and Fuck off mean?"
"Yes I do but want to apologize that was u- Oh god Connor I thought you said you wouldn't cut yourself again!" She groaned
"WELL MAYBE IF YOU AND DAD FUCK OFF" He pushed her out of his room and closed his door sliding down on the back of it placing his head into his knees sobbing. More light knocks were heard on his door, this time is was Evan. Connor opened the door stepped out and pulled Evan into a hug trying not to get the blood on his clothes. "Shit Evan I'm sorry about them, they're always like that.." He started to calm down a bit now Evan was there. Connor brought Evan into his room and put the little box away that had his blades in, and climbed back out on the branch they were both on before, Evan followed him out once again
"h-hey you know its o-ok, right." Evan commented.
"Every night."
"what?" Evan questioned
"They do that every night, every morning." Connor sighed. "Hey do you know to play ukulele?"
"u-um w-well i used to learn guitar.."
"That's good enough!" Connor stood up on the branch and reached up high were he kept a bunch of things, an old iPod with some headphones, music sheets, ukulele, plain paper, pencils, a knife, ect. he picked up the ukulele and gave it to Evan "Play something if you want.." He sat back down with a sharpie in his hand "Hang on though give me your arm" Evan straightened out his arm with the cast on, Connor wrote his name in big capital letters since, no one else had signed it. "Ok what songs do you know on there?"
"I know um, S-sadies song i uh t-thing its called?"
"Sing it we're alone its just me."
"uhm o-ok" Evan closed his eyes and made sure he thought Connor wasn't there so he could think he was alone
"H-haven't you noticed I'm a star
I'm coming into view as the world keeps turning
haven't you n-noticed I made it this far
n-now everyone c-can see me burning
now everyone can see m-me burning
now everyone c-" Evan was looking Connor right in the eyes, the taller boys face had gone red, Evans singing was well amazing
"y-you uh l-like it?" Evan was bright pink too
"That was.. wow amazing!" Connor beamed
