Forbidden Love (An Original Story)

The Fight

Chapter 6- The Fight

---Rachel's P.O.V.---

I woke up at 7:30 and got up to get ready for school. I felt like crap, my side was throbbing and my arm felt like it was being sawed through right now. I realized I left my purse downstairs last night and I needed to go down there to get it. I tried to sneak down to the entry way but of course dad was asleep on the couch and heard me. He sat up "What the hell? You went to the hospital last night?" He asked. I just looked away "You little bitch! What did skaterboy take you?" He said walking over to me. I still just ignored him but he had the steps blocked so I couldn't go upstairs "You aren't going to school today" he said "What?! They're gonna wonder why I'm not there" I said "We'll just tell them you had a cold. Now give me your phone, I don't want you talking to skaterboy" he said. I knew there was no fighting about it so I just handed it over and went upstairs. Well I guess the upside is I get a day off without having to walk around school and stuff with this rib killing me and arm throbbing. But I do miss seeing Drew and I have no way to text him now. I went through my purse to see if I could at least find my iPod and that's when I found the pain killers. I got a horrible twist on my stomach just looking at them. I grabbed them and threw them over to my dresser. I found my iPod and put in my headphones blasting Heart shaped box by Nirvana. "I'm going to work and won't be back till 7:00, don't try any shit or I'll do it again!" Dad yelled through my door and I heard his footsteps go down the hall. I figured I might as well go back to sleep.

---A few hours later---

I woke up to someone shaking me "Rachel! Are you ok?" I opened my eyes quickly because it scared me. I found Drew leaning over me with huge eyes "Yes!" I said and started giggling. "Why are you laughing?" He asked starting to laugh "I don't know, just your face" I laughed "Whatever" he said still laughing "Why aren't you at school?" He continued "My dad told me not to go today and he took my phone cuz he said he didn't want me texting you" I said "Oh, I'm sorry" he said. "Why aren't you at school?" I asked "I ditched, I was worried and wanted to be with you" he said "Thanks" I smiled "Of course" he said leaning over me to kiss me. I let out a whimper from him bumping my arm "If it still hurts like that you need to take your pain meds" Drew said "I already did" I lied. He walked over to the bottle on my dresser "You're lying Rachel, the seal is still on the bottle" he said. He sat next to me with the bottle in his hands "I guess I was just so stressed I thought I took them" I chuckled trying to play it off "Rachel, you know you can tell me anything. What are you not telling me?" He said "Nothing" I said "Whatever, I guess you'll tell me when you're ready. But you know I'll always be here and ready to listen or help you" he said "I know" I sighed. Then I noticed a bruise starting to form on his face "What happened?" I asked him touching the bruise "The stupid football players again" he said "Thats why you're not in school isn't it?" I asked and he nodded "Yeah. Principal sent me home today and gave me after school detention tomorrow" he said "God, is it ever going to stop? Are we ever going to catch a break?!" I said "I know, everything seems bad right now but it'll get better" he said "Wait why'd they send you home if they did it? You got 'em too didn't you?" I smirked "Well hell yeah! I'm not just going to let them beat me up" he said "Thats my guy" I smiled and kissed his bruise. "So how long is your dad gone?" He asked "Till 7, why?" I asked "You mind if I stay till then?" He asked "Thats a stupid question" I smiled and he chuckled. "I'm gonna try to take a shower real quick. Just watch TV or whatever, moms passed out as usual so don't worry about her" I said "I know, that's how I got in. She was half loopy when she came to the door and she just said 'Are you here for Rachel?' And when I said yeah she let me inside and basically just fell over onto the couch and started snoring again. But she had a cigarette in her hand so I put it out" he said "Thanks" I said "No problem" he answered. I grabbed a pair of old ripped jeans, my old Anthrax shirt and my underwear, bra etc. and went into the bathroom. I unwrapped my wrap and just decided on a bath so my cast wouldn't get wet. After washing I got dressed, pulled my hair into a messy bun and went back to my room. I found Drew still laying on my bed watching TV "Hey can you help me with this wrap?" I asked him "Yeah sure" he said. I took my shirt off so he could wrap it. He started wrapping it and I handed him the clips as he needed them. When he put on the last clip I reached for my shirt with my good arm but he stopped me by grabbing it. He started kissing me down my neck then down my shoulders and down my arm. I couldn't help but moan slightly but then I came back to the real world "Drew, no. Stop" I said "Ok. I'm sorry, I just-" I cut him off "It's ok, Just help me with my shirt please" I said "Yeah" he replied. I put my cast through the arm hole and slid it the rest of the way on. I just sat next to him and we sat silently watching TV. I was getting restless and couldn't really sit still from the pain and I guess Drew could tell "Just take the meds" he said "No" I said. We just sat for a few minutes "Rachel....I saw your file" Drew said with a sigh "YOU WHAT?!" I yelled now "I'm sorry-" I stopped him "THAT WAS MY PRIVATE FILE DREW!" I yelled "WELL YOU WON'T TEll ME ANYTHING!" he yelled "I'VE ONLY KNOWN YOU WHAT? A WEEK! I'VE ALREADY TOLD YOU A LOT FOR A GUY I JUST MET!" I yelled "A GUY YOU JUST MET?! SO I'M NOT YOUR BOYFRIEND ANYMORE?! RACHEL LOOK AT WHAT I'VE DONE FOR YOU ALREADY! I HAVE TO GET IN FIGHTS WITH F**CKING FOOTBALL PLAYERS EVERYDAY BECAUSE I WANT TO BE BY YOUR SIDE! I SNEAK IN YOUR F**KING WINDOW RISKING BEING CAUGHT BY YOUR DAD EVERY NIGHT JUST TO CHECK ON YOU" he yelled and I started to cry. "Well if that's what being with me does to you and it's such a problem then maybe you just need to stay away from me" I said crying and looking away from him "No, Rachel. That's not what I meant I-" I stopped him "Just get out Drew" I said. He sighed and stood up "Fine" he said and walked out my door. I burst into sobs 'did I really just push the only one I love away?' I thought.

