Distance Between (Connor Franta fanfic)

Down hill

Ricky's P.O.V

Connor, Emily, Jenn, and I are in the middle of watching Mean Girls while sitting on the couch. During the movie I hear Emily's phone ringing, I look at Emily and see her looking down at her phone and her eyes widen.

After 5 seconds, I realized that she wasn't answering her phone. "You gonna answer that?" I ask. She just smiles at me but just drags Jenn to the restroom. What in the world are the doing? Connor and I just look at eachother confused. "What do you think they're doing?" Connor asks.

"How am I supposed to know?"

"Do you think they're on their...."

"On their what?" I said getting more confused by the second.

"You know... Monthly gift." Connor says awkwardly. I just stare at him, Why the heck would he think that? "Hey don't you have any pads or whatever in your room when you did a video."

"Yeah why?"

"Go get them then ask Emily and Jenn if they need any."

"Hell no! You get your butt up and do it."

"No they are your pads!" Yes they were mine, but I only used them for one video.

"Your idea!"

"Fine. Rock, Paper, Scissors?" Connor suggested.

"Fine." I said.

After three rounds of rock, paper, scissors, I sadly lost, and Connor just laughs at me when I went upstairs to get the pads. I go in my room and grab the pads from under my bed then I start walking towards the restroom that Emily and Jenn are in.

I was about to knock until I heard Emily and Jenn talking. "Oh my God I'm not ok. What am I supposed to do now? I don't want to lie to court and I really don't want to see him again. I'm gonna die if I do." Emily says. What is she talking about?

I can't be nosy! I'll just knock on the door. knock knock. "Uh are guys ok?" I ask. Man, I'm gonna kill Connor after this. They don't respond. Might as well..."Do you guys need any pads?" I ask really embarrassed, I hear the girls trying not to laugh. "Ricky we're fine." Jenn answers.

"Well excuse me for being a gentlemen." The door opens. I freeze staring at Emily. Her face, she looks so... worried. I hope she's alright, I'd hate to see her broken and depressed. I do realize I've only met her just days ago but I can tell she's a special girl. I notice everything: her laughs, her smile, her humor, the way she looks at me wh-

"Ricky. How di-" Emily starts asking, You like her, that irritating voice in my head tells me. What is it talking about? How is it possible to feel this way about someone when you just met them a few days ago? I decided to ignore it. Maybe these feelings are temporary?

"Don't ask." I tell her. Maybe if I sound a bit demanding, my awkwardness won't show. I walk away with the pads and head back up to my room to put them back under my bed. Why did I have to humiliate myself in front of Emily? Why did I have to be so bad at rock, paper, scissors?

Next day

Emily's P.O.V

It's only 12:35 and I'm bored out of my mind. I have already cleaned the dishes, checked to see what was on TV, and even wrapped a bandage around my forearm. It's pretty close to being healed now.

I look at my suitcase and realized I haven't really unpacked yet in the room Jenn and Andrea are letting me sleep in. That couch was really messing up my back so we all decided to clean out the extra room they have and just let me sleep in there.

I guess I can just start unpacking now since there is nothing better to do. I get my lazy butt off the couch and grab the suit case then head to my room.

I look around and see that it's so...plain, There is dust everywhere and the furniture is in wierd places. Well if I'm gonna fix it up I might as well blast some music on. I get my phone out and pick out She Looks So Perfect by 5 Seconds of Summer then connected it to the speakers. I turn the volume up and just start jamming out while I start getting all my clothes out.

Let's get out, let's get out

'Cause this deadbeat town's only here just to keep us down

While I was out, I found myself alone just thinking

If I showed up with a plane ticket

And a shiny diamond ring with your name on it

Would you wanna run away too?

'Cause all I really want is you

You look so perfect standing there

In my American Apparel underwear

And I know now, that I'm so down

I made a mixtape straight out of '94

I've got your ripped skinny jeans lying on the floor

And I know now, that I'm so down

By now I'm dancing around and singing along while I fold the clothes and place them in the dresser. I loved music ever since I was 4 maybe even before that, then I started learning piano and the guitar. That's why I wasn't really depressed or anything, music was something that made feel positive. Depression doesn't lead you anywhere.

Man I'm hungry I thought. I paused the song then started walking towards the kitchen. I walked by Jenns room and stopped when I heard some voices. I thought she was filming a video.

''Please don't tell Emily about this, she would kill me." I heard Jenn say. I froze, what is she talking about? I look through the creak of her door and see she is skyping Ricky.

''I won't, I was just really curious about what was going on when I heard Emily through the bathroom yesterday she sounded scared." I hear Ricky say. '' Well now you know why we want to-"

''What is going on? Jenn did you tell Ricky?" I asked, practically screaming in her face. Her eyes widen with fear, I can't believe her. ''Look, Ricky overheard us in the bathroom yesterday and he just wanted to know if you were alright." Jenn explains.

"You could've just asked or even told me about this! You know I didn't want you to tell anyone. What the hell Jenn!" I yell at her.

Everyone is quiet. Ricky is just staring at Jenn and I looking very uncomfortable and I honestly don't blame him. I look at Jenn and just storm out of the room and slam the door shut.

I understand that she couldn't lie to Ricky but she could've asked me about or something. I honestly don't understand life sometimes. And I really don't like it.
