Me: I don't own My Candy Love. Just Lexus. Thanks to Alyce Dreameater for reviewing and following this story. Hehe, You see who the mysterious person is and in answer to Alyce's review, I would do the same if that happened to me. Hehe, Lexus' phone is a freaking tank. Anyways Enjoy!
I was really disoriented the next day. I could barely do anything and I could barely think straight. Iris and Melody were the only ones that asked if I was okay.
"I'm fine. Really." I replied, opening my locker door. Iris gave me a look to say that she didn't believe me and Melody sighed. She was a nice girl, but her being smitten for Nathaniel got kind of annoying.
"Lexus, you've been really out of it lately. The only thing that you've done was write and draw." I shoved my books into my locker with more force then needed, startling them both. I turned to them both and harshly glared at them.
"Look, I don't need you two on my case. I told you I am fine, end of story."
"Lexus..." Melody started but I pushed passed her. Iris called my name but I ignored her. Tears of frustration started to sting at my eyes and I growled as I furiously wiped them away. I had grown up learning that crying meant you were weak. I walked into the courtyard and screamed in anger. I was so mad I wanted to rip my hair out. Why the hell does he think that he can come back into my life!? The bastard can go rot in hell with the bitch that dares to call herself my mother. I grunted in anger as I kicked the tree in the courtyard and pinched my bridge.
"What did the tree ever do to you?" A voice asked and I looked up to see Castiel standing there with a smirk on his face and his arms over his chest. Heat rose in my face.
"You saw my little fit?" He chuckled and walked closer to me.
"I think 'little' is an understatement for what I just saw." The heat in my face seemed to get stronger when he said that.
"What would you call it then?" I asked and he shrugged.
"A rage attack?" I frowned and sighed.
"What? You don't blow off stem every once in a while?" The look that he gave me was priceless. The way his nose crinkled was kinda cute. I inwardly frowned at my thoughts. What the hell?!
"I have outlets, I don't just scream and kick trees." He said flatly and I chuckled.
"I have a valid reason for kicking the tree, you know." Since I showed Castiel my scar, he and I started to become little closer and friendlier. He was still a smartass, but I shoot snide remarks back at him.
"And that is?" I inhaled and my nose twitched. I exhaled and looked at him.
"My dad... He found me."
Castiel's mind went blank when she told him that. She bowed her head.
"Wait, the dad that abandoned you and left you to die?" She gave a slight nod and Castiel moved closer. Under her hair, he could see something sparkle as it raced down her cheek. He took her hand into his and she looked at him with eyes filled with unshed tears.
"Hey, it will be okay." He tried to comfort her but she backed away like a frightened animal.
"Don't you realize that this puts everyone I know in danger? If he's willing to raise his hand at me, he wouldn't hesitate to do it to someone else." Castiel snorted.
"Trust me, Lexus. I can take a hit, though you bring up a good point."
"So what the hell am I supposed to do?" Castiel shrugged.
"I don't know. You should find a place under his radar."
"Like where?"
"He doesn't know the town as well as you do, you can hide out somewhere. A place he would never think to look." Lexus thought and nodded.
"I know a place."
After school, Lexus led Castiel to the bright house on the edge of town. Castiel gave her a questioning look and Lexus shrugged sheepishly.
"My Auntie isn't what you would define as normal." She did the bunny ears around normal as her Auntie stepped out and tackled her into a bear hug. Castiel tried really hard not to laugh as Lexus shoot him a desperate look.
"Lexus, how are you?"
"Auntie, I just saw you this morning. You're acting like you haven't seen me in years." Lexus said flatly and Castiel chuckled amused. His chuckling caught her Auntie's attention and she grinned.
"Hi Castiel."
"Hi Monika." Castiel chuckled again at Lexus' confused face.
"Wait... You guys know each other?"
"Yea, everyone in this town knows your aunt." Her face twisted again.
"Is that a good or bad thing?"
"That depends."
"Well, you kids can continue this inside." Lexus looked at her aunt.
"Is that code for 'Come inside, I'm tired of standing here?'" She asked and her aunt nodded. Lexus laughed as she stepped inside, but Castiel lingered on the doorstep.
"You can come in too. My aunt doesn't bite." Lexus stated.
"I'm more worried about you. I know that you bite." Castiel said as he stepped inside. He chuckled at the hurt look on her face.
"Hey, I don't bite. Most of the time."
"Rrright." She rolled her eyes. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw him sit on the couch.
"Can you stay for dinner, Castiel?" Her aunt called and Castiel saw Lexus' look of complete panic on her face and he chuckled.
"No I have my dog to worry about."
"Oh shit!" Lexus yelled and ignored as her Aunt called at her to not to curse. Castiel looked at the girl who was rubbing her neck sheepishly.
"What?"
"I totally forgot about Bling." She snickered at the confused look she gave from him.
"Bling's my ferret."
"Oh, you have a ferret?"
"I have her as a kid." She simply explained. She walked for the door.
"You sure you can get there on your own?" He asked, standing up and she tossed a look over her shoulder.
"I'll be fine, Cas. Besides you said it yourself, I'm a badass." Castiel smirked.
"Yea, don't be getting a big head, Hartwood." She chuckled as she slipped out the door.
