Connor's POV

I was pacing around the apartment, not knowing what to do. I loved Amy and I knew she loved me too, but I didn't like the idea of her hiding something from me. Part of me wanted to call her and beg her to be with me again, but another part of me wanted to hold onto this grudge, even though I knew it was kinda ridiculous to...actually completely ridiculous to.

I sighed and fell back onto the couch. Maybe I was overreacting... Maybe it wasn't as big of a deal as I made it out to be? Well honestly, it was kind of dumb to leave her at the house with Kian... He was obviously gonna try something with her. God I was so dumb.

I pulled my phone out of my pocket and opened my photos. I smiled at the few weird ones her and I took together a while ago. We looked so happy just to be with each other. Now here I was, alone, trying to decide whether her and I should still be together or not. Why would I even think about letting Amy go? I sighed and dialed Amy's number. I wanted her to be here with me and I wanted her to be my girlfriend again. I wanted everything back to the way it was and if we really worked on our relationship, things could be the same as it always was. My heart practically leaped out of my chest when Amy answered. My excitement quickly changed to confusion when I heard that she was out of breath, however.

"Connor?" she answered.

"Amy? Why are you out of breath?" I asked her.

"Uh... I-I was crying," she replied.

I sighed. That made sense. I hated the fact that it was my fault that she was crying.

"Amy I'm sorry."

"You're sorry? I should be the one who's sorry."

"Well yeah...but I still kinda overreacted. I mean, we've been together for a pretty long time and I mean, we shouldn't end it over something like this. We should work it out together. I love you."

She stayed silent for a few seconds. "Are you being serious?" she asked. "I mean, you're not drunk and just saying all of this, right?"

I laughed gently. "No, I'm not drunk. I'm serious, though. I don't want us to be broken up."

"M-me neither."

"Amy, are you crying again?"

"Yeah tears of joy," she replied sniffling.

I smiled widely. "I'll be there in like 10 minutes to pick you up."

Amy's POV

"What was that all about?" Kian asked.

"Let's just say that this little friends with benefits thing is over," I replied, wiping away the remaining tears.

"We've literally only been doing this for a few hours!"

"Our agreement was just until Connor and I get back together and at the moment, Connor wants to get back together so..."

He sighed. "It was nice while it lasted I guess."

"Yeah and Connor will be here any minute to get me, so I should probably get ready to leave."

He sighed again. "I'll miss you."

I stood up and kissed his cheek before exiting the room. I happily jogged downstairs and sat on the couch to put my shoes on, only to be greeted by Ricky and Daphne.
