SHORT CIRCUIT, connor dbh (discontinued)

"Liv, I can't do this," Noah said as he stood in front of his sister. In less than 30 minutes, he was expected to walk down the aisle to get married in this gorgeous, fairytale-like wedding. However, now he had realized the mistake he was making. This man wasn't who he said he was. Something about Liam wasn't right. Noah had no idea what he was planning, but knew he didn't want to be a part of it.

One detail he failed to tell Liv was that one of the people Liam wanted was an android. He repeatedly described them as a tin-can over the phone. When Liam met Connor, Noah saw his hatred for andriods, but he still didn't understand what he wanted with one.

He knew Liv would worry about Connor if he mentioned it. Noah was certain he was just being paranoid about all of it, so he didn't say anything else. Now he just waited on Liv to say something. She still looked shocked.

"You don't want to get married?" Liv said in shock.

"No! I can't do this, I've got to leave."

"I'll go get Connor, and you get your things; is there a car we can drive to the hotel?" Liv asked as she looked through the curtains over the windows. Noah looked around an end table, then picked up some keys and threw them to her.

"I'll be back in a minute, be ready," Liv said as she went back outside, searching the area, trying to find Connor. He wasn't far from where she had last seen him. She ran up to him, as fast as she could in heels.

"Connor, we've got to go."

"But we'll miss the wedding?"

"There isn't going to be one," Liv said, then ran back to the room where Noah had been, who was waiting for them.

"Try not to let anyone see you, run to the car. We'll be there in a second," Liv instructed Noah. He nodded and then went out the door. He quickly got to the car, and hadn't seemed to draw any suspicion from the guests. Connor and Liv were about to leave, waiting a few seconds to not seem like they were following Noah out. Before they could exit, Noah's mom walked into the room.

"Where's Noah at?" Madeline questioned.

"I think he went to the bathroom," Liv explained, "He'll be back in a minute, I'm sure."

"Well he better be. He's got to be out there in a few minutes, and hell if I'm letting him mess this up," Madeline said, "You should probably go. I doubt he'd want you here anyway."

"You're probably right. Alright then, goodbye, Madeline." Liv smiled.

"Bye." she snickered as Liv and Connor went back outside. She went out to where several cars were parked, searching around the cars for any sign of where Noah was.

"He's hiding behind the red car," Connor said after he scanned the area. Liv went over to the car Connor was talking about, and Noah stood up.

"The car was locked," Noah explained. Liv unlocked it with the key and they got in. She caught a glimpse of Liam turning towards where the cars were parked.

"Go!" she yelled, wishing that the car would start going to their hotel already. The car started and Liam must have heard it. He started walking towards the car, picking up his pace as he got close enough to see them. The car finally started moving as he got to the window next to Liv.

"Get the hell out of my car!" Liam yelled. She shook her head no and flipped him off, a smirk on her face. He chased after the car, but eventually couldn't keep up as the car started going faster on the road. Liv opened the sunroof and poked her head out.

"Bye, bitch!" she yelled as she flipped him off again. Liv put her head back in the car and smiled at the two in the car with her.

"She really enjoyed doing that, didn't she?" Noah asked Connor from the back seat.

"Definitely."

"They're gone," he said into his phone.

"What do you mean they're gone?" The man said, raising his voice.

"They left the fucking wedding. I don't know where they went."

"You have one fucking job!" the man sighed, "They'll be back in Detroit within the next few days, most likely. I'll track them down, but keep looking for them."

"I have no idea where they could have went!"

"They live on the other side of the country, there's only a few places they know to go to! Try, I don't know, their goddamn hotel!" the man said, rolling his eyes.

"She stole my car," he said, poutingly.

"Liam, I don't give a fuck! Just go find them!" the man said and hung up his phone. He threw his phone on the ground in anger, then stepping on it.
