Chapter 2: I HATE YOU!

Cori stood next to Mitchie on the porch of Connect 3's familiar home. Her hand trembled as she reached out and rung the doorbell. "You okay?" Mitchie whispered. Cori just nodded and starred intently at the door. The door swung open, revealing an extremely happy Shane. Mitchie immediately jumped into his arms, Shane laughed and returned the hug.

"I missed you!" Mitchie squealed.

"I missed you too." Shane replied. He pulled away from Mitchie and engulfed Cori in a hug. "Missed you sis!" Shane had been calling her 'sis' for a while, Cori didn't mind one bit.

"Missed you too." They pulled apart and walked into the house. Tara came up behind Shane, her blonde curls bouncing up and down. She charged into Cori's legs causing her to stumble back a little. Cori scooped Tara up in her arms.

"Sissy!" Tara yelled happily, wrapping her small arms around Cori's neck.

"Hey Shorty. I missed you."

"I missed you too!" Jason, Paul, and Denise walked into the room. More hugs and 'I missed you's were exchanged, then everyone went to the living room to catch up. The first thing Cori noticed was, as usual, Nate was nowhere to be seen. She sighed, not paying attention to whatever Mitchie was going on about until she heard her name.

"…right Cori?" Mitchie asked. Cori snapped back to reality to see everyone starring at her expectantly,

"Huh? Oh, yeah. Right." Cori agreed, even though she wasn't sure what she was agreeing to.

Nate banged his head once more against his headboard. Cori had just arrived at their house, but he couldn't bring himself to get out of the room. He really wanted to talk to her, but what was he going to say? 'I'm sorry for totally ignoring you for a year after breaking your heart.'? Yeah right. Nate stood and walked to the door, but quickly turned back to his bed, then back to the door, and finally back to his bed. The internal battle he was fighting was giving him a headache, or maybe that was from banging his head against his headboard thirty-seven times. Yeah, he counted.

Why is this so hard? Nate asked himself, smothering his face into his pillow.

Cori stood outside the door that seemed to loom over her, taunting her every move, Nate's door. She had made an excuse to leave the living room, getting a glass of water or something lame like that, she wasn't really sure. All that was going through her mind was how she was going to tell someone who hates her that she loves him. Cori reached for the doorknob, but then pulled her hand back. What are you chicken!? Open the door! She yelled at herself in her mind (don't act like you don't yell at yourself sometimes). Cori reached for the doorknob one last time, when she heard muffled yelling inside the room.

"STUPID! UGH! WHY AM I SO STUPID?!" Nate was yelling into his pillow. Cori couldn't help but laugh, considering she was thinking the same thing about herself. Cori covered her mouth, realizing he probably heard her. She heard footsteps from inside the room, so she ran across the hall into the guest room she was staying in. She cracked the door just enough to peek through and see Nate open his door and look out. He sighed and closed the door once again.

"Why the hell did you run again?!" She yelled at herself, this time out loud. Cori leaned against the wall and closed her eyes as she hit her head repeatedly with her hand. "Stupid. Stupid. Stupid."

"So why are you hitting your head and calling yourself stupid?" Shane was standing in the doorway smiling at her amusedly (is amusedly a word? If not I'm making it one. lol).

"Nothing."

"Oh yeah, cause we all hit ourselves for the fun of it." Shane said sarcastically as he took a seat on the bed.

"No, seriously, it's nothing."

"Since when is Nate considered 'nothing'?" Shane smirked all-knowingly.

"You know, I really hate it when you read my mind." Shane smiled and Cori sat down on the bed as well.

"So this is about Nate, very interesting." Shane sounded out every syllable and tapped his chin as if he was thinking.

"Don't think to hard Shane, you might injure yourself." Cori teased. Shane stuck his tongue out at Cori.

"Alright, Ms. Change-the-subject-pants(haha. Kindergarten insults, gotta love 'em), why are you thinking about Nate?"

"I never really stopped thinking about him. Actually, I never really stopped loving him. It just hurts and with the way I left and it's been a year since we talked… I don't know. I hate it. Seeing you and Jason, but never Nate. He hates me."

"He doesn't hate you." Cori continued looking down, ignoring the tear that made a spot on her jeans.

"Whatever. Can you leave?" Shane hugged her shoulders and stood up, leaving the room.

Nate heard a girlish laugh come from outside his door. He stood up and opened it only to reveal an empty hallway. He sighed as he closed his door and sat back down on his bed. Nate pulled the note from his pocket, scanning over it carefully. He had kept the note since the day she left, wasn't sure why but he did. Nate grabbed the notepad off his end table and started to write:

Lookin' at the letter that you left
Wondering if I'll ever get you back
Dreaming about when I'll see you next

Nate paused for a moment, thinking about what to write next, then he remembered her song 'Don't Forget'.