---Drew's P.O.V.---

I walked out to my car and got in but didn't start the engine. I can't believe what just happened. Rachel totally overreacted, but maybe I shouldn't have looked in her file or said what I said....I don't know. I knew the only thing to do to get my mind off of this right now is what always relieves me.....Skateboarding. I turned the car on and headed to the park. As I pulled up all the guys came rushing up to me "Hey Man! Where ya been?" Drake asked "Hey Sorry been busy. Listen I haven't really had a good day so I just kinda wanna be alone right now" I said "Ok, I understand. I'll talk to ya later man" he said "See ya" I said walking over to the empty bowl most of us used when we wanted to be alone. I skated for a while but then got sick of the bowl. I grabbed my board and decided to skateboard on the trail through the park. I was skating through the park when the fight just started replaying in my head. I couldn't take it knowing that she's mad at me or possibly hates me right now, she hates me right?. I stopped and thought of the things I said to her and I hated myself right now. I screamed and threw my board at a tree. I crashed down sitting in front of a tree and just put my head in my hands. I thought of how I felt when people hurt her or broke her heart and did I just do that?. I felt my eyes getting watery and a tear slide down my face. I wiped my face 'Oh my god is that a tear?' I thought. I haven't cried in...well years. Anyway after I calmed down I got up and went to grab my board. When I reached for it I found that it was broken in half "Just great" I mumbled. Looks like I'm walking back to the car, at least it wasn't my favorite board. I got in my car and headed home just hoping that Rachel would be at school tomorrow.

---Rachel's P.O.V.---

I just laid on my bed crying. Maybe I shouldn't have went off on Drew like that. He is right, there is a lot I haven't told him and with all he's doing for me he does have the right to know. But I'm sure there's things he hasn't told me either. I know nothing about his parents and they obviously don't care if he's out all night so. Maybe I really should talk to him tomorrow, I just hope dad lets me go to school. After stopping crying and realizing I would just deal with it all tomorrow I drifted to sleep.
