Living a Lie

Chapter 7: without you

C.C's POV

i heard footsteps coming from around the corner i knew it was sam. he was the only person in the school who knew where my hiding spot was. i qickly blew my nose, wiped away the tears and straightened out my clothes trying not to look like a crying mess.

"you know i dont care what you look like" sam said standing in frount of me. i realised he must of seen me straightening myself out. he held out a hand for me to help me off the ground behind a shed on the back oval in the very corner of the school.

he found me one day when he was playing soccer with the guys, the bell for end of lunch went and someone must have done a big kick becaus eit went over the shed into my hinding place, sam came to get the ball but found me blubbering because of something Kimmy had said to me. he helped me to the next class in which coincidenntly we had together.

i took his hand pulling myself up and dusting myself off before giving sam a big hug. he was a great hugger and helped me get it together alot during the past 3 weeks of school. once we pulled back he said

"you know brody didnt mean what he said back there" he said defending brody

"yeah thats alot what it looked like"

"He didnt mean-"

"He on purposly humiliated me in frount of everyone including Molly and Ashlee so dont go telling me that he didnt mean anything got it?" i said pointing an accusing finger at him.

"He honestly didnt mean for anyone to hear he was just caught up in the moment and it just happened that as soon as he started his little rant that Ashlee and Molly came around the corner. if it makes you feel any better Bordy's over there almost in tears cause he feels so bad."

"Dont come around here telling me that he didny mean anything and that he feels like s**t because he wasnt the on to get completely humiliated in frount of his only friends okay?"

*ring*

saved by the bell.

"what do i have
now" i asked sam knowing that he knew my time table off by heart because it was almost the same as his.

"Science" he said with a small frown

"Crap!" I said "I'm stuck sitting next to Brody and Ashlee."

"You'll be fine ask the teacher if you can sit near a window or something so you don't have to sit next to them."

"Thanks got to go if I'm late the teacher will kill me." I gave him a quick hug before heading to science. as I was walking there I realised I had a tone of messages/ missed calls
3 missed calls from Brody all with super long voicemails
2 messages from his saying sorry and the other one asking why I told his friends about Friday night
There were also a few from Wes and Alex saying he didn't mean it
And a few missed calls and texts from Ashlee and Molly but I didn't bother reading them because I already knew what they were about.
I was so busy looking at my phone that I ran into my eye crush( someone that you have a crush on but only like to look) Cody. He is in the year above me, he has long wavy blond hair that almost reaches his but is fairly tall and has a lip piercing
"Sorry" he said in a deep tone.
"Sorry" I also said I moved out of the way but we both went the same way I moved the other way but so did he, he held onto me and spun me round so we were on opposite sides
"Thanks" I said giving him a smile.

I kept walking to class. when I got to the door I saw the only other place to sit was next to Luke.
"Sir can I sit next to Luke for today please?" I asked
"Why?" he said
"Because I want to talk to him." ok not the complete truth but this man is stubborn.
"Well you can talk after class." he said
"Sir if I sit on the opposite side of the class to him I will yell but if I sit next to him I will whisper, so it's your choice." I really hated him and I always ended up getting snappy with him.
"Fine but when I'm talking you will pay full attention. Am I clear?"
"Crystal" I said with a sickly sweet smile.
I went and sat next to Luke
"Hey" I said pulling out my book from my bag.
"Hey beb." he said its the little nickname he made up for me this morning. because when I was little that's what my brother used to call me.
I looked over at Brody who was staring at me as I started to flirt with Luke just to tick Brody off.

In the middle of Sir's little rants about how the children on Africa have nothing to drink but bacterial water. when a note came flying at my face, I opened it up curios of what it was

C.C
Without you I'm sad
Without you I'm numb
Without you everything seems Gary and dull
Without you there is no point.
I'm sorry!😩

I tried not to be forgiving it was the cutest thing anyone had ever done for me. but after what he had done its gonna need a lot more than a cheesy note.
