Chapter Forty Two: Can't Break Me Down


Fluttering her eyes open in the dark music room, under the piano, cuddling up with her freckled face boyfriend, she decided to wake up. It was time to get up and head to their last period.

She sat up a bit, leaning over Louis's side. He was knocked out peacefully. She really didn't want to shake him awake and ruin whatever he's dreaming about.

His dread locks scattered on the floor as well on his forehead and cheek like wiggly vines. Lashes relaxed over his freckled cheek bones. No way anyone can count his freckles. So many that when you get to five, anyone can lose count. A small gap between his lips made his lips seem more kissable.

He's very handsome when he's asleep.

Disturbing his nap is like waking up a puppy. Who would wake up a puppy?

She laid her head on his chest, staring hard at his lips. Craving for them.

Her urges went loose. His lips are very tempting. The girl shifted her hat backwards and smothered the boy under her with kisses.

Louis felt something warm and soft on his cheek. It traveled to random places on his face that he flinched his nose and cheek. He squinted to see golden eyes stared down at him with a sly smile.

If this a wakeup call, he doesn't mind it at all. Discovering that he has a thing for his girlfriend's surprise kisses. Very adorable and sweet. Louis finally got up, pushed her down to hover her. While responding back by kissing her lips repeatedly, her arms circled around his neck.

She smiled in each direct quick kiss. Wanting more and more. Leaving her chest blossoming with feelings she can't admit to him verbal.

Giggles caused the two to stop kissing mid-way.

"What are you guys doing?"

Clem's face dropped.

Louis's body jerked up that he bumped his head against the hard wood. He hissed as Clem worried about Louis and embarrassed to find her nosy cousin witnessing them doing silly couple stuff. She rubbed behind Louis's head, trying to ease the pain.

Louis glared at AJ while he wore an amused smile in a squatting position. Clementine's face glowed red, trying to avoid any eye contact with AJ.

"Look somewhere else." She muttered at her cousin. The boy with the afro chuckled.

"Can you guys make out somewhere else where people...I don't know... aren't around?" He smirked as he stood up and grabbed his piano book off the teacher's desk.

The couple crawled out the piano and stretched. Feeling much better-emotionally and physically.

"Can't help it. Clem addicted to my luscious li-" Clem cut Louis off by nudging him to the side. He chuckled when he saw how red she gotten.

"Shut up! Don't talk to him like that!" She scolded with her arms cross. AJ arched his brow, backing away towards the door. Before he left, he needed to ask.

"Are you guys... dating?"

Louis froze as he tried grabbing their bags on the floor. Clem clumsily dropped her books on the floor.

Why can't it be someone else?! She screamed.

Louis eyed Clem, not knowing what to say. Clem furrowed her brows. Both wanted to keep it a secret so they can keep their privacy but that won't last long as it seemed.

She quickly squatted, grabbing her books. She stood up and marched up to AJ. Louis followed behind her. They were running out of time to make it to class anyway.

"Don't tell anyone. If you tell Ava, Duck, or the Garcias. I can't have them involve with my life...Not yet at least..." She spoke. AJ nodded with a straight face.

"Fine. Fine. But you owe me." He smirked as he shot a glance at Louis. The freckled teen groaned. Clem shrugged her shoulders, not her problem.

"You too, Clem! But we'll talk later!" He ran off to class. Both sighed. Hoping whatever he asks them to be something easy.

Alone again, Louis cupped her face. Tilting it up to kiss her lips once again. He pulled away a bit. Brushing his lips over hers as he spoke.

"After work, wanna hangout?" He winked. She sheepishly nodded. Taking every chance to be with him is personally what she wished for when dating someone. And the fact her boyfriend asking her permission made bees buzz in her stomach and butterflies flutter in her chest.

Before he got his answer, Clem tugged on his jacket collar to pull him down for another kiss.

She inhaled and exhaled dreamily. Kissing this boy sparks so many happy emotions in her. She loves it when he dominated her lips or even nibble on her pouty bottom lip.

Clementine hate to admit but she believed she is addicted to Louis's lips. He pulled back a bit, gazing in her eyes. Smiling cocky at her with heavy eye lids. She bit her lip all cutesy.

Can they skip sixth period?

The bell rung.

Nope!

"Before you go, keep these." He handed her piano lesson books. She eyed the old beat up books. The edges were tears and the pages looked dingy. Her eyes set back on him.

"For me?" She assumed with a small smile.

"Yeah. Old books I found upstairs in my attic. I wanted to give you them so that..We could...You know..." He rubbed the back of his head, averted his gaze to the floor. Clem stepped closer to him, pressed her face on his chest.

"Definitely. Let's make music together." Hearing her say that, the boy felt delighted. Overjoyed that his heart rumbled in his chest.

