The Youngest Chapman (COMPLETED)

- 33 -

These past several months, Conor and I have been fighting so much because of the Maria situation and I don't know if we're getting closer or farther apart. Later today, Conor is supposed to fly out to a gig in another country and I don't know how I'm gonna be without him here to comfort me about Maria. I mean, I guess I have Jack but he's not his brother. Conor makes me feel safe, he's home to me. I'm currently sat on Conor's bed, watching him pack his bags. Conor sees my frown and sighs lightly.

"Babe, it's only for a couple nights. I'll be back before you know it, okay?" He reassures me. I nod and give him a pout. He smiles at me and makes the 'come here' motion with his hand. I rush over into his embrace, holding him tightly to myself. He brushes my hair back and cradles my face in his hands before placing a gentle kiss you nose. I close my eyes while he does so as I breathe in his scent. Conor doesn't really wear much cologne or spray of any kind so his scent is usually just his natural scent and I prefer it because I think he smells amazing. I move my head slightly, making our lips connect as we kiss like its our last. My hands make their way into his hair as Conor's hands make their way down my back. He lifts me up as I wrap my legs around his waist and carries me over to his bed, slowly leaning us down onto it. I feel my back hit the sheets gently before Conor starts to slowly remove our clothes, leaving soft kisses all over my body. My breathing is heavy and slow as the sensation he gives me covers my whole body. I pull him back up to me as I reconnect our lips.

"Eager today?" Conor teases.

"Shut up and make love to me already," I tell him, breathlessly. He gives me an amused smile before complying to my demand.

I'm sitting up in Conor's bed with the sheets still covering my naked body as I watch Conor getting redressed. As Conor finishes packing his bags, I slowly get dressed with my back toward him. Not long after, I feel arms wrap around my waist from behind as I feel lips on my neck. I smile to myself and lean against Conor's chest.

"And here I thought I was the one pouting," I tease him as his lips make a trail of kisses up to my ear.

"I'm gonna miss being able to do this. Even if it's only for a couple nights," He tells me. I turn around in his arms and place a soft kiss on his lips before pulling him into a hug.

"I miss you already," I say quietly to him, making him hold me tighter. After a moment, I pull back and smile at him.

"I'll meet you downstairs." I leave him with a lingering kiss before making my way to the 'public' area of the apartment. I find Josh and Jack sitting on the couch with their laptops, most likely editing videos for their YouTube channels.

"Hello boys!" I greet them before sitting in between them on the couch. Josh mumbles a greeting back while Jack flashes me a big smile.

"You give Conor his going away gift?" He teases while giving me a wink. I lightly shove him on the arm, making him laugh.

"You're ridiculous Jack Maynard," I say with a laugh. Suddenly my phone makes a noise, meaning I got a message. I look at it to see the unknown number, aka Maria, again. I frown and open it to see what she has to say now.

Unknown:
Guess Cody doesn't respect your relationship with Conor as much as you thought he did...

She attached a link to a YouTube video so I click on it and it turns out to be a new song from Cody.

I stare at the video in shock as the lyrics are about me. Jack and Josh are both watching me carefully as tears fall down my face. I set my phone down on the coffee table and stand up. I walk to the middle of the room as one of my hands raises to my lips.

"Cody...he still...how could he...wh..." I barely manage to get out.

"Something you want to tell me?" I hear Conor's voice ask me from the doorway. I turn to look at him, only to see him with an angry expression.

"I thought you said you were just friends now?! That all you had together was the music?! That you and him were over?! That you'd never get back with him?!" Conor yells at me before I could speak. The tears are now waterfalls as my heart breaks at the look he's giving me.

"Conor, I-" I don't get to say what I was trying to say because Conor cuts me off.

"You're a hypocrite, Katherine." He grabs his bags and leaves the apartment before I could defend myself. I drop to the floor as I just completely breakdown in front Jack and Josh. Jack rushes over to me and pulls me into a brotherly embrace. He rubs my back as I cry into his chest.

"Shh, it's okay. He just needs time to cool off. When he gets back, it'll all be fine. You'll laugh about it later," Jack says to try and comfort me but it just makes me cry harder.

"I...could...kill...him...Cody..." I breathe out in between sobs. Jack just holds me til my cries turn silent and my tears run dry.
