Chapter 28

Tori POV

----------------------------------------------

My eyes flutter open and I realize I'm on Kat's couch. That's right, we were watching movies for as long as I can remember.

I guess we eventually crashed.

I groggily stand and pick up my phone, 5 messages!

I quickly open my message app, 3 from Jc and 2 from Connor.

Jc: where r u?

Jc: Tori?

Jc: r u at kat's?

I quickly text him: Yeah I crashed @ her house b home soon

Then I realize it's 3 am, oh well.

Connor: I went to kat's where r u

Connor: tori! r u at kat's?!

I hastily text him: yess shes pretty upset

I hear Kat start to move around so I launch onto the couch and attempt to fall back asleep

By 4pm I pull up to the boys' house, turns out waking up at 3am means you sleep for the rest of the day.

I walk in and it's completely quiet, "Guys? Anyone home?"

Silence.

I shrug and roll onto the couch, suddenly I hear a creaky door.

I curiously tiptoe upstairs, I find that Connor's door is open.

I hear weeping, I crack open Connor's door ajar. He doesn't see or hear me.

Tears fall from his eyes as his hands are covering the top of his head.

He sits on the bed, his head wallowing in depression.

"C-Connor... are you ok?"

His head springs up and he wipes his eyes, "Fuck Tori you scared me, get out."

I'm taken back by his response, did he just kick me out?

"Did you not hear me?! Get out!"

Connor pushes me gently out the door, I spin on my heels and push him back.

"Connor, what the hell has gotten into you?!" I yell at him.

"Nothing! Just get the hell out!"

"No! Stop being an ass! I know something is wrong! What is it?!"

He groans in frustration, "I don't know anymore!-" he runs hands through his hair in frustration "-I'm crushed about what I did to Kat and I don't know what to do anymore! I feel like a complete ass Tori! I just know what to do anymore..."

That's when Connor breaks down, he looks like he can no longer support his weight as he falls to his knees on the floor. His wall of manliness cracks and all his emotions pour out onto the floor.

I lay his head on my lap as he rehearses how to breath, I run my fingers through his hair.

"Tori?" Connor croaks.

"Yes?"

"Do you think she'll ever forgive me?"

"Only if you prove her wrong."

"Tori?"

"Mhmm?"

"Do you think I'm an ass?"

"No. I just think you're just confused, this is your first love Con. You don't know how to respond I this, if you show her how much you love her I'm sure she'll forgive you."

A single tear falls down his cheek, and can't help but feel a pain in my heart for this heartbroken boy.