"Yeah. Together." He kissed her temple with content.

"See ya around eight, Clemster." He whispered in her burning ear. She nodded as she tucked in her bottom lip. Feeling very giddy to see him later.

They left the music room to go to their final class.

.

After school, Clem made it home. She saw no one's car in the drive way so she took the opportunity to take her parent's spot. Closer to the door, no worries.

As she came around to the porch she saw a blonde girl that is not old enough to be younger than her but a bit older. She slid an envelope in the mail box.

She turned on her heels to see a surprise Clem. The brunette looked her up and down suspiciously.

"Excuse me? What are you doing?" Clem asked the sneaky blonde. The blonde narrowed her brown eyes at her. Realizing how familiar she looks.

A gasped coming from her, she stumbled back. She walked up to Clem.

"Are you Mr. Everett's daughter?!"

"Uhh... yes. Who are you?"

"I'm his best student. I'm here to send him my work because winter break is coming up and I won't attend to the school next week. Is that okay?" She smiled. Clem slowly nodded her head while jamming her key to open the door.

"Yeah. Sure..."

When the blonde girl left out of sight, Clem immediately grabbed the envelope and slammed the door shut. In front of the thick envelope, doodles of hearts scattered all over the pink paper.

Yeah right its 'work' from that blonde. Clem went to the kitchen and teared the envelope open. The first thing was a sheet of paper with fancy hand writing.

Dear Professor E,

Sadly, I won't be attending school next semester because I'm graduating. Yay me! Don't miss me too much. I really learned a lot about history. And you.

Clem shook her head and reread the last part. Her eyes bugged out as she kept reading.

We should have dinner to celebrate my graduation. Just us two. And go out some place nice for a couple of days.

Oh yeah! Sorry about leaving my underwear in your office. Hope that satisfied your fantasies with me. ;) ;)

Xoxo Molly

She slammed the paper on the kitchen table. Her chest heaving in and out while her heart punching her ribs.

Wondering what the hell she had read. And she figured that this letter explains half of what her parents are arguing about. She picked up the stack of pictures of that girl... naked and wearing skimpy outfits!

"Lee?!" Some photos had her and Lee on it. No doubt it was photo shop because these were pictures on his Facebook.

"Hey, Clem... What is that?"

Clem shot a look at Lee. He made it home before Carley. Usually it be Carley but... There's no time to think! Why is he early!? Lee came in out of breath. As if he was running home for something... Something like this in her hands.

Lee hurriedly took those pictures away from Clem. She snatched it back, hiding it behind her. Disgust filled her face.

"Lee! You're cheat-"

"NO! CLEM! I would never- Hand me the pictures please. Everything. Now." He held out his hand. Clem narrowed her eyes at her father figure. She stepped back a couple of steps.

"Lee... Is this why Carley is- Who is this?!" She threw the photos on the floor out of frustration and confusion. Making a total mess in front of the man. Lee ran his palm over his hand.

"Why her?!" She screamed. Tears welling up.

"She was here, Lee. Just a few minutes ago! How do she know where you live? How she somehow knows me?!" She panicked. Lee crouched to pick up all the photos off the floor. Clem watched him as she folded her arms.

"Clem, listen to me. I would never in my life cheat on your mother. I love Carley. Very much. This girl right here... is trouble. She is ruining my life. I already told the school about her sexual harassment case in class." He explained.

"She's obsessed with me. Stalking me... She's trying hard to get with me." He growled as he gathered all the photos. Sick of looking at them, he shoved it back in the envelope.

Clem took the letter and slapped it on Lee's chest. He held it in his hand while looking bewiled at his daughter.

"She seemed pretty happy to be with you after graduation." Clem sneered. Lee read the letter, in rage at this point. He slammed his fist on the table, causing Clem to jump. The paper scrunched in his fist.

"You're going to leave us?" Clem cried.

"Clem, don't be stupid. I love this family more than anything. I would never turn my back on you guys. And I bet...She meant to give this to Carley." He glared at the envelope. He pulled out his phone, placing it on his ear.

Clem sat down. Staring at the envelope. Daring herself to burn the whole thing this instant. However, she has proof to show her mother about this psycho bitch. How could she? Why does that blonde have to bother her family?

The girl's knuckles were ready for blood.

Clem trusted Lee. He never shown any interest for another. She can feel it in her heart when she heard the man saying he loves Carley. The love of his life. And his family. She had to be dumb to believe he's leaving them for someone like that chick.

"She's not picking up." He threw his phone on the table.

"That's because I made it home. Surprise to see you here early. No time to spend with her." Carley waltzed in the kitchen. Lee ran up to her and hugged Carley. She struggled to push him off, but he wouldn't budge.

