The Choice

Chapter 9

We walked into the empty O2L house. I assumed that the boys were in the backyard. I lead Ellie out the back while Sam went to find wishbone (jc's dog if you didn't know). I stepped outside and saw the boys. Trevor was the first to jump out the pool and hug me. Or so I thought. He lifted me up and chucked me in, well, both him and I in. I got out and said "you're lucky I left my phone at home".

I caught Ellie staring at Connor who was on the sun lounger.

"Hey Ellie. You liking Connor?!" I yelled so loud that everyone heard me.

Connor's POV

Ellie. That's her name. Ellie...a beautiful name for a beautiful girl. She looks scared, worried. I get up and go over to speak to her.

"Hi," I say rubbing the back of my neck.

"Em. Hi. I'm guessing you're Connor?" She replied sweetly. While laughing at me. I then realised that I was in nothing but boxers.

"Hey. Want me to go put clothes on and then we can go and get lunch maybe?"

"I've just finished lunch with Sam and Ria. But a walk would he nice. Stop at Starbucks again?" She suggests

"Yes! #C-O-F-F-E-E" I shout getting weird looks from everybody around me. I run upstairs with Ellie following.

I throw on my blue chinos and a plaid red shirt with a black collar. I gel my hair into a quiff. This is gonna be a good day...

Sam's POV

"RIA?!" I yell. Looking for her. She's gone. And so is Kian (yeah I forgot to mention but Kian was at the o2l house). I run upstairs looking for them. I pass Connor's room and see him and Ellie making out. Wow busy day for her I say chuckling. I hear screams coming from Kian's room...sounds like, RIA!!! I swear if Kian touches her, he's getting it!

I run into the room to see Kian on top of her. The anger rises up my body and taking control of my fists. I grab him and throw him to the ground punching his face. Before I get another hit on him, Ria tugs my shirt. "Sam. It's not what it looks like. I was using his bathroom because I couldn't find the others and he hid behind his bedroom door, I came back through and he jumped out on me. I screamed and he fell onto the bed laughing and I hit him, so he started tickling me. I swear!" Ria explains.

"Well. If that's it, then I'm sorry. Kian. Sorry."

"Damn right. Stop assuming things so quickly." Kian says under his breath.

"Well. You did try to rape Ellie. So what do you expect?!" I say getting angry again. What's with this boy?😶

"Look. I'm sorry. I told you why I was upset. It won't happen again. I just need my best friends back...please guys," Kian says pouting.

"YAAAAAASSSSS" Ria says while hugging him.

"Ehem. Right here!" I say laughing. Not trying to be jealous or anything, but she's my girlfriend. I know she loves Kian, but she's mine. I can't lose her. I just can't...

"Sorry babe, love you more. Don't worry" she says kissing my cheek.

"Yeah bro you're forgiven," I give Kian a "bro hug" and that's that. For now. That was strike 2. One more and I'm done.
