Someone Different (A Cody Simpson Fanfic)

Chapter 3

Cody's P.O.V.

Laila's wearing a 2-piece bikini that shows off her amazing tanned body. I hope she isn't creeped out right now. My eyes have been locked on hers ever since I got here. She looks so amazing... she's always looked so amazing.

"Uhh, I- I gotta uhm go get something to drink, I'll catch up with you guys later.” Laila announced.

…Of course, this has been going on ever since…oh what the hell, it’s been like this forever. Laila always finds a way to avoid me. I’ve never quite figure out why, though. It’s really getting frustrating.

“I gotta go to... I’m kind of thirsty. Any one wants something to drink?” I asked

I didn’t wait for their response, I went out the door as quickly as I could and went downstairs to look for her, I checked in the kitchen, where the snacks and beverage are, she’s not there. I figured this was going to take a while so I got a root beer for myself. Just when I was opening it, I saw her, across the room. She wasn’t alone, right next to her is this guy Jake, Alli told me about him and how they used to date. I’ve been very cautious about asking Alli all the things about her, I don’t want her to get any hints, or  else she’ll never leave me alone about it.

I stood there, and watched as Jake kissed her neck, hands on her waist. Laila pushed him away playfully and smiled. She’s obviously flirting and Jake is obviously drunk. I clenched my hands and tightened to my soda can, which is now crushed and root beer is spilling out through my hands. Jake isn’t quitting, he forcefully grabbed her hand and pulled her against the wall and started kissing her lips, making his way down. Laila doesn’t look comfortable, she’s trying to push him away but Jake got his hands locked on hers, not letting go. I saw her lips mumble something, but I can’t understand it. I dropped the empty soda can, and made my way over to them. Laila saw me coming, her eyes wide.

I tapped Jake’s shoulder and he ignored it, alright, now I’m furious. I grabbed his shoulder so hard, he stumbled to the ground.

“Cody! What the hell?!”  Laila shouted

What? How is this my fault?

Before I could look at her, Jake got to his feet and punched me. Hard. Nothing I can’t bear though, I clenched my jaw and punched him across the face, again and again.

Laila’s P.O.V.

Jake is lying on the ground, his left eye is closed and swollen from Cody’s strikes. It took 4 seniors to get him away from punching Jake. Everyone is staring at Cody. Even Alli, Eve, and Stella came out of Eve’s room and are standing on top of the stairs. I looked over at Stella, she looked at Cody then at me; her eyes wide.  

I glanced at Cody one last time; he’s looking at me with sorry eyes. He looked at Jake, who is still lying on the floor unconscious. He stood up and headed outside to the shore. Everyone is looking at me now, waiting for my reaction.

Cody’s P.O.V.

I ran. I ran as fast as I could, I don’t know where I am, or where I’m going, its pitch black, but I don’t care. I just humiliated myself. In front of Laila! How could I be so fucking stupid? My phone rang, it’s probably Laila, telling me how much she hates me and that she’ll never talk to me again. I already went over some apologies in my head, but I suddenly just forgot all about them. On the 6th ring, I answered it.

“Hello?” I said, catching up with my breathing.

“Where are you?!” Matt screamed in my ear.

I really don’t want to dicuss about how the video of me punching Jake is trending worldwide on Twitter right now and how I have to plan on a public apology because I'm not really sorry for anything. 2 seconds later, my phone rang again.

“CAN’T YOU SEE I DON’T WANT TO-“ I screamed

“Cody..?” Laila gasped.

“Laila..I’m so sorry.I-“

“It’s okay. Where are you?” She asked “I’m outside and you’re nowhere in sight.”

“I’m fine, don’t look for me.” My voice sounded harsh, and I have no reason why. 

I dropped my phone and sat on the sand.  The waves brushed along the shore and my clothes immediately got damp. I looked up and the stars are shining bright, reminding me of Laila’s eyes. The tides are high tonight, just how I liked it. I strip off my clothes and dove in.

The water is cold, and my whole body is numb. I sink in and open my eyes, its pitch black even under water.  I looked up, the sky is still the same: bright and beautiful.

I was about to swim to the shore, and that’s when the wave hit me, knocking every air I had. I tried to swim back up, struggling. My arms and feet are moving, but I’m sinking down…lower and lower and I realize, the arms and legs which I thought were still moving were now on rest. My eyes shut, and my thoughts silent.
