I sit beside Connor, feeling the rise and fall of his breath. Our favorite show playing on a channel for the visually impaired, like me. "You sure you don't mind the voice over?"

Connor puts an arm around me, "Of course I don't. I love you, and this is how you have to do things. Besides, sometimes I close my eyes and watch like that."

I giggle, "You dork!"

"But I'm your dork."

"True."

A few minutes pass and I hear something. I listen carefully, I feel uneasy, like something's up.

Connor looks at me, "You good? Is something wrong?"

"I thought I heard something."

"Want me to go check?"

I nod.

Connor gets up and walks towards the kitchen first. I listen carefully. I get worried when I hear him stop moving. I wait a few more seconds. "Connor?" I hear nothing. "Connor?!" Something hits the floor. "Connor!"

Loud footsteps rush into the living room. "We need to leave."

I'm relieved to hear Connor's voice, "Connor, what's wrong?"

Connor picks me up and doesn't say a word. He carries me outside and puts me in his car.

I wait for him to get in the otherside, "Connor, please? You're scaring me."

"I'll explain later." He starts the car and drives off.

I sit in an uncomfortable silence. I wish I could see Connor's face, is it mad? Worried? Scared? I can't tell what kind of energy he's giving off.

"Mind, uh. Telling me how you feel?"

"Why?"

"I can't tell."

"I'm... scared. And worried and confused."

"What happened?"

"Wait till we get to my house, kay?"

"But Connor-"

"Please, wait."

"Okay...Sorry."

Connor carries me up to his room; I'm not familiar with his house yet. He carefully places me on his bed.

"Can you please tell me what's going on?"

"Someone broke into the house. I needed to get you out of there."

"Did you press the button on the alarm system?"

"I did, yes."

I sit quietly.

"I didn't want to scare you, that's why I brought you here."

"Okay.

"I'm sorry. I should have told you. Now your mad at me."

"I'm not mad."

"But I didn't-"

"Connor," I cut him off, "I'm not mad, and I'm sorry if I sound like it, but I'm not, I promise."

Connor wraps his arms around me. I hug him back.

"I love you," Connor hugs me tighter and puts his face in my hair.

"I love you too, Conn."

Wow, this was bad... sorry guys...
