I'm glad so many of you liked my first chapter of 'Are We Meant To Love?' come on, you have to admit, the flashback was pretty cute lol
Also, now that 'In Need Of A Savior' is finished I'll have more time to concentrate on 'Humuhumunukunukuapua'a' and 'Are We Meant To Love?' the fish story is really hard to write lol, I'm having serious problems with the chapter I'm writing!
Actually, I think I'll add more chapters to this story! I don't think its going to be a three shot, I think it'll be a lot more but its not going to be too many chapters At least six to seven, how does that sound and then I've got a whole new story coming through, lol, I don't stop:D
I don't own High School Musical…maybe we could all gang up together and take over Disney channel…nah only joking! lol
Chapter 2 – A Comfort And The Unforgiving
CORBIN found his father trying to fix the swing set in the garden. His seven year old sister Kia was sitting on the floor watching with an amused expression on her face as Chad tried his hardest to hammer a nail into the wooden apparatus.
He looked back up the garden where his mother and his younger brother Mathew were sitting not really interested Chad who was making a complete fool of himself.
"Uh…Dad can I ask you something?" Corbin queried.
"Can't it wait for a minute…I'm nearly…AH!" Chad had caught his thumb on the hammer and was now hopping around the garden screaming loudly.
Kia and Mathew burst into laugher whilst their mother sent them a reproachful frown before going to her husband to inspect his thumb.
"It can't wait Dad! It's important!" He said firmly.
Chad looked to Taylor and saw the look of sorrow in her eyes, he nodded.
"Okay, let's talk." He said.
"Not here Dad, it's kind of embarrassing, can we talk somewhere else?" Corbin asked feeling his dark cheeks going red.
Taylor seemed to understand a whole lot better than Chad for she clapped her hands and the children looked at her, "Come on, Kia, Mathew, its time to go in. You still haven't finished your homework."
She ushered them inside before kissing her husband tenderly on the lips and ruffling her son's hair.
"Don't be long, I'm making dinner soon." She ordered and she walked in smiling to herself.
Chad sat on the wall and patted it for his son to come and sit beside him. Corbin smiled lethargically and sighed.
"What's bothering you buddy?" He asked his son.
"Dad…have you ever had troubles with girls and…well…it was your fault?" Corbin queried anxiously.
Corbin sniggered, "It's never happened to me." He laughed smugly.
"CHAD STOP LYING TO HIM!" Taylor screamed from inside the house.
"It's creepy when she does that." Chad said quivering a little and Corbin laughed; his father and mother were besotted with each other.
"Fine! It's happened to me, why?" Chad asked.
"Well…I really like this girl and I mean really like her and I might possibly love her, 'Corbin rambled, "But I hurt her Dad and now she hates me and I –"
"Whoa slow down Whirlwind, what do you mean hurt her? You mean 'hit hurt' or –"
"No nothing like that! I mean, I said some hurtful things because the guys were really having a go at me and they were about her. She heard Dad and now she thinks I'm some obnoxious pig." Corbin said sulking.
"Lucy doesn't think that!" Chad laughed.
"How did you kn…it's not Lucy." Corbin replied quickly shaking his head.
Chad laughed, "Look son, you've just got to make her see now that you didn't mean it. If you care about Lucy then you should stand up those who want to put her down. You won't regret it." Chad said softly.
Corbin stood beaming, "Okay! I guess I'll just do that! I'd better go in; I've got to help Kia with her homework." Corbin groaned.
"I'll see you later!" Chad said to his son and he watched Corbin run into the house and he was immediately reminded of himself.
LUCY shot up out of her dreams and gasped loudly. Her chest heaved loudly and her breath was caught in her throat. She had a terrible nightmare; Richard had come for her from the dead and was chasing her through her house. Everywhere she looked her family were dead!
Richard never looked human in Lucy's nightmares. He was always this monster or this decomposed demon. She had never seen him really; she couldn't remember him from her time as a baby so she always saw him from her imagination.
She stood up out of bed and slipped her dressing gown around her. She picked up Mr Snugglesnort, her dragon bear and carried him down the stairs with her.
She made sure no – one was around before she opened the front door and peered out into the darkness. Corbin's house was only a few houses down; she would only run a few houses! She closed the door gently behind her and tip toed across the garden path. Her father had ears like a hawk, he heard everything. She closed the gate and then dashed down the road, whimpering. The darkness clawed at her and she wanted to be safe inside the Danforth's.
She made her way in front of the window that was Corbin's and started to through stones at it. She waited patiently and listened closely for all the sounds that were around her…
CORBIN had woke to a clinking at the window and he threw himself out of bed quickly remembering that only one person ever did that. He made his way swiftly and quietly downstairs and slowly unlocked the door. He smiled softly, there she stood, dressed in yellow baby duck pyjamas and clutching her favourite stuffed dragon, Mr Snugglesnort!
He let her in and she walked upstairs shivering and looking nervous. When he looked the door he followed her wearily.
When Corbin got in his bedroom Lucy was standing by the window looking out at Albuquerque. He closed his door behind him and stood beside her.
"Hey!" He whispered softly.
"Hey." She replied gently.
She turned to look at him, her glimmering blue eyes filled with tears and her shoulders jerking silently in sorrow and he wrapped his arms around her and let her bury her head into his shoulder.
"I just want to be held." Lucy whimpered.
"What's happened? What's wrong?" Corbin asked her stroking her tantalizing brown curls.
"I just…I…I had a nightmare." Lucy cried.
They were standing in the darkness together, they were cold and the atmosphere of Corbin's terrible actions the day before had filled them up with awkwardness.
"Was it Richard again?" Corbin asked her sweetly.
Lucy nodded and Corbin shivered when she brushed her fingers against his bare chest. Corbin couldn't believe how close she was and it made it hard to concentrate on what he was saying and what she was saying.
"Come on, a good sleep will do you good." He told her.
"I can't, I have to go home." Lucy said shaking her head vigorously.
"No! Please don't! I want you to stay." Corbin pleaded and before Lucy could even protest he was leading her to his bed.
He pulled open the blankets and after a look of reluctance from Lucy, she got in. Corbin got in beside her and Lucy rolled over to him sniffing and whimpering.
He stroked her arm gently as she buried her into Mr Snugglesnorts wings. Corbin kissed her forehead softly and he felt one of Lucy's hands gently caressing his hair.
"Luc…I want to apologise…I really am –"
"I don't want an apology Corbin! I don't want you to apologise." Lucy replied a little too coldly.
"Huh?"
"You did what you had to do. You've got your boys and you obviously don't need me around to make anything in your life seem fun or good or happy!" Lucy said dejectedly.
"That's not true! That's not true at all, I need you so much." Corbin pleaded.
Lucy yanked herself out of his arms and turned over against the wall. She felt safe away from him despite the warmth and arousal she felt when she was lying against his bare dark chest.
She felt Corbin kiss her shoulder gently, it was a chaste kiss and very endearing and she felt him slide a hand around her waist and she did not shrug him off.
"Goodnight Lucy." He whispered to her and she shivered feeling his warm breath against her ear.
"Goodnight Corbie!" She replied.
Corbin sighed, she wasn't ready to forgive him yet, she was the unforgiving but he would damn well make sure he made it up to her, one way or another!
There you go! Another chapter, it wasn't very good I think. I believed that to be a rather pathetic chapter. Like I said, I'm thinking about a new story, lol, fan fictions got me so hooked. When I get a proper story line, I'll tell you! How many of you want a new story, totally Troyella!
