The Morticians Daughter

Chapter 29

*Raven's POV*

I woke up with a pounding headache and the sound of snores. I sat up and grabbed my head. Fuck, this hurt. I turned to my side and saw Ashley next to me.

I laid back down and tried to shake Ashley awake. "Ashley." I said aloud instead of in a whisper.

"What?" He said, starting to wake up.

"My head hurts. What happened?" I whined, cuddling even closer to him.

"You and CC got high last night. Don't you remember?" Oh fuck. I'm in trouble.

"Yeah. I remember. Is CC mad at me?" I asked, looking up at Ashley but when I saw his disappointed look, I looked away.

"CC isn't mad. I am." Ashley said, brushing the hair out of my face and making me look at him.

"Sorry." I said quietly.

"CC told you that you weren't smoking with him and his friends so you went and got high with someone else. Do you remember that?"

"Yeah. That man was nice." I said, smiling up at him.

"That man is a douche." Ashley said. "Now drink some water." He pointed to a glass of water on the night stand.

I picked the glass up and drank some water than got up and went to CC's room.

"CC." I whined and collapsed on the bed, waking him up.

"What Raven?" He asked, pulling me on top of him. 

I giggled. "Where are my cigarettes?" I asked. "They aren't in my pocket."

"That's because I took them. So Ashley wouldn't have a fit." CC said and handed them back to me.

"He's already having a fit. He's mad at me for getting high without permission." I said sarcastically, rolling my eyes.

"That wasn't okay, Raven." He said sternly.

"Whatever." I said, putting a cigarette in my mouth and lighting it. "Who was that man that I got high with?" I asked, blowing the smoke into CC's face and laughing.

He was super nice and cuddly and I wouldn't mind meeting him again.

"Craig." He said. I sighed.

"Yeah I know that. Who is he though? Do you and dad know him?"

CC nodded. "Yes. We all know him. We used to tour with him and Matt, the other man you met last night. We don't like Craig though."

"Why? He was super nice to me." 

"Just forget it, Raven. I don't want to talk about it." He said. I pouted.

"Can we go back to Matt's house again?"

He shook his head and took the cigarette out of my hand taking a drag of it.

"Why not? I won't smoke again I just wanna see that guy again."

"No, Raven. That's exactly why we aren't going back there." I rolled my eyes and took the cigarette from him.

"Whatever, CC you're no fun." I went on to the roof. The window was already open.

"Raven, I don't like you out there by yourself. You could fall."

"I'm fine." I snapped. I was getting a little mad. I'm spoiled and I'm used to getting what I want.

"Don't get an attitude with me, Raven. You can't always get what you want."

I rolled my eyes then went back inside because it was starting to rain.

"Well I'm just used to it." I said.

I would find a way to get back to that house. I was determined. There was just something about Craig that I liked a lot.

"I know, Rave. You're spoiled rotten and I'm sick of it." He teased, pulling me onto his lap.

"Now go get ready for school. I'll take you." I sighed.

"Fine." I said, getting off his lap and heading to my room.

***

"Okay. No skipping and I'm not picking you up early, okay?" CC said, as he pulled up in front of my school.

"I know." I said with a roll of my eyes, getting out of the car.

"Bye CC, love you." I told him.

"Bye Rave, love you too." He said, quickly and then drove off.

"Rude." I muttered under my breath then walked to the front, sitting down on the bench outside.

I had a plan on getting back to Craig's house. There was just something about that man that I really liked. I don't know why CC and Ashley don't like him. He's perfect.

I pulled my phone out. I can't believe I was doing this.

"Jinxx?" I asked, once he answered.

"Raven, baby. What's wrong?" Jinxx asked. I was still very mad and disgusted with him.

"Nothing. Can you pick me up from school? I need you to take me somewhere."

"But you're supposed to be in school. Why didn't you ask someone else to take you?"

I sighed. "Because no one will let me go. Can you take me, please?"

"Well if you aren't allowed to go, I don't think I should take you."

"You owe me for cheating on Sammi."

I heard him sigh deeply on the other end on the phone. "Fine, Raven I'll be there in a couple minutes." I smiled, I always win.

I quickly hung up the phone and put it in my lap.

now I just wait.

***

I shut the door loudly as I got in the car.

"Hi, Raven." Jinxx said as I got in the car. I didn't answer him. Just because I was getting what I wanted, doesn't mean I wasn't still mad at him.

He sighed. "Raven, are you really mad at me?"

"Yes! Yes I'm mad at you! How could you do that to her? She loves you!" I screamed. Sammi never did anything to him.

"Then how come she's never at home!" He said, slamming on the breaks.

"What do you mean she's never at home?"

"She could be cheating on me too."

"That's bullshit, Jinxx. Sammi would never cheat on you and you know it."

***

"Should I stay here?" Jinxx asked when we pulled up in front of Craig's house. I couldn't control my smile.

"No, no. I'll have him bring me home."

"Who's house are we even at?"

Does he even know who Craig and Matt are? I'll play it safe. "My friend, he goes to my school."

"He." Jinxx said shocked.

"Raven, I don't know if I want to leave you alone at some guys house." I rolled my eyes.

"Jinxx, I'm not a baby. I'll be okay."

"Okay. Just be careful and call me okay? I just wanna make sure you're doing alright."

"Okay fine. Bye." I said and quickly got out of the car.

I waited till Jinxx left and then I knocked on the door.