Knowing that I never will forget

As soon as he had finished writing that line, Shane came barging into his room. "Knock much?" Nate asked, annoyed at the interruption, as he hid the notebook under his pillow.

"I hope your happy jack ass." Nate looked at his brother slightly shocked. Jason, Shane, and Nate had all decided not to use cuss words long ago, their parents had a lot to do with that decision, but still, Shane didn't usually talk like that.

"What?"

"You made Cori cry, yet again. I don't know why you hate her so much, I mean you're the one who cheated on her."

"Hate her? I think you got your facts mixed up, she's the one that hates me."

"You know, I wouldn't blame her if she did, it's too bad she still loves you."

"W…what?" Nate was totally cut off guard.

"Yeah, she loves you. After all you put her through, she still loves you."

"After what I put her through? She's the one who left without saying anything, or letting me say anything for that matter."

"Dude! You cheated on her!" Nate stood, completely infuriated by then and jerked open his end table's drawer. "What are you doing?" Nate pulled out a piece of paper. It was the note he had written before he knew Cori had left, no one had ever seen it before. He shoved it into Shane's chest.

"You wanna know what really happened? Read that!" Nate said then walked towards Cori's room. He was about to walk in, when he heard soft singing.

I looked away
then I look back at you,
You try to say
the things that you can't undo,
If I had my way
I'd never get over you,
Today's the day
I pray that we make it through.

Make it through the fall,
Make it through it all.

And I don't wanna fall to pieces
I just wanna sit and stare at you.
I don't wanna talk about it
And I don't want a conversation
I just wanna cry in front of you.
I don't wanna talk about it
'Cause I'm in love with you.

You're the only one
I'd be with till the end.
When I come undone
you bring me back again.
Back under the stars,
Back into your arms.

Wanna know who you are,
Wanna know where to start,
I wanna know what this means.

Wanna know how you feel,
Wanna know what is real.
I wanna know everything

Everything!

I don't wanna fall to pieces
I just wanna sit and stare at you.
I don't wanna talk about it
And I don't want a conversation
I just wanna cry in front of you.
I don't wanna talk about it.

And I don't wanna fall to pieces
I just wanna sit and stare at you.
I don't wanna talk about it
And I don't want a conversation
I just wanna cry in front of you.
and I don't wanna talk about it
'Cause I'm in love with you.
I'm in love with you,
'Cause I'm in love with you.
I'm in love with you,
I'm in love with you

Nate felt the tear slip down his face. To think all he had to do was come out of his stupid room one time while she was here, and maybe things would be different. He walked into the room. Cori was sitting against her headboard with her knees pulled up to her chest and her face in her hands. "Cori…" Nate whispered softly. Cori looked up.

"Nate…" She looked relieved and happy to see him, but then something changed. Her jaw hardened. "Go away." She said through clenched teeth. Nate shook his head.

"No, not this time. It's been a year, when are you gonna talk to me?" Cori stood up, fuming.

"When am I gonna talk to you?! You're the one who's been avoiding me like I'm the Black fucking Plague!" More harsh words were exchanged as they both reiterated all the pain the other put them through in loud voices.

"You left without even talking to me! You don't even know what happened!"

"You kissed another girl, I think that's pretty self-explanatory!"

"Why won't you just listen?!"

"Cause I don't want to hear your bull shit!"

"Why did you leave? Why won't you let me explain?!"

"What was I gonna do?! You betrayed me!"

"No I didn't!"

"I HATE YOU!" Cori screamed then ran out of the room, fighting the tears as she made her way out of the house. Nate fell back on the bed, hitting his head against a headboard for the thirty-eighth time that day. He didn't mean to go off on her, but she yelled and it got out of hand. Her last three words played over and over in his mind. Did she really hate him? It's not like he doesn't deserve it if she does. The next thing Nate knew Shane was pulling him off the bed and he hit the ground with a loud thud.

"Dude, what the heck?" Nate had fallen asleep and that was not the best way to be woken up.

"Get up. I'm sorry I wouldn't listen long enough for you to tell me what really happened, but that doesn't matter right now. After you yelled at Cori, she ran off and no one's seen her since." Nate stood up.

"What? How long has she been gone?"

"Seven hours."

"What?! And no one woke me up." Nate calmed himself down and thought for a moment. He knew where she was. Nate headed downstairs and Shane followed him.

"Where are you going?"

"I know where she is."

"What? Where? How?" Nate ignored every question as he grabbed his coat and a flashlight and headed out into the cold night.

"If I'm not back in two hours call my cell." He called back to Shane as he walked toward the woods at the end of the street.
