CC POV one month later, November 27th
BEEP, BEEP, BEEP.
I slowly opened my eyes as the sun broke through a gap in the curtains moving to turn the alarm off on my phone 6:45 shining bright on the screen, back to school today after being off for thanksgiving, I turned to wake up Corey who was still lying peacefully beside me, I stoked her face softly to wake her,
"Mmmm…What time is it?" Corey mumbled
"6:45 baby its time to get up and get ready for school" I told her as I made a move to get out of bed, Corey grabbed my arm and looked up at me, her eyes adjusting to the light
"Chris… are we still okay?" She asked looking up at me, I smiled and leaned down to kiss her forehead,
"Yes! Of course everything is fine baby, don't worry" I smiled walking towards the oak wood drawers to grab some clothes, I heard the bed shift and as Corey got up, I could hear everyone else as they moved about the house getting ready for the day. I grabbed a pair of black skinny jeans and a white jumper along with some underwear before sitting on the bed to get ready.
Once I was dressed I moved across the room to Corey's Vanity table to brush my hair and secure my bandana in place to keep my hair out my eyes, Corey walked out the bathroom, her hair was curled falling down her back, she was wearing a dark red black veil brides hoodie and purple skinny jeans and her black docs, her eyes lined with black liner and red lipstick,
"You ready to head down for some food?" I asked Corey looked up at me and grinned nodding her head I laughed lightly before holding my hand out for her to take, she put her hand in mine and I pulled her to me, wrapping my arm round her shoulders as we walked out the room and down to the kitchen.
After the night at the award show we have all been keeping a close eye on Corey, I know she's still worried about how we are all feeling after her revelation of what happened between her and Brent but we all understand why she was drawn to a friendship with him and that none of what happened was her fault, she still wants to keep the baby a secret until it becomes impossible to hide but at that point she will be on leave from school for the delivery as with Frankie since there is only a month between them, Corey is now coming to the start of her 6th month while Frankie is coming on 7 months, since her and Jinxx announced the pregnancy at the award show they have had some comments but nothing that's actually been bad, Brent has made a couple of comments but he hasn't been much of an issue since Andy basically threatened him to stay away back when the twins where just born, I seen him staring at Corey a lot I don't know if this is a new thing or if I have just never noticed before.
"Chris?" Corey asked, tugging on the arm of my jumper breaking my out of my thought.
"Hmm? Yes baby?" I asked looking down at her
"Are you ready to leave?" She asked me, I smiled and nodded as we walked out towards her car, she had started driving her car more in case she gets sick or feels over whelmed so she can just come home.
We walked out the front door into the crisp autumn air, even though it wasn't actually that cold since it was California but it was 100% cold enough for a jumper, Corey walked over to her red BMW and unlocked the door as we both climbed in, she turned on the heating before strapping herself in, Corey only drove me and her to school so that if she did have a bad day she wasn't abandoning anyone without a lift home.
"Chris, I was thinking" Corey smiled eyes on the road in front of her "About names for the baby"
"Yeah? What have you got in mind?" I Asked looking over to her,
"Well I like the name Adam, but I also like C.J for Christian Junior" Corey smiled glancing over at me
"I love them both!" I grinned at her "But why don't we wait till he's here and see which name he suits?"
Corey smiled and nodded her head, I loved times like this when she was excited for the him coming, I know she can't wait for him to be here, but I think both of our worries out shine the excitement, as we pulled up towards the school it started raining, the clouds dark over the school.
"Great, just great" Corey mumbled as she parked her car next to Andy's
"Oh well, least we are only going into school" I laughed leaning back and grabbing her bag from the back seat, and passing it to her before grabbing mine and moved to get out the car as Corey pulled up her hood, I walked round to meet her, grabbing her hand as we walked with the rest of the gang to home room, as we walked through the halls I notice Brent staring again, this was starting to really piss me off.
"Freak's" Brent Sneered as we walked past, I seen a flash of sadness in Corey's eyes before it was gone and her face hardened and it was gone as quickly as it came and she turned to him, I noticed what she was doing and stood close to her, Jinxx moved Frankie slightly further back as Andy mirrored me and moved closer to Corey
"What the fuck is your problem!" Corey yelled to Brent, who for a brief moment looked shocked before sneering at her
"You! You are my fucking problem" Brent snarled moving closer to Corey
"Why? What have we done to you that you feel the need to abuse us for 2 years?! We are all 18 now Brent! Grow the fuck up! Corey yelled at him, Brent moved closer to her anger clear in his eyes.
