Smile For Me || Connor Ball

Chapter 12; kiss and make up?

Lucy's p.o.v

**************

As I said goodbye to James and walked out of the house Connor looked a little frustrated

"What's up?" I asked trying to take hold of his hand. He pulled away and stopped walking so I looked at him in confusion. He put his hand in his pocket and pulled out what looked to be a photo, it was the photo of me and Brad on his 18th, he's got one arm around my waist and the other in his hair, looking sassy as ever, and my arms round his shoulder with the other one on my hip, we're looking at each other and laughing, it was a good photo but why did Connor have it and where did he get it?

"Where did you get that?" I asked genuinely confused.

"Your bag" he spat.

"So you went through my bag? What don't you trust me? Or did you just think 'mm yeah I'll just look through Lucy's bag today' well?"

"Woah! I was tidying up and I picked your bag up to move it out of the way and it fell out. I just want to know why you carry a photo of you and Brad around but not you and me, do you even care about me anymore?" is he having a laugh?

"Right! For starters I don't have a print out version of that photo, it's on my phone so I've got no clue where it came from! And secondly I've got the first ever photo we took together in my locket, you know the one I wear everyday? Don't jump to conclusions Connor!" I felt my eyes fill up with tears and I yanked the locket from my neck and threw it at him

"Do not accuse me of not caring Connor and I don't know how you can even say that after last night! Do you really think that little of me?" I turned on my heal and ran, faster than I've ever ran before and all I heard was Connor yelling my name running behind me but I couldn't listen to him, he thought I was cheating on him, he genuinely thought I'd be cheating.

I carried on running until I reached the familiar house that belonged to a Bradley Will Simpson, I was certain that he'd put that photo in my bag and I was going to get it out of him no matter what it took. I knocked on the door and Brad answered straight away.

"Oh my Luce what's up?" he asked and tried to pull me in to a hug, I shrugged him off and walked past him.

"Back off Simpson, we need to talk and you need to be honest" I wiped my tears and he nodded.

"Did you put that photo of us in my bag?" His face dropped and he begun to play with his fingers.

"Um yeah, I don't know, I can't get over you Luce and I wanted you to be mine, and I still do" he didn't sound sorry or anything.

"You do realise what you've done don't you? Connor thinks I'm cheating on him with you, well do you know what Brad? I'm sorry but you've lost me now Brad, I hope you're happy, I'm not your friend anymore and I'm defiantly not part of your little plan to hurt Connor, he's my everything I've probably lost him too, I thought we'd sorted this out but clearly not, this is your fault Brad" I screamed, tears streaming down my face and as I was about to storm out I opened the door to Connor, he'd been crying?

Connors p.o.v

****************

She threw the locket at me and ran. I instantly felt bad, I looked at the photo of us in her locket, I thought she meant our first photo as a couple but it was the first ever photo we took together. I felt my eyes well up and as the tears begun to pour I knew I'd messed up and that I needed to fix it but first I had to see Brad. I walked to Brads with the locket still in my hand and as soon as I reached the door I thought about turning away but knew what had to be done. I raised my hand to knock at the door but it was opened to reveal a tear stained Lucy, she'd obviously not come over here to cry on Brad, she's been yelling, I could tell because her fists were still clenched and Brad looked kinda shocked.
