Trust and Confusion

Hey everyone - I know my last chapter was kinda confusing...But hopefully in the other few chapters it will get clearer . I hope you all like this one and Please if you want review ...Cause I do update faster -And I wont be updating during August.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Beep!...Beep! Hitting my alarm clock I lazily sat up and rubbed my eyes. God, tomorrows Monday...They don't give us enough weekend relaxation! I turned over and stumbled out of bed and into the hallway to the bathroom. I stood in front of the mirror and splashed cold water on my face to wake my nerves. I went back to my room and flopped back on the bed. Ok I know I'm forgetting something, but what?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ooh! Don't do that baby! Ahh!

Hold this! Lash jumped and fell off the bed and started searching for his cell phone.

"Lash, what's going on up there?" His mother called from downstairs. Lash started panicking.

"Nothing!" He tried to say through the loud moaning from his missing phone.

"I doesn't sound like nothing!" She started walking up the stairs.

Oh, sock it yo me! Aaahh! Ooooooh!

Lash was throwing clothes everywhere going through pockets and shaking everything. "Where is it ! Oh my God where the hell is it!?"

Ahh! Me so horny. Ahh! Ahh! Me so horny!

Lash finally found his phone. Just as his mother opened the door.

Me love you long time! Lash flipped open the phone and his mother gave him a look and turned away.

'Oh thank God!'

"Hello?" Lash breathed heavily.

"Hey Stripes! Whatcha been up too ya sound tired?" Violet scolded at the phone.

"You are no longer aloud to play with my phone!" Violet started to laugh on the other end.

"Sorry it was to much fun."

"Ha, ha, very funny. What do you want?" He was a little annoyed now because One: his mother would have killed him if she heard that ring tone and Two: she was laughing about it.

"That's no way to talk to your girlfriend."

"That's no way to treat a boyfriend," he shot right back.

"Ok, ok. We're even. Now the reason I called is to see if you remembered our band practice today?" Ah so that's what I forgot ...Duh!

"Yea of course I remembered. I'll be over there soon, ok?"

"K. Love ya. Later."

"Love ya too." I hung up and looked for something to wear. I found a orange shirt that went over my striped one and a pair of really faded blue jeans. I sprayed some axe and left.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Violet's P.O.V.

Gunie, Warren and Clare were already down in the basement, all we were waiting for was for Lash to arrive.

Knock...Knock. I swung back the door and Lash stood there looking amused about something. I let him in and gave him a questioning look.

"It's just weird to see no colour in your hair," he smirked. I rolled my eyes and grabbed his hand, dragging his butt down the stairs.

"Look who stopped by to visit!" We reach the bottom of the stairs and stood in front of everyone.

"About time," Warren said carelessly while tuning his guitar. Clarity shot him a six feet under glare and turned back to face us.

"Lets get started shall we?" We all nodded and Lash took his seat and Clare and I took our places.

After a couple of my songs we took five. We all head up stairs to get drinks and food. I took Gunie to my room and Warren crashed in front of the T.V.

End of Vi's P.O.V

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"What's to eat around here?" Lash said strolling into the kitchen.

"Whatever you can find." Clarity replied and sat at the counter. Lash nodded and stretched for a drink in the fridge and chips in the cupboard, he then stood next to Clare.

"So what's new Clarie?" Clarity gave Lash a weird look.

"Not much. Other then the fact I joined a rock band with my sisters friend, boyfriend, and a complete jerk." She huffed and crossed her arms over on the counter table.

"I see you do not like Mr. Peace?" Lash leaned close to her.

"He's just so arrogant," she sighed while snagging a chip from Lash.

"Well I know for a fact that the arrogant Mr. Peace likes you... and I know you like him back." Lash smirked at her guppy-like expression.

"I do not like...Oh shut up!" She turned away blushing, Lash just grinned.

"So you love my sister?" She really wanted to change the subject, so Lash let it slide.

"Yes." Lash took a drink of his coke.

"But why? She almost killed you!" She flung her hands in the air.

"That is exactly why. She was the only girl who tried. And who didn't try and get my attention " He smiled to himself.

"Your weird. But I guess that is the way love works." She smiled and shrugged.

"I just want to know one more thing?" She bit her lower lip.

"Yea?" He turned to face her.

"You would never do anything to harm her right?"

"Of course not!" She smiled.

