When it Gets Hard [JC Caylen Fanfic]

11: History

*CONORS POV*

When Makayla told Chey and JC that we lost contact, that was true but she didn't tell them why... I'm glad she didn't, because if she had I would be so embarrassed.

Flashback:

It was the first day of Middle School and I was nervous. I figure I'll end up eating lunch alone, and that I probably won't make many friends. I got ready and tried to look as cool as possible, I want to make a good first impression.

As soon as I walk into the school I bump into someone. Great start Connor. I look up and see a girl with long, dirty blonde hair, glasses and braces. Wow, she's gorgeous. She seems like she would be nerdy, but she looks sweet.

"Sorry, I'm really clumsy" she says as I'm admiring her features.

"No, it's okay. I wasn't watching where I was going. I'm Connor by the way." I reply.

"I'm Makayla" she hugs me. "I'm pretty friendly, if you couldn't tell" she smiles.

"So am I, but honestly, I'm nervous for today" I tell her honestly.

"It's okay, so am I. Hey maybe we have some classes together. Can I see your schedule?" she asks putting out her hand, so I hand her the piece of paper. "Oh my gosh, we have every class together. So, at least we know we'll know one person"

"That's amazing!" I smile. Then I see another boy walk towards us, and he grabs Makayla's hand.

"This is my boyfriend, Dylan." Makayla tells me, then he waves. I wish I could be her boyfriend. Oh well, as long as I have a friend. Then we headed off to class and had a good first day of school.

In fact, we had a good year of school. Me and Makayla were best friends. Dylan was kind of my friend too, but only in school. Me and Makayla hung out all the time, because we figured out we live 2 houses away from each other. Over the years her and Dylan and her were on and off and I was always there for her. Eventually, when we got in 8th grade they officially broke up but I wasn't going to try to be her rebound, just her bestfriend.

She ended up finding a new boyfriend as soon as High School started and I was jealous. They didn't last long, but she always seemed to find a new boyfriend afterwards. Finally, Sophomore year I couldn't take it anymore. One day I called her and she answered.

"Hey can you come over, I have something to talk to you about." I asked, trying to sound serious.

"Yeah, I have something to talk to you about too" she answered, sounding slightly sad. Then the call ended, and about 5 minutes later I heard a knock on the door. So I went to answer it and saw Makayla. We went up to my room to talk.

"Okay, let me go first, otherwise I won't ever tell you. I've liked you, since the first day we met. You've always been beautiful to me. You're amazing and I try to be the bestfriend you could ever ask for. I try to show that I like you! How do you not see? Why do you just always go to another boy instead of giving me a chance. I fell for you fast and I've never even got a chance. It hurts me a lot." I let it all out.

Makayla looks like she's about to cry "I.. I'm moving" she pauses "and I've always felt the same. Why do you think me and Dylan were on and off? I found other guys cause I figured that way I wouldn't get hurt by chasing after you. Sorry, I didn't notice" she takes a deep breath. " but it's your fault too! You should have told me sooner!" she then storms out. I stand there in shock. I can't move. Why did I have to be so stupid? I ended up just falling asleep, feeling slightly broken. The next day I go to see Makayla but I was too late, she was gone. She already left and I don't even know why she had to move. I ruined our friendship.

Flashback Over.

When she got here and realized who I was the first thing she asked was "why?" at first I was confused but then I realized what she meant. Why didn't I chase after her. Honestly, I had asked myself the same question so many times. Why Connor, why'd you let her go. I had no answer, other than I thought she didn't want me to. I realize now that's stupid. When I saw her though, all the feelings came rushing back. Sure, Chey was beautiful but Makayla, she was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen in my life. We agreed to go to breakfast and I'm hoping that I'll get a second chance.
