The Neighbor

six

It's been two months Hellie and I are great. I have officially reached 16 million subscribers on youtube! When the video of me admitting to having a relationship with Hellie came out everyone went crazy! Mainly all of my subscribers are happy for us some people think she's using me. I don't really care what they say because im happy.

My parents haven't tried to contact me which I am grateful for. Hellie has noticed that I never talk to my parents she's asked me about it before but I always change the subject. Oh, and I am now 21!

Darling!?" I asked I just got to her house. I was taking her on a surprise date tonight.

"In here love!" Hellie called from the living room. I smiled and walked in there to be greeted by Tim.

"Oh hi, Tim" I greeted. trying to be nice even though I hated his guts.

"So you're the bitch sleeping with my girlfriend?" He asked. I raised an eyebrow at him.

"And you're the bitch that cheated on the best person that you could ever have!? And she's not your girlfriend she's mine, not yours!" I said before Hellie could say anything. I walked over and kissed Hellie on her cheek then sat down between Tim and Hellie. "So what are you doing here?" I asked.

"That's none of your business. I am leaving now." He got up and left.

"God I hate him!" I groaned when we heard the door shut.

"I know" Hellie sighed.

"What was he doing here?" I asked.

"He was talking to me about a new movie he wants me to play in," Hellie explained. I nodded.

"Okay anyways im changing the subject now. Come on I have a surprise!" I smiled and grabbed Hellies hand. We started walking to the door.

"What is it?" She asked.

"It wouldn't be a surprise if I told you!" I explained. Hellie groaned but couldn't hide her smile. We walked out to my car Hellie sat in the passenger's seat and I sat in the driver's seat.

"Come on just a little hint," Hellie begged but I shook my head and started driving.

"You will find out soon enough!" I chuckled. About thirty minutes later we were there. I sat up for a picnic in a field and the sun was about to set so we could watch the sunset.

"Put this on!" I demanded handing Helena a blindfold once we got out of the car. She covered her eye and we started walking.

"Don't let me fall!" She squealed as we continued walking.

"I won't!" I giggled and continued watching her every move to make sure she wouldn't fall. When we got there I went behind her and took off her blindfold. She gasped when she saw the picnic.

"Baby it's perfect!" She turned around and kissed me with the biggest smile. I chuckled and we sat down.

"I found this a while ago. I was filming a vlog and I thought this is the perfect place to have a picnic. And watch the sunset together" I smiled and kissed her.

"Your so sweet." Helena whisperd.

"Thank you. Now let's eat!" I said and we started to eat. The sunset was beautiful although I wasn't really watching it I was watching Helena watch it. The way the sun hit her face made her look even more beautiful. And the soft smile that was planted on her lips or how she would close her eyes and take a deep breath every time a little bit of wind blew and every time the wind blew it would always move her hair and shape her face perfectly. I knew it right then and there "I love you" Helena looked at me surprised. She didn't say anything still processing but then a huge smile came over her face.

"I love you" She kissed me. The kiss was full of love. We heard a click and broke the kiss and looked at where the sound came from there was somebody in a bush taking pictures of us. We looked at each other and giggled. "We should probably go before Paparazzi surround us" hellie whisperd. I nodded and we both got up and quickly packed the stuff up and left. Once we got to her house we went to bed since we were both tired.

"Good night my love" I whisperd.

"Good night" Hellie kissed my nose and then snuggled into the crook of my neck I wrapped my arms around her waist and pulled her closer to me.

"Coraline! Get your ass down here right now!" My dad called from the front door. 'He's drunk' I thought. I slowly made my way out of my room and to him.

"Yes, father?" I asked.

"Come here," he said I slowly made my way closer to him. As soon as I was close enough he slapped me right across the face making me fall to the ground. I hissed in pain and tried to hold back my tears knowing if I did then it would be worse. I slowly stood back up." you aren't going to be anything in life! You are worthless! You are nothing! Margaret!" He called for my mom. She came running into the room when she saw what was happening she smirked.

"Yes, dear?" She asked.

"Take her to the basement!" With that, my mom pulled me to the basement with me screaming and crying and kicking trying to get out of her hold. When they take me to the basement it gets bad. I get locked down there for days with nothing to drink or eat and the only time they come down there is to beat me.

I was thrown down the steps and landed on my back on the hard concrete floor my mom slowly walked down the steps and grabbed me by my hair then dragged me to the corner of the basement where I have to stay at. She kicked me in my stomach to keep me down while she went back to the door and locked me down here.

I shot up in bed with a big breath. I looked at Helena she was still sleeping peacfully. I slowly got out of bed and went to the bathroom. I closed the bathroom door and went to the sink and looked at myself in the mirror. My eyes were all red a puffy I must have been crying while sleeping. I turned on the fossil and splashed some water onto my face and then just stood there for a while my hands on the edge of the sink and looking down.

"Cora? What's wrong?" Hellie asked. Coming into the bathroom.

"Nothing my love just a nightmare," I said and looked at her.

"What was it about?" She asked coming closer to me and hugging me. My eyes got watery just thinking about it.

"Nothing important. Can we just go back to bed please?" I asked. She looked at me for a minute then nodded and we went back to bed.

"You know you can tell me anything. Right?" She asked cupping my cheeks. I smiled and nodded.

"I know" she smiled and laid back down cuddling back into the crook of my neck and me wrapping my arms around her.
