Chapter 25

Jordan left the next day, I was finally free of her terror.

Sure she only made my best friend's boyfriend cheat on her- but what she said to me scared the shit out of me.

But now she's gone, and now to deal with Connor.

I woke up fresh and early Thursday morning, 7:45 am to be precise.

I walk over to Connor's door and open it slightly, his room was huge!

But I quickly spotted his bed, he was fast asleep on his side.

He was facing me (well the door), his cheek was pressed up against the pillow and his mouth was open.

He looked so peaceful- oh well.

"Connor!" I scream at the top of my lungs.

His eyes spring open, in a haste to get up, he trips over his sheets and falls to the floor.

I walk over to the groaning Connor, I lean over his head.

"Morning." I smile and he glares darkly at me.

"Why the hell would you scream when I was sleeping?!" he groans and sits up, still groggy.

I shrug, "Just bored."

"Just bored" he mimics, still looking at me like he wants to gouge my eyes out.

"Listen Connie, you have a big day ahead of you!"

"What."

"You're gonna tell Kat everything's that happened, ok? Then you're gonna say sorry, and if you so desire, beg for forgiveness."

"And what's my motive?" he stands to his feet.

"I won't hesitate to break your fucking face."

Connor's eyes widen, then he smirks. "You wouldn't hit me."

I mirror his smirk, "Try me."

Connor rolls his eyes and collapses on his bed.

"We leave at 11." I spin on my heels towards the door.

I feel something land behind me, I turn back around- it's a pillow.

I roll my eyes like Connor did, I pick up the pillow and don't miss a beat hitting him in the face.

It slides down his face and I open the door, "We leave at 11" I repeat.

I close the door when I'm out and walk back to the living room, I lay back down on the couch and close my eyes.

"Tori? Tori..." I feel a shake on my shoulder.

I groan and open one eye, I see Jc hovering over me. He smells of pine cones and mint, I sniffle in and smile.

He smiles at me, "Connor told me tell you he was going to Kat's without you."

My eyes widen and I snake out of Jc's trance and off the couch. "What?! We were supposed to go together!"

Jc looks at me concerned, his expression softens.

"Don't you think it would be better I you weren't breathing down their necks. That's not very, what's the word- romantic."

I take a deep breath and let it out, "You're right, I should let them have their moment. I should call her-"

Jc silences me by pressing his lips to mine, he should tell me to shut up more often.

"C'mon, let's go do something." he smiles at me.

I nod and head to the bathroom to get ready, Kat and Connor should be fine. I mean Connor would do the right thing without me- right?
