A/N: Yeah, this was really called Resolve is all I need, but I felt that there needed to be some changes to it and I didn't really like Sam. There would be changes that made me have to re-do it (somewhat). There wont be many changes but A new character or two have been added to make it beter and to make things way better (for me really) there is NO SAM IN IT! YES! lol, srry Sam fans, I just don't like her. Anyway, I guess I will tell you about this story like I did in the beinning for people who are just now looking on this.
It's based on a true story about some one that I heard about and I decided to write it in my own way. I have heard about what happened to this boy once and now I'm writing a story based on it that I promised someone I'd write. Readers that do know who I am writing about don't say or type his real name in a review. Or any of the people the characters are playing. The people will remain anonymous, so will whom I'm basing the CL characters and my ACC's on. The CL characters might be a little out of character and sorry for that but it's the only way I can get this story to work out right. I'm still writing my other stories and Agent Titanium is getting most of my attention at the time so Agent Titanium fans don't worry. Lol Sorry had to put that. There is also a co-writer helping me but he will remain anonymous. Anyway, on with the story!
Disclaimer: I don't own CL or any of the characters but I do own all my ACC's and the poems and songs through out the story. I REALLY OWN COLE, KOLTEN, BRANDON, AND AARON! THEIR MINE!
Resolve is all I need
Based on a true story…and pretty much a true story.
Chap. 1
Cole
A young boy sat on his bed, holding a novel and reading it with a smile on his face. He ran his finger across the page at one point feeling the softness of the page. He looked up as he heard a soft knock at his door and smiled as he saw his mother standing there with a small smile on her face.
"You have visitors," she said. He smiled and put the book down. Right when he stood up four teenagers came running in his room. One grabbed his head and rubbed it gently.
"Hey there buddy! What up?" said a brown haired boy rubbing the other boys head.
"Nothing. Can you let me go Ulrich?" said the boy. Ulrich let him go and laughed at his hair.
"Nice," he laughed. The boy fixed his hair and smiled at the three girls standing in front of him laughing.
"Hey Odd," a brown haired girl laughed with a gentle smile.
"Hey Cole," he said. "Hey girls," he said looking at the other two.
"Hey Odd," Yumi, and Aileta said at the same time.
"What are you guys doing here anyway?" Odd asked them.
"Wanted to know if you wanted to play some soccer with us, Brandon, and Aaron. Jeremy's going to come and watch." Ulrich asked.
"Oh yeah! I'd love too! Just let me put up my book." Odd said.
"Since when do you read?" Yumi asked.
"Well, it's my moms' book of poems so…yeah." Odd reasoned.
"Oh," Yumi laughed. Odd stuck his book up in the shelves carefully and then grabbed his soccer ball.
"Let's go!" Odd said with one of his many famous grins. They ran out of his room but before Odd made it out the door his mom grabbed his shirt collar and pulled him to a stop.
"Odd, you need to be back before seven. Your father's coming home around then. And Cole!" His mom called out to Cole. She spun around with a grin.
"Yes Mrs. Della-Robbia?" she said back.
"You're father wants you home around seven. I don't know why but he does." Odds mom said to her. Cole frowned and sighed.
"Okay," she looked a little nervous. "Come on Odd! Let's play some soccer!" she smiled and waved him over. He smiled back. He looked at his mom and she nodded.
"You make sure she goes home this time!" his mom called out to him.
"Kay mom! Bye!" he waved to her a chased after his friends.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Ah come on! Quiet teasing me!" Ulrich wined trying to get the ball away from Cole. She dribbled it on her knee then she made it go to her head.
"Come on Ulrich! You can get it! Remember, you're the best male soccer player in Kadic. And as far as I hear, males are better at it then girls!" Cole giggled moving farther away from him. He grinded his teeth together and ran at her. She let the ball drop to the ground and moved to the side. He slid past her and turned to face her. She smiled evil at him.
"Go on Co-Co! Go shoot! Score a goal!" Brandon yelled to Cole. He waved his arms in the air and beckoned her to the goal.
