The insanely lonely jared Kleinman (connor x jared)

Chapter 5

   "he's just- gone!?!"

Evan was freaking the hell out. Connor just- just- up and disappeared!?!

  "i- I tried to stop him!" Zoe paced, her eyes mixed with distress and anger and so many things.. And jared.. Oh god.. She thought he was a cool guy actually..and his car was gone too...fuck.

  "w..well..m..maybe call jared? M..maybe he k-knows"

"he's gone too."

   Evan just froze now, "n..No he can't.. How do you know this, Zoe?"

"his car...gone. The house was empty as far as I could see.." Zoe clenched her shirt, tears just bubbled. God...maybe connor ran away because...well...The two must've ran away together... Maybe they felt invisible..like they could disappear...if only her and evan knew.. They could've done something. But it was too late.. Or was it?

  "h..hey.. W..we should j..just.. You know...call your parents.." evan stammered out to keep his tears in. He should've helped jared while he could. God he was such a horrible friend....and he knew this. Evan just paced, picking at his baby blue striped shirt, eyes stuck to the floor, awaiting zoe's answer.

   Zoe just grabbed evans hands with a comforting smile, though she was ready to cry too. "yeah.. We..I'll do that right now." she kissed him softly for a moment, then soon began to dial her mother.

Connor murphy's hands gripped onto the wheel as he drove, the sun setting off in the distance, they had left town some while back, and no one was coming for them, yet.. Maybe they would never find them..

  Hopefully.

Well.. That was a thought cleared. The car was hella silent since they left, jared falling asleep a few times, but awoke to car horns or a rough stop from idiots pulling out too early.  So.. Connor just looked to the wide awake jared, who woke up an hour ago. He cleared his throat and looked back at the road.

  "since... When have you been....uh..You know....trans?" connor bit on his own lip, his brunette hair resting on his shoulders.

  Jared looked to him, pursing his lips. At least it was something other than silence...."uh...5 years. My mom excepted me, my dad, not so much." he shrugged, "evan..excepted me too...but he left me.." he mumbled, rubbing his arms, faint scars visible as he did.

  Connor saw these, his heart just.. Panged... Did he feel hurt for him? Probably a natural reaction. But his heart really ached at the scars as well.  That wasn't normal, he just wanted to hug him and- okay, knock it off connor..

"well..You know I accept you right? And that I'm not going anywhere, kleinman"

  "yeah.. But you'll leave eventually. They all do.." jared bit on his lip, just turning to look out the window now.

  "'bullshit, jared. You're actually a cool ass guy, and I'm glad to be here, honestly." connor frowned, gripping the wheel tightly at how jared would believe he'd leave him. His eyes just darted to jared every few seconds and pursed his lips.

  Why the hell did he care so much about jared? Why?

Jared was still silent, but jumped almost at the small nudge to his upper arm, his head darting in that direction, seeing it was truly connor who did this.   He weakly smiled, but still grimaced. His face still hurt from the bruises, but he'd be fine. He delt with worse.

  "if someone told me two years ago though I'd be running away with connor fucking murphy, I'd whip a bathbomb at them." jared nudged back gently, snickering quietly, a hint of red in his face.

  "if someone told me two years ago I'd be running away with jared fucking kleinman, I'd punch them into a wall and go get high somewhere." connor slyly smiled, but he turned away so it couldn't be seen.

  "don't try hiding that smile, you lil shit" jared laughed quietly, though it slightly hurt, he didn't care.

  "I have no clue what you're talking about. I'm clearly not smiling." connor drove and looked ahead still, a smirk on his face instead.. And maybe he purposely made it flirtatious.  Jokingly, no homo, hahah...okay maybehemaybehadasmallverytinycrushonjaredbutitisaboslutelynothingtoworryaboutbecausejaredwouldntlikehimback.

  Jared snorted, looking away after a moment, his face a light pink but he ignored that. "you're smirking, same thing, asshole." he joked and looked ahead.

"sure sure. But hey, we're gonna pass a mcdonalds, you want some? Or just head to the nearest hotel?"

"I'm a fucking slut for that Ronald McDonald and mcdonalds, let's g o."

   Connor just couldn't help himself, he laughed. And that was something he did not so often. But jared always managed to make him laugh. "jesus, okay then." he started to head for the distant large M in the distance.

   Soon enough, both boys were driving for the nearest hotel, two milkshakes already half way downed by them and burgers eaten away, fries dipped into milkshakes, having jared just screech and call connor nasty af for doing this, connor objecting, but they laughed, and laughed, actually.. Having a good time. Both guys having no regrets of running off together.

  Jared just flipped back onto the hotel bed, well, motel. He just grimaced though and regretted that instantly. "jesus....I regret that" he chuckled and looked over to connor who was just laying back, his hair in a cute little bun. Jared thought it was cute honestly, and he didn't fluster over that, he was sure he had some attraction for the Murphy boy.. Connor actually cared.. He and him were here.. Together.. How could he not get some feeling?

  But, but jared was scared too. He was scared connor would treat him the same like Daniel did. So he didn't bother even saying a word to connor, not at all would he... Well.. Someday he would.. Just.. Not right now.

  While so, connor snapped out of his trance, he looked over. "sorry, what?" he raised a brow.

  "uh, nothing, forget it." jared chuckled and just sat up. He threw the empty milkshake out in a trashbin near the mini fridge. Classy af smh.  His eyes darted to the mini fridge, but he bit on his lip. What would be in there? Might as well look-

  The mini door slipped open, revealing, soda, water, sparkling water.. And maybe..

"holy shit, connor, there's liquor in here!" jared called back to connor in a a hush whisper.

  Connor just, ran over now. "No w-holy shit there's actual fucking liquor." he picked it out now, but grimaced at the expense. $39 for liquor...damn. "and it's 39 dollars..damn." he huffed. "but hey, we got LoTs Of money, so, if your up for it?" he waved the bottle right in front of jared's face with a grin.

  Jared just laughed. "hell yeah, dude. Let's have some liquor. I mean, no adult can stop us, the people here are too dumb to notice, and honestly, what's stopping us?" he smirked and got up.

  "that's true" connor grinned and saw the bottle opener left out on a nightstand, sweet. "now grab some cups, jared, and we are fucking set!"

  This was gonna be a night neither boys would never forget.
