Rock Angel: A Degrassi Fan Fiction {Owen Milligan}

Chapter 3: My Little Rebellion

KEIRSON P.O.V

I wake to the sound of my door being knocked on. I open it slightly and am relieved to see Clare standing there. She informs me that breakfast is ready and I need to hurry.

Crap I forgot that my alarm is on my phone! I quickly change my clothes and pull on blue jeans and a plain black t-shirt and my black converse. Then remembering the bruises on my wrist I pull on a gray hoodie. I throw my hair up in a messy bun and put on eyeliner on. I had just finished getting ready when I hesitantly turned my phone back on. I had two messages from Blake and one from an unknown number. I read the ones from Blake first fearing what they would say.

I'll see you in the morning Keirssy I'm taking you to school.

Don't make me hurt you tomorrow. I don't like hurting you Keirssy.

I rolled my eyes and checked my other message.

Hey Rock Angel! This is Owen by the way :)

I smiled and saved his number I'd completely forgotten that I had given him my number. I stashed my phone in a secret compartment of my backpack and made my way downstairs. I spot Clare grabbing a granola bar and ask her to throw me one. While we're eating I inform her that I already have a ride. "With whom?" Clare asked as her eyes sparkled with interest. "My boyfriend from the states moved here and he's going to start taking me to and from school." I respond managing not to sound upset or cry. "Ooh he just couldn't stay away could he?" Clare laughed. "You've got that right." I say seriously. "Well I'm going to head to school I think your ride is here anyways, see you later Keirson." Clare says as she starts gathering up her things and walking out of the door. I open the refrigerator and grab a water bottle and sigh as I grab my bag and go outside to meet Blake.

I climb in the passengers seat and put my seatbelt on. "What no kiss?" Blake asks me. I lean across and give him a peck on the lips, silently wishing that corporation would save me from anymore abuse. As I pull away Blake grabs me by the hair and growls. "I wasn't finished Keirssy!" He says still growling. He crashes his lips unto mine roughly and shoves his tongue in my mouth. I kiss him back and pretend that he's the same guy grin the beginning of our relationship who treated me like a princess. When the kiss ends I'm bear tears and Blake is still pulling my hair. I hold my tears back and look at my lap. "See what you make me do to you Keirson? Why can't you just listen?" He asks me tightening his grip on my hair before letting me go. I fix my bun and quickly wipe away the moisture from my eyes. The car ride to Degrassi is silent but I still have time to spare so Blake makes me sit in his lap until it's time to go in. I comply but on the inside I'm angry, no screw angry I'm livid. When the warning bell sounds off I climb back into the passenger's side and grab my water and my backpack. Before I exit the car I give Blake a kiss even though I wish it was somebody else. I fast walk across the parking lot and into the school as fast as I can and head to Mr. Perino's class. I bump into Owen on the way and he grins at me and says "Hey Rock Angel." I feel my heart flutter. "Hey Owen." I say softly. "Do you not like that nickname cause I can stop calling you that?" Owen says quickly. "No it's okay I like it." I say with a giggle. I know I shouldn't be talking to him but it just feels so damn right and Blake isn't here to monitor me! "Do you want to have lunch with me again?" He asks looking at me hopefully. "Sure but do you mind if we grab lunch from the cafeteria?" I say in response. "Uh sure but can we eat outside on football bleachers?" He says looking just a little confused. "That sounds awesome Owen." I say with a big smile. We part ways and go to class after having our lunch plans secured. I know I'm putting him in danger by talking to him but school is the only place I can talk to him. Why does he make my stomach flutter so much? I mean I just met him yesterday!

OWEN P.O.V

I sit in my first class and think about this morning when Clare told me that Keirson was driven to school by her boyfriend from the states. But I remember the fear that flashed through her gorgeous green eyes yesterday when she talked about him. The same fear that flashed when she asked if we could have lunch at the school instead of going to the Dot. So what is going on with this beautiful girl? I'll have to find out.

My classes seemed to drag today as I couldn't take my mind off of Keirson. Something about her makes me want to protect her from the world. But finally the bell that signals lunch time sounded off and I hurried to find my little Rock Angel.

KEIRSON P. O.V

I waited in front of the cafeteria for him. When he got there we hopped in line and grabbed salads because the plastic containers make it easier to go outside with. We walked to the empty football field and had a seat on the metal bleachers. As we ate we talked about our favorite movies. Turns out both of us love the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Every day for three weeks this is my routine. Wake up, get dressed, eat, get a ride to school with Blake, come to school, learn, have my rebellious lunches with Owen, learn some more and go home with Blake. By now Owen knows I have a boyfriend but we never talk about him. I've made the subject taboo and that only raises more questions. The hard part of my whole routine is that every lunch I have with Owen I feel myself falling a little more each time. Today is Tuesday . Owen and I are on our way to our lunch spot when halfway across the football field he asks about Blake. "Why do you never talk about your boyfriend?" I didn't answer I just kept walking and sat on the bleachers. "Keirson please answer me. I know you have a boyfriend but you never say one word about him and it's really confusing because... ugh never mind!" Owen says with frustration as he goes to turn around. I quickly grab his arm and pull him towards me. He lands an inch in front of me. "I'll tell you everything you want to know if you finish that sentence." I whispering softly. At first I didn't think he heard me and then he grabs either side of my face softly and tilts my head up. "It's really confusing Rock Angel because I'm steering to fall for you and every time I start to think you feel the same I remember that you have a boyfriend who isn't me." Owen says while looking me in the eyes. "I do feel the same Owen it's just that--" I didn't get to finish my sentence because Owen kissed me. I kissed him back without a second thought and unlike the kisses I share with Blake it's gentle and passionate and everything I want it to be. The kiss only lasts about five minutes but by the end of it both of us are breathing hard and holding on to each other for dear life and our plastic salad containers lie forgotten on the ground. Owen starts to wipe away tears that I didn't notice were falling and we sit down and I tell him everything.

OWEN P.O.V

I sit silently and listen to Keirson's story. She met Blake at a party and at first wanted nothing to do with him because he was a known gang member. But he charmed her and they started dating. In the beginning she says he treated her like a princess and then a three months later he slowly got more possessive and controlling. On their fourth month anniversary they went out on a date and he thought she was texting another guy in all reality she was texting her sister. Once she showed him her phone he was already convinced that she deleted the messages and they left. And in the car ride home he slapped her across the face. He promised he'd never do it again but sure enough starting hurting her more and more and tried to convince her that it was her fault. By that time she was scared to leave him so she just kept hoping that he'd leave her or he'd turn into the guy she knew at the beginning. Alas neither happened and she purposely let her mom see a bruise on her side and her mom sent her here. But he followed her and threatened to hurt me and Clare. She even took off her hoodie and showed me bruises on her arms and wrists. By the time she was done she was hysterical. I wrapped my arms around her let her cry. But I was pissed. This guy had a chance to be with her and he beats her?! What in the actual hell? My warning alarm went off and we walked towards the school. Keirson was still trying to stop crying so I carried her hoodie with one arm and had my other around her shoulders trying top comfort her. We stop by the entrance and she wipes her face and puts her hoodie back on. She goes to grab the door handle but I steal another kiss before we have to go back inside. "Out here you don't have a boyfriend. I'll find a way to rescue you Rock Angel, believe that." I whisper after we're fine kissing. Then we walk back into the school like nothing happened.
