CONNOR ??

[Chapter-XXIV]

"Don't burn down the house." Dad strictly said.

"We won't." Elliot answered.

"Don't throw any parties either."

"Definitely not."

"And no one better end up in the hospital. I don't want to get a call, 'Hey Dad! Elliot and Maverick got into a fight. I told them to stop, but they didn't listen to me so now they're both are in the hospital. Can you come back, please?' That was the most stupid thing I have ever had to listen and it better not happen again, so please behave yourself."

"Got it."

"That has happened 3-years-ago and you always repeat it before leaving." Thibbault commented with a roll of an eye.

"Dad, you don't have much time left. You should leave now or you'll miss the flight." Elliot said, shaking his head slightly, chuckling.

"Please don't do anything stupid in my absence, okay?"

"Trust me, we won't." Maverick chuckled.

"Oh, I trust you the most." Dad replied sarcastically.

Dad walked over me and placed a kiss on my forehead. "Don't be out after 6." I nodded.

"You're gonna be late." Maverick said.

"Thibbault. Watch over Connor." He said strictly and gave them both don't bully him look.

"Bye!" Elliot said.

"Bye! Love you guys!" He left and we heard the car drove away.

I saw Maverick jumping on the couch with excitement.

"Dad's gone, bro!" He yelled, throwing the pillow at Elliot.

"Freedom for the week." Elliot said, throwing the pillow back at him.

"Let's party!" Thibbault smirked.

"But we have to go to Harry's sister's birthday party, remember?" Elliot said, raising a brow at him.

"We'll throw a party tomorrow." Maverick said grinning.

"YES! Dad won't be back until next Sunday."

I walked towards the living room, where I saw Thibbault sitting on the couch, tapping away at his phone. Dad has already said that I can go to the party, but I need to ask Thibbault too, since he's in charge now.

"T-Thibbault?" I slowly called him.

"What?" He snorted in response.

"C-Can I g-go to B-Brynn's birthday party?" I asked, fiddling with my thumb.

"Brynn?" He looked up to me from his phone to me, quite perplexed. "Are you friends with Harry's little sister?" I didn't know that she had an older brother.

"Y-Yeh." I mumbled.

"No. You're not going to the party." He stated, his voice was laced with authority. "I'm going to be there and no one better know that you're.." he paused, letting out a frustrated sigh. "related to me."

"Okay." I said feeling hurt, walking back to my room.

I felt so hurt by his words, that he didn't even want anyone to know that I'm related to him.

I sighed and picked up my phone which was beeping. I opened it to see Lucas and Cameron were chatting in a group.

Cameron: Bring an extra tie.

Lucas: No!

Cameron: No problem! I'm going to call Mr. Kingsley and tell him that you're going to a party, when you're grounded and he has strictly told you not to. 😏

Lucas: I dare you.

Cameron: Wanna bet bro?

Lucas: Fine! I'll bring an extra tie. 😑

I turned my phone off and placed it on the desk, when I heard my door open.

"Why are you sitting there? Don't you wanna go to the party?" Elliot asked, with a frown on his face.

"Um..Thibbault told me that I can't go." I whispered, staring at the ground.

"So, you're not going?" He asked and I didn't quite understand what he meant.

"No?"

"Dad allowed you, didn't he?"

"Yes."

"Then why did you have to ask Thibbault?"

"Erm.."

"Get ready and you're coming with me." He said, before he started walking out.

"B-But--"

"Connor!" He said, using his loud voice.

I jumped off my bed and started getting ready.
