The Corner Cafe [Connor Ball]

Chapter Forty-Four

-Connor's POV-

I stared blankly at the door, where Kylie stood only moments ago.

I didn't even have a chance to explain myself. The girls and the guys just assumed I cheated on Kylie with Ella. I would never, ever do that.

The guys kept yelling at me, but I can't hear a single thing they're saying.

I walked into my bedroom and slammed the door, I was spooning with Kylie in my arms just 10 minutes ago and now she's gone.

The boys opened the door and walked in. Only James was yelling at me right now, his face bright red. The other boys stood there beside him, trying to calm him down while half-glaring at me.

"How could you do that! She loves you!" James screamed, pushing me down onto the bed. He climbed on me and started punching me, but I only stayed on the bed, letting him throw one punch after another.

The boys rushed to my side and pulled James away from me. I can feel the pain on my face, but not as strong as the stinging in my heart.

Tris pulled James out of my room and down the stairs, probably downstairs so he could calm down. Brad came over to me and examined my face. "Nothing too serious, you might get a bruise or two but it'll be gone soon."

I didn't say anything, I just stared up at the ceiling. After a minute or two, Brad sighed and sat at the end of the bed, looking at me. "Con, why would you do that?"

I sat up and glared at him, "so you think I did cheat on Kylie, huh?"

He sighed again, "I don't know what or who to believe, I wasn't there when it happened. When we got there, Nicole looked like she wanted to defend you, which was the part where I don't understand. Knowing you, I don't think you would do something like this; however, James was there and he saw the whole thing..."

"He didn't see the whole thing, he only walked in when Ella forced herself on me." I growled.

Tris walked in with a defeated expression. "I couldn't calm him down and he just ran out of the house."

Brad nodded and Tris sat down next to him, still doing the half-glaring thing. Brad noticed and told him to stop. "You better explain what happened just now."

"I woke up in the middle of the night, and felt hungry so I went downstairs to get a glass of milk. After I finished drinking, I was about to walk back up the stairs when Diana came walking down, smiling seductively. She said she wanted to have a quick chat with me and I agreed, because I wanted to tell her to leave us all alone. She said she still loves me and was pressuring me to break up with Kylie; but I don't have anymore feelings for Diana. Kylie is the only girl I love with my whole heart. I asked Diana to leave you guys and I alone, because I don't want history to repeat itself again. Then she looked at something behind me and smirked, I was about to turn around and look who's there but before I could, she forced herself on me. I tried to push her away but her grip on me was so strong. And then you know the rest..."

I broke down once again, tears rolling down my cheek uncontrollably. Brad pulled me into a hug while Tris patted my back.

"I believe you, Con." Brad said.

"Me too. I know you love Kylie, it's written all over your face." Tris added and joined our hug.

A few minutes later, we pulled away and they gave me sympathetic smiles.

"Take a rest for now, we'll think of a plan to help you get Kylie back and explain to James what happened." Brad patted my shoulder one last time before walking out my room with Tris.

I got under the blankets and tried to sleep, but I couldn't.

Every time I close my eyes, I could only see Kylie with tears streaming down her beautiful face. Her eyes filled with hurt, anger, disappointment.
