Chapter 44

So summer ended a week ago and thankfully everything is back to normal. I've been looking into doing modelling but haven't told anyone yet, not sure how everyone's going to take it to be honest. Right now I'm getting ready for school.

We have a trip to Australia planned for early Saturday morning, today is Wednesday so not long now! I just want to get out there and breathe, school is so stressful and I want a break even thought we're only a week into the semester.

Anyways, I'm just finishing my hair right now. After I tied the top half up I walked downstairs to get some food. I waited for Cody's call to say he's outside. Trey's never at home anymore, he's always with his girlfriend so he hardly takes me. It's either Cody or Cameron.

My phone rang so I quickly walked outside with my bag, I got into the car. I kissed Cody's cheek. "Morning." I smiled. "Good morning, beautiful." Cody looked me up and down. "I like your outfit." "Thank you, I bought it when Alli and I went shopping." "It's pretty." He started the engine.

I had on a short, pink, floral summer dress with a simple nude belt. I also had on nude heeled boots that cut off just by my ankles. I had on the necklace Cody bought me and the pandora bracelet too. "So are you picking me up too?" I watched his face as he drove.

"No, I've got work. Sorry." "It's okay, I'll get Cameron or call Trey." "Trey sounds like a good way to go." I rolled my eyes at him. "I just don't like him." "I know you don't but I do." He rolled his eyes. "Don't you think you should trust me?" "I do." "Then wh-" "It's not that I don't trust you it's that I don't like him and I don't think you should like him."

"Why? What did he do to make you not like him so much?!" I started to get annoyed. "He hit on my girlfriend." "So? What difference does that make?" "That's my job, you're my girlfriend and no one else should flirt with you or anything like that!" He sped up.

"Cody, slow down." I could tell he was mad and he drives too fast when he's mad. "I just think you should be friends with someone who can respect that you have a boyfriend." He pulled up in the parking lot. "And I think if you really feel the need to tell someone what to do you should look in the mirror and do it that way." "I'm warning you, do not get into his car tonight." I got out and slammed the car door.

"What's happened now?" Cameron appeared by my side within seconds. "Hey Cam!" I said loudly and hugged him. I watched Cody as he watched us. "He's not dumb, he knows you're trying to annoy him." Cam laughed. "It's working though, isn't it?" I smirked and walked into the building.

I was sat on the grass waiting for Cameron to leave the building when Cody rung me. "What do you want?" I asked him. "Just wanted to hear my lovely girlfriend's voice." He said sarcastically, I scoffed. "Seriously what do you want?" "I'm working late tonight so I can't do dinner anymore."

"You're working late or just don't want to see me?" "I'm working late." "Right." I noticed Cameron come out the front doors, he walked over to me. "I have to go, Cody." "Who's taking you home?" "Trey." I couldn't be bothered to fight with him.

"Are you sure?" "Yup." "You wouldn't lie to me, right?" "Of course not." Cam and I started walking to his car. "Are you lying to me right now?" "No." "I'm going to ask you one more time.. Who's taking you home?" "Dammit Cody! Why don't you believe me?!"

"Because Trey is sat right next to me in the car." He hung up the phone, I looked at Cameron with wide eyes. "What?" "I'm in so much trouble." "Why?" "I told him Trey was picking me up but he's with Trey." Cameron laughed. "That'll teach you." He started the engine.

"It's not funny!" I hit him playfully, he hit me back. "What are you doing tonight then?" "I don't know, Cody is 'working' late so he cancelled our plans." "You don't think he's working?" "He was really pissed off this morning so I think he just doesn't want to see me." I shrugged.

"If I was your boyfriend, I'd wanna be with you all the time." He looked from me to the road, I smiled slightly. We pulled up on my drive. "So do you wanna come down to the beach with me tonight?" Cameron looked at me, I looked at the house.

"Uh, I don't know if that's a good idea." "Come on, Hollywood is too busy to spend time with you, you should be with someone who wants to spend time with you all the time." "It's work, Cam. It's not like he chose for it to be this way." "You told me you didn't think it was work."

"Well that's between Cody and I, not you." "I just don't think he's the right guy for you." "And I think you should keep that opinion to yourself." I got out the car and walked to the door, Cameron caught up with me. "Is anyone in?" He asked, I looked at the driveway for cars.

"Nope, doesn't look like it." "Lauren, kiss me." He moved closer to me, I stepped backwards. My back hit the wall, oh no. "I don't want to." "I know you do, you've had a crush on me since kindergarden. What's changed?" He stroked my face with his thumb.

"I have a boyfriend who I am in love with so please stop." "You want me, I know you do. You wouldn't ask me to take you home if you didn't." "I thought we were friends, I didn't want to kiss you." I pushed him away from me and moved away from the wall.

"I want to kiss you." He pushed me up against the wall again with a hand either side of me, I couldn't get away from him. "Go away, Cameron!" I tried to fight him off me. Too late, he pressed his lips onto mine. I felt his hand slide up my dress, I closed my eyes. My body tensed and froze at his touch.

