The Corner Cafe [Connor Ball]

Chapter Forty-Six

-Nicole's POV-

I rushed to the door and opened it, the girls standing outside with sad smiles on their faces.

"We just wanted to come and check on Kylie." Victoria whispered. I nodded and let her and Ingrid in.

"Who's there?" I can hear Kylie ask from her room.

"Victoria and I came to visit since there's nothing else to do. You don't mind, right?" Ingrid walked towards Kylie, who was now standing at the bedroom door. Kylie only nodded and smiled sadly, the girls following her into the room.

The doorbell rang once again and I turned around to open the door. Ella stood there with Jacob behind her.

"Hey." Ella greeted, "I heard about what happened last night so we've decided to come to visit Kylie."

I invited them in and pointed towards the bedroom. "Victoria and Ingrid are inside with her." The couple nodded and walked into the bedroom as well.

I got a few cups and filled them with water before bringing them into the room for our guests and joining their small talks.

"Are you sure you don't want to come with us?" I asked Kylie who was sitting in the living room with a book in her hand.

She nodded, "you guys have fun, plus I really don't feel like going out tonight."

"Just call any of us and we'll come back, alright?" Victoria asked and Kylie gave her a thankful smile before waving us out the door.

Ingrid received a call from Brad a few minutes ago, saying that the boys want to meet with us at Connor's house for an emergency meeting, which we know has something to do with Kylie and Connor's situation.

I couldn't find a chance to explain privately about what happened to Kylie and when I try to say something about last night, the other girls just cut me off and send me a glare.

We took a taxi to Connor's house and all the other boys have already arrived. We sat around the living room, the atmosphere was thick and serious.

Everyone sat around the coffee table, other than Connor who was sitting away from the group, staring at the blank television screen. His eyes were bloodshot and dark circles were visible under his eyes.

Brad cleared his throat, catching everyone's attention.

"So, we're all gathered here today because of what happened last night."

The girls, James and Jacob's glares were immediately directed to Connor, who shifted uncomfortably. However, the other two boys in the room immediately jumped to Connor's defence.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what James said yesterday wasn't the truth!" Tristan said, and the glares turned from hatred to confusion.

"What do you mean? I knew what I saw! They were kissing!" James shouted, pointing at Connor who flinched at his angry tone.

Everybody in the room immediately started throwing questions and insults at each other, while Connor and I kept quiet. He looked at me with a questioning look and I sent him a small smile which only made him look at me with an even more lost look.

The loud discussion continued on for a few minutes before I've finally had enough. "Shut up! All of you! Shut up and listen to me!" The room immediately quieted down and everyone diverted their focus on me. "Connor didn't cheat on Kylie. I actually saw what happened but you guys never gave me the chance to explain, nor did you give Connor a chance."

"But he—" James started, but I cut him off.

"No, James, listen to what I have to say." I walked to Connor's side, Tris and Brad joined me and we stood protectively beside him.

"Actually, Connor told us what really happened last night, and we believe him." Tris added.

I nodded and started to explain what I saw last night. After I finished, Connor explained from his point of view.

I watched as the others' faces turned from confusion, to shock, to sadness, guiltiness and anger.

"That little bitc—" Ingrid screamed out loud, as the rest of her sentence was blended in with everybody else's cursing.

"How could she do that?!"

"The next time I see her she's not gonna get away with this!"

"Poor Kylie!"

"I'm so sorry about what happened Connor!"

"I knew she was trouble when she walked—"

We all glared at James, "don't you dare finish that sentence."

He gulped and gave us a sheepish smile, "in."