"Then I know she's made the right choice." She embraced Lash, he hugged her back when the door swung open and they pulled apart a bit.

"Hey guys we're...Wait! ...Are you two getting along?" Vi paused in the door way. They nodded.

"Sweet. Well come on, we're going to get practice on. Oh and you're singing Clare." Vi turned and got the others.

They all went down to the basement. Everyone went to their places and looked at Clare to know what song to play.

"Um... Ok. Mirror, Mirror." She stood at the mic and put both hands on it. She glanced over at Vi, she was setting up another mic and plugging in her guitar.

"Mirror, Mirror lie to me, show me what I wanna see
Mirror, Mirror lie to me." Both Vi and Clare sang.

"Why don't I like the girl I see?
The one who's standing right in front of me?
Why don't I think before I speak?
I should've listened to that voice inside me." Clare sang. She put full spirit into it, closing her eyes and taking a few steps away from the mic.

"I must be stupid must be crazy must be out of my mind
to say the kind of things I said last night ...AHHH!"

Clare tripped over the mic cord. But something caught her right before she hit the floor. She was pulled up to her full right up position. She turned and came face to face with Warren. She blushed like mad.

"Thanks," she mumbled.

"Whatever klutz. Just watch it. This stuff wasn't cheap you know." He strummed a couple of strings. Clare stopped blushing and glared.

"I can't believe you! You care more about a lifeless thing than a living one who could have gotten hurt!" Warren looked up at her and put his guitar down.

"Maybe because I find in more important then a tiny annoying pixie." Warren said with no emotion at all on his handsome face. She glared and huffed, looking up at him. (A/N: Sorry KD) Neither of them noticed Vi, Lash and Gunie going up stairs. She stomped on his foot and hit him in the stomach.

"Your going to regret that!" Warren growled, firing up. Clare put her hands in his making the flame go out.

"Watch it Hot Head or I'll put it out for good!" She turned and stomped off up the stairs, she turned the door knob but it didn't open.

"Vi!" She hissed and glared at the door.

"You guys ain't getting up here till you stop fighting! Oh and I put the power fail thingy up!" Vi called through the door. Clare sighed and went back down the stairs to find Warren sitting on the couch. He stared at her.

"What!?" She shot at him.

"Well we have to make nice. Don't we?" Warren said in a very bored tone.

"Yea and why are you staring at me?" She crossed her arms over her chest.

"I'm waiting for you to sit down," he sighed, leaning back into the couch. She rolled her eyes and sat as far from him as possible.

"Well. First of all, if we're going to have to get along we're going to have to trust each other." He looked at the space between them. She blushed slightly and moved a bit closer.

"There. Not so bad, is it?" He smirked.

"So what do you want to know?" Warren asked, looking deep into her eyes.

She looked away but can still feel his gaze boring into her.

"Um...How do you feel about Lash dating Vi?" She fiddled with a loose thread.

"Uh ... I don't really like Lash." He sighed.

"Why? He seems like a nice guy." She shrugged.

"You haven't known him as long as I have," he glared.

"Ok...Is there anything you want to know about…me?" She glanced up at him.

"Uh...Who do you like?" Warren smirked. She blushed a deep red.

"Uh..." She looked down at her feet, as if something just grew out of them.

"Ok let me guess. Is it Will? No can't be, Hippy likes him... I know Ethan?"

He leaned closer so he could hear what Clare mumbled under her breath.

"What was that?" He lifted her chin up so she was looking at him.

"I said ...It's neither of them. But...you." She tried to turn away. But Warren held her still.

"There! You happy!" She started to get a little angry. Warren looked a little confused.

"I'll tell you who I like." Warren moved closer to Clare. They were so close that he could almost feel her breath on his face. She nodded slightly.

"You." He leaned in the rest of the space and kissed her. Her eyes were wide with shock but she closed her eyes and melted into the kiss. She responded by putting her arms around his neck and pulling him closer. He snaked his arms around her, too. His right hand was at the back of her head and the left was at the small of her back.

Lash stretched his neck so he could see what they were up too. His eyes widened and he snapped back to his normal form.

"So? What's going on?" Vi and Gunie asked.

"Well...They're… They're kissing!" Lash looked up to see both of them gawking at him.

They pulled away for a brief moment then kissed again. Clare ran one hand along Warren's broad and strong back and ran the other through his already messy black hair with that one red streak. Warren moved his hands from where they were before, both hands were now cupping each side of her face.

