Through thick and thin; A Conor Maynard fanfiction

Twenty-seven

Jess's P.O.V

"Are you honestly going to leave me in the middle of this?!"

Conor flung his rucksack over one of his shoulders as he turned around to face me in the doorway.

"Jess I've got to work, why is it so hard for you to understand that my songs won't write themselves"

I sigh, the anger bubbling inside of me.

"One day Conor, You could've skipped work for one fucking day so we can get this bloody move over and done with for once!"

He shrug back as I take a step forward, my hands crossed hard over my chest.

"I've been off work for weeks Jess, I know it's a lot left to do but you should be able to do the most of that on your own"

Rolling my eyes can I tell he's doubting his decision to leave me in the middle of this. Yet he just shrugs his shoulders and grab his car keys from the chest of drawers that's stood in the hallway.

"Sorry but I have to go now baby, see you tonight"

He lean in to give me a quick kiss but I just turn my head, his lips connecting with my warm cheek instead. I don't even know why I reacted like this, yet I was furious.

............

"Should I be worried about the fact that you haven't even said hello to the person you would class as your best friend?"

I give Jack a quick glare, the worry being clear in his eyes.

"Nahh, just not in the mood today"

He rolls his eyes and focus back on the ground in front of him. My hands were stuffed deep into my pockets and I'd zipped my thick jacket up to my chin to keep out the cold November air.

"You know I won't take that as an answer, You either tell me what's going on or I'll bring up the phonecall I had with your so called boyfriend this morning"

I sigh, the memories from this morning coming back to me. We were both exhausted from the upcoming move and neither of us had gotten enough sleep over the past couple of weeks.

"Yeah, we argued and what about that, it's not like it's a crime to disagree with someone"

Jack grab my arm and stop me from walking. I look up at him, the pain in his eyes making my heart beat hard in my chest.

"I care a lot about you Jess but I also care a fucking much about Conor, just seeing you two this upset makes me worried. I know it's hard at times like this but you need to be strong, please for Nelle's sake, for the little one's sake, you're not a kid anymore J, you're soon to be a mother of two"

He plead, his eyes interlocked with mine. I sigh, he was so right yet I found it hard to understand how the person so many people judged as dumb had just given me the worlds greatest wake up speech in the middle of a street in London. 

"Yeah you're right"

I look back up at him, my lips now curved up in a smile. I needed to stay strong for what we had.

"Good girl, now to the reason why you wanted to meet me today"

We continue walking along the not too busy road. Talking about something that I'd been thinking about for the last week or so.

"Just wait here for a second, I'll have to go get it from the back"
