Chapter Nineteen

Claire’s POV-

                I loved the park. It calmed me. After our little mini argument, I felt an array of emotions. Anger, sadness, exasperation, but also…comfort. I had never felt like someone cared about me as much as Cody had. It gave me mixed feelings. Lately, I had been confused about the feelings I had for him. But now I’m pretty sure that I’m falling in love with him. Believe it or not.

                Our argument replayed over and over again in my mind. I hated it. I hated arguing with a person that I cared for. I’m pretty sure Cody did too.

                After applying some powder to my face, putting my jeans on, braiding my hair to the side, and spraying the tiny bottle of perfume I had in my bag on me, I was ready to go. I walked out just as Cody came into his room. He had on a dark pair of jeans with a navy blue t-shirt. I could see the broadness of his upper body through the shirt.

                There was no denying it- Cody WAS hot. I felt inferior every time I thought about him like that. He was practically gorgeous and I was just normal.

                He must have noticed my analysis of him, because he strode over and put his humongous arms around me. “What were you looking at?” He teased.

                “I think you know.” I retorted.

                He smiled. I loved his smile. It lit up the room.

                “You ready?” He asked, still keeping his oversized hands on my waist. They made me look tiny- of course, I’m small anyway.

                “Yeah, but can we stop by my place? I need some more clothing and stuff.” I asked, smiling.

                His face lit up at the thought of me staying over again. “Of course, princess.”

                I loved my nickname, even though it made me feel a little spoiled. But I still loved it.

                After I got my shoes on, we walked hand-in-hand out to his car. He opened the door for me and then jogged around to the other side.

                The drive to my apartment was short. We both got out and walked up to my door. On it was a little white envelope with the name CLAIRE on it.

                I looked to Cody for answers. He just shrugged.

                I opened it. The letter inside said:

Claire,

                   I think you know who gave this to you. Anyways, I just wanted to warn you one last time. Stay away from Cody .He will be mine, and that won’t happen if you’re in the way. Besides, you’re just a charity case. Hopefully you’ll succeed in ending your life, and it won’t end up like last time. Next time, he won’t be there to save you from your pathetic self. Oh, thought no one saw that? Well guess what, they did. It was kinda hard to watch Cody carry you ALL THE WAY home like he did, but I’ll get my turn eventually. Lots of love, Clair-bear!
