Who Am I

Chapter 2

A/N
Photo is of Brittney before she died her hair to a brown blond colour.

"Come out with me tonight" Brittany begs. It has been two weeks since the accident. I still cannot believe it happened. I miss them all like crazy. "Please Mathews having a party and all the Clinton boys will be there!"
"Okay Britz, I guess it won't hurt" I attempted to smile at her.

"Hey Line".
"Oh uhmm hey Matzie". Matt and I use to be pretty close actually, well we still are close but something has changed. We talk but not as much as we use to. I still refere to him as one of my best mates. We would spend every weekend ans holiday together, camping or ridding or swimming. He use to pretend to be spiderman. He'd dress up, mask, shoes, cloves and all. We'd go climb rocks and trees and all and pretend to save each other, until one day, he actually did save me. I was being bullied by one of his friends and she pushed out of the tree. Matt caught me and then told her off. From that day on Matt was my super hero and I found myself very fond of him, as a friend. But Matzie and I grew apart when we started high school.
"Are you coming to my party?" He asked sheepishly.
"I guess so". I glimpsed up at the top of the stairs and saw what looked to be my brother and Marley kissing.
"I would really like it if you'd...".
"Sorry but I have to go". I blurted out and ran up to where I saw them. But when I got there, nothing, no one in site.

Knock knock. "Hurry up and open the daym door women?"
"Sorry I was.."
"Look at you! You're mother would be so proud right now".
"Uhmm is Marley coming?" I really needed to know if it was them.
"Yeah, course, always!" We then went to the hang out and had our girly conversation on Britz and her last hook up and what Matt was going to say. Brittney is the, how do i put this, the slut of our little trio. She's average height. Longish browny, blonde hair. Skinny. Very popular with the boys. She was the first to lose her v-card. Actually I'm pretty sure she's the only one. Marley doesn't talk about that kind of stuff. She's very outgoing. Loud and bold is our Britz. She has guys falling at her feet but to be honest she's not the prettiest girl I know. But she is my Brittney and I'd be lost without her.

"Let's go girlies" Lee called from down stairs. Britz and I ran down to her.
"Your father rung again Cas".
"I'll call him later". I didn't want to talk to him. He's rung every night since the accident. Lailah, my mum's little sister who is 24, two years older than Rye, has been staying with me. I said goodbye to her and walked out.
"Wait, Cas. Where's my invite?" Lailah called. We just laughed at her. we drove around and around the block before we could find are parking spot. When we walked through the front door, we could hardly hear anything. I could see three guys standing around a table. One is tall, buff, tanned, dark hair, wearing a tux. The middle guy is a scrawny, white, ranga witha skinny burnett behind him. The last guy. He was tall, buff, toned, handsome, blond with hair perfectly done. He was wearing black chinos and a nice blue shirt. his shirt was tight so it showed off his muscle. The burnett turned around and looked at me then said something to this handsome man. Next thing I knew there he was, standing right in front of me. He walked me to dance. I could feel my phone ringing but I decided to ignore it and keep dancing.
Matt's mouth came right next to my ear. I could feel his warm breath on me.
"Nice to see you made it, Line". I smiled. I then felt his hand move down my back. He grabbed my arse. I tensed. "Hey, its okay. I promise I won't hurt you". Matts sexy deep voice relaxed me. My phone buzzed again. Matt grabbed it and answered it. "Hello". Matt paused. "It's Ryder". He said concerned. I took the phone. I could hear his faint words.
" C.C, hospital now" in that moment I ran. I called the girls neither answered so instead I just ran 10kms to the hospital.
"Cas, you here already" lailah words sting a little.
"Course. Where's Rye?" On cue he walked over to me.
"Let's go kid" I followed Ruder into the room. "Papa is not doing very well. He will not eat. He asked me to get you so he could say goodbye. I'm sorry". Not my Papa. Why tonight? Why the one night I was doing something? "Caroline, its his choice" I walked into papa's room and sat with him.
"C.C, my baby girl. Promise me to never give to much of yourself away!"
"I promise Papa".
"I love you kid, always have, alawys will!"
"Love you too Papa". I walked over and kissed his forehead before leaving. "Goodbye".
I went and sat with Sammie. She looked so dead in her bed. Her eyes shut, hair everywhere. I saw the chunk taken out of her face. It was like she had no cheek. She was missing her ear and some teeth. She was so pail. It's not her, not Sammie!! I sat there for an hour or two, before going back to the party.
"Hey stranger" a hand grabbed mine. "I missed you". I spun around to see a handsome white guy. He went to kiss me when I realised it was Billy. I pushed him and he hit the table. I ran but he and his 'possy' caught me. "Where yah going?" I kicked him
Marcus, one of his friends, grabbed my arms and pulled me off the ground. Billy punched me. Not once, not twice but five solid punches in my stomach and two in my face. Mr tux from earlier. Punched Billy. Marcus dropped me.
"Run" he screamed. I didn't move. There was a dog pile. Tux at the bottom. All matts friends jumped in. I remember a bottle bring smashed. I pushed tux out of the way.

"Good morning" an unfamiliar voice said. I shook my head.
"Where am I?"
"Hospital" my eyes widened. " I told you to run". I could feel the tension and anger in his voice.
"Sorry" I mumbled. "Anyway who are you?"
"Corey's the name" he winked. He's not bad looking. "He got you with the bottle. How do you know the Browning's?"
"Uhmm I dated Billy" I am now not liking this Corey fella.
"Oh. They're trouble you should know that". What are you my father or something? I rolled my eyes.
"You are free to go Caroline". The nurse called. She's the nurse that helps with Sammie and Joel.
"Caroline. Pretty name. I think this is a coincidence, don't you?". Corry said them left. What does he mean by that? I decided to ignore it and go home.
