Just A Broken Girl {C.R.}

Chapter 8

We got to my house and we went in my room. He sat on my bed and I followed. I grabbed the remote and turned the tv on.

"What do you wanna watch?"

I ask flipping through the channels.

"I don't know. Teen wolf?"

"Sure."

I turn on teen wolf and put down the remote. Chandler puts his arm around me and pulls me closer. He puts his finger under my chin and gently turns my head so that I'm looking him dead in the eyes.

I swear my heart melts every time I see those eyes. We are only centimeters apart when he talks.

"Tori, I really like you. In fact I think I'm falling in love with you. Bu-"

I cut him off and attached my lips with his. The kiss wasn't hard or sexual, it was light and passionate. It was nice. I pull apart.

"Chan Chan Riggs, I think I'm falling for you as well."

I had a smirk plastered on my face.

"Tori, I was trying to say I can't love you, and you can't love me. It's to.. dangerous. I can't let what happened to Lacy happen to you. Just remember that I love you."

"What, what are you talking about? It's to dangerous, what do you mean? Chandler you can't tell me I can't love you. Who's Lacy?"

"Okay I'll tell you what happened. The year 2013 I was the happiest person on this world. My love Lacy was everything I needed at the moment. She was my everything, and I loved her. Bryson and Jayden, they were jealous they always had a thing for her but she was mine. Their twisted minds thought if they couldn't have her they would just ruin her. They bullied her online and in real life. It started out easy and she I mean we could handle it, then I kept getting worse. They started to publicly humiliate her. Then I progressed and they stared touching her and beating her up. I felt helpless like I couldn't help. I tried to stop them but it made things worse. She acted strong but I could tell she was broken inside. Every time I would bring it up she would get angry. One day she was over at my house and we were laying in the grass looking at the sky. What she said broke my heart.

"Have you ever wondered what dying is like?"

"No why?"

"I'll tell you soon."

I didn't exactly know what she meant. In the back of my head I had a clue. A week later I was in school. I got a text from her saying,

"Just remember that I love you an I always will love you even after death."

It made me smile, I didn't think it was her final goodbye. I had a feeling in my stomach, I ran to her house. The door was open and the bath was running. I ran upstairs and found her. She was on the ground in a pool of blood, lifeless, and pale. I knew she was gone. Tears started to form I grabbed the phone and called 911. I sat next to her and held her hand. Even though this is the worst way of solving anything, I knew she was finally happy. The ambulance took her away and I sat on the bathroom floor, I sat there just thinking. I wasn't even that sad anymore, because the thought of her being happy made me happy. The next day I walked into school and Bryson and Jayden looked at me and laughed. They knew what happened and they were proud of it. It made me sick."

He was crying now. I looked at him and I hugged him. I felt so bad.

"I'm so sorry Chandler. I never knew, you don't have to worry about me though. I love you and there is nothing you can do about it. I am a strong person and I have you to help me through the problems I have. I love you Chandler Carlton Riggs."

"The thing is that's what Lacy said. That's why they did this to you today! They are starting the process again! I can't forgive myself if you kill your self too! I don't want to love you! But I do!"

I was crying now. He was screaming. I leaned in and he kissed me.

"Chandler I love you more than myself and I don't know how that's possible."

He looked at me and laid down. I snuggled up next to him and nustled my nose in the crook of his neck. He's the reason I haven't cut in so long. He fixed me, and only if he knew.
