Chapter 17

Carrying on from last chapter 💓

Emily's POV
I kept running,faster and faster, till I eventually fell down , face first. I felt someone grab my arms and pull me up, I couldn't see who it was, since my eyes were blurred with tears.

"Emily?"

I recognised the voice.

Their hand wiped my tears so I could finally see the person.

"Conor?" I questioned.

"Yep that's me, the Conor Maynard" he joked.

I tried to wipe the tears from my face but it hurt as I touched my face ,

"Ow" I screeched.

"Yeah don't touch if you have a huge scratch on your face from where you fell" he told me,

"Yeah it hurts"

"Come on I will take you home" he said as he picked me up and I put my arms round his neck.

"Thanks Conor"

"No problem"

Conor's POV
I carried her back to the flat, whilst she cried on my shoulder the entire way.

When we got back to the flat Joe answered the door and his face instantly went into shock.

"What happened?!" He asked as I placed Emily down on the sofa.

"Well I'm not entirely Sure so Em do you want to explain?" I said turning to her.

"So.."

Emily's POV
"So joe as you know I went down to see Jake as he has been ignoring my calls all week. Conor if you don't know Jake is my best mate from care. Well I got there and he told me that he felt like he had lost me to James. I told him that's not true and that he would always have me, he didn't believe me.... he told me to get out... I told him to let me stay.... to let me explain.... he just ignored me.... he started shouting.... by that point I was crying so much.... I couldn't even see... my eyes were blurred with tears... I ran out and down the street.... I ran faster and faster... tears streaming down my face... till.... I fell.... Conor found me and carried me back.... now I'm in so much pain" I explained to Joe.

"Wow, well we can worry about Jake later but let's get you feeling better first" joe said.

"Joe go get the first aid kit" Conor said.

He got up and went to get it.

Conor took a hold of my hands and told me everything was gonna be ok.

Joe brought back the first aid kit and wiped up all the blood that had gone down my face.

1 hour later

Conor has just left and I'm sat cuddled up in the sofa with Joe still crying about Jake.

I have huge scratch on my face from where I fell and it hurts like hell, right then there was a knock at the door and joe just shouted for them to come in. Seconds later James comes running in seeing me and his face goes into shock and he runs over to me.

"Emily what happened?!" He asked hugging me.

I then proceeded to tell him everything that had happened.

"Oh my god that's awful" he exclaimed

"I know" I said letting more tears fall.

"Please don't cry" he pleaded.

"Why?" I questioned.

He wrapped his arm round me.

"Because I don't like seeing you upset"
