The Neighbor

eleven

It's been a week all I have done was stay in my bed all day. I have barely eaten anything but I do take care of Flower so don't worry! I also put on a fake smile for filming and post on the right days at the right time.

I haven't talked to Helena at all and anytime somebody knocks on my door I ignore it. Helena for the first couple of days tried to text me and call me but when she realized I wasn't going to answer it she stopped. I don't know if she has come over to my house but I'm pretty sure she has.

I have concluded that the universe wants me to be alone my whole life. That's why everyone leaves me or abuses me.

I barely go outside scared that if I do go out that I will see Helena.

I slowly got out of bed so I could feed Flower and let her out, leaving the back door open. Once I let her out I heard a knock at the door I ignored it and went into the kitchen to get myself something to drink.

"Cora please let me in I need to talk to you!" I heard Chris yell. My head shot up and I quickly ran to the door, opened it and Chris was standing there I immediately wrapped him in a hug and started crying and then I stopped and pushed him back angry.

"You stupid bitch! I was worried sick! You just got up and left and didn't even say bye you just left a note!" I yelled. We were both now outside.

"I know I'm sorry," Chris mumbled. "But I need you right now" he started crying.

"I needed you too!" My voice broke "I walked in a saw Helena and Tim kissing a week ago! The same day I found your note!" I started crying again and Chris wrapped me in a hug.

"Oh love I'm sorry! I really didn't want to leave but he threatened me!" Chris sobbed.

"What! Who threatened you!?"  I asked but before Chris could say anything Flower ran out of the house and across the street to Helenas house. I looked at where she was and saw Helena not even a couple of feet away from her leaving her house. She hasn't noticed Chris and me yet but then she looked across the street and saw us. "Flower!" I yelled then whistled. Flower stopped in her tracks and started to pout while walking back. Once she got to me I lifted her up and kissed her head. "I know love I'm sorry," I mumbled. "Let's go inside and talk," I said looking at the ground so I wouldn't stare at Helena. Chris and I walked inside and sat on the couch. "Now! Who the hell threatened you!?" I asked.

"Tim" he mumbled.

"What!?" I yelled and stood up from the couch.

"That's the only reason why Tyler was with me. Apparently, Tyler owed Tim something so he got with me. A-and I told him everything. I mean everything about you and me and our friendship. And then he told Tim and Tim threatened me saying if I didn't leave you then he would tell everyone our secrets! I'm sorry I trusted him!" Chris started crying and I immediately hugged him.

"Hey hey it's okay" I soothed him while he cried. Flower got on the couch and started licking Chris's face making him chuckle.

"Whos this little girl?" He asked.

"This is Flower." I introduced them. "Hey, do you need a place to stay? I noticed that all your stuff is in your car?" I asked.

"Y-yeah" Chris stuttered.

"You can stay here I need a roommate to get me up and out of bed." I offered

"Oh yes please!" Chris yelled. "So now tell me about Helena."

"There's nothing much really I walked in on her and Tim making out and then I left and haven't talked to her since," I said sadly.

"Oh love I'm so sorry you don't deserve that. Remember I'm always here if you need to talk to somebody! I'm never leaving again!" Chris hugged me. We heard a car start to come down the road. I stood up, walked over to the window, and saw Tims's car pull into Helenas driveway. I was pissed. I stormed out of my house and walked over to Tim who was getting out of his car with Chris yelling for me while following me.

"Tim fucking Burton! I need to talk to you!" I yelled he turned around and smirked. Helena came out of the house and stood in shock.

"Wha-" he couldn't finish because I punched him right in the face making him fall to the ground. I picked him up by his shirt and got in his face.

"If you ever! I mean fucking ever! Threaten Chris again I will not hesitate to kill your ass!" I yelled and threw him to the ground. "Did he threaten you too!?" I asked Helena who stood there still in shock. I walked up to her and cupped her face. "Did he threaten you too?" I asked more calm. She looked down the nodded a little then look back up at me with watery eyes.

"H-he threatened to tell everyone about your parents if I didn't kiss him!" She cried and I hugged her.

"It's okay, love. I'm back," I mumbled and then walked back over to Tim who was leaning on his car. I punched him again making him fall to the ground again. "That's fore threatening the love of my life!" I picked him up by his shirt and pushed him again to his car. "Now this is what's going to happen! You will leave all of us alone! You will not tell anybody! And I mean anybody! About my past or family or whatever you think you have against me! If I find out you have then" I yelled then chuckled darkly "bitch you better hide" I said very calmly. Tim's eyes widened. "Now leave before I change my mind and make you end up in the hospital!" I demanded he quickly got into his car and left. I took a deep breath and turned around smiling. Helena had a shocked look on her face and Chris was grinning.

"And that! That is why you are my best friend! Bad bitch! Yaaaaassssss!" Chris danced a little while I chuckled and walked up to Helena.

"Are you okay?" I asked.

"I'm fine" she breathed still in shock. I hugged her and she hugged me back immediately.

"I'm sorry I should have let you explain instead of being stubborn!" I apologized.

"No no it's okay I would have done the same!" Hellie said. I smiled and kissed her. God, I missed her so much. We heard a bark and broke apart and looked to where it came from. Flower was running across the street towards us. We looked at each other and chuckled.

"Chris you forgot to shut the door!" I chuckled. Chris looked up at me and held his hands up.

"In my defense, I was running after your dumbass! You didn't even give me some to get some popcorn!" He whined. I chuckled. Flower got to us and Hellie immediately picked her up and gave her a big hug.

"Oh, mummy has missed you, my baby!" Hellie squealed. Flower barked and started licking Hellies face to which she wiped it off groaning. "Flower I love you but you have to stop doing that." She whined.

"Hey, I'm going home to start moving my stuff in!" Chris said.

"Okay! Choose any guestroom I don't really care which one!" I yelled as he started walking away. He held up his thumb and went to his car.

"Let's go inside," Hellie said and I nodded.

Hey babes! So I am a very impatient person and I could not wait two freaking chapters or so for Hellie and Cora to get back together sorry if you wanted it to be that way!