"Carley, I love you. You have to understand that baby."

"Don't tell me lie-"

"Carley... that girl came to the house to send this to you. She claimed it was work and I... opened it because I was ...curious... BUT she lied and trying to break this family apart." Clem warned as she held up the envelope. Lee moved out the way, so Carley could see the evidence. She read the letter. When she read the last paragraph and scanned through the pictures, she flipped out. Fake pictures of Lee and the college student together and seducing him with nudity.

Clementine never saw Carley so red and shouted out colorful words before. Carley wept as she stuttered her threatening plans to do to that college girl.

Clem held Carley in her arms as well as Lee.

"I would never break this family apart because of this. Clem. Carley." He whispered to them. Lee explained that he told the school.

He called the police about his situation again and the family waited for their answer on the phone in the kitchen. No report from the police yet. He hoped the envelope help push the case to give Molly some help and stay away from his family.

Carley felt humiliated and angry at herself. Felt so stupid for thinking her husband to cheat on her when she went out doing stuff behind his back and ended up getting a kiss by an old friend. She cried harder. Lee was more faithful then her. She doesn't deserve someone like him. But why keep it to himself.

"Why didn't you tell me this from the very start?" She cried as she looked at Lee. Cupping his face to rub her thumb over his cheek.

"At first, I told myself, I wouldn't make you cry. And it hurts so much to see you like this. I'm so sorry, sweet heart. No more secrets." He hugged her. In his arms, she smiled.

Later that day, Carley and Lee talked over everything in the living room. Clem sat on the top of the stairs, listening to them. Hearing them laugh again was pleasant.

Bothered by how she saw the girl right in front of her.

Clem got up to go back in her room. Lightly shutting the door.

The day she sees her, Clem will make sure that girl see hell.

.

"Sorry, Clemster. I had another dinner to go to tonight." He apologized. Through the other line, the girl sighed. She really wanted him to cuddle with her but her parents hogging the living tonight and Louis's parents already had plans for him.

"Its fine. I need some rest anyway." He heard her say, wearily.

"Yeah. Wish I can say the same. Talk to you tomorrow morning."

"Okay. Good night."

"Night, Gorgeous." He smiled as she snorted. They hung up and Louis went inside the restaurant where his family and their company sat.

"Who was that on the phone, Louis?" His father asked him. Louis sat down and placed a cloth on his lap.

"A friend from school."

"Next time don't answer the call when there are guests joining us at dinner. It's rude." Louis's mother uttered to Louis. Louis rolled his eyes to the side. They always pick up their phone at dinner parties and what not when it's a work emergency.

"It was an emergency. It was about...um... A homework."

"What a bright boy." A woman said.

"That's nice that you have friends in school." A teen girl said as she smiled across from Louis. The girl has dark curly hair, fair skin, elf like nose, and hazel green eyes. Next to her, her father chuckled. He's a very jolly man that sings opera. He has short dark hair, dressed up covering his large belly shirt tucked in his pants, and a curly end mustache. He's from Italy and married an English woman who plays the cello. His beautiful wife with long sandy blonde curly hair, eyes like her daughters, and a body like an hourglass.

"You should probably let Stephanie meet your friends. She barely has any since she been home schooled at a young age. And being stuck in the music high school, she barely has much friends. Like your boy here." Her father insisted as he took a gulp of his wine.

"Um... Sure. But my friends aren't..." Louis trailed. He loves his friends. They distract him from this world with fake ass fancy people who brags about their bank accounts, old fashion music, and boring cruise trips. He rather not brings someone in that world to his favorite place to be himself.

Especially this girl, Stephanie. A violinist who is the same age as him and going to school for music.

Unlike him he chose to be in a gifted school that only the principal knows him by his background and everyone has no idea who he is except for his close friends.

"Yeah. They aren't talented or fortunate as Louis and your girl. I do not want your daughter to be influenced by childish video games or crazy schemes. She's an elegant lady." Lance complimented Stephanie. Stephanie's cheeks flushed.

"Oh nonsense! They are still children!" Stephanie's mom joined the conversation. Louis rolled his eyes and ignored the conversation. He poured three empty glasses with sangria. Drowning it before anyone noticed.

Stephanie stared at him. She tapped her transparent stilettos on Louis shin. He picked up his eyes, landing on her face.

"I don't mind hanging out with you sometimes. If you don't mind, can we exchange numbers." She smiled with her phone in her hand. Louis shrugged. She handed her phone to him. The boy drunkenly typed his number.

He handed her phone back and she immediately texted him. He felt his phone vibrate and checked it. Seeing the unknown number and adding it in his contact as Stephanie.

He stuffed it in his pocket. Rolling his head over his shoulders.

Can this night end soon?
