Never Letting Go - Cody Simpson Fanfic

Chapter 8

We got back to Cody's and he dragged me to his bedroom. I watched as he locked the door behind him. I didn't know what to do. Do I sit? Do I stand? Where do I sit? Where do I stand? Do I speak? Do I wait for him? He still had his back to me. Trying to calm himself down.

"Do you even realize what you did tonight?" He spoke quietly and calmly but didn't turn around. "I didn't plan it. I promise." "You put yourself in so much danger." "I'm sorry." "Don't apologize to me! Apologize to yourself!" He turned and started shouting at me.

"He said he wasn't going to hurt me." "He's not going to say he wanted another feel of you is he?!" "Stop shouting." I whispered. "You're so fucking stupid!" "Cody!" "You are! You put yourself in so much danger. You passed out a week ago because you were frightened of him and then today you go to see him? In the darkness with a loud, distracting party going on just feet away."

"How did you even know I was going to see him?" "So you did plan this?" "No." "I saw his name on your phone. I added it up." "So you did look?" "I saved you! All you care about is me looking at a stupid caller ID?!" "You think you're some kind of superhero, but you're not!" "I promised to protect you!" I felt like breaking down. He called me stupid. That hurt.

"Leave me alone. Don't talk to me. I was beginning to trust you again, you know that?" "So I keep you safe and some how I'm the bad guy?" "Thanks for telling Matt about my lyric book. Thanks for everything." I sighed and went towards the door.

"I'm not done." He roughly grabbed me and pushed me with force. I hit my back and head against the wall. Cody stopped and stared at me. "Are you okay?" He whispered in shock. My eyes quickly formed a glossy layer. "You've done enough." I tried to get out again.

"You don't help yourself, Lauren." "What's that supposed to mean?" "You're about to leave here and walk home alone. There's disgusting people in this world. You're unbelievably beautiful and unbelievably defenceless. Any guy could have you if they wanted you that badly." He had a harsh tone to his voice.

"Sorry for being pretty." "Don't apologize to me." "What do you want me to do? I don't understand what you want from me?!" "You need to realize what you did tonight!" "I know! I get it!" There was a knock on the door. "Stop shouting!" Angie scolded through the door. I opened it and walked past her.

"I've never been more disappointed in you." He watched me walk away. Tears flowed as I left the house. "Lauren, wait!" I heard Brad's voice. I went running to him and fell into his arms. "He hates me. I love him so much!" I cried. "He loves you more than anything in the world. This is his way of protecting you." He assured.

"I'm so sorry." I felt my knees become weak. I was depending on Brad to stay upright. "You don't need to be sorry." "I woke you up." "Cody woke me up." "He was shouting at me." "Let me take you home." He unlocked his car. "I don't want to." I refused.

"I don't know what happened between you and Cody tonight but you need to go home." "It wasn't Cody." "Who was it then?" "Josh. I went to meet Josh." "What?!" He choked on his words. Not believing what I had just said. "Dad, go back to bed." I heard Cody's voice. "I'm taking Lauren home." "No." "Cody, go inside." "She's my problem. Not yours."

"Charming!" I turned to look at him. He sent me a death stare and then looked back at Brad. "I'm dealing with it." He said. "Cod-" "Dad!" "Don't raise your voice at me!" "Go inside!" "You're my son, I tell you what to do and not the other way around!" "Not ton-" "What's going on?" Tom came outside.

"Why is everyone shouting?" "Dad will take you to bed, mate." Cody said. Brad sighed and walked past Cody. I stood by the passengers door of Cody's car and waited for him to unlock it. He did so and I got in.

"Lauren.." Cody whispered softly. I flicked my eyes open and looked at him. I'd fallen asleep. "Where are we?" I looked around. "Coming to find out?" He offered. "You don't know?" He shook his head. "Let's to exploring." He smiled and got out. I followed him. Attached to his side as I checked out my surroundings.
