《Taming The Bad Boy》83.
Advertisement
I can very happily say that after Connor knocked Cameron out this morning, not a word was said about Mason, me, or our relationship.
Well, aside from Tyler DiMarco when I was at my locker, which Kalum decided to take it upon him self to slam him on the floor. Evidently, what he said about me 2 weeks ago, and Kalum finding out he drugged me at the beginning of the school year was not weighing on him very well.
After that he looked at me, smiled, and literally said. 'There's the real smile I've missed.' And hugged me.
I just wish I could find Kalum someone who really deserves him.
He deserves to be happy.
I'm really happy that he meant everything he said.
It just goes to prove how amazing of a person he is.
But right now, another guy is about to let me hear his opinion as I'm walking in to dance.
I walked in to the studio, and there Will was, pursed lips and raised eyebrows.
"Alright, let me have it." I held my arms out to the side.
He nodded. "We're friends right, as shitty as that may be?"
I nodded.
"Are you happy with him?"
I nodded.
He walked over and wrapped me in a hug. "Just, be careful. OK?"
I smiled and squeezed him back. "And if I'm not and he turns in to a fuck boy again, I will not stop you from beating his ass."
"That's my girl!" He patted my back. "Now, what routine do you think we're going to do this time?"
"Good question." Jane came walking in to the studio he and I were in. "Because I've been thinking about that too." She smiled.
"What you got Mama J." Will let me go and crossed his arms.
"I'll tell you what I'm thinking William." She booped his nose. "The next competition is a month away." She nodded. "And, it's in New York City." She smiled. "The week after New Years Eve. A lot of scouts will be there, and I think it would look good on both of your parts, if I let you two choreograph your duet."
He and I looked at each other and smiled. We both nodded.

"We got this." Will looked at her.
"100%." I nodded.
"Cant wait to see what the two of you come up with." She nodded.
We spent all of dance tonight trying to go through songs.
Turns out, this is a lot harder than we both thought. He thinks that we should to a hip-hop mixed with a bit of ballet. I think we should do a bit of acro mixed with ballet.
You know what, we'll argue about this tomorrow at school or something.
Speaking of school, I'm pulling up to it right now to grab Connor and Oaken to go to Joes.
But when we got to Joes, neither of my brothers said a single word.
"What is going on with the two of you." I took a sip and leaned back.
Connor looked over at Oaken.
"Oh no." Oaken shook his head. "You're the one with something to say. I'm just here to facilitate."
"What?" I gave him a look.
"Nothing Ol." Connor shook his head. "Just forget it. OK?"
"No." I shook my head. "What's up?"
"Connor had a small break down last night." Oaken nodded.
"About what?" I looked at Connor.
Connor sighed. "You and Mason are dating now."
"You said it was OK." I nodded.
"And it is. I'm trying for it to be at least." He nodded. "But I'm worried."
"Connor, you have no reason to be worried." I shook my head.
"I'm not worried about Mason. He made it abundantly clear that I don't need to be. I'm worried about you, and Mason."
"I'm." I shook my head. "Not following."
"Spending so much time together." He sighed.
"Con." I pursed my lips.
"He's my best friend Olivia, and you're my little sister. And I know, it's selfish as fuck. But what about me." He looked down.
"Connor what about you."
"I'm not going to have any time, with either of you now." He shook his head.
I sighed. "Connor, is that really what you think?"
"Every time I wondered where you or Mason were, it turns out you two were together. You guys spent every weekend together, and I started missing you, and my best friend. I don't want to miss either of you. I don't want to lose any more time with you like I did for the past few weeks and that's my fault. But Ol, I leave in the fall, and I know when I do that you and I are going to grow apart when we've been doing so good aside from the last few weeks. I don't want to lose my-"

"OK." I nodded. "OK, just. Con you're never going to lose me. I've told you that, boyfriend or not. But if this was part of the problem, you could've just talked to me instead of killing me slowly. Nothing in this world could make you lose me."
"I almost did. Last Monday, you literally told me that you and I were nothing because of all this. I don't want a guy, or a girl to ruin my relationship with you Olivia."
"I didn't mean that." I shook my head. "You know I could never mean something like that. Connor all I wanted was for you to see what you were doing."
"And clearly I did, but that doesn't change the fact that in a few months, we're going to be hours away from each other. I'll be in New York, and you'll be-"
"What?" I raised my eyebrows.
He sighed. "I haven't told Mason yet because I don't want to upset him, I'm just waiting for him to get his letter, but I got accepted to NYU. Mom sent my tuition check and acceptance last week."
"Why did you chose NYU, you wanted LSU." I sighed.
"Because you're going to be going to Julliard, and I wanted to be close to you, and just a drive away from Mom, Dad, Oak and Jake."
"Connor, we don't know if I'm going to Julliard." I shook my head.
"She hasn't been approached." Oaken pursed his lips.
"Why." Connor shook his head. "Why am I the only one who believes in you enough to say that you're going. Ol dancing, is like second language. You've devoted you whole life to it, and you're good. You're amazing. And it really sucks that you don't see what I see in you when you're on a stage, or down in your studio, or in the back yard just dancing. I'd be fine with it if I lost you in a world of dance, because it is literally your life. You'd be doing something you love aside from, well, fucking my best friend."
"Connor."
"Sorry, not the point. The point of all of this, is that I'm gonna be away from you, for a year. I don't want to lose anymore time with you." He sighed.
"Then don't." I shook my head. "Connor I'm not going to start ditching you for Mason. When we have plans, we have plans. Like tonight. We made plans and here we are. We can do this every Monday if you want. Just the three of us. And we'll hang out with our friends on the weekends. And when I have plans with Mason, I'll tell you so you're not wondering where I am all the time. But Con, you are bat shit and stupid if you think you could ever lose me because I have a boyfriend. You have a girlfriend, and we still spend time together."
"Because she's your best friend." He nodded.
"And he's yours." I nodded. "Connor, Mason and I, we both love you. To the point where we were breaking ourselves just to make you happy. We'd do anything to make you happy. You're not losing me, and you're not losing him. I mean, I don't think you could lose me if you tried, I am dating your boyfriend after all."
He let out a small laugh. "Every Monday? The three of us? Dinner?"
"Every Monday." I nodded and looked at Oaken.
"Every Monday." Oaken smiled. "See how things get resolved when we use our words and not ruin relationships." He patted Connors back.
Connor glared at him. "Maybe just the two of us." Connor looked at me.
"Sure." I laughed and nodded.
This is not a conversation I expected to have tonight.
But claps for Connor for using his words, and well, not hitting me like he's done everyone else recently when he doesn't like what they do.
He's trying and growing.
But Connor got in to NYU?

REND
In an alternate reality Earth, where a mysterious organization of superhumans fights eldritch horrors taking over people's minds, Erind Hartwell, a first-year law student with psychopathic tendencies and obsessive compulsion to follow an inexplicably arbitrary set of Rules, seemed normal in comparison.