"Okay! Just let me get past this monkey!" she said with a grin. Ulrich smiled and rolled his eyes. Cole ran forward with the ball. Ulrich tried to get it but Cole tricked him by using the scissor move. (A/N: Soccer players, like me, might know that move. It's kind of cool even though there are cooler and better ones.) She went the opposite direction of where he was going and hit the ball with the outside of her foot. She gained control of it fast and kicked the ball as hard and in control as she could with her strong runners legs towards the goal, having a clear shot. Odd quickly got in front of it and used his chest to block it.
"Err! Odd!" Cole yelled out to him. He smiled.
"Nice try Co!" Odd yelled to her. Some one bumped into Odd making him stubble.
"You need to pay more attention!" Brandon said to him as he stole the ball away.
"Hey now!" Odd said turning in the direction Brandon was going. Suddenly Cole was right beside Odd with a smile on her face.
"Hey Odd," she said with a grin. They both raced to the goal with Ulrich hardly a foot behind them. Brandon almost scored when some how Ulrich got up there fast and stole it from him. Ulrich turned the ball around and headed for Cole and Brandon's goal. Cole pushed her shoulder into his hard making him go off course a little bit and she snagged the ball away. She ran to the goal to make a goal. Right when she tried to get it to Brandon Odd stole it away by doing just what she did to Ulrich. But Cole was just too good of a runner and slid in front of him. He ran right into her, his chest hitting hers.
"Surprise," she said. She pulled the ball back and turned around. She ran at the goal fast taking control of the ball. She went for the goal and Brandon got in Ulrich's way making him hit Brandon in the back and almost fall backwards. Odd slid trying to hit the ball with his foot from under Cole's feet. She popped the ball over his leg and jumped over his leg as well. Then she used her strong athletic legs to kick the ball straight into the goal.
"GOAL!" Yumi and Aileta yelled from the sidelines.
"You go girl!" Aileta yelled to Cole giving her a thumps up. Cole returned the favor by doing the same back to her. Cole jumped in the air with her arms up; it looked like she was trying to reach the sky.
"We win!" Cole yelled at Ulrich.
"Yeah!" Brandon yelled jumping in the air. He wrapped an arm around Odds shoulders. "Maybe next time buddy," he laughed. Odd rolled his eyes and tried to hit him in the head; he missed.
"We'll get you two next time. You watch," Ulrich said pointing at Cole.
"I'd love to see you try honey," Cole said in a serious, sweet like voice, but yet with spunk and some attitude. Every one smiled and Yumi laughed. Odd walked over to Aileta and stretched.
"Ah, it nice out." Odd sighed smiling down at her. She looked up at him and smiled.
"Yeah, real nice." she sighed as well. "You did well. Although, you could have challenged her more." Aileta said talking about Cole.
"I know. I let her off easy." Odd said with one of his famous smiles. Aileta smiled back.
"OH, YEAH RIGHT!" Odd turned at the sound of Ulrich yelling at someone.
"Well, it's true." Cole laughed.
"I'm going to get you for the Cole!" Ulrich said as Cole stuck her tongue out at him and ran off. He chased after her.
"What was that about?" Jeremie asked Yumi.
"They were arguing. Again about soccer." Yumi sighed.
"Cole said something to him he didn't like. Or something about him." Aaron said standing up relutantly. He was playing soccer with them earilyer but got bored and decited to stop playing, but he was also tired and too lazy.
"Ah. Yet again," Odd sighed. They heard giggling a followed the sound. They came to an opening in the woods and saw Ulrich with one hand on his head and flat on his butt on the ground. Cole was standing a few feet away from him holding her stomach laughing.
"Well, you're hyper Cole." Yumi said to her. Cole looked up and grinned like Odd does.
"I know. It's the weekend! Besides, playing soccer fires me up!" Cole said happily.
"Yeah, you get way to fire up," Ulrich muttered. Cole giggled then stretched her arms out. She let herself fall backwards on the ground. She sighed once she was on the ground.
"Didn't that hurt?" Jeremy asked her.
"Nope!" she responded. Odd did the same thing she did between her and Ulrich and Aileta lay down next to him. Soon everyone was lying on the ground staring up at the clouds.
"Look! A bunny!" Cole laughed pointing at a cloud.
"Look! A moron!" Brandon said pointing at Cole. She sarcastically grinned and grabbed a rock and through it at him.
