I know, I know, last chapter was extremely short. But, here's the follow-up. And, be sure to review.
-_-_-_-_-_-
I need to know if you were real
'Cause I've been known to get it wrong
When the memory comes
I'll say I'm always in the dark
You got me now
I want to give you back
Somewhere out of here..
"Give you back" --Vertical Horizon
-_-_-_-_-_-
It was a few days after that "special" night for Carey and Fi. And, Fi couldn't wait for another one like it. But, Carey, to her disappointment, didn't.
And, it really hurt her because she thought that's what he wanted. And, she was tired of just wondering why.
So, on one of her mom's nights that she went out for dinner, Fi and Carey stayed in as usual. And, she was going to ask him. No matter what.
Night time came around, all to quickly for Fiona, but, there was no way to get out of it.
He was sitting on the couch watching a blank screen. He turned off the buses power. There was a storm that was raging outside.
"Carey?" she whispered softly into the air. She walked over to him with a candle.
"...What are you doing sitting in the dark?" she sat down next to him setting the candle on the table next to him.
"Thinking. I suppose." he answered.
"Carey..."
He turned to her and almost recoiled at her stare. She looked so hurt. And, he knew he had made her that way. Carey looked down.
"Carey," she said it a little louder, "Why have you been avoiding me?"
Silence. She got no answer from him. Which agitated her.
"Do you not like me? Did I make you angry some how? Please. Tell me!"
He looked up into her eyes again. She had gotten closer.
"I-- I'm not angry at you. And, of course I like you Fiona."
"Then, what's the problem? Why have you been avoiding me?!"
"We can't do this, Fiona! We just can't!"
"But, why? I want to! Why don't you!?"
"I never said I didn't want to! It's just that--"
She quickly leaned over and kissed him. He was about to pull away but, felt her hands on his face. He melted in her embrace and started to kiss her back.
But, he couldn't give in so easily. No matter how much he wanted. So he pulled back quickly. Making himself stare into a shocked face and sad eyes.
She shook her head slightly, "...why?"
He looked down. "Fiona, it's not that I don't like you. God knows I do! It's just that, I did a lot of thinking. 4 years is a big difference. And, even if that didn't matter, if we ever went farther... farther than just kissing... I could be sent to..." he paused.
Fiona stayed quiet as he finished talking. "And, you have no clue how much I wanted to go farther that night when I kissed you. And, how would our parents react, Fi?! They would kill me."
"We...we could just..." she stopped speaking as he shook his head.
She sighed shakily. And nodded.
She started to get up. But felt a light grip on her arm.
"I-- I'm sorry, Fiona. I am." He leaned up, kissed her on the cheek and she left, off the bus, to take a walk. She knew being on the bus was an extremely bad idea. And, things between her and Carey were never going to be the same. But, as she left, she forgot any kind of jacket or protection. And, there was a thunder storm.
Unfortunatly, Carey didn't notice until half an hour later.
-_-_-_-_-_-
Okay. So how was this one? I hope it was good. I wasn't going to include the part about stagitory (sp?)rape, but it seems that no one covers that in their stories. And, it's a big deal.
Okay, so are you liking Carey or hating him? He was being responsible. But, sadly, Fiona doesn't appreciate it. heh. Okay.
R&R and I'll give you a cookie!
