SliceOBread91: Tankyou for adding me to your fav stories list!
Oh by da way, i swear quite a bit, so if you think T isn't high enought could you say. I think it is, but i'm just warning you guys!
Silence. "Who's there?" asked Caleb slowly walking forward. I didn't hang around to wait for them to find out it was me. I did the only thing I could in that moment.
Run.
Well more like walk really fast as my shoes wouldn't let me do much more than that. I arrived at the entrance of Nicky's and was surprised that I had made it that far without breaking an ankle or something. Note to self: Never wear 6 inch heels to parties were I might need to make a quick get a way. I looked over my shoulder to see Pogue and Caleb come out of the Ally. They were looking the other way so I quickly entered into the bar.
I swiftly wandered over to the bar, did a little circle in time to see Pogue, Caleb and the others entering. Omg, I don't know what I would have done if they had seen me. I needed some time to figure this out; but I also needed a ride home. I sighed, another reason not to have worn these shoes, I could have walked home otherwise. I pushed my way through the crowd up to the guys table. Sarah and Kate were there as well and I rolled my eyes when Kate raised her eyebrows. I noticed Sarah nudge Kate under the table.
What ever, it's not like I wanted to impress these girls; they were the ones that needed to impress me. Hello, most popular girl. I turned to Pogue. "Hey bro, any chance of a lift?" I asked, not really expecting I would get one. I stood as far away as possible, still scared mindless. I consoled myself that they wouldn't do anything in this space. What the hell were they?
"Sorry sis... what!" he shouted over the noise. "I said could I have a lift home!" I yelled back. "Come closer, we can't hear you, or are you afraid of us Cordelia?" sniggered Reid, pouting, obviously trying to imitate me but failing miserably.
Yes I said in my head. Scared shit less.
"No Reid, what I'm scared of is sharing the same air that you breathe. I don't want to get chicken flu." I retorted, flapping my arms like chicken. "Look like you, don't I?" Tyler, Sarah, Caleb and even Pogue couldn't stop the smiles flicking across their faces. "So Pogue, I was asking if I could have a lift back to the dorms?" I said, walking around everyone and coming to stand next to him. I wasn't as scared of him as I was the others. He was my twin after all.
"I'm sorry Cordelia, but Pogue's taking me home," answered Kate, speaking before Pogue got a chance to open his mouth. I shot daggers at her. Stupid of me to forget. I remembered a time when me and Kate had been the best of friends, during that 2 year time when Pogue and the boys were being assholes. Then we arrived at Spencer's and I became friendly with Kira and co. while Kate became friends with my brother and his group.
"Great, guess I'll walk back then." I sighed thinking how many blisters I was going to have when I got back to the dorm. I turned around starting to head over to the door way out. "Hey C, why don't you catch a lift ahh!" I turned around to see Reid punch Tyler in the stomach. He bent over double while Reid sat back, a satisfied look on his face. I suppressed an urge to smack Reid's face and leave a bright red hand print over his face. "Thanks Tyler, but I don't want you to be thumped to death by your so called friend, and like I said earlier, I don't want chicken flu. Thanks any way," I smiled at him when he looked back up at me.
I could have sworn I saw a light die in his eye. I smiled again and turned around; thinking over what I had seen this evening. Back from my flirting with Tom, to Reid calling me a slut; to Aarons fight with Reid and the boys black eyes. Then that light in Tyler's eye die. Way to much was going on for one night. I was about to call a cab when I realized I had no money. I though about going back in to borrow some from Pogue but I didn't want to get close to them again. I was still too freaked out. I started my mile walk back. I didn't want to think about this evening. I wanted to imagine it had all been a dream. Their black eyes. I shivered from the thought and the cold which had now wrapped it's self firmly around me.
And around my heart, I thought.
Flashback to my 7th birthday
"Mummy, mummy, look what I found!" I shouted with glee, holding a heavy black book in my arms. "It's called the Book of Dam..dam..naaa..shhh..on? What's the book of da..naa..?" I asked, holding the book out to her to look at. She took it from me, frowning slightly. "I don't know sweetie, I've never seen this book before," she uttered, frown set into her face. She started to flick through the book and a look of fear passed across her face. "Where did you find this," she said, breathing hard. "Daddy's office!" I responded, not yet twigging that my mummy, my mummy who wasn't scared of anything, was literally freaking out.
She walked past me quickly telling me to pack some clothes; we were going on a quick weekend break to grandpa's. My 7 year old self didn't work out that we were going to grandpa's because of the book. I thought we were going because it was my birthday. You can tell I wasn't very bright. "Tell your brother" and she walked into the house. I followed her, but went upstairs instead, knocking on Pogue's door. "Pogue, mummy says we are going to grandpa's so she said to get some clothes out so she can pack them." he opened the door. "Mummy says it's because it's our birthday!" I said gleefully while hugging him. He picked me up and spun me round the way he knew I liked. I giggled. "Pogue, this is the best birthday ever!" I squealed when he finally put me down and we went to pack.
How wrong was I.
That day was the beginning of the end. The end of my parent's marriage. One year later they had divorced, I went to live with my mum and Pogue went to live with our dad. When I was 10, my grandpa and grandma died in a plane crash. One in a million chance. Next, Reid's dad died from liver failure and lung cancer. He had been a terrible drinker and smoker. Well, thats what they told me he died off. Finally the end came about at our 13th birthday.
The final event to end my relationship with Pogue and his friends.
Present day
Why had all this happened? Why me? I mean my life wasn't bad. I had loving parents and deep down I knew I had a loving brother, I went to a great school, had a big allowance. What else did I need? Some one to talk to? Some one who understood me? Now I definitely was acting like a spoilt brat. Pull your self together Cordelia! All it takes is for you to get scared by some thing you don't understand for you to fall to bits. I sighed. With all my inner ramblings, I didn't notice a guy start to follow me, and with my clickity clackity shoes on, his footsteps were masked.
The drama that night had only just begun.
Please review!!! It makes me soooo happy!! And it should make you feel good you made some one happy!! :)
(ohh and i have two pictures of the said offending shoe. they aren't six inches but lets pretend they are, they are still bloddy difficult to walk in!)
