Romantic Note: The pairings for this story are…

(unnecessarily long drum roll)

…

NoahxCourtney and TrentxLindsay! These pairings are meant to appease two particular authors: screwtherulesihavmoney and Kelsica2 respectively. This chapter is for them.

Rating Note: This chapter's rated T because Lindsay's story centers largely around sexual abuse. I apologize to those offended by this chapter.

Chapter 4 - Pain Conveyed Through Beauty

Trent POV

The morning sky was as gray as ash as I stepped into the school. Memories of my dream slowly vanished from my head, but I still hung on to the pain that I went through because of it. I had to use the arm that I carried my books in to open the door because my other arm was in a sling from the beating I recieved from my parents yesterday.

"WOAH!" A high pitched cry of shock interrupted my chain of thought. Lindsay, the blonde chick of the school, slipped on the newly polished floors. I managed to catch her before she hit the ground, but our books rained down on us afterwards.

"Thanks mister!" she chirped as I helped her gather her things, "It would've hurt if I fell."

"No problem." I responded as I gathered my things with my free hand, Lindsay noticing my broken arm.

"Oh you poor thing!" she cried as she massaged my sling, "What happened to you?

"My dad got mad at me for playing my guitar." I admitted, "It got out of hand."

"Hey Lindsay!" Tyler yelled, approaching us, "Get your blonde butt over here!"

"I have to go!" Lindsay said as she ran away, "Bye!"

I watched her as Tyler seized her by the arm and dragged her away, the sadness in her eyes etched into my memory.

Lindsay POV

Lindsay Beduevere, Age 15, and this is my life. My mommy and daddy are the nicest two people I know! Sadly, my dad died in a car accident and my mom married my stepdad. He's alright, except he always liked to rip my clothes off for some reason. Whenever I tried to resist, he always hit me. It hurt a lot so I just did as he said rather than put up a fight.

I arrived at home to find mom serving me one of her delicious cookies.

"How was school dear?" she asked me as she kissed me on the forehead.

"It went great!" I chirped, "I made a new friend!"

"What's his name?" my mom asked me.

"I don't know." I admitted as I rubbed the back of my head, "I didn't talk to him very long."

"I have to go to a meeting sweetie." she told me as she grabbed her purse.

"Bye mommy!" I waved as she left.

After finishing my cookie, I prepared to step out the door to find that it wouldn't open.

"Daddy!" I cried as I struggled to turn the doorknob, "The door won't work!"

He came up behind me and placed his hands tightly on my shoulders, his warm breath sending chills down my spine.

"I locked it since I figured that would be the first place you would try to escape..." my stepdad whispered as he directed me into the living room.

"Now take off your clothes." he commanded me.

"I don't think I want too..." I whimpered as I fidgeted with my shirt and tapped my lips.

"So you want to do this the hard way, huh?" he shrugged, "Jeeves, grab her!" His mean bodyguard snatched me from behind as he started to unbutton my jeans. After unzipping my zipper and pulling them down, the bodyguard held me by the legs as my stepdad took off my shirt.

"Please stop daddy!" I wailed as I tried to break free of the bodyguard, "I don't like doing this!"

After the bodyguard released me, my stepdad dragged me to the nearest window by my hair and opened the window, all the boys cheering and hooting at sight of me in my underwear.

As I started to cry and cover myself up, my stepdad just gave me a confused look.

"You have such a nice body." he said as he blocked my way out, "Why are you covering it up?"

"I don't want any of those mean boys to see me like this!" I argued back.

My stepdad pulled my hair and dragged me outside, making the boys cheer harder.

"You resemble your mother." he grinned evilly as he got out his paddle, "Because she abstains from sex now, I just can't help myself..." He gave me a wedgie and started spanking me in front of the whole neighborhood, the boys choosing to ignore my sobbing and cries of help.

Noah POV

I slowly walked to the arcade when I heard an acrimonious quarrel.

"Get in the fucking car bitch!" Duncan screamed to his girlfriend.

"Let go of me Duncan!" Courtney cried.

"Crying for help, huh?" Duncan growled with venom, "Shows how much of a weakling you are!" He pushed Courtney onto the ground, making her cry out in pain.

I didn't know what got into me. I just walked up to the delinquent and glared in his eyes.

"Leave her alone..." I warned him menacingly.

"What are you gonna do about it brainiac?" he just scoffed.

I was tired of listening to him, so I tackled him to the ground with all of my might, which was just enough to slow him down.

"GET OFF OF ME YOU PSYCHO!" he shrieked as he tried to thrash me off. After he suceeded, he grabbed by the scruff of my shirt.

"Look here punk," he threatened me, "pull that one again, and you'll get much worse than you'll get now." He punched me in the eye, knocking me out.

Courtney POV

The rain started to fall as Duncan threw Noah on the ground. Noah's eye was black and swollen from the punch and teeth marks were present on his skin. Now gaining courage, I stepped over and prepared to tell of my boyfriend.

"What was that for?" I argued to Duncan as he rolled his eyes.

"He was trying to make a move on you," he explained, "and I can't let that happen."

"Have you ever considered the fact that he might make a better boyfriend than you?" I retaliated.

"So what," he asked defensively, "are you breaking up with me?"

"Yes," I stated with a smirk, "with a vengeance!" I kneed him in the groin, making him collapse in pain. I then went over to check on Noah.

"Are you okay?" I cried, "Speak to me!"

"I'm just fine." he said, "The swelling will go down eventually."

"Oh thank goodness!" I whispered as tears of joy ran down my face, embracing him tenderly. I helped him up and held his hand.

"I'm assuming we're a couple now." he said.

"Yep." I responded happily as we headed home, "This is a new beginning."

Noah opened the gate to my house after we arrived there.

"Thanks again for saving me." I thanked him again, "Don't worry, I don't think Duncan will be a problem anymore." I kissed Noah on the cheek, his blush mixing with the red lipstick I left on him.

Closing

I thought that chapter ended well!

Anyways, now for the reason why Noah and Courtney are the characters for this chapter. One, this chapter does circulate around those two and Trent and Lindsay, but the next chapter will feature the latter two a lot more. Two, I find it necessary to character cheat. It's a term I came up with meaning making the characters of your story two of the most popular ones (For example: Duncan and Courtney) so that more will read my story regardless of if they're in it or not.

Just a warning ahead of time, the next chapter will be the most disturbing and immoral one yet. But still read and review!
