Puppy Love~Corey Haim

Chapter 19

*corey's pov*

I was outside waiting for Talya to come back, just sitting outside smoking a cigarette with Big sitting besides me. I was just looking around minding my own business when Matt ran up to me looking angry as ever. I tried to make it look like I never saw him coming and to avoid all confrontation. What would Talya think if she saw us fighting? Again?!

"Corey man, we've gotta talk about something!" He angrily stomped up the stairs to my house, his hair a mess, his eyes darting around wildly, and his words like venom.

"Dude, there's nothing to talk about just go home," I simply said standing up stomping on my cigarette and turning around to walk back inside. We cannot get into a fight.

The words just stay cool repeated in my head over and over again.

"No Corey!" He shrieked spinning me back around by keeping a strong grip on my shoulder, "we're gonna settle this right now."

I knew better than to fall for his trap, so I simply and gently removed his hand from my shoulder, trying to avoid as much contact as possible, and replied calmly with, "Matt, just calm down, okay. I have nothing against you, it's all going to be okay, I won't hurt you, or Talya, or even Grace for that matter. Just please, I'm begging you, leave us alone."

His smug grin appeared on his face again and his eyes lit up as if the devil had possessed him. He licked his lips and shot back, "Don't you get it? You and Talya don't belong together! It won't ever work! You guys have to sneak around just to see each other because she's embarrassed to be seen with you. You're a no good, criminal and her parents, friends, and family don't approve of you. You won't treat her right! You're acting nice because it's the beginning and you want her to fall for your tricks! But I know Corey, I know! I know all about your past, when you burned down your own house, sold and did drugs, I know all about it! And I'm so, so close to telling her everything! You can't stop me Corey you just can't!"

I cut him off clearly angry, "hey! How do you know about that, man? I didn't tell anybody about any of that and you can't tell her!"

"Oh yeah? Well watch me do it!"

"You do it and you're dead, man!"

"You know what? I'll just go right over there and tell her parents! That way she'll be banned from seeing you! But maybe I'll change the story around and maybe I won't! Wouldn't want Talya getting into trouble now would I? Just you Corey, just you." He grinned madly, his eyes peering into my soul. He was trying to make me mad, and it sure as hell was working. The words in my head changed from stay cool to one more word, and he's a dead man.

*Talya's pov*

Grace and I were on our way home and I couldn't wait to see Corey. I've been looking forward to tonight all day and I couldn't possibly wait any longer. We turned the corner to our street and saw two figures in the distance. One being my boyfriend, and the other being Matt.

"Oh shit! Oh shit! Oh shit!" I screamed.

"Oh my god! Talya get out and stop them!" Grace screamed back.

*Corey's pov*

I saw Matt grin widely and then say "Corey you dirty, low-life, piece of--"

My fist made loud, powerful, anger-filled contact with Matt's nose.

The bone crunching sound echoed in the now silent street.

I looked down at my bloody fist in shock and then back at Matt's bloody, broken nose.

Through his yelping because of the pain, Matt smiled at me and said, "I told you're no good," then strutted away in pain back to his house.

I heard crying from behind me. Confused I turned around to see the one and only girl I ever loved standing behind me with a tear streaked face and an expression filled with hurt and shock. Her eyes moved from my equally shocked and hurt face to my bloody fist, and she ran.

Unable to produce any words, I tried to scream, "Talya" to the best of my ability.

She turned around for one last glance and ran inside crying.

I just sat on the steps to my front door, now crying as well covering my face with my bloody hands. I heard footsteps and looked up to see Grace running out of her parked car and over to... Me?
