Through thick and thin; A Conor Maynard fanfiction

Twenty-four

Jess's P.O.V

"Conor have you got Leonelle's overnight stuff?!"

Conor's head shoots out from the car window as I yell from the front door, the key already in the lock.

"Yes I put her things in the boot"

He smiled proudly as I walk over to the car, placing the keys down in my handbag after I've opened the gate.

"I hope you've got them now because if not we're screwed"

I glance back in the backseat to see Leonelle asleep in her carseat, her skin still golden brown from the holiday in South Africa we'd gotten home from just over three weeks now.

"Calm down baby, I know you're stressed but everything's in order, I double checked it earlier"

Conor place his hand on my thigh as we drive along the road and I take a deep breath before nodding my head. He was right, I was stressed, not only from life in general but also from the many projects going on at the moment.

"You know what would calm me down, listening to that new song of yours"

I smirk as he shake is head, handing me his phone so I can put on the song. It hadn't been released yet still it was all done so there was no wrong with me listening to it.

Can I still hear the silence when I’m asleep at night?
Do I notice everything when nothing is in sight?
In my dreams do I watch without ever really seeing?
Can love make me invisible to every other feeling?

Void of all emotion climbed the stairways of my heart
Choosing to reflect on a life ready to make a brand new start
Revealing all the secrets that belong inside my head
When I always meant to walk away from where I dared to tread

Still I see your eyes each time that I close mine
I can’t see a sunset without seeing your face in my mind
I’m losing all the loneliness that made me feel I wasn’t enough
Could this be how two hearts know that they are so in love?

 I hum quietly as Conor's soft vocals fill the car and I close my eyes. He had the voice of an angel, he was my angel.

" 'I'm losing all the loneliness that made me feel I wasn't enough. Could this be how two hearts now that they are so in love?' I love that bit so much"

Conor look at me, his signature smile on his lips as he taps his fingers on the wheel.

"Mm, it's true, I wrote it from my own experiences, it was how I felt after I met you"

I stick my tounge out at his cheesy comment and he just giggle, shaking his head.

Do I lose all sense and reason when I focus on a single face?
Crashing down defences keep my plans away from every place
Walking away from thoughts that block my vision of the future
Daring to believe it’s right to take my dreams even much further.

Though shadows follow closely behind my every step
I’m destined for the feelings that control the thoughts inside my head
So I take careful steps to walk on solid ground not sand
Looking for the one who can reach out and take my empty hand.

The pure emotion in his voice makes the song so real and I know that it'll top the charts from the day that it's released.

"How about we drive down to the actual area now just to have a quick look and then we can view it properly tomorrow when Nelle isn't with us?"

I nod and Conor turn right in the next crossing instead of going straight forward like we usually do and it doesn't take long until the many apartment blocks change to larger houses with gardens and nice fences.
