Lead With The Worst of Me ~ A Treebros Fanfic (ConnorxEvan)

~5~

Evan's POV

"Who are you texting?" Jared asks me. 

"Oh, j-just um C-Connor." I answer.

"You mean Connor Murphy? Are you kidding me?" 

"W-what d-do you m-mean?"

What's wrong with Connor Murphy?

"He's the school shooter emo kid. Why would you want to hang out with a freak like him?"

"H-hey h-he's not a f-f-freak," I shoot back, defensively. "H-he's actually really n-nice." I feel myself blush a little for some reason. 

"GAYYYYYY," Jared screeches. "But seriously, he doesn't seem like the kind of person you want to be around." 

His tone strikes me. He seems almost concerned? 

Why would he care about who I'm hanging out with? Why would he care about me at all?

I get another text.

Connor: Cool. Ill pick u up at 3 on Saturday

"W-well we're h-hanging o-out this S-Saturday," I tell Jared.

His eyebrows furrow. "Just...be careful with him"

What is that supposed to mean?

"Um, o-okay?" I say, confused. 

Jared turns back to the TV and clicks on The Bee Movie. I stare at him wondering why he was acting so weird. 

Before I get lost in my overthinking, I send a quick text to Connor.

Treeboi: Ok see you then!

Connor's POV

Zoe barges into my room. "CONNOR you finished the-" she pauses mid sentence and looks at me questioningly. "Why are you all happy?"

"Oh I'm sorry, I'll just go hang myself instead. Would that satisfy you?" I shoot back, my voice dripping with sarcasm. 

"Yes, yes it would," she replies. We stare at each other for a moment. Then we both burst out laughing. 

A month ago we would have just started yelling at each other and been like "fuck you! and "well fuck you too, your mom's a hoe" and then "we have the same mom, dipshit" followed by "I meant your birth mom, you adopted slut." But yeah no, we don't do that shit anymore.                When I got into musical theatre I finally had something to be passionate about and so I became less of an angsty dick. I tried to be more... nice.                                                                                                       And then Zoe came out to me and I was like bitch same, I'm gayer than a fucking rainbow. And then we bonded or whatever so now we're cool. Of course, we are still siblings though.

"Anyway, I may or may not have just gotten a date with someone," I tell Zoe.

"Oooo who is it??" she asks.

"Nunya," I reply.

"Who?"

"Nunya business." 

She snorts. "What are you, 8 years old?"

"Shut up," I retort.

"Come onnn who is it?" 

I stay silent. 

"Do I know them?"

I question how much I should reveal.

"...yes."

She gasps. "Ooh are they from school then?"

I look at her but don't say anything. She still somehow reads my expression. "Ok so they are. Come on just tell meeeee."

"No."

"Please?"

 I shake my head, crossing my arms over my chest and staring at the wall.

"I'll give you all my black nail polish..."

This bitch is trying to bribe me? Well... she does know my weak spot. 

I shift my eyes to look at her without turning my head.

Fuck it. 

"Ok fine. You know Evan Hansen?"

"Ooo he's cute," she says with a wink. 

"No. You will not steal him from me," I glare at her. 

See this is the one disadvantage of having a sister who's bi.

"He's mine," I say protectively.

"Don't worry, don't worry. I kind of have my eye on someone else at the moment..." she says with a subtle smile.

I arch my eyebrow.

"Well... I guess if you told me who your crush was..." She sighs. "I like Alana. You know, Alana Beck? I think she's in your chem class."

"Oh yeah her." I pause. "Really?"

Zoe slaps my arm. "Hey!"

"I'm kidding, I'm kidding. I ship it." I give her a warm smile.

"Aw thanks," she says.

I love how we can just talk like this now. It's really nice.

A/N ~ Sorry this isn't like a great ending or anything but I didn't want it to be too long so... meh. It's good enough. It'll get more interesting later hehe

Sincerely, Me
