There's silence for a brief moment
???: Ouch!
Me: I-it can't be
???: And it's not... It's Connor
Immediately my worries and hope turned into rage
Me: WHAT THE FUCK!
I got up closed my bedroom door and sat back on my desk
Connor: Happy to hear from me?
Me: How did you get this number!
Connor: Got my links
Me: Wtf
Connor: And you're forgetting I live next to you
Me: DO NOT CALL ME AGAIN
Connor: WAIT! WAIT! It's important! Andre's missing
Me: I care because?
Connor: He's your brother
Me: Not anymore
Connor: He will always be your brother, no matter what
Me: Well find someone else who actually cares about the guy
Connor: I can't involve anyone else, it's too dangerous
Me: So you decided to involve me instead, do you not care about my safety
Connor: Thing is you're already involved. Listen when you got back home Andre stayed in the neighbourhood to watch over you, make sure that you were safe but, I haven't seen him since, my guess is someone took him. I think Andre was kidnapped.
Silence
Me: Ahahhahah
Connor: This is funny to you!
Me: Ahaha well-
Connor: Funny yeah? What if Trey had Andre! Do you know what he'll do to him? But since you find this funny then you're no help. I see where your loyalty lies.
Me: Loyalty? Ahha my loyalty never lied with him...or you! It's with my family and Simon
Connor: GET OVER HIM! SIMON IS DEAD
Me: BECAUSE YO-
I then realise that I'm shouting so i lowered my voice
Me: Because you killed him you evil fuck!
Connor: I had to
Me: No one was forcing you! You did it to get back at me for leaving you! You did it to make me jealous... Which didn't work because you loved me and I didn't feel the same
Connor: I still do
Me: Still do what?
Connor: Love you
Silence
Connor: Lexi?
Me: Fuck off! You're wasting my time
Connor: WAIT!
Me: WHAT CONNOR WHAT!
Connor: Andre being kidnapped makes your family a target
I slowly moved my finger away from the end call button
Me: How?
Connor: If Andre was really kidnapped by Trey that means that you guys are at risk. Trey knows Andre too well to know that torturing him physically won't do anything but, if he hurts you guys it would kill him.
I didn't want to admit that Connor was right but, he was. Anyone who knew Andre knew that he cares about his family more than about himself. I stay silent on the phone just thinking of plans of getting Andre back. I suddenly had this rush of worry flood my emotions. I forgot about him hurting me but, thought about how much I love him and how much he cares about me.
Connor: Lexi?
Me: Ohh sorry
I said after Connor interrupted my thoughts
Connor: Are you in?
A pause
Me: Yes! Yes I am

It was later on in the day, me and Connor had finished our elongated conversation about plans to get Andre back. He had other boys of his helping us, all they needed was instructions of the plan, which we do not have, in order to do the action required. I had to set some boundaries and rules with Connor, I stated that this partnership between me and him was strictly to get Andre back nothing more, no romantic connections at all.

I became a bit peckish after all the revising and that disturbing phone call so I decided to grab a bite to eat. I was midway down the stairs when the door bell rang
Me: I GOT IT MUM
I shouted to the kitchen
I opened the door wide and saw two police officers standing by the entrace
Officer 1: Hello Miss Ford, we're here to ask you some questions on your missing brother, Andre Ford.