"Ow!" Brandon yelled. He was getting ready to throw a rock back at her but Yumi looked at him sternly. He dropped the rock and smiled innocently.
They laid there for a while just talking and enjoying the weather. Finally, Odd decided to check his watch. He gasped at the time.
"Cole! We got to go! It's 7:10!" Odd said sitting up fast.
"Aww, I don't wanna go!" Cole wined.
"Cole we got to go or you and I will be in trouble." Odd said. Cole sighed and sat up. Odd stood up and stretched. "Sorry guys." He said.
"It's okay," Yumi said with a smile. Odd walked over to Cole and pulled her up. She dusted herself off and sighed.
"I still don't wanna." She said.
"Me neither but we have too Co-co." Odd sighed.
"Fine. Bye guys!" Cole said turning to the others a waving.
"See you two later!" Ulrich said to them. Odd grabbed Coles arm and pulled her away from the others.
"Bye!" he yelled to them.
"Bye Odd. See you tomorrow." Aileta said winking at him with a warm smile. He smiled and winked back.
Odd pulled Cole down the street to her house.
"You know, you don't have to pull me all the way there." Cole said with hardly any emotion in her voice. Odd let her go and smiled at her.
"I just didn't wanna have to wait for you to finish goofing off and making us really late. Besides, I didn't need you running off." Odd said his grin widening.
"Ha-Ha. Funny." Cole said sarcastically. She walked next to him stuffing her hands in the pockets of her jeans.
Cole stopped walking when she saw her house. She stared at it then she looked at Odd.
"What's the time?" she asked. He looked at his watch.
"It's 7:22." Odd reasoned.
"Great." Cole groaned.
"You want me to walk you up there to say it's my fault you're late?" Odd asked.
"No. I'll be fine. See you tomorrow Odd!" Cole said as she ran to her house.
"Bye." Odd said waving. He watched her run up the stairs of her house. She knocked on the door loudly. He saw the door swing open and a big man appear. He looked a little mad. He said something to Cole and her tan face went from happy to nervous in a blink of an eye. The man moved and she walked in. Before she was all the way in she turned a little and waved to Odd. Then she disappeared in the house.
Odd stuffed his fist in his pockets and sighed. He felt nervous and a little worried for some reason. He stared at her house for a minute then turned around and left.
"I'm home!" Odd yelled happily as he entered the house. He bounced to the living room to find his dad all ready home.
"Hey pops!" Odd said bouncing over to the chair his dad was sitting on.
"Hey Odd. Why are you late?" he asked. Odd walked around the chair to go to the couch.
"I was day-dreaming heavily and didn't check my watch till 7:10. Then I had to make sure Cole got home okay." Odd said.
"Ah. Had to make sure Cole got home." His dad muttered. He put a disgusted look on his face.
Odds dad doesn't like Cole at all. He never has. Cole is a good girl. She's not bad or anything, he just doesn't like her because he thinks she can have a loud mouth sometimes. But the kind Cole can have is a good thing. She opens her big mouth at the right time most the time. He also thinks she's too happy acting and to curious for her own good.
Odd hated it when his dad put on the face when he talked about her or even said Coles name. Cole was like a sister to him. He had known her since they were five years old. He didn't have a crush on her or anything. He just cared for her like she was his sister.
"Odd honey, I wanted you to be home before you're father got home." His mom said from the door way of the living room.
"Sorry mom." Odd said with a weak smile.
"It's okay." She said with a smile. His smile went from weak to full in a second. His mom could just do that to him. His mom disappeared into the kitchen.
"Hey spike boy!" came a voice from behind Odd. He turned to see his older brother run into the room and rub his head.
"Hey! Watch the hair man!" Odd said fixing his hair. His brother smiled and sat down on the couch.
"Brick, who have you been son?" Mr. Della-Robbia asked Odds big brother.
"Fine!" Brick said with a grin.
"How long till the wedding?" his dad asked.
"Uh, about 3 months from now." Brick said.
"Three months? A wedding? Who's wedding?" Odd asked. Brick looked over at Odd with a strange glare.
"Bricks getting married to Katie remember Odd?" came a little voice from his right. He turned to see his little sister Jule standing there with a smile on her little face.
