The Boys Next Door (o2l)

Chapter 8

(jc's pov)

"WHAT!?" I scream. no this can't be happening. he has so many fans and he is so young. I love him like a brother. "how long does he have to live?" I ask the doctor. "six months," he replies then leaves.

I looked over at Connor laying there motionless. this time the motionless is temporary but in only 6 short months, he will be like this forever. it pains me to even think about it.

as I sat there and watched him all of our memories came back. he was the reason I am here today. he started o2l. if he hadn't, id just be a teenager in San Antonio.

he woke up after 10 more minutes of waiting. "hey Connor how you feeling?" I gently ask him. I was so happy too see him awake but he clearly wasn't happy to see me. "get out and bring alexis." he demands. why was he so pissed? it really hurt me to think I ever did something wrong. besides what did he want from alexis? but he was the one that was dying, so I went out and called her.

(alexis's pov)

as I waited in agony I thought about why I cared so much about Connor. I didn't even know him. after like fifteen minutes jc came out. his face was red and blotchy- oh god that's not good.

"a-alexis Connor wants to see you," he stutters. "me?" I ask surprised. "not ricky or kian?" I ask again. he just nods.

when I walk in I see Connor laying there with bandages all over his body.

"hey," he says smiling. he looked so nice and innocent even under all of those bandages. "hey, jc said you wanted to see me?" I asked. before He could answer the doctor came in. "hello mr. franta, I'm doctor Stewart." "hi can you tell me what happened I don't remember anything." Connor tells him. "well sir, you got into a car accident with an 18- wheeler. the impact was very strong sending your car sideways and sliding. a stranger found you struggling and called an ambulance. they brought you here. you had some x-rays done and your wounds were taken care of. in the x- rays we saw you had a fractured skull. it was very minor and can be healed- however we saw something that we were not sure of in your brain. to make sure of what it was we took and MRI and then the bad news came. sorry to tell you this mr. franta but we found a tumor and you have terminal brain cancer," the doctor says. I couldn't believe it. no this can't happen. he's too young.

"ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!" Connor yells. I could see the anger in his eyes. "I'll leave you two alone," the doctor says leaving. "lexi we have to run away- you and me. we need to leave. I'm dying and I am in love with you. alexis I love you. I love everything about you. your athletic stature, your deep hazel eyes, your bubbly personality. we need to get away. we need to have a happy ending. I want to spend the rest of my short life with you. I wanna loose my virginity to you and have this amazing time with you. let's run away please?!" he spills. wait did Connor just say he loved me? damn.
