Reaching Imogens front door , she let go of Conors hand open the door, stepping in side she let Conor in shutting the door behind him. Imogen put her coat and bag under thein her house, yet Conor we have stairs letting Conor do the same. " Would you like anything to eat or drink " she asked Conor going into the kitchen with him. After she made them dinner , they went into the sitting room got their homework done helping each other before Scout and Phoenix came.
Soon they arrived and the four of them sat down in the sitting room, Conor sitting next to Imogen. Imogen always making sure her hair covered her ears so none of them saw her hearing aid. " Actually we have only none Imogen for a couple of days and we are known you longer and still haven't been to yours " Scout pointed out , Phoenix nodding in agreement " yeh mate, you embarrassed by us " he joked. Imogen could feel Connors boding tensing next to hers as he shook his head " no, mom has been really busy with work when she is home, and I never have a free house " he lied to them. They all decided to watch a movie just as it started Conor's phone began ring he stood up and went out into the hall the answer it, of course it was Ms. Mulgrew. Conor began talking to her, she was ordering him to come home, totally drunk, Conor told her no and hung up on her before she could begin shouting at him. Conor came back into the sitting room looking distressed, Scout and Phoenix paying no attention to him just the movie. Imogen looked up at him as he sat back down beside her. He just shook head looking down at her and she knew what was wrong , she softly reached taking his hand softly holding it on her lap, Conor slipped his fingers through hers. Ms. Mulgrew kept trying to ring Conor, which kept ignoring before receiving a text from her " Conor! I mean it get home now or there will be hell to pay !" She messaged. Conor had read the message where Imogen could see it too. " I better go " he said softly letting her hand go standing up to say goodbye to Phoenix and Scout before leaving the sitting room. Imogen followed him out as he got his coat and bag " Thanks for having me over, I really enjoyed it " he smiled softly before stepping outside " I will see you tomorrow in school " he said as Imogen stepped outside closing the door over behind her she took his phone off him and put her phone number in and saved it for him " ring me if you need anything " she told him . This made Conor smile, finally he found someone who cared about him he stepped towards her wrapping his arms around her waist hugging " thank you Imogen, I really appreciate you being here for me " he whispered burying his face into her apple scented hair as she hugged him back softly. Conor placed a soft kiss on her cheek before heading back home, having enjoyed the peace for a change. Imogen went back inside when he left to watch the movie with the others.