I felt the weight of his body and his hands lifted from me, I opened my eyes and saw Cody hit him around the face. Trey was no where to be seen, I was still frozen I couldn't speak. Before I knew it Cameron was on the floor, I was so scared. "Cody! Stop!" I ran over and stood infront of him.

"Go inside." He instructed me. "Don't hurt him no more, you're going to put him in hostpital!" "Lauren get inside the house now!" He shouted, I did as I was told before he did anything else. I ran up to my room and rung Dan, he'll know what to do.

"Hello?" "Cody just beaut up Cameron." I cried into the phone. "He what?! Why?!" "Cameron was forcing himself on me and I guess Cody saw because he just started hitting him and he fell to the floor and then when I tried to stop him he shouted at me and I'm so scared, oh my goodness." I hurridly said.

"Alright, I'll be over in one minute, I'm just leaving mine." He hung up, I went downstairs to see if Cody had come inside. Nope, I went and stood by the door. Cody was shouting at Cameron this time, cursing and everything. I noticed Dan at the end of the drive.

He came over and seperated the two boys, I felt faint. I was still terrified. I walked into the living room and dropped onto the couch. After a few minutes I heard the front door slam, I jumped with the sudden, loud noise. Cody came into the living room.

"Are you mad at me?" I asked quietly. "You deliberately went against what I said." He was really mad. "I uh- sorry." I stood up. "I just wanted to prove to you that he was my friend and I can be with him whenever I want to be but it backfired." I looked down.

"Why didn't you listen to me? I knew what I was on about from the start." "I just didn't want you to be right, I had no idea what his intentions were." I sniffed. Cody came over and hugged me, he held me tightly against him. "Are you okay? He only kissed you right?" I nodded as I held his shirt in my hands.

"I'm so sorry." "No, it's my fault." "How?" I looked at him. "I saw you guys arrive, I should of stopped him before he even touched you." "Why didn't you?" "I wanted to see if you would kiss him." He looked ashamed. "He was touching me." I confessed, I felt as if I'd just cheated on Cody although we both knew I had no way to stop Cameron.

"Oh baby." He kissed my head and held me closer. I moved away from him, I noticed his nuckles had blood on them and were cut. "Come with me." I led him upstairs. "It's fine, I'll sort it." He moved his hand away from me.

"No, you're bleeding." I walked into the bathroom and ran some warm water into the sink, I got out some cotton wool and called for Cody. "Cody?!" He came in and leaned against the door frame. "I don't need to be looked after, I'm capable of sorting it out myself."

I grabbed his arm and pulled him over to the sink, he tried to get free but I sat him on the toilet and sat on his lap. "Now what? Huh?" I teased and kissed his lips. As I reached for some cotton wool and dipped it in the water his hands grased up my thighs.

"Cody, stop." "You asked what now, I'm showing you." "No." I grabbed one of his hands. "This might sting a litle bit." I pressed it onto his skin. "Ow!" He pulled his hand away. "I did warn you." I took it back and nursed his cut hands.

"Okay, that's enough of that." Cody took the cotton wool off me as I was finishing his second hand. "Cody, just let me finish." "No." He hid his face in my neck, I laughed at him. "Does it not hurt to hit someone's face?" I asked. "Yes it does, that's why my nuckles are messed up."

He started to kiss my neck, wet kisses. I moved my head to the side so he could do it more. "No one's home." I reminded him. "No one's going to come home either." I played with his hair. "Is that you asking me?" He asked with a smirk, I looked away from him.

"How about we eat first and then we can do whatever we want." "I'm not hungry." Cody stood up and pushed me against the wall. "You need to start eating again, it's been too long." He kissed me, I kissed him back. "Come on, we can order pizza." He moved back and we went downstairs.

"You're calling them." I passed him the phone. "What do we want?" "Two cheese pizzas and cookie dough too." I grinned, Cody laughed and started to dial the number. "Cody?!" I tried to get his attention. "Cody!" He waved me away and turned around.

"What did you want?" Cody walked into the living room where I was sat. "We should build a fort down here and sleep in it tonight." I jumped on the couch. "Let's do it!" We ran upstairs and grabbed all the blankets and pillows we could find.

We used the chairs from the island in the kitchen and hung the blankets off them and layed loads of pillows down and blankets. It was so cute, we also had the tv so we could see it and we brought my fairy lights downstairs too. Cody hung them up around the room and plugged them in.

"I'm going to have a shower, when the pizza comes just come and get me?" I asked, Cody nodded as he admired our hard work. While I was in the shower I heard the door open. "Cody, get out." "But the pizza's here." He moaned, I laughed.

"Hey, I need a shower too." "No, not while I'm in here. There's plenty more showers in this house you don't need to take a shower in here." "You're so boring." I laughed at him and finished my shower, I opened the door and wrapped myself in my towel.

