Attention: Look, there will be talk of, if not seen, cases of child abuse from Holtz. This happens because in my time line, Holtz took much of his anger out on Casey, and some out on Connor. But Connor was the favorite child of the two. More about that later. There also may be instance of corporal punishment. I would like to inform people that child abuse and corporal punishment are two different things. Corporal punishment will only happen when there is need for it to happen, and it will always be done in a loving environment.
Author's Note: I am going to try and put my teenage characters though what normal teenagers go through. That may be bad grades, idiot teachers, sexual harassment, drugs, alcohol, and that such. Some may be embellished a little, but guess what? If they are, that's because I have yet to experience them in my high school. Now don't say that I make this some kind of soap opera, because quite frankly, life is one.
Summery: Here's a hook up, there's a hook up.
Chapter Twenty-Five: I'd Do Anything for Love (But Not That)
And I would do anything for love,
I'd run right into hell and back,
I would do anything for love,
I'll never lie to you and that's a fact.
But I'll never forget the way you feel right now
- Oh no - no way - I would do anything for love,
But I won't do that; I won't do that, anything for love,
I would do anything for love; I would do anything for
love,
But I won't do that, I won't do that.
Some days it don't come easy,
Some days it don't come hard
Some days it don't come at all,
And these are the days that never end.
Some nights you breathe fire,
Some nights you're carved in ice,
Some nights you're like nothing I've ever seen before,
or will again.
Casey sighed as the she and seven others sat in the practically empty, save for their little group. Everyone was spread out, some alone, some in pairs like she was. She and Charlie sat together, talking.
He wrapped an arm around her and Casey stiffened slightly. Connor looked her way and they locked eyes. Connor smiled softly and Casey returned the smile, comforted.
Maybe I'm crazy, But it's crazy and it's true,
I know you can save me, No one else can save me now but
you.
As long as the planets are turning,
As long as the stars are burning,
As long as your dreams are coming true - You better believe
it! -
That I would do anything for love,
And I'll be there until the final act -
I would do anything for love!
And I'll take a Vow and Seal a pact -
But I'll never forgive myself if we don't go all the way
- Tonight -
I would do anything for love!
I would do anything for love,
I would do anything for love,
But I won't do that; I won't do that...
"So how long have you known Will?" Casey asked, leaning her head against Charlie's shoulder.
Charlie laughed, "Ever since I was born. My mother was his housekeeper, as I grew up, he became something like a big brother to me."
Casey smiled, "That's really sweet. Now if every guy was jus as sweet as that. Girls would have no problem."
Charlie chuckled and gave her a small hug around the shoulders.
I would do anything for love,
Anything you've been dreaming of,
But I just wont do that...
Some days I pray for Silence,
Some days I pray for Soul,
Some days I just pray to the God of Sex and Drums and
Rock 'N' Roll.
Some nights I lose the feeling,
Some nights I lose control,
Some nights I just lose it all when I watch you dance
and the thunder rolls.
Maybe I'm lonely, and that's all I'm qualified to be,
There's just one and only, The one and only promise I
can keep.
The two sat together, enjoying one another's company. Somehow the conversation lead to childhood's and Casey felt her temperature rise. Once again the two siblings locked eyes and Casey started to chant to herself, "Connor stay out of this, Connor stay out of this," in her head.
As long as the wheels are turning,
As long as the fires are burning,
As long as your prayers are coming true - You better
believe it -!
That I would do anything for love!
And you know it's true and that's a fact,
I would do anything for love!
And there'll never be no turning back -
But I'll never do it better than I do it with you,
So long - So long - I would do anything for love,
I would do anything for love,
I would do anything for love,
I would do anything for love,
But I won't do that, I won't do that!
"What do you mean stay out of this? He's upsetting you!" Casey heard Connor think.
"Get out of my head!" Casey mentally screamed.
"Get out of mine!" Connor challenged.
"Argh! You are so annoying!" Casey mentally screamed.
Connor smirked, "Takes one to know one," he then turned serious. "If he even tries to hurt you, I'll hurt him."
Casey smiled, "That's all very comforting, but get out of my head. You do not need to know all the smutty thoughts I have about Charlie."
Connor rolled his eyes, "You're right, I don't."
I would do anything for love,
Anything you've been dreaming of,
But I just wont do that...
But I'll never stop dreaming of you
Everynight of my life - No Way -
I would do anything for love,
I would do anything for love,
I would do anything for love,
But I won't do that, I won't do that!
Girl : Will you raise me up?
Will you help me down?
Will you help get me right out of this Godforsaken town?
Will you make it a little less cold?
Charlie touched Casey's shoulder, "If you don't want to talk about it, it's okay."
Casey smiled, "It's not that I don't trust you, I do. You did save my life that one time. It's just that, I didn't have a very happy childhood. No one should know that pain. And I don't want you to know the pain, even if it was just from me telling you.
Charlie gave her a squeeze on her shoulder, "It's okay, I understand."
Boy : I can do that!
I can do that!
Girl : Will you hold me sacred?
will you hold me tight?
Can you colorize my life I'm so sick of black and white?
Can you make it a little less old?
Boy : I can do that!
I can do that!
Girl : Will you make me some magic, with your own two
hands?
Can you build an Emerald city with these grains of sand?
Can you give me something that I can take home?
"I really like you," Casey stated bluntly.
Charlie smiled, "I really like you.
Casey looked at him, "Well since that is settled, why don't you ask me out on a date?"
"Don't you think this is already one?" Charlie asked coyly.
"Maybe, but you haven't kissed me yet. So it isn't an official date yet," Casey batted her eyelashes.
Boy : I can do that!
I can do that!
Girl : Will you cater to every fantasy that I've got?
Will ya hose me down with holy water - if I get too hot
- ?
Will you take me to places that I've never known?
Boy : I can do that!
I can do that!
Girl : After a while you'll forget everything,
It was a brief interlude, And a midsummer night's fling,
And you'll see that it's time to move on.
Charlie leaned down and gave Casey a peck on the cheek. Casey pouted, "Cold." Charlie kissed her again, this time on her lips, but it was still just a peck. "Warm," Casey gave him a not so shy smile. Charlie gave a chuckle and this time really went for her lips. "Hot!" Casey said as they came up.
"And that's exactly how I feel about you," Charlie said as he went back down for another kiss.
Boy : I won't do that!
I won't do that!
Girl : I know the territory - I've been around,
It'll all turn to dust and we'll all fall down,
And sooner or later you'll be screwing around.
Boy : I won't do that!
I won't do that!
Anything for love, I would do anything for love,
I would do anything for love,
But I won't do that, I won't do that.
Connor looked on, with a mixture of pride and disgust. "That, right there, is something I never want to witness again," he told Claire.
She just laughed, "You're just jealous because you can't get none. Besides it's sweet really. They've had some serious sexual tension. They've finally gone for some sexual healing."
Connor looked at her, "I'm not jealous!" he said indignantly.
Clare rolled her eyes. "Yes you are, but it's my job to make you a little
less jealous." Leaning over, she kissed him.
Author's Note 2: Is this enough sap for y'all? I don't own the song, if anyone's interested, the song is I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't do That) by Meat Loaf. Reviews are appreciated very much! Now please review, pretty please?
