Corey POV whole chapter June
i was currently sat at the old oak tree at the back of the school looking down at my English homework, I honestly cannot feel the motivation to complete this assinment, I hated English, it was my worst subject apart from maths, I laughed to myself, it was the middle of the afternoon in June it was saturday the sun was shining high in the sky and it was roasting hot, but I left my friends who where all currently at the tree house, they had all paired off with each other and I couldn't be bothered being the odd one out in my friend group, the only one without a boyfriend or girlfriend, I'm happy for them all and I am glad they have all found each other, i just didn't want to be left out or pitied beacause I was by myself, I sighed again leaning back against the tree, grabbing my fags from my bag and taking one from the packet and lighting it, i took a long draw before breathing out the smoke feeling slightly better.
"Hey, can i get one of those?"
i looked up and was face to face with Brent, I didnt move for a minute waiting to see if this was a joke, i put my hand over my eye to shield from the sun.
"Are you joking?!" I asked him "you have been making mine and my friends life hell for the past few weeks and you have the cheek to come ask me for a fag? fuck off Brent"
"Wow..no need to be like that baby emo, I was only asking" Brent sneered "If you give me one I promise I won't be nasty"
"ugh! fine" I groaned throwing my fags to him
"Thanks Cassandra" He smiled sparking up the fag in his mouth.
"Its Corey, no one calls me Cassandra" I rolled my eyes as he laughed.
"Why Corey? it's not even short for Cassandra" Brent asked looking over at me, i shrugged my shoulders taking another draw of my fag before turning to look at him
"I have no idea, Andy used to call me it when we where kids since he couldn't really pronouce Cassandra and it just stuck, the only people who still call me Cassandra is my parents and teachers" I told him looking toward the school "why are you being nice to me anyway?"
"Dunno really, guess its becasue your cute when your not dressed like a freak" Brent smiled flicking some ash from the tip of his fag, I looked down at myself, I currently had on a white baggie top which I had cut so it hung off my shoulder, a black bikini top under neath which tied at the back of my neck, my hair which was birght blue was tied up in a messy bun ontop of my head and a pair of light grey denim shorts and my ox blood doc martins and my eyes ringed with black eye liner ,lip rings and my nose ring.
"I haven't dressed any different to they way I dress in school" I stated looking at him seriously "Are you trying to make fun of me? like please tell me because I am so fucking confused"
"Trust me Corey if I was going to do anything I would have done it by now" Brent stated flicking his finish fag away "Why are you here anyway?"
"All my friends are paired off, Andy is with Marilyn, Frankie is dating my brother Jeremy, Lacey is dating Marilyns brother Jake and Lily is dating a boy called Darian, I guess I just don't want to be the odd one out" I smiled over to him "rather not be pitied by my friends plus I have my English assinment to finish"
"What about that tall lankey guy who is always hanging round your cousin and your brother, whats his name?" Brent asking clicking his fingers "Ah thats it Christian!"
"Oh, dunno, don't really speak to him, he fightens me a little bit, hes so tall, even for 14, like its just not normal" I laughed, turning to Brent, I looked at him like really looked at him, he had short sandy blond hair, bright blue eyes, broad shoulders and muscely legs, he was currently wearing a white T-shirt and black knee length cut offs,his skin had a slight tan to it. He was looking down at me,
"Yeah i suppose your right" Brent laughed standing up "Wanna come for a walk? I promise I wont do anything" he asked holding his hand out for me to take, i thought about it for a second before taking his hand
"Sure, why not, what have i got to loose" I smiled walking away with him towards the trees.
"So where's your friends?" I Asked him
"somewhere, probably I don't know, I left them at the mall" Brent shrugged looking off to the side before looking back to me and smiling "So Corey, why don't we get to know each other a bit better?" Brent asked
"I dunno Brent, even this is pushing it for me, how do I know you won't use it against me" I told him stopping "I should get back to my friends"
"No, Corey please" Brent pleaded reaching out and taking my hand "I promise, anything you tells me stays between me and you"
"Fine, i'll tell you a bit about me, if you tell me about you first" I smiled up at him
"Deal!" Brent smiled "what about if we play 20 questions?"
"Sounds like a good idea, you first" I Smiled back as we walked towards the beach.
"Okay, whats the deal with you not wanting to be the odd one out amongst your frends?" Brent asked me
"Well when we do all hang out now they are all glued to each other talking about their group dates and just seeing how happy they all are, just feel a bit left out I guess" I shrugged "Why did you leave your friends?"
"They had all started to head home, I didn't want to go home yet" Brent smiled "My home life isn't great the moment, anyway, it's my turn to ask a question"
"Okay...shoot" I Smiled, sitting down on the warm sand Brent settling beside me
"Okay, here's a more interesting one " He smirked "Are you a virgin"
I laughed before looking over to him and shoot my head "No, no I'm not are you?"
"No, I'm not either, I lost it to Mel at the start of the summer" Brent smiled "Who did you loose it to?"
