Chapter 9

After talking on Connor's couch, Troye and Connor have become closer than ever. They have spent the past week chatting to each other at school, being spotted by many people at different places, and all-in-all having fun together (Although sometimes Jim forced Troye to bring Bethany along)

"I'm nervous, Troye" Connor breathed out as Troye fixed the older one's tie.

"Don't be, Con. It's just a job interview." Troye tightened the tie and stepped back. "all you have to do is answer a few simple questions, alright? They're fairly simple. And since you'll be an intern at the label I work at, I get some say into if you get hired or not, so you should be fine."

"What if they ask me questions about my current situation at home? What do I say?"

"Tell them the truth" Connor only nodded at Troye as he took one more look at himself in the mirror.

"Thanks for letting me borrow your suit, Troye"

"You're welcome. Now go, you're going to be late" Troye pushed Connor out of the record label bathroom and into the hallway across from the meeting room. "You'll do great" Troye winked as he himself walked into the meeting room where the interview would be taking place.

As Connor stepped in, there were 3 people sitting down. Troye, Jim, and Emma. They all had smiles on their faces - Troye had the biggest.

"Hello! You must be Connor!" Jim said joyfully. "I'm Jim Chapman" He smiled, throwing out his hand for Connor to shake, which Connor gladly accepted. "So, Connor, tell me about yourself"

To say Connor was nervous for this interview was an understatement. His palms were sweaty and he didn't know what to say - he barely talks to anybody anymore.

"Well, uh My name is Connor Franta, I'm currently 18 almost 19. I live downtown, I go to school at YT High school. I do have one other job that I usually work every Sunday from 12Pm to 6PM."

"alright, Connor. Why do you want to work here?"

"Well" Connor breathed. He really hadn't prepared for these questions at all, so by now he was totally winging it. He gave a nervous look to Troye who gave him a reassuring smile. "I lost my other job at the Café just around the corner, due to budget cuts and I really need another job. I saw that you guys were looking for a paid intern and I thought that this would be the perfect place." Connor took a deep breath, not wanting to continue. He just wanted to get out of that room as soon as possible.

"Why would this be the perfect job for you, Connor?" Jim leaned forward a bit, intertwining his hands on the table.

"Well you see, I always had this eye for music and I thought it would be cool to see behind the scenes" Connors voice cracked halfway through the statement. He totally bull shitted that entire answer - he just really fucking needed a job.

"I see" Jim leaned back in his chair and looked at his notepad before jotting some things down. The room stayed silent as Jim wrote in his notepad, Emma too, and Troye was just staring at Connor. The tension was becoming unbearable as Connor never broke eye contact with Troye. Suddenly, Jim spoke up;

"Tell me about your family"

It was as if Connor's entire world came crashing down as Jim spoke those words. Troye widened his eyes and let out a silent gasp as he continued staring at Connor.

Connor gulped, his Addams apple bobbing up and down in his throat. 'go ahead' Troye mouthed, hoping to calm down Connor.

"Th-that's the thing. I- I don't have a family?" The latter part of his sentence came out as a question. Jim's eyes widened.

"You don't have a family?" Connor shook his head at Jim's question, biting his lip in order to hold back the tears.

"N-no sir. Th- they passed away on my 18th birthday in a car accident. That's why I'm trying to gain another job - so I can afford the rent in my apartment."

Jim quickly changed the subject as he asked a series of other questions for Connor to answer. He was nervous, yes, but now that they knew about his family Connor was hoping they'd go easy on him.

"Alright, Connor. If you could step outside for a moment as Emma, Troye, and I chat." Connor nodded his head quickly and raced out of the meeting room. He sat down in a chair that was conveniently placed next to the door and put his head in his hands.

"Bad day?" A perky voice asked. Connor's head shot up as his eyes met with a lovely petite woman. "I'm Zoe, nice to meet you. And you are?"

"Connor" he replied, sticking his hand out for Zoe to shake.

"Ah, the infamous Connor. Troye talks about you a lot, you know?" Connor was confused as to why Troye would talk to this woman about Connor. Was Connor that interesting to talk about.

"All good things?" Connor replied, shakily. Even if Zoe was a girl, he still doesn't like talking to anybody.

"Of course! I'm his personal stylist, so he tends to tell me a lot about his personal life. It's actually quite fun." She laughed.

"So you know about the whole Bethany thing?" Connor was curious as to how many people exactly knew about Troye and Bethany's relationship.

"Oh of course I do!" She giggled again. "But how do you know?"

"Troye told me. He seems to trust me with these things." Zoe just nodded, biting her lip.

"Sometimes you can't help but to feel bad for him, ya know?" She sighed loudly, right before the door to the meeting room opened. "Well I'll let you get back to your interview. It was nice meeting you, Connor!" She called out right before she practically skipped down the hall.

"Come in, Mr. Franta." Jim smiled, gesturing for Connor to follow him into the room. "So after so evaluating," Jim spoke. "We decided it would be a great idea to add you to the team." Connor's eyes widened at the news.

"really?"

"Yes. And we know times are rough for you, so we intended on doubling your pay per hour than was we originally agreed on." Connor wanted to burst out into tears of happiness. This was great news, and it was all thanks to Troye.

"Thank you sir!" Connor replied. "Thank you so much!" after all the horror stories Troye has told about Jim, Connor was expecting that he would be looking for a new job in a matter of hours.

"Congratulations, Connor!" Troye smiled widely, running over to his friend to give him a quick hug. "We should go out for celebratory ice cream" Troye laughed, hoping connor would accept the offer. But before he could, Jim cut in.

"I don't think so, Mr. Mellet. You need to go out with Bethany tonight." Troye just rolled his eyes, giving an apologetic frown.

"it's okay, Troye. I need to go home anyways."

"alright, I'll walk you out" Troye offered, only to be stopped by Jim.

"Nuh-uh. You have to go meet Zoe so she can prepare you for your date." Troye let out a frustrated groan as he turned on his heels.

"Fine. I'll text you later, Connor"

"Bye Troye. Have fun on your date" Connor teased, sticking his tongue out.

"Fuck you" Troye chuckled slightly. "Bye Connie Frannie"

"Bye Troye Boy Sivan"
