Chapter 30

Connor POV
--------------------------------------------
"C'mon Connor, you have to get up." Sam says, jabbing his foot into my left rib.

"No." I whine into my pillow. I refuse to leave my bed forever.

"You haven't shower in days Con, you smell like Shrek shat on you."

"Thanks Sam, you're a big help. But I'm currently not available, I'm too caught up in my depression!" I bash my face into the pillow.

"Drama queen." Sam mumbles under his breath.

I don't give a shit what other people say, when you love a girl and you break up with her (not technically a break up but it damn feels like it) the guy does not take it easy. If you truly love someone, and they break you heart, it feels like you just got ran over by a truck. Or at least you want to.

"Is he out yet?"

"Nope, still withering."

I snort at Sam's dramatic yet true comment.

"Is he even alive?"

"Alive enough to be a smartass."

"C'mon Connor-" I hear Tori's voice next to me, suddenly she rips the sheets off of me "-you gotta get up."

I groan and bury my head deeper into my pillow, "Connor stop being such a wuss, Kat will forgive you. She lo-lo-loves you." Sam says, spitting out the L-word was hard.

She loves me? How could she love an ass like me? He was probably just trying to make me feel better...

"No, Sammy Boy, I'm afraid she won't" I hear Kian's voice exclaim.

"What are you talking about?" Tori's voice has a razor edge to it.

"I'm talking about the text she just sent to him." I spring my head up and grab the phone in Kian's hands.

Kat: I'm sorry but this kind of thing is unforgivable :(

I drop my phone on my sheets and lean back into my pillow.

Tori carefully picks up my phone and reads the text message, her face falls and I know she feels for me- but the problem is I don't want people to pity me.

"Connor, I-"

"I don't need your pity Tori, this is between Kat and I and we don't need an audience. And I sure as hell don't need a 'get well' group to help me cope. Just leave guys."

Without another word, I smash my face back into a pillow and fall fast asleep.

Tori POV
--------------------------------------------
Kat hasn't called me in a week and I'm worried, ok maybe not a whole week but it feels like it.

I decide to check in on her, I pull up to her driveway- to my surprise there's another car parked in the driveway.

Maybe her mom or dad are visiting with their new car?

I knock on the door lightly, I hear a lot of footsteps and shuffles before Kat opens the front door.

Her hair is a mess and her shirt is all wrinkled, was she put in the dryer?!

"Hey, uhm I just came to check on you. I know you've been pretty bummed about Con-"

"Yep, yep I'm fine. Absolutely fine, thanks for checking in!" she smiles and tries to shut the door.

I keep the door open with my foot and stare her straight in the eye. Her pupils dilated and I knew what was going on, "You're lying. Who's here?"

Her breathing hitches and I know it isn't a family member, before I could accuse a figure appears behind her.

"Babe, who's this?" a blue eyed blonde haired boy asks her.

He licks his lips as he rakes his eyes over my body, "I'm Tori, Kat's best friend. Who the hell are you?!"

"I'm Keaton, Kat's boyf-"

Kat elbows his stomach before he could finish his claim, "He's my friend, I met him at-"

"At the bar down the street." Keaton smiles. He really doesn't know when to shut thy mouth, because Kat elbows him a second time.

"Since when do you drink?"

"Since whenever I want to." Kat huffs.

I can tell she's trying to show off to her new 'babe'

"Whatever, that doesn't matter. Kat we need to talk."

"Whatever you need to say, you can say in front of Kayden."

"It's Keat-" Elbow.

Without another word I march back to my car and drive as fast as I can home, I can talk to Kat later. But right now I need to figure out what's going on with her!