"Em, do you remember William?" Brent nodded "Him, before he moved, it was before all my friends where couples, we where drinking at Jake and Mar's house, and me and William where the only two still awake, so we started playing truth or dare and it just happened" I smiled grabbing two fags from my packet and handing one to Brent "Happened a few more times after that before he moved away, he wanted something more, I didnt"
"Why didn't you?" Brent asked lighting the fag
"I dunno, I just don't really want a relationship I guess" I looked at Brent as he passed the lighter back to me
It was strange, spending most of the afternoon and evening talking to Brent, we kept playing 20 questions before I started to feel hungry, we went and got some food from the pier, it was fun, getting to have fun and spend time with someone who didn't pity me or try and invite me out for group dates just to make me feel included.
"Corey it's getting late, let me walk you home" Brent smiled looking at the time
"okay" I smiled leading the way back to Amanda's house, the streets where quiet, every so often people would walk past us, I turned to Brent and smiled as we reached Amanda's house.
"i think we should do this again" Brent smiled "Hang out I mean"
"Yeah" I Smiled "Yeah we should"
turned and opened the door and waved at Brent as he turned to walk away, I closed the door behind me and walked up the stairs
"Cassandra is that you?" Amanda asked coming out the livingroom
"Yeah Amanda, sorry it's so late I lost track of time" I Smiled walking down a few steps so she could see me
"That's okay hunny! I just wanted to let you know you had a vistior this afternoon" Amanda smirked
"What? I Asked "Who?"
"Christian, he said he was coming to see if you wanted to go camping with the rest of them, I told him you where out" Amanda smiled "I think he has a bit of a shine for you"
"No chance Amanda, he's Jeremy and Andy's friend, also he freaks me out a bit" I laughed walking up stairs and into my bedroom..
Time skip 4 months later September
"Miss Ferguson is something funny?" I looked up from my phone to see the whole of my maths class looking at me
"No Mrs Stewart, i'm sorry" I smiled looking towards the front of the room where Brent was sat smirking at me, to anyone else it would look like he was looking at me like the rest of the class, not that he was smirking because he sent the text that made me laugh we had been hanging out more often since that day out side the school, i've been hanging out with Brent more then Frankie and Mar. I narrowed my eyes at him before turning to Frankie.
"So, who are you texting then?" She whispered to me while writing down the maths problem from the bored
"oh, no one, just see something funny on facebook" I lied, i hated lying to my friends, but they wouldn't understand my friendship with Brent, they would try and get in the middle of it convince me not to be his friend and i didnt want that, they where all happy in their relationships and I was happy with my new friendship
"Are you coming with us to the treehouse this weekend, CC will be there" Marilyn winked
"Who?" I asked looking towards her
"CC, Christian, handsome tall boy with the beautiful brown eyes you could fall into, the boy who has been trying to get your attention for months" Frankie grinned nudging me with her shoulder
"Nah" I laughed moving to start putting my stuff away, leaving my paper on the desk for Mrs Stewart to pick up on her way past.
"Why not? what are you doing?" Marilyn asked "We hardly get to see you anymore"
"I know guys i'm sorry, I'm just busy studying, Dad said i need to pass all my tests or he isn't buying me the car i wanted, Lily already has hers, so does Jeremy and Lacey, they have no issues passing, but I really struggle if I don't study"
"okay, you know where we will be if you change your mind" Frankie smiled standing up as the bell rang, i nodded hugging them both before walking out the door but hanging back slighly before walking out the front of the building,
"You ready for tonight" Brent asked as he walked to join me
"Yes, i cannot wait to let my hair down and have a good drink, are we still going camping in the woods by the beach?" I asked bumping my shoulder against him as we walked
"Yeah i'm going to go get the tent set up now, see you in an hour" Brent smiled walking in the oposite direction.
i smiled to myself as I walked home, unlocking the front door and walking up to my room to get showered and changed,
45 minutes later and i was ready to go, i had my short blue hair strightened, a red halter neck top on with black shorts and black vans and fish net tights, i had changed my lip rings to studs but kept my nose ring in place. grabbing my sleeping bag and my school bag which was now filled with a two bottles of wine and a bottle of vodka and a change of clothes i walked out my room and down the stairs.
"Cassandra? Where are you off to?" Tasha asked as i was about to walk out the front door,
"Oh, just out with some friends" I Smiled
"Okay! Be safe" Tasha smiled waving at me as I left,
walking along the tree line till I could see Brent who was going to lead the way to the tent. the closer I got the more i thought about how i was lying to my friends,
Frankie was right, I never really see them anymore, but then in the same breath its not like they actually spend time with me when we are out, they are to loved up with their boyfriends.
i sighed as i got into ear shot of Brent who looked up at me and smiled
"Ah no, no, no we are having none of that, we are here to have fun, come on" Brent smiled taking my hand and leading me through the trees to the dark green tent i sat my stuff inside grabbing one of the bottles of wine, while Brent had a bottle of rum,
...
a couple hours had past, it was now pitch black and Brent had lit a fire to keep us warm while we sat on some blankets, i had now moved onto the vodka, we where sat facing each other currently having a thumb war, I could feel how drunk I was, i was starting to see double.
