OK, I know, I know, I'm juggling around so many shows in my fanfictions. In my defense, I thought of this story while re-watching Life Unexpected. If you follow me and haven't seen the show, you won't really understand this. If you haven't seen it, I HIGHLY recommend it! I think both seasons are instant on Netflix. Well, fans of LUX, happy reading!
A BIT ABOUT THE STORY:
Summary: When Trey is out on bail, Cate wants to know where Lux is every second. Lux realizes with much horror that her mother is right.
Warning: Story may be a tiny bit triggering, as it deals with Lux/Trey issues
NOT A DEATH FIC
This probably will not be an extremely long story, but it will have a few chapters to it, it's won't be a five minute read.
Cate/Lux bonding story
Ok, I pretty much jump right into the action, so get ready!
"ok, so Lux, after school today I want you to go over to Baze's office and you can hang out there and do your homework until he's done with work and then he will bring you back here." Cate rants as she places a plate of toast in front of me. I take a bite and am surprised to find that it actually tastes like toast.
"I don't need a babysitter." I say, slightly insulted, as I take another bite of my surprisingly edible toast. Cate is becoming more overprotective by the second. I find it ironic that someone who gave up their child could have such a strong maternal personality. I instantly regret thinking it. I take it back. Cate thought it was better for me when she gave me up. She didn't know I had a hole in my heart and that I was going to bounce around foster homes, getting abused mentally, physically, and sexually.
"Lux. Trey is out on bail." She informs me. I freeze for only a moment before brushing it off. He can't get me. I'm perfectly safe. He wouldn't do anything when he is already being tried in court for my abuse.
"So" I say blankly, picking at my toast.
"So, we pressed charges against him. He is roaming free until the trial; I don't want him coming after you." I roll my eyes, even though the possibility has crossed my mind before.
I'm finally going to have a date with Eric. Well, what we call a date. Hanging out at Tasha's without telling my parents. I feel kind of bad that I lied to them both when they're so worried about me. I told Baze that I am staying at Cate's and told Cate that I'm staying at Baze's. I light the last candle in the room and adjust my flowery dress so that it fits perfectly. When the doorbell rings, my heart flutters. Eric is going to spend the night, but not spend the night spend the night. In more of a hanging out kind of way. I quickly walk over and open the door. It is not who I am expecting to see, and my heart sinks to my stomach. It's not Eric, who I was so looking forward to seeing. I even wish it was Cate here to get me in trouble.
"Hey, bitch." The voice says. The voice that has haunted my dreams since junior high. Trey. I try to slam the door, but his fingers close around the edge and he throws it back open, hitting me in the face with it. I stumble backwards and trip because of the black heels I am wearing. Why did I have to wear heals? I pull myself up with a hand on the corner of the couch, but Trey pushes me back to the floor by my shoulders.
"Remember our deal? The one where you weren't going to say anything?" He says with disgust. I lie frozen on the floor, staring into the face of my worst nightmare. It's at that moment that I wish I had listened to Cate.
"I.. I… You…" is all I can stutter before he punches me in the jaw. My head snaps to the side, and I cry out for help. I am expecting company, someone will find us and stop him.
"I don't want to go to jail." He spits. "The only way to not is for you to never say anything against me during the trial. You on the witness stand is the only evidence" He growls, his face inches from mine. I can smell the alcohol in his breath.
"I'm not going to say anything!" I scream, the words coming out so fast I can hardly understand them myself.
"That's just the thing. I don't believe you." He tells me, a sneer on his face. My entire body is shaking with fear. He grabs a fistful of my hair like he did the night of the homecoming dance. I scream as he drags me up to my feet and slams me into a wall. I scream as loud as I can for as long as I can, but it is soon muffled by something against my mouth. It isn't a gag. I throw a punch and it knocks his face away from mine only long enough for me to duck underneath him. My knuckles throb and I'm almost positive that my nose is bleeding from the door slamming in my face. I almost make it to the door, but he grabs onto one of my wrists and slams the door shut.
"Leave me alone!" I shout at him. "Let me go!" He drags me across the room and I'm not sure what's happening until I feel the fresh air against my face. He opened the window, and my head is sticking out of it. He's going to throw me out a window.
(I don't know what story Tasha's apartment is really on, but for the sake of my fanfiction, it's the 3rd)
I pull backwards, but I'm only throwing myself back into his arms. He launches me at the window, and my torso is hanging over the edge, my legs the only thing still inside the building. I make a useless attempt at trying to pull myself inside, but his hand is pressing against my back, keeping my body hanging out. I feel his arm around my legs as my anchor to the building is removed and he throws the rest of me out the window like a disposable napkin with evidence on it. I plummet to the ground, knowing I will land on the concrete sidewalk and hoping that the end won't be painful. But then I see Cate and Baze. My parents, their faces are twisted in such horror, and Cate screams. The last thing I see is her face before I slam into the concrete below, instantly going numb.
NOT A DEATH FIC. DO NOT WORRY. I know it's short, but I always post a short chapter to see if I have any interest before continuing with a story. So if you want it continued, follow, review, PM, let me know!