"No. Sorry Jule. I don't. Know one ever told me." Odd said looking back at Brick. Brick rolled his eyes. "Wait, isn't that Katie girl the one you were dating when you wreaked that car?" Odd asked.
"Yes," Brick said hiding his face form view of anybody. "You're kidding? That's Cole's cousin!" Odd said in surprise.
"No duh." Brick said.
"You know what that's going to make you two?" Odds mom asked.
"What?" Odd asked.
"Cousins," Brick said blankly.
"Okay, that's strange. I've been friends with her since I was five now she's going to be related to me?" Odd sighed.
"Why are you making such a big deal about it?" Brick asked.
"Well, it ain't everyday one of your best friends becomes your cousin." Odd said to him folding his arms.
"Whatever spike boy." Brick said.
"Great, we'll get to see more of Cole." Odd heard his dad moan in a low whisper. Odds surprised, happy face turned mad and annoyed in seconds.
"What's wrong with that?" Odd asked his dad anger appearing just a little in his voice. It wasn't enough for his dad to notice though.
"Well. Nothing," his dad said a surprised look on his face. Odd began to feel his blood start to heat up. His mom noticed this and called him in the kitchen.
"Odd can you help me with dinner?" she asked him.
"Sure mom." He said getting up and walking into the kitchen. Odd set the table and got everything his mom needed out.
"Odd, don't start getting angry with your dad so soon now." His mom said.
"Sorry mom but he doesn't need to be that way about Cole. She's one of my best friends. There is nothing wrong with her." Odd said folding his arms.
"I know sweetie but your dad just came back from the business trip. He is stressed. Give him a break. He should be fine soon." His mom said with a warm smile.
"Hope you're right." Odd said turning to get drinks for the family. His mom looked at him with a disproving look of what he said on her face. She was going to say something but decided against it when she saw Odds face as he turned to the right to set down a drink. He didn't look too happy. She sighed and called the rest of her family for dinner.
After dinner Odd helped clean up and he went to his room. He flopped down on his bed and sighed. He was glad his dad was back but at the same time he wasn't that happy. His dad and he didn't really get along to well sometimes. They did fight a lot but nothing to bad come out of it. Just arguing and disliking each other for a little bit.
Odd still hated the fact his dad pretty much hated Cole. His dad hardly liked any of his friends. But Cole was the one he disliked the most. There was nothing wrong with Cole. Cole wasn't a person that was hated much at all. Of course her life was tougher then most peoples but even though it was she didn't act it. Cole was having it tougher then anybody lately because of her father being so mean and not fair lately. She's lucky when he decides to almost be a little fair.
Cole didn't pay much attention to Odds dad. She was always to busy trying to make her dad happy to notice it.
Sometimes Odd thinks his dad wishes for something to happen to Cole that will make her stop being so happy and cheerful all the time. The way he'll look at her when she's around really shows he wouldn't give a damn if anything happened to her.
The more Odd thought about it the more worried he suddenly got for no reason. He wondered why he felt worried suddenly. He could tell it was something to do with Cole. Suddenly, without thinking, he pulled out his cell phone and dialed her cell phone number.
"Hello?" Cole's soft, happy voice came from the phone.
"Hey Co-co!" Odd said happily.
"Hey O.D." she said. He could tell she was smiling at the moment by the way her voice sounded.
"Whatcha doing?" he asked her.
"Nothing really, you?"
"Same here." Odd sighed.
"How's yer dad?" she asked him.
"Fine, yours?"
"Okay. He is mad at me for being late coming home though." Cole sighed.
"Ah-!" Odd heard Cole's dad yelled out her name. He heard Cole answer him then she came back.
"I'm sorry Odd but I got to go." Cole said sounding nervous and distressed.
"Okay Co-co." he said to her.
"Talk to you tomorrow." She really didn't sound to good to him.
"You okay Co?" Odd asked.
"I'm fine Odd. Bye." Cole said in a reassuring voice.
"Okay. Bye." Cole hung up right when he finished saying bye. He looked at his cell phone for a minute his mind racing on why Cole had to leave so fast. He grew nervous, hoping nothing bad was happening. He sighed and set his phone down.
"Don't worry about her Odd," he told himself out loud, "She's fine. She was nervous cuz her dad ain't to happy with her. That's all." Odd reassured himself.
