Swan Song (A Cody Carson Fanfiction)(Completed)

Swan Song - Chapter 29

The drive home is a bust. If it wasn't for me dressing the way I did then this wouldn't have happened. During the ride I've been telling everyone countless times that they could have stayed and didn't have to stop having fun because of me but they insisted.

It was fun, the most fun I've had in a while and it sucks having it end that way. But it did have a bright side I guess, like the way Cody defended me. I've never seen him that angry before, he looked like he was going to rip that guy's head off. But then again, not the way I would have hoped he would defend me.

I don't know how many times I've said sorry to everyone, I seem to be a broken record at this point. As the road zooms by and silence fills the air, I say the same words for the hundredth time.

"Guys, I'm-"

"Alice I swear to god if I hear the words 'sorry' one more time I'm hitting you."

I quickly shut my mouth, pressing it into a thin line as Cali's voice breaks the silence.

"You did nothing wrong, he was the asshole who couldn't keep his dick in his pants. I should have socked him in the jaw."

Zach looks at Cali through the rear view mirror.

"And you probably would have if Maxx wasn't holding you back."

I can hear Cali playfully hit Maxx as he grunts.

"Yeah, thanks for that babe. I and Cody could have double teamed the douche."

"Hey, as much as I would have loved to see that, I was worried you would get hurt. I can't have that happen."

A smile dances on my lips but I can't seem to do it. I'm happy they care for me like that, I guess I can't get the guy out of my head to show my appreciation to them. I still feel his hands on me, his voice just replaying over and over in my head that I just can't think straight. It makes me feel sick to my stomach.

I wrap Cody's jacket tight around my chest, to feel protected in a way.

After what seems like forever, I finally get home. Even though I had a lot of fun, I just want this night to end as soon as possible. I say my goodbyes and hop out of the van, not even waiting for Cody.

"Alice wait let me walk you up."

I hear his feet get closer and closer until I feel his hand on my back. His touch made my skin jump, flinch almost. I send a small faint smile his way, my arms crossed around my chest, closed off.

We both make our way up the stairs, the silence making things more awkward. My legs trudge up the stairs, just begging to sit down and go to bed.

Finally, we get to my door and I let out a long heavy sigh, my body feeling as if it got lighter.

"Thanks, for today. It was amazing."

Cody sends a small smile my way, his lip ring tilting ever so slightly.

"I'm glad you enjoyed today. Even after what happened."

I nod, pressing my lips together, trying my best not to have tears stream my face.

After what happened I've been trying so hard not to just burst. Being touched and talked to like that was gut wrenching, it almost made me vomit a little. I wish I never went, even though it was maybe the best night of my life. Or I wish I never dressed the way I did.

I look down, not wanting Cody to see my eyes get glossy.

"Yeah about that I'm sorry you had to defend me like that."