"What have we done? No not 'We'" Cassandra" Brent made quotation marks with his fingers "You are my problem, nothing but a dirty emo slut"
Corey looked shocked for a moment before finding her voice again "Slut?" Corey laughed "I am anything but a slut"
"Now that I highly doubt look at the fucking state of you" Brent sneered again "You dress like a slut, you act like a slut, how many people did you fuck before you ever starting dating that freak of a boy?"
"I don't really see how that is any of your business" Corey growled
"Oh, you don't" Brent Smirked.
I moved closer, grabbing the sleeve of Corey's Jumper pulling her back slightly so she wasn't as close to him
"No I don't, my life has nothing to do with you" Corey sneered turning to walk away, Brent made a move towards her, a crowed now gathered round them, including myself and the gang, I moved so I was stood between them, I was a good head taller then Brent
"Stay the fuck away from her Brent, what she done in the past is irrelevant and she's right it has nothing to do with you" I told him, I turned and put my arm round Corey's shoulders, the other students who had crowded round had moved to let us through, I turned and looked at Brent "If I where you I would stop staring at my Fiancé as well"
"I don't stare at her" Brent yelled to my retreating form, I kept my arm round Corey till we reached home room, Jinxx opened the door and we all filed in sitting in our seats at the back of the room, Corey took her seat by the window with me next to her,
"Corey that was amazing!" Ashley smiled turning in his chair to face us
"Yeah, I can't quite believe I done that" Corey smiled back "I have just had enough of his shit! I mean we are all 18 now, this our last year of school, he just needs to get over himself"
"it was amazing" Andy agreed, "But Corey at the same time its was also terrifying"
"I know, Corey, if he had done anything I don't think we would have had time to react and stop him, no one else would stop him" Frankie agreed, her hand resting on her bump
"I know, I know, I just couldn't stop myself, adrenaline took over and I just had to say something but CC?" Corey turned to look at me "why did you mention about him staring at me?"
"I've notice it a few times in class and in the lunch hall when we go to get food before going to the old classroom, I never noticed before but since you told us about your past with him, I've notice it more, sometimes he looks at you and he looks sad, other times its looks of longing and a majority of the time its like he wants to hurt you" I told her, lacing my fingers through hers "I don't know, maybe I'm being paranoid"
"No" Lily stated "I don't think you are CC, I mentioned it to Darian when I was on the phone to him a few nights ago, I mean I saw him staring before but I thought it was because he hated us, since it was always when we where all together or if you where stood with, Mar, Frankie and CC"
"Are you guys being serious?" Jinxx asked looking towards me and his sisters, Lily and I both nodded our heads "Corey have you ever noticed this?"
Corey shook her head turning to her bother "Nope, I haven't really paid him any attention to be honest, why does life seem to get more complicated as we get older, surly is should get easier?"
"Nah, I doubt it, you have more bills to pay, more responsibilities" Ashley laughed as the rest of our home room class filed in and the teacher went over some of the details leading up to winter break,
"Mr Mora, can you stay behind please?" Mr Adams smiled at me as the bell rang for first period.
"Yes sir?" I asked walking to his desk Corey trailing behind me
"Miss Ferguson don't you have class to go to?" Mr Adams asked raising his eye brow at her
"Yes, But CC walks me to and from each class" Corey smiled
"Well I'm sure you will be just fine this morning" Mr Adams looked at her again and smiled "Run along"
I could see the panic rising on Corey's face, everyone else had already left, I turned to Mr Adams "Sir if you don't mind, given Corey's current condition I would like her to stay here still I can escort her to class"
"Mr Mora I appreciate Miss Fergusons condition, however that does not excuse her being late to class" Mr Adams stated looking at Corey "on you go to class"
Corey looked at me for a second before leaving to walk out the door, she turned to me and smiled, I turned to Mr Adams who motioned for me to take a seat "Sir I really appreciate it if I could just come talk to you at lunch I would rather not leave Corey by herself"
"I'm sorry Mr Mora but I need to have a word with you about what happened this morning" Mr Adams stated
"What? You mean Brent verbally assaulting my Fiancé?" I Asked
"Now I would not go that far, as I have been made aware she had started the altercation in the hall" Mr Adams asked me raising an eyebrow
"No, Brent called us freaks when we walked passed then proceeded to call Corey a slut" I stated moving to stand "Now if you don't mind I would like to go to class"
"Actually Christian I would mind, I would like a full description of what happened, then you may go to class" Mr Adams told me
Corey POV
I was walking towards my art class, the halls where quite since it was now 20 to 10 and all classes had begun, I was walking faster then normal since I was on my own, not wanting to be caught out by anyone, I turned the corner bumping into someone and dropping the my books to the floor, as I bent down to pick them up I heard a laugh above my head
"Well, well, well your body guard not here to look after you" I froze while picking up my last book and looked up to see Brent standing over me.
