[color=#89cff0]"Yeah, it's spread like wildfire."[/color] Connor replied and shrugged before continuing. [color=#89cff0]"I was thinking something along the lines of the originator being a freshie. Couldn't have been someone in our year, right?"[/color]

[color=#89cff0]"I don't know, but they broke the unspoken rule of the bash."[/color] The blond said, taking the last sip of his soda and then crushing the can to enunciate his next words. [color=#89cff0]"Probably be hard to track whoever it was, though."[/color]

[color=#89cff0]"Hah. It's good to have friends in high places, I wager."[/color] Connor said. Mac had already finished off her food and was bid the blond a farewell. He shot her a smile and nodded as she went her way. [color=#89cff0]"Left as abruptly as she appeared, typical Mac."[/color] He murmured to himself. His phone had been blowing up for awhile now. Gerard, his brother had elevated the panicked text messages into phone calls. The blond opted to ignore it in favour of replying to Shiloh's text. She had been under the weather for quite a bit. 

Pausing for a minute he began typing a reply; [color=#89cff0][i][b]'Yo Shi. Yeah you've texted me this for the third time now. You doing alright?'[/b][/i][/color]. This was actually the first time she's texted him about the 'pain candy'. It was classic Connor, genuine concern salted with a side of 'screw with your friends a little bit'. He sent the reply with a chuckle.

Gerard called his phone for the fourth time. Connor groaned audibly. Returning the call is likely his best bet. Gerard may just fly out to Meadow and appear infront of Connor. The blond believed his brother was crazy enough to do that. He moved into an empty toilet for some semblance of privacy. With a sigh he internally braced himself for the eventual tongue lashing his brother would give him.

[i][indent][color=#89cff0]"Hey bro. Missed ya."[/color]

[b][right]"Why did it take you so long to pick up the phone, [i]Connor[/i]."[/right][/b]

[color=#89cff0]"Love you too, Gerard."[/color]

[b][right]"Save it. What the hell's this about a goddamn probation!? You know Mom and Da-"[/right][/b]

[color=#89cff0]"[b][i]Mom and Dad?[/i][/b] HAH, don't even start with that, all of a sudden they give a crap? I fucking doubt it, Gerard."[/color]

[b][right]"They do, Connor. You getting kicked out of Meadow isn't good for you right now! It'd bring up all sorts of issues with Mom and Dad."[/right][/b]

[color=#89cff0]"All sorts of issues!? Like what? They act like I didn't exist for years and all of a sudden they give a shit?"[/color]

[b][right]"They really DO care, Connor."[/right][/b]

[color=#89cff0]"... Ohh I get it. Don't they have that shareholders meeting; they're trying to get more investments from the stakeholders?"[/color]

[b][right]"It's not like that Conn-"[/right][/b]

[color=#89cff0]"The only time they acknowledge my existence is when I might make NOT them any money. I fucking get it. Alright, just tell Mom and Dad I'll be on my best behavior, I won't get kicked out. Then everything can go back to normal- with them ignoring me, right?[/color]

[b][right]"Let me finish-"[/right][/b][/indent][/i]

Connor dropped the call. It took everything in him to not throw his phone against the wall. With a few deep breaths he tried to calm himself. The blond has not been riled up like that since, well, the last time he and his parents and brother conversed. He buried his face into his palms. He needed to relax, he has no idea why his parents trigger him that much. It's something deep-rooted inside him; even when he'd tried to reconcile or make amends it would just be another shitty excuse and him flipping out. [i][color=#89cff0]Fuck, am I still a child?[/color][/i] He figured that he would send Gerard an apology after he's calmed down.

[color=#89cff0]"So much for that tongue lashing I thought Gerard would give me."[/color]
