Anyways, just finished finals! Hurrah! More writing time hopefully! Hope
this is good, I've never written the lovey dovey stuffy before.
Connor had just gotten into his room when the phone rang.
"Hello?" He asked with a sing-song tone.
"Hey, Connor? It's me, Dawn. Is this a bad time?" You could tell by her voice she was trying her hardest not to start sobbing.
"Oh my god, Dawn. Of course not. What happened?" Connor's stomach twisted as his mind thought of the worst things possible.
"Um, I kind of can't talk here, I'm in the middle of the hallway." Dawn sniffled, "Connor? You still there?"
Connor dropped the phone and ran up four flights of stairs to Dawn's room. He looked around the corridor to see his Dawn hanging up her phone and burying her face in her hand.
"Dawn!" Connor shouted.
Her head shot up hearing his voice.
"Connor. Everything is ruined!"
"Come on," Connor soothed, "Let's go down to my room."
Dawn shook her head, "No. I've gotta get some food for my sister. She came to visit. I'm sorry I called, it was stupid." She searched her purse for her keys.
Connor took her arm, "You can't drive when you're so upset. It's dangerous."
Dawn gave a tiny smile, "That's sweet, but I'll be fine. Don't worry." She started to leave.
"Oh no you don't. We're gonna pick up some Chinese, and then you're going to tell me what happened."
Dawn gave a long sigh, realising that she wouldn't win, and nodded.

Connor took the brown paper bag, and the two left the take-out restaurant.
"Oh my god, Dawn. I'm so sorry."
Dawn looked down, "It's fine, I'll find a way. Me and Buffy always do."
Connor needed to get through to her, "Listen, Dawn, if there's anything I can do to help, just say the word. My father has some money-"
"No," Dawn cut him off, "I can't ask your father for money, I'll be fine. I have some connections. Buffy's ex can help me I think."
Buffy's ex?
"Do you really think her ex boyfriend would help her?" Connor asked
"We've been through a lot, Connor. It's complicated."
"Well, there's still the drive home." Connor offered.
"I actually think I've had enough confessions for one day." Dawn sighed.
They got in the car, and sat for a few moments, until Connor turned to face her.
"Listen, Dawn. I just want to tell you this. I don't know where this relationship is going. I love being with you, and I love how you make me feel. If you asked me to jump off a bridge for you, I think I'd do it. I've never felt this way about anyone before."
Dawn's stomach turned, "Connor, don't you think this is going a bit fast. If you're implying that you love me, than I don't think I'm ready for that yet."
Connor turned back to the front, "No, I don't think this is love. At least, not yet, but if it turned into love...look, all I'm saying is. Give me a chance."
Dawn smiled, "Of course I will. You give me butterflies in my stomach when you're near, I want to spend every minute with you. I think I can definitely give you a try."
Both of the brunettes' faces lit up when their eyes met, soon following their lips.