"No, Mr Adams wanted to talk to him" I muttered going to grab my last book off the floor when Brent's foot came down on the book stopping me from picking it up, I looked up again "Brent please" I whispered
"Please what Cassandra?" He smirked at me
"Please get off my book, I need to get to class" I told him looking up into his eyes, rather then the brilliant blue they normally where they where dark blue and angry
"No, no I don't think I will, you and me are going to have a little chat" Brent laughed bending down and grabbing my arm, my blood ran cold as his hand wrapped round my wrist,
"No, Brent please, I need to get to class" I told him, trying to keep my voice from shaking,
"And I need you to come with me" Brent smiled, pulling me up while not as tall as Chris he still towered over me, bringing his head down so it was level with my ear, "come on, for old times sake, do it for an old friend"
I tried to pull my wrist from his grasp but it was iron tight, I felt my panic begin to rise, I needed to get out of this, instinctively my hand went to my stomach. Wrapping round my middle, my bump unnoticeable under the baggie jumper, Brent started to laugh
"Come on Corey, I promise I won't hurt you" Brent whispered in my ear, I pulled my self backwards still trying to remove my wrist from his grasp,
"You promised me that before, and you hurt me worse then anyone" I muttered looking down feeling tears in my eyes, I shook them away, no, no I would not let him do this to me again
"No! No, let me go! " I yelled pulling even harder this time "Please!"
"Like I said, I want to have a little chat" Brent smiled dragging towards the end of the hall towards the unused class rooms, I tried to fight it, but I couldn't, as we got to one of the class rooms, Brent opened the door and pushed me inside, I stumbled slightly but caught myself before falling
"There we go, nice and quiet" Brent smiled standing in front of the door, walking towards me, a sinister look on his face "I did not appreciate how you spoke to me earlier, I want to you to say sorry"
"You want me to say sorry!" I yelled at him standing up keeping my back straight, I would not be intimidated by him "you called me a slut and you want me to say sorry?"
"Yep, you accused me of lying" Brent sneered walking towards me, still blocking the door "I don't like being called a liar, especially by you"
"And how is it a lie?" I asked "You know exactly how many people I've slept with, I told you all of them!"
"Ah yes, this is true, who was it again?" Brent pretended to think about it "Oh yeah! William, the boy who took your virginity, how sweet, Christian and who else?" Brent smiled again "Oh yeah that's right! ME!
"Brent…you are the one who asked for us to forget it happened, that it would be awkward, not me, I agreed to make you happy, I didn't want to loose my friend" I stated remaining of the events that took place "I told you about CC, and you said you did not care, but then I come and tell you that we had started dating and you started distancing yourself from me, cancelling plans, you then started to target me and my friends again, you nearly killed me, you got your friends to attack me, I lost my baby because of you!" I cried tears running freely down my cheeks
"I only said that because I hoped you would bring it up again, or that it would happen again, I wanted you to feel the same way about me as I felt about you, and that I felt that thing inside you kick against my hand, I have never felt so disgusted in my life" Brent whispered "You had a part of that idiot growing inside you, it made me want to throw up, that he had touched you, seen in you a way I had seen you "Brent looked towards me "Kissed you, felt the soft milky skin of you thighs, your stomach" Brent looked away "Not only that, he got you pregnant!"
"Yes Brent, I had sex and got pregnant by a man I love!" I yelled at him, "And then you killed my baby"
"No, I didn't, I wanted to show you what a mistake you where making, wanted to show you how much you would regret being with someone else when I loved you first! "Brent yelled.
