The following morning Conor was downstairs eating breakfast when he heard his mom coming stomping down the stairs into him in the kitchen. Conor looked at her as she got a glass of orange before getting a bottle vodka about to pour some in when Conor snatched it from but it fell from his grasp and fell onto the floor smashing. Ms. Mulgrew looked furious and swung at him hitting him across the cheek catching him with her ring. She froze, she had just got caught up in the moment " Conor.." she said her voice soft but at this stage Conor had his bag over his shoulder and left the house before she had a chance to stop him.
Conor walked to school his head bowed low, Imogen walking fast behind him to catch up with after calling his name a couple of hours getting no reply, she jogged up to his side " earth to Conor " she smiled at him. Conor shook his head snapping out of his chain of thoughts " oh hi " he smiled slightly. Imogen noticing his cheek moving to stand in front of him to stop him " Conor what happened ?"she asked him. Conor let out a sigh " i can't do it anymore Imogen, I can't " he whispered. Imogen wrapped her arms around his waist feeling his arms around her shoulders " she hit me and caught me with her key " he whispered nuzzling his face into her hair. " Conor you to get help, you need to tell someone " Imogen whispered stroking his back , hearing her conor pulled back both releasing each other " Imogen please , you can't " Conor spoke with pleading eyes , Imogen nodded reassuring him " I won't promise " she smiled. Connor nodded , his mom gad just pulled into the car park watching the pair Conor slipped his arm around her waist to turn her to face the school " lets go " he smiled walking inside with her, his arm remaining around her waist.
Imogen smiled walking to class with Conor, his arm still around her waist, she felt comfortable being with him like this. Scout and Phoenix caught but with them, " what happen to your cheek?" Scout asked. " I.. umm.. " Conor stuttered trying to make up excuse " we were missing and i caught him with my locker key " Imogen butted in to help him. " Feisty " Scout laughed as Conor tighten his arm around her waist as too say thanks.
