Too good to go (A Kingsland Road fanfiction)

Part 24

Amy's P.O.V.-

"Hey." Connor smiled, as he came and sat down next to me gently on bed.

"Hey. How are you?"

"I'm good. Nadine apologised to me earlier." He sighed, looking down to his hands that were resting on his lap.

"Oh. Did you-?"

"I said I'd talk to her in person about it. She's coming over tonight."

"Oh." Is all I say. Should I forgive her too?

Connor hadn't been here recently, neither has Josh or Nadine. I dont know where them two are, probably together. All I know is Connor was at his cousins to get away and now he's back, he's been back since this morning. 

"I have to Amy. I can't stand being away from her, not for any longer." He sighs sadly.

Wow. I get where he's coming from but now I'm gonna seem like the attention seeking one, being the only one who hasn't forgiven her. And for Josh...the messages stopped. So did the calls. The notifications. Everything. Its like he gave up. I think he did. It just- it hurt. But, I'm okay now. I'm moving on.

Or am I?

"Amy, please dont be angry with me. She wont bother you, but Amy, you have to understand. One day, Josh's gonna come back. He has too. He- he's staying in the band. He's coming back tomorrow." Connor says.

Then, to be honest, I didn't expect the next words to come out my mouth.

"Then I'm leaving."

The rooms silent for a minute, purely out of shock, before Connor speaks up.

"What? You can't!"

"I can, Connor. I can't do that. I can't do this." I plea, pain in my voice.

"Amy, you can't just leave. After everything we've been through, all of us, you can't just leave. Dont let Josh know he's won." Connor says.

"Connor you dont understand. We're different. You love Nadine and I know pretty damn well that she loves you too. The cheating with Josh thing was a mistake to her, you know it was, you just dont wanna admit it because otherwise you'll feel as if you're stupid and everyone will think that. No Connor, you're not! You're not stupid, but please, protect yourself. I dont wanna see you get hurt again, you're like a big brother to me. I know I should hate her right now but I dont, I love her to pieces because she's my best friend and has been for many years. Connor, go back out with her, you both still love each other but please, dont get hurt. I beg you." I explain to him, and he sits there, focused on me as he listens intensely.

"Thanks, Amy." He smiles, getting up and giving me a massive hug. He wraps his arms round me and I do the same, I love Conner's hugs.

"You dont have to answer this but... are you gonna forgive Josh?" He asks. I bite my lip, wishing he'd never asked.
