Missing Piece [COMPLETED]

Chapter Two

___________________________________

Cody Stanson was looking buddy-buddy with my ex Tim Dantos.

The memories went back to the first day of summer, a few months back, when I was sitting on Tim's lap, both of us laying near my pool.

Tim and I had been dating for 6 months then, yet he was becoming very distant.

I hadn't dated anyone until Tim, and I didn't count the boy in 5th grade who decided to kiss me during recess.

Tim had been my best friend first before dating me. Then we took the risk and got into a relationship. It was weird at first but then we got more comfortable kissing and holding hands. We still acted the same yet it was different, but I thought that was just how relationships went.

Although I started to see a new side of Tim.

On certain days he would tell me to go fetch him food rudely, or to finish his homework for him. He talked down to me, but I didn't really mind it because I knew he loved me. Or so I thought.

Four months in he would put me down, and tell me that I looked like a slob if I decided not to dress up that day. And if I looked nice he told me I was looking slutty.
There was no pleasing Tim.

When I needed someone to talk to he would give me an excuse to say he was too busy and couldn't talk.
I could tell then that my best friend was no longer there.

That day at the pool was the last day. I made up my mind to dump him. I knew I wouldn't be the same without him but it was killing me to stay with him.

"Tim..." I started but he cut me off and pressed his lips to mine. He started biting my lip and it kinda hurt.

"That hurts," I pulled away and slapped him playfully.

"Too bad.." And he went back to my lips and his hand crept near my shorts ever so slightly. I could tell he was getting excited and felt his fingers trying to unbutton my shorts.

"No Tim I told you I'm not ready yet..."

"Well you are today..." He grumbled, being more forceful to the point it was scaring me.

"TIM! STOP!"

But he was stronger than me, I could feel his hot breath pour onto my skin. I started shaking, and could feel the tears burning my face.

Why? Why is this happening? Tim was my friend.

The tears were streaming, and I started yelling, but to no avail because Tim covered my mouth with his hand.

His sweaty, dirty hand.

All my feelings of love and respect for Tim went out the window, all I wanted now was for the pain to stop. For Tim to get off me. And then for him to go bury himself in a hole and die.

I finally snapped out of my nightmare. And my eyes saw the photo again...

Did Cody know?? My mind filled with questions and I could feel myself turning red from the pent up anger.

I needed to know what Cody knew. And make sure he'd never find out.

----------------------

I trudged through the hallway, not a single friendly face to say hi to or talk about my day.

Then, out of the corner of my eye I caught Cody standing with his usual entourage circling him like a bunch of vultures.

Cody was obviously telling a funny story the way his eyes widened, and used his hands in large gestures. I smiled, he looked so content with high school. I remembered that he was my age, even though he wasn't in my grade.

Without thinking I started edging closer to his group, and pretended to read a notice pinned to a board on the wall. I hoped secretly he'd come over and say Hi.

I started feeling disheartened as I heard no one call my name until I heard a "Hey El!" pipe up from behind me.

My breath caught in my throat, no one had called me El since I was little. Did he remember that?

I turned my gaze to meet the beautiful olive eyes and that crooked but perfect smile, only to my surprise it wasn't Cody.
It was someone I didn't expect to see.

Her name was Alyssa Kingsley. She had long brown hair, big doe eyes and a petite stature. She went to my elementary school with me, and although we weren't close friends I recognized her and was glad she was there.

"Hey Alyssa, what're you doing here?"

"I'm transferring here, for my senior year." She replied with a cute smile.

My mind breathed a sigh of relief. I felt like maybe I finally had someone to talk to during the school day. And that senior year would not totally suck.

"Ill show you around then," and walked her towards the science building.

As we were leaving the building there was a crowd forming in the parking lot. Surprised, Alyssa and I walked over to see what the commotion was about.

Then I realized, it was Cody. Somehow he went from pompous comedian to pompous jerk in a matter of minutes, he was fighting with another kid, he looked younger, like a freshmen.

I knew I had to stop him. But why did I have to? I wanted to mentally face-palm myself for my stupid thinking. Before my mind came to its senses my body hopped into the circle and started pulling Cody away. Suddenly a an elbow came out of nowhere and everything went black.