"So, do you think we will ever tell anyone about us being friends?" I Asked him as i pinned his thumb under mine
"I don't really know Corey, I guess we just have to wait and see" Brent smiled, pulling me closer to him, his eyes flicked to my lips before moving back to my eyes,
"Brent i..." Brent brought his lips to mine moving his hands down to my waist, I smiled against his lips,the kiss slowly became more passionate, Brent moved pulling me over so i was straddling him, keeping his hands on my waist.
Brent grinned, pulling me up off his lap and pulling my shorts and tights down my legs, slowly moving back up letting his hands trail slowly up the back of my legs, i shivered at the contact as Brent moved onto his knees pulling his jeans down and off along with his boxers, I smiled straddling him again as he pulled my top up over my head kissing my neck...
Next morning
"Oh god, my head" I groaned is I sat up slowly taking in my surroundings I was in the tent, wrapped in a blanket, slowly the memories from last night came back, bringing my hand up and resting my chin on my palm, as the door to the tent opened up and Brent came back in, wearing only a pair of grey boxers
"Hey.." He smiled looking at the groud
"Hey...how are you feeling?" I asked holding the blanket closer to my naked body
"like shit you?" Brent asked, handing me a roll and sasuage i smiled at him
"Thanks...yeah I've been better, I cant remember the last time I have felt this hungover" I laughed "do you wanna talk about last night?" I asked
"Yeah...it was a spur of the moment thing.."Brent looked down "Can we just forget it happened? I don't want things to be awkward between us"
"Yes! of course" I Smiled "I don't want it to be awkward either"
"Cool, thank fuck thats sorted" Brent laughed throwing me over a top from my bag and handing it to me, I pulled it over my head and smiled at him,
"So what's the plans for today?" I ask smiling at him grabbing two cans of moster from my bag handing one to him
"Do you think your okay to go to the pier today?" Brent laughed.
"yes of course!" I laughed taking a drink of my juice.
Art class room 7 months later (April) 2 months before the attack, 5 months after Corey and Chirs found out she was pregnant.
I pulled Brent into the art class room and shut the door behind me looking towards Brent "what the fuck is your issue?!" I yelled at him
"I don't know what your talking about" Brent sneered making a move towards the door but I pushed him back
"Don't lie to me Brent, what that fuck is going on? you have been terrorizing my friends, leaving dead animals in or outside my locker, what that fuck is that?" I yelled at him "What happened that you have started acting like a dick again?"
"Whats happened? Whats happened eh Corey? Fucking Christian happened!" Brent yelled
"What do you mean Christain happened?" I asked looking at him.
"You, you started dating Christian, after what happened between us and a month later you tell me you guys are fuck buddies and now your together!" Brent yelled pinning me between him and the wall
"You said you wanted us to forget what happened, that you didn't want things to become awkward between us, YOU said that, not me!" I shouted back at him, trying to push him away but he placed his hands on my waist and I felt my muscels seize up.
"I know what I said Corey, but for fuck sake, you must know how I feel about you?" Brent asked, I looked at him, confusion clear on my face "Dammit Cassandra I'm in love with you!"
I couldn't help it, I felt the bubble of laugher escape before I could stop it, Brent looked at me and I was now full blown laughing "Brent you are not in love with me! if you where you would not be leaving dead animals in my locker, I love Chris, thats not going to change"
Brent looked at me and brough his face closer to mine, his eyes moved to my lips before going back to my eyes, just as i clicked to what he was about to do he was already moving towards me, i managed to move my face to the side before before he kissed me. he stopped for a minute as his hands moved and rested one flat across my abdomen just as the baby kicked
"What ths fuck is that?" Brent asked fury clear in his voice as pulled his hand away as if it burned him, looking straight at me he walked towards me again "You are going to regret this Cassandra, trust me" before I Could realise what was happening his hands where round my neck and I couldn't breath, I heard the door being pushed open before the world went black
a few hours later
"What..? where am i?" i asked as i opened my eyes, everything was blurry and my throat was killing me
"Corey?"
"Chris?" i asked looking round the room as my vision started to clear up and Chris came into view
"Oh my god Corey your okay" Chris hugged me to him, the room became more visbale and i notice it was a hosiptal room, my hands flew to my stomach and as I looked towards Chris
"Shes fine Corey don't worry, the doctor checked when you when you came in, Brent attacked you, Andy and Marilyn got into the room just after you blacked out" Chris told me handing me a cup of ice and a spoon, scooping some up and placing it in my mouth, i moaned when it came into contact with my burning throat
"What about the baby, did Andy and Mar find out?" I asked Chris shook his head, "nope she's still our little secret" Chris smiled I moved and motioned for him to come and lie beside me
Chris wrapped his arms round me pulling my back againset the front of his body as i fell back asleep.
and there we have it a blast into the past, didn't really wanna write about the attack as it has be refrenced in previous chapters, next chapter will be back to normal time line.
