Addictive

Reyna

*Your P.O.V.*

     I watched as Connor looked over the pictures on my wall. He studied each individual one, processing each person. I looked back out the window. I was really greatful Uncle Hank had come to get me. But I was traumatized over Reyna. Why did she throw herself on-top of me to protect me from the crash. I should have died with them. Now she's gone beyond repair, and I'll never have my dad, step-mom or my best friend back.

" Was this your family's android?" Connor asked pointing out the picture.

    I looked over at the picture of Reyna and I. We were both smiling, we'd spent the day at the park feeding ducks. I looked at Connor and nodded my head.

    " Is she the one that saved you?" He asked, then looked like he instantly regretted it.

    I could feel my heart breaking. Tears began to well up in my eyes just thinking of her. I nodded and quickly wiped the tears way. I didn't want him to see me cry.

    " Her name was Reyna." I said barely above a whisper. I could hear the pain in my voice, I sounded just as broken as I felt.

    The led on Connor's head blinked yellow, then went back to blue. Reyna's did that occassionly, I never knew why. He walked over to my bed and sat next to me.

    " Do you want to tell me about her?" He spoke so softly, his voice was soothing. Not like Uncle Hank's rough voice. The two police officers at the hospital weren't very comforting either. They both looked at me like a piece of glass that was about to shatter.

    I took a deep breath and nodded my head, " Would you like a cup of coffee Connor?"

    Connor smiled, I knew androids didn't feel thirst or hunger, but they could eat and drink just like humans.

     " I'd love one." He held his hand out to help me up. I took it.

     We went to the kitchen and I turned on the coffee pot. After a few minutes I poured a cup for Connor and myself.

    I sat down next to him on the couch. I watched as he took a sip of coffee, it was much too hot for me to drink. But androids didn't feel pain, that made me kind of jealous. I wish I couldn't feel pain.

     " Are you okay?" Connor sighed and shook his head, " Of course you're not okay. I'm sorry, that was a stupid question."

    I placed my hand over his, trying to reassure him. His led flashed yellow again.

    " I'm fine. Considering the circumstances. Don't beat yourself up, it's hard to know what to ask at a time like this." I croaked, my throat was dry. I took a sip of coffee to try and rehydrate it.

     Connor chuckled, " I should be the one comforting you, not the other way around."

    " Well, maybe that's just how I deal with it." I said squeezing his hand. He smiled wider which made me smile.

  " You have a beautiful smile (Y/N)." Connor whispered.

    I pulled my hand away from his and covered my face with the blanket on the couch.

     " What's wrong?" Connor laughed, pulling the blanket off my face, " why are you blushing?"

   " No one's ever said that to me before." I cooed.
 
     Connor's led went yellow, " Maybe you've never been around the right people."

    I snorted, " You have no idea."

    I swear I saw a concerned look on his face, but it happened so fast I barely noticed. I shrugged it off. I began telling him about Reyna.

     " My dad first got her when my mom passed away. She'd been sick for a while and unfortunately one morning she just didn't wake up. Dad started working alot more so it was just me and Reyna. Dad ended up dating again a year later and married a girl named Taylor 3 years after mom died. I thought it was a bit fast but I didn't say anything. She was okay, we weren't very close and they went out alot so I didn't see them much. Reyna was the only friend I ever really had through my teenage years. We went to movies together, restaurants, the park, basically did everything together. Now, she's gone.." I trailed off, thinking of Reyna.

      The police officers at the hospital told me her memory had been badly damaged and it couldn't be transferred to another android. Those words destroyed me.

    " Wow, she really was your best friend." Connor said matter-of-factly.

    I nodded, " she really was."

    We were both silent for a moment, a loud crash of thunder roared over the house followed by a flash of lightning. I instantly covered my head with the blanket and covered my ears.

    " (Y/N)? What's wrong?" Connor asked, concern clearly audible in his voice.

    " I'm scared of thunder and lightning." I whispered.

   " Thunder is caused by lightning. When a lightning bolt travels from the cloud to the ground it actually opens up a little hole in the air, called a channel. Once then light is gone the air collapses back in and creates a sound wave that we hear as thunder." Connor informed me.

    " I know what it is Connor," I giggled, " but I still don't like it. Reyna used to stay with me during the storms."

     I trailed off thinking of the last storm. Reyna had come in my room as soon as the firat clap of thunder sounded. She got under the blanket with me and hugged me to her. She told me it was okay and kept my mind off of it. I don't know why I was so scared of it, I have been since I was a child.

    " I can stay with you." Connor reassured me.

    He picked me up laid my legs across his lap so my head rested on his shoulder. He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me closer to him. I felt safe, even safer then I did when Reyna stayed with me.

    " Is this okay?" Connor asked nervously.

    I nodded, " Thank you Connor. I know this is probably really childish."

    Connor smiled, " Its not childish (Y/N), you can't control fear. Everyone is afraid of something, whether it's real or not."

    " Are you afraid of anything Connor?"

    Connor's led flashed yellow again, he looked really conflicted over something. Like he was trying to decide in his head whether he was or not.

    " I'm an android (Y/N), I can't feel human emotions."

   " Oh." I laid my head back down on his shoulder and closed my eyes. I don't know why I expected him to say anything else. I knew why Reyna felt emotions. She'd become deviant, protecting me.