"Brent you don't act that way to people you claim to love, that's obsession. Not love" I told him moving back slightly looking for away to get past him to the door, to my escape,
"No Corey! I loved you, the night we slept together was the best night of my life, and then you fucked everything up by fucking that monkey boy!" Brent shouted moving towards me again grabbing my wrists in his hands "It should have been me Corey, not him; you caused all this by picking him"
"No Brent! You cause all this! All I wanted was to be your friend, you where my best friend and you fucked it all up because you where jealous, you killed my baby because you where obsessed with a relationship that would never happen! You terrorized me and my friends for years all because of this! Left dead animal's for me to find, that is not normal" I yelled back at him, I walked towards him placing my hands on either side of his face forcing him to look at me "Brent, you where my best friend, it still hurts knowing you would rather hurt me then see me happy, all I have wanted for years was for you to be happy, I know how bad things are for you at home, I still remember everything you told me" I smiled, rubbing my thumb softly over his cheek as tears fell from his eyes "But Brent you hurt me in the worst way possible, you killed my baby because you thought you loved me, when you didn't Brent" He opened his mouth to say something and I shook my head moving to hold his hands "You loved the fact I was there, that I knew stuff that no one else did, that I cared about you" I smiled sadly at him "Brent I…"
"No Corey, I loved you" Brent yelled before I could finish, reaching forward and placing his hands on my waist in almost the exact same way he had done two years ago in the art room, except this time they where further towards my back "You where mine first"
"No Brent stop!" I yelled as he leaned his face closer to mine and he moved his hands to the hem of my jumper
the door slammed open and Chris came running through Mr Adams hot on his heels, Chris's eyes moving wildly till they landed on me, I could see the fear in his eyes as he seen me with Brent and he rushed over to me pulling me from Brent's hold
"Oh my god Corey, are you alright" Chris asked holding me against him, his hands round my back
"Yeah Chris, I'm okay" I smiled hugging myself closer to him
"What happened?" Asked Mr Adams looking between me and Brent
"He cornered me on my way to class, said we needed to have a chat about how I accused him of lying this morning, and dragged me here, we argued and he.." I Broke off
"He what Cassandra?" Mr Adams asked
"Nothing, we were still arguing when you and Chris burst in" I lied, Brent's head whipped round and smirked at me
"Brent I think you and I need to have a word" Mr Adams told him walking him out the room
"I'm so glad your okay" Chris whispered against my head "I was so worried when I got to maths and you weren't there, and then I seen Brent's chair empty and I assumed the worst"
"I'm okay Chris, we're both okay!" I smiled into his chest
"He didn't find out did he" Chris asked, I shook my head just as Andy and Jeremy came running in,
"Corey! What happened?" Jeremy asked coming and pulling me from Chris's arms, I looked at him and explained what had happened I turned to Andy,
"Where's everyone else?" I asked.
"In the old classroom, we told them to wait there when we seen CC and Mr Adams running down the hall" Andy replied walking over and hugging me
"Corey, when I burst in here, you shouted for Brent to stop, what…What was he doing?" Chris asked, I looked at him and felt tears coming to my eyes
"He…uh..he" I looked at Chris "I think he wanted to..uh…Have sex with me again"
"WHAT" all 3 boys shouted at once
"I don't know if that is what he was going to do, I can't really be sure, he said you where mine first and reached for the hem of my jumper and looked like he was leaning into kiss me, but I don't know" I was looking at Chris while I explained what happened, anger clear on his face, he looked at me and turned to the door
"I'LL FUCKING KILL HIM" Chris roared moving to the door while Jeremy grabbed him, pulling his arms behind his back, Jeremy kept a tight hold.
"CHRIS NO! PLEASE" I yelled after him, new tears making their way down my face "please don't leave me" I sobbed putting my face into my hands sobs causing my body to shake, Andy put his arms around round me, I have never been so happy to have my brother and cousin in my life as Jeremy tried to talk to Chris. I looked over to them
"CC man, Corey doesn't need this" Jeremy told him, causing Chris to look at me
"Seriously man, calm down" Andy told him
Chris broke free of Jeremy's hold and turned to him, eyes blazing mad "What if it was Frankie huh?" he turned to Andy "what if it was Mar, you would you two be calm then? No! You fucking wouldn't! He has tried to rape my fiancé and you two want me to calm down?! She's your blood; you two should be helping me!"
"Oh trust me man, if the circumstances where different we would be helping, he tried to rape MY sister, his cousin "Jeremy pointed over to Andy "But we both know she needs us here, she needs her friends"
I could see Chris trying to digest what Jeremy had just told him, I could almost hear the cogs turning in his head, as he looked over at me, his anger fading and he held his arms open, I ran the short distance to him, throwing myself into his arms letting the flood gates open as I sobbed more
"Shh Corey it's okay, I'm not going anywhere" Chris whispered into my hair wrapping his arms tight around my body as I clung to him.
OOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