"You guys can come up now!" Vi called down. Clare pulled back but Warren got one more kiss in.

"So what does that make us?" She took Warren's hands in hers.

"Nothing." He wrenched away from her. She looked confused.

"I guess blondes really do fall for anything." He smirked but it didn't make it all the way up to his eyes. (A/N: Sorry to any blondes out there I don't mean it promise) Clare's eyes started to water.

"But... You… And I... We…" She started looking around as if she dropped something.

"Yea I only did that to get out of here." He got up and headed for the stairs.

"And by the way you don't really think I'd like you?" He walked the rest of the way upstairs. Clarity sat there hurt, sad, angry and confused. The lights flickered and she screamed. She stomped up stairs, where Warren, Vi, Lash and Gunie all stood. She marched straight up to Warren.

"You are a fowl, arrogant, pig!" She spat and slapped him across the face and ran upstairs to her room. Lash leaned against the banister and glared at Warren.

"I'm gonna go." Gunie gestured and left. Vi looked at Warren.

"What did you do?" She growled. Warren put his hands in his pockets and looked at the ground. Her hair started to go on end and her eyes turned black. Lash stretched his arms around Vi.

"GO!" Lash nodded toward the door and Warren left. Lash let go of her, his arms a little sore.

"If you need me I'll be at the junk yard trashing cars," she hissed and ran out the door. Lash closed the door and turned to the stairs. He slowly walked up the stairs, he made it to the landing.

"Clarity?" He didn't get a answer. He walked to the end of the hallway and peaked his head through the door. He saw Clare sitting at her window seat with her legs pulled up tightly to her chest, she was looking out the window as if someone was going to open it and say hi.

"Clarity, you mind if I come in?" She turned and nodded and looked back out the window. Lash walked in and sat next to her.

"Are you ok?" She nodded.

"You said he liked me?" She didn't glance at him.

"He does. He really does. He just doesn't want you to love him back." Lash's arm stretched so he could rub her back.

"Why not?" She put her legs down and moved closer to Lash so she was resting her head on his shoulder.

"Uh ..It's a long story." Lash looked away from her.

"We have plenty of time." She sighed.

"Ok but I'll only tell you if you promise me after I'm done telling you, that you will answer anything I want to know?" Lash pleaded. She looked nervous but nodded.

"Ok. Well it all started back in Elementary school. Warren had a huge crush on this girl, Terry Ray. He always tried to talk to her but nervous every time he got the chance, but one day she stopped him in the hall and told him that she liked him too. She said later that day to meet her at the mall. He went, she never showed. She did this for awhile, the night of the dance she humiliated him in front of the whole student body! He got so mad that his power over took him. That's why he doesn't like getting really angry. He was sitting outside of the building watching it burn. Most of the people survived but her. He cried the whole time. She kinda deserved something bad but not that." Lash sniffed.

"But what does that have to do with me?" She looked up at him.

"Well he doesn't ever want to hurt his love ones. And he really doesn't want that to happen to you." Lash stroked a pieces of hair out of her face.

"So he doesn't have to shut himself out from the world!" She blushed at the fact she raised her voice and Lash gave her the most funniest look ever.

"Ok, so what was your question?" She asked.

"All right. Has...Vi ever been ...I mean...Was she raped?...By that dude she hates?" Lash looked down at his hands. Clarity's eyes widen with shock and fear.

"I don't think I should be the one to tell you." She put her hand on his, he looked at her.

"But do you think she'll tell me?" Lash looked worried.

"She'll tell you when she's ready." She smiled and hugged Lash.

"Uh where is she anyway?" She said pulling away.

"Junk yard blowing off some steam." Lash smirked.

"Well what you waiting for? Go get her." Lash smiled and hugged her again and left.

"Clare ...Thanks." He ran down the stairs and out the door. He was making his way down the path way.

"HEY!" Lash stopped and looked around.

"Up here!" Lash turn and looked up. There on the roof was Vi, smiling down at him.

"What are you doing?" Lash cupped his hand over his eyes to block the sun and to see her better.

"Just ...Chillin! Come on up!" She smiled. Lash laughed and stretched up and sat behind her, wrapping his arms around her, she leaned against him.

"Vi can I ask you something." Lash asked with a worried look on his face.

"Yea shoot." She ran her hand up and down his striped sleeved arm.

"Vi, were you raped?"
