Back Where it all Started

Will you be my girlfriend?

I gotta say I wasn't expecting Connor's house to be as big as it was.

It was huge. I mean jaw dropping.

He doesn't even live in the school district.

Both of his parents being doctors really paid off.

We  both got out of the car and walked to the front door.

"Connor, are you okay?"

He nodded trying to unlock the door.

I stopped him from unlocking the door and turned him around to look at me.

"I know you're not okay and you want to beat the living shit out of Brian right now, but for now, can you please just pay attention to us."

I kept looking at him and he wouldn't look up at me not once.

"I mean look at me."

It took him a minute but he finally did and we looked into each other's eyes.

"I want you not to focus on any of that right now and just realize that we, you and I, are together right now and that you should be relieved."

He nodded and I sighed.

"Sophia, I just don't want anything to happen to you. I have never cared about someone this much before. I know we just met, I know that, but that isn't gonna change the way I feel about you right now. When you told me all of that in the car, I just wanted to turn the  car around and run him over and then get out of the car and beat him awake and then unconscious again. I know that sounds horrible but you telling me what you told me made me want to do that to him and I shouldn't have wanted to do anything that badly to anybody. I like you, a lot, and I want you to be with me and not with someone who is forcing you to be in a relationship with them. It hurt me when I heard that and when he was hurting you in front of me I didn't know what to do with myself, and that is why I walked away. I didn't mean to hurt you by doing that or ignoring you but that is what I had to do to keep myself from getting physical with him at that moment."

He sighed and closed his eyes and looking back at me.

"Look, I just like you a lot and want you to be my girlfriend. I mean, will you be my girlfriend?"

Everything he just said was a lot to take in and very overwhelming.

He said that he likes me a lot and I feel the same way. What he said about Brian was a little harsh, but he said it was because he cared for me a lot too.

I know that he isn't that violent or that he can be that violent when the moment comes and that's why he walked away because he didn't want me to see him in that state.

He also just asked me to be his girlfriend.

I mean I don't know what to say to that. I am technically still with Brian, but I don't want to be with him. And if I get with Connor right now then that will be considered cheating. I care more about Connor than I do Brian and if I become Connor's girlfriend behind Brian's back it won't hurt me. Though I don't want the slut title at school. But this could be a secret thing.

I smiled to myself and looked at Connor.

"Yes, that would be great."

He smiled also and picked me up hugging me.

"But!"

He put me down and looked at me with a sad expression.

"But?"

"It will have to be a secret."

"Oh, that wasn't gonna be a problem now was it."

He tapped my nose and I giggled.