I noticed Cody was stood in the doorway watching me. "Have you ever heard of privacy?" He nodded and walked towards me. He pulled me into him. "Maybe we can eat later." He kissed my neck, I pushed him away. "Do you want a shower or what?" "Yeah, I'll be quick." He turned on the shower.

I changed into a tank top and some sweat shorts, I quickly dried my hair. Cody came out of the bathroom and looked through my closet. "Do you know where my sweats are?" He asked. We have clothes at each other's houses. "Uh, I think they're by my pyjamas." "Found them."

We went downstairs and ate our pizza in the fort. I kicked the box away once I was full, Cody picked it up and put the boxes in the kitchen. I pulled my shirt off my stomach slightly and rested my head on my hands. "Trying to impress are we?" Cody asked, I shook my head.

I put my feet up on his stomach, he moved my legs apart and got down on his hands and knees with a leg either side of him. "I love you." He kissed my stomach, I moved his head where I wanted him to kiss me. "What are you doing tomorrow?" I asked.

"Well I was supposed to work late tonight so I'm going to work." "Oh yeah, how come you came over?" "I knew you were going to not do as I told you to so I wanted to make sure he left here without touching you." I was quiet for a little bit.

Cody rested his chin on my stomach, his body was still inbetween my legs. "Hey, Cody?" "Hmm?" "Do you think he would of done anything else if you didn't show up?" "What do you mean?" "You know he forced himself onto me but do you think he would of done anything more serious if you weren't there to stop him?" I asked.

"That's the exact reason I freaked so much, just the sight of him forcing you to kiss him was too much. I can't believe he did what he did!" "I can't believe you beat him up." I confessed. "He was like on the floor and couldn't breathe." "That'll teach him to touch my girlfriend."

"Don't you care at all? He couldn't breathe Cody, you stopped him from breathing." "I know but who knows what he would of done to you. You're unbelievably weak." "I'm not, I'm stronger than you think I am." Cody laughed at me and sat up.

"I'm probably stronger than you." I sat up too. "Wanna bet?" "Place your bet." I folded my arms. "If I win we do what I want all night." He winked, I rolled my eyes. "And if I win?" "If you win, we do what you want all night." "Hmm, sounds good." I thought about it.

"So what do you say?" He ran his hand up my leg slowly. "Game on!" I jumped on him and tried to restle him to the ground, he faught me off him and pinned me onto the floor. "Still think you're stronger than me? Huh?" He teased.

I kicked my legs and pushed him off me with my feet as he had my hands pinned to the ground. "No, I give up." I sighed, Cody smiled. "Good." He kissed my lips quickly when he pulled away I pulled him back. I flipped us over and sat on his stomach.

I pinned his hands above his head with a smirk on my face. "Looks like tonight is my lucky night, aye?" I said sweetly. "That's against the rules!." He pouted. "Show me the rulebook." "I had you pinned down first." "I had you down for the longest."

He sat up and brought me up with him, I slid down his body and sat in his lap. "What do you wanna do then?" "Can I do your makeup?" "No." "You said-" "And in reality I won our bet so you better chose something good." He kissed my lips.

"Uh, can we watch movies?" Cody nodded, I got up and walked over to the DVD rack. Cody crawled over to where I was stood. I felt him kiss my thighs, I kicked him away gently. "I don't want to watch movies." He said with his hands on my hips.

"I do." "Come on, let's go lie down." He pulled me gently, I moved him away with my butt. "How about this one?" I held out The Notebook. "Chick flick night." He cheered sarcastically before sighing and crawling back to the blankets, I laughed at him and put the movie on.

While we were watching the movie all the power went out, I sat up. "What was that?" I asked scared. "Probably just a power cut." "No, I don't like it. It's too dark." I hid my face into Cody's chest. "It's alright, it's just a little dark. Nothing's going to happen." He comforted me.

"Wait, Lilly's fairy lights don't need to be plugged in. Can you go and get them?" I asked. "I'll be right back." Cody walked off using his phone as a light. Once he came back he set the lights up over the blankets and then crawled back under them to me.

"Now, I think it's my turn to do what I want." He whispered, as his hand slid up my shirt. "I'm not sure." I stuttered, he moved his hand away. "Why? What's wrong? Are you alright?" He sounded worried. "I just keep thinking about earlier."

"Baby, you're okay now. You're safe here with me, I'm not going to make you do anything you don't wanna do." He kissed my lips and then layed down on his back. I watched his face, taking in all of his features. He's so beautiful.

"Cody, I love you." I whispered, he turned to look at me. "I love you too." I kissed his lips softly, we both looked at each other. Within seconds we were making out, Cody pulled me on top of him. "Are you sure?" He asked me, I laughed at him and started kissing his chest.

He let out a small goran as I kissed his neck, I smirked. He rolled us over and pinned my hands above my head as he kissed me. "Shall we go to my bedroom?" I asked. "No, here's fine." "Bu-" "Shh." He put his finger on my lips as he started to kiss down my body.
