It's Complicated- an O2L Fan Fic

Connor reveals

        I spent the next week with a computer and a scanner. I was scanning photos and putting them on disks. I had used all the photos I could find. I also found some disks with old videos on it.

        By the time the week was over I had made 8 tapes. One for each member of O2L, one for me, and one for movie night, which was all the videos I had found. Each boy's disks had any pictures they were in on them.

        I packed up all the disks and headed out of the house. I drove to the O2l house with a smile on my face. The boys were shooting a group video, so I would be able to talk to all of them, and give them their pictures. I was also excited to see them because I had been avoiding talking to everyone, except Connor.

        I pulled up near the O2L house and got out. I went in without knocking, I knew I wouldn't walk in on anything going on, in the living room, at 2 in the afternoon.

        I saw all the boys sitting in front of a camera talking, then turn their heads twoards the door. I laughed and sat down in front of the camera with them. They were all looking at me, like me coming over was the most outlandish thing in the world. I sat down in front of the couch giggling, "Hey O2L, it's Lani. So boys what was this video?"

        Connor just started laughing, "Ask O2L."

        "Ooo!" I squealed, "Ask me one of the questions about one of you guys. I bet I could answer it!"

        Ricky was looking at me with almost pure hatred. He had on a smile, but I could see the lies hidden in his eyes.

        "Okay." Trevor said, "What will most likely be the next cover i do?"

        "What's that song your always humming...... errrrrrggg!" I couldn't think of the name when I remembered, "Am I wrong!"

        "If I don't find a better song that will be my next cover. Wow Lani." Trevor replied.

        "People don't think I'm as smart as I am." I laughed.

        "Next question!" Connor cheered. It was so crazy how he could fake all the perkyness in the world for his fans, he really did care about them, "Are Lani and Ricky....."

        I cut him off, "So O2Lers you guys'll have to deal with the fact that there is no more time for questions. And I need to steal them anyway so..... Bye!" I screamed the last part. I made geust apperances on O2L so much it wasn't weird for me to just end a video. I had done it before. I had actually been in a lot of group videos with them.

        I walked over to the camera and turned it off.

        "Why are you here Lani?" Trevor asked. I could barley hear his voice over JC, Kian, and Sam asking, "What happened? Are you okay?"

        "I'm fine guys." I mumbled, then perked up, "and I brought presents!"

        The boys all got up and surrounded me, except Ricky, who only followed lamely behind.

        I was in the middle of handing out the disks when Ricky asked, "What are these anyway?"

        "Well Richard," I replied looking up at him, "They are all the pictures my mom had saved of us growing up."

        "That's so cool!" Sam smiled at me.

        "Thanks." I replied handing Ricky his disk, "and if you want to, I have some stuff you can look through in my car."

        He just nodded and went up to his room. "What's this." Kian asked picking up the disk labeled movie night.

        "It's some old videos I found of all of us."

        "Let's watch them!" JC cried out.

        I sighed and put it into the DVD player. "Shouldn't we get Ricky?" Sam asked.

        "If you guys want him here." I sighed."

        "What happend?" Kian asked sitting next to me when I sat down. He put his arm around me. Kian had always been that protective big brother figure. I never felt attrakted to him in anyway.

        "We may or may not have broken up." I said shrugging off Kians arm.

        "Why?!" I heard a course of three boys. The three boys that were to dumb to have noticed anything earlier. I mean, come one, even the 16 year old figured it out!       

        "He thought I was cheating on him.... which I wasn't!" I added.

        I could see Kian tense up. He looked like he was about to go kill Ricky. He was super nice to me. He had always been like that to me. When a group of kids bullied me in middle school he came to the school just to beat them up.

        "Who did he think you were cheating him with?" Sam asked. The boy who didn't know any sort of boundery.

        "Connor." I mumbled, "Which again, I wasn't."

        "Why did he think that?" JC asked.

        I was about to respond when Connor said, "Lani's been helping me deal with my depression!"

        "Connor!" I gasped.

        "What?!" All the boys asked at the same time.

        "It's been a little over a month. Lani is the only one who's known, and I haven't felt confortable telling anyone else."

        "Connor, you didn't  need to keep that from us." Sam said.

        "We could have helped you through this." Trevor added.

        "Yah, but I just, needed to get my stuff in order before you guys had to deal with it." Connor replied.

        "Are you sure your okay?" JC asked. Connor nodded, "Well it's still okay if you need to talk to us."

        "Thanks guys." Connor smiled.

        "Wait?" Kian asked me, "Ricky broke up with you, because you were spending time with Connor, but in reality, you were helping him with his depression?"

        "Kian, you don't need to do anything, this is between Ricky and I." I replied.

        "But all of us know you aren't going to do anything." Sam chimed in. I gave him a death glare.

        Kian nodded then got up and was storming up the stairs, "Why do you guys care so much about me?" I sighed following Kian up the stairs.

        I had to run at the top of the stair to catch up to Kian. He had already started on his rant, "How could you! It's not her fault she couldn't tell you. It wasn't her secret! You went and broke her heart before you knew anything! Your an idiot! I hope you know that! All she was doing was being a better friend then you ever were to you! Want to know what she was doing with Connor all the time? She was helping him deal with his depression! Yep, his depressions back, and all you cared about was hurting your best friend!" Kian was fuming at this point, and Ricky looked shocked. He seemed like he was having the hardest time processing all of this.

        "Um..." I said, "Thanks Kian, you can leave now." Kian nodded and went back down the stairs. I went into Ricky's room and sat on his bed, since he was sitting at his computer.

        "Lani I'm..." Ricky started.

        "I know your sorry." I sighed, "Its also partly my fault, I could have handled everything differently."

        "No." Ricky said,"You handled it perfectly, I'm the one who was wrong. I wouldn't be surprised if you said no, but, is there anyway we can forget the past week and half?"

        "Ricky," I sighed, "I can't. I can't just get back together with you. I'm sorry, but I can't. But I really hope that by not wanting you as a boyfriend, I don't loose you as a best friend."

        Ricky just got up, walked over to me and gave me a hug, "I don't think I could never not be your best friend."

        For the first time in over a week, I truely smiled.
