Rock Angel: A Degrassi Fan Fiction {Owen Milligan}

Chapter 2: Promises...

OWEN P.O.V

My classes leading up to lunch seemed to go on forever! I don't know what this beautiful girl saw in me but I was determined to not let her down. I've never felt this way about a girl, not even Anya. She made me nervous. I couldn't get her out of my head.

"Owen? Owen what the hell man where are you today?" Dallas says loudly through his hands which were cupped around his mouth. "You're all spaced out and junk." "Damn sorry about that I can't stop thinking about the new girl. The one who stays with Clare. She's hot man. Like really hot." I say honestly. "Ha you sound obsessed bro! Where's she from again?" Dallas inquires. "Oklahoma. I've never been there and with the way she talks about it I don't really want to." I say with a yawn.

KEIRSON P.O.V

I have English class with Clare and we immediately end up sitting together. We worked together on the assignment but neither of us needed help as we were both good at English. After English my classes seemed to drag. But finally the bell that signaled lunch sounded and I made my way to the cafeteria to meet Owen.

As I approached the cafeteria I spot Owen talking to a tall boy with an Ice Hounds jacket on. Owen spots me and dismisses his friend and makes his way towards me. "Aren't we going to the cafeteria?" I ask confused as he leads me towards the exit. "No I thought we'd go grab something from the Dot." He says while we walk out of the door.

As he leads me to his car I can't help but feel paranoid about the texts I found on my phone this morning. But I push the thought out of my head and climb into the passenger seat of Owen's car. The drive to the Dot doesn't take that long and soon we're in front of a cute little restaurant. As we go inside I spot Clare and wave Clare responds by raising her eyebrows at us when Owen isn't looking. I'll definitely have to fill her in on everything. "What do you want to eat?" Owen asks me. "I want the spicy buffalo chicken." I tell him. "Okay do you want ranch with those?" the boy at the register asks. "Nah ranch is for sissies." I say with a laugh. I hear Owen's low chuckle behind me as he poked me in the side to let me know he was going to sit at a nearby booth. As we sat down I took a peek out of the window and I saw a car that looked kind of suspicious but there was no one in it so I turned my head to talk to Owen some more.

He asked me more questions about Oklahoma than I cared for while we waited for our food but I answered each one honestly until he asked the question. "Do you have a boyfriend back home?" His words echoed in my ears as I tried to think of a response. I didn't want to be with Blake but I knew he want gonna let me go...not without a fight. "That's a complicated question but the guy knows I'm not interested in a relationship and I've even tried end it but...ugh like I said it's complicated." I rambled not knowing why I felt like I had to explain myself to him.

OWEN P.O.V

I mentally kicked myself for asking her that question as I watched her ramble on looking uncomfortable in her own skin all of a sudden but I stayed silent till she was done. "It's okay I understand just relax okay?" I say calmly hoping it'll ease her mind. She relaxes with a smile but still has a paranoid look in her eyes. I just want to hug and kiss her and tell her everything will be okay but I just met her today and that would be weird.

We spend the next five minutes chit chatting about ice hockey until our to go order arrives. We take our order to my car and eat on the drive back to Degrassi. I stuff my face with hamburger as she eats her chicken quickly. When we arrive we're done with our food and throw it away as we walk in the school. I catch her looking behind herself several times as we enter the building. I wish I knew what was going on with this girl.

KEIRSON P.O.V

The rest of the school day I just want to wrap my arms around my knees and cry but I hold strong. I just pay as much attention to the teachers as I can but I still can't shake my unease. I don't even notice that the school day is over till the bell sounds off scaring me a little. I dump my stuff in my locker and make my way out to Clare's car. I bump into Owen as I scurry out of the schools door. "Where are you going in such a hurry?" He says with a smile. "Going to meet Clare so she can drive me home." I answer quickly. "Well you might want to wait a couple of minutes she's sucking face with her boyfriend." Owen remarks laughing as we walk down the steps. Sure enough when I find Clare she's got her arms wrapped around a tall, tan boy with black her passionately making out with him. Owen says bye and walks across the lot to his own car. I clear my throat to get their attention and they jump when they notice me. "Oh hi Keirson!" Clare says breathlessly. "I'm Drew by the way." Her boyfriend says extending his hand. I shake his hand and smile. We chat for a few minutes until we go our separate ways. "So did you and Owen go on a date?" Clare asks me. "No we just had lunch but I kinda like him, he's really nice." I say softly. "He didn't used to be but he's really changed this year. Maybe you'll be good for him." Clare says nudging me softly. I laugh nervously as she turns onto our street. My nervousness increases as I notice the suspicious vehicle from in front of the Dot is parked on our street. "Clare do you know who's car that is?" I ask as I point it out. "No never seen it before why?" Clare answers. "No reason." I say as I reach for my bag to pull out my phone. The green blinking light let's me know I've got a text to read. Unlocking my phone I check my messages two messages are from my mom, five are from Blake but they chill me to the bone.

My plane just landed. Keirssy did you really think I wouldn't follow you?

I'm parked in front of Degrassi.

Who the hell is that guy?!

You looked right past me.

I'll be parked in front of your new house when you get out of school you'll see the car don't ask any questions just get in if you know what's good for you.

I gulp as Clare parks the car. "I'll be inside in awhile I actually whose car that is now." I tell Clare as I walk towards the passenger side of the car. She gives me a look but goes inside. I open the door and sit quietly looking at my feet knowing he's not happy. He locks the car doors.

Blake grabs my face and forces me to look into those light brown eyes I used to love so much. He's pissed. "Why the hell did you practically go on a date today Keirson?!" He yells in my face. "Owen offered to take me to lunch...I'm sorry Blake." I say in a whisper. "Well guess what if you honk I'm gonna let you break up with me you've got another thing coming. I'm staying in town to keep an eye on you. I will drive you to and from school. Oh yeah you better start acting like you give a damn about me cause we are going to stay together weather you like it or not and if you disobey me trust me something bad us going to happen to Owen and your little friend who drove you home. Understand?" He says after he's done listing his demands. "Yes I understand." I say before he grabs me by the hair and kisses me hard. He kisses me till my lips feel raw and my head hurts from his pulling on it. I'm on the verge of tears but I don't let him catch on. He unlocks the car doors signaling that I can get out now. As I extend my leg to get out he grabs my wrist and squeezes whilst he looks in my eyes and says "I love you Keirssy." I almost don't say it back but his grip on my wrist increases and I quickly say "I love you too." I hurry in the house and go to my room.

I take one look at my bed and cry. I cry so hard I end up falling asleep. When I awaken it's midnight a note on my dresser let's me know that my dinner is in the microwave. I look at my wrist and I'm not surprised to see slight bruises where Blake grabbed me. I just roll over and go back to sleep. I dream of a world where I had been able to get away from Blake for more than a day. A world were I would've eventually started to date Owen. A world were I was happy.
