Never Letting Go - Cody Simpson Fanfic

Chapter 27

"Okay. Now that we're alone." Cody sat down on the bed. "Yeah." "I wanna talk to you." "You need to talk to me." I corrected him. "Yeah. That." He laughed a little. I played with the bow on my underwear as he tried to think of the right words to say. I was in my underwear because I'd started to get ready for tonight.

"I've had something on my mind for a while now. Like a week or two. So it's not really that long but it's kinda a long tim-" "Cody. Get to the point." "We don't talk enough. We talk about small things and the less important things but it's not enough. We don't have the closeness we used to have. We lost that somewhere and I don't know where." He stared at the floor.

"I think I know where." I spoke quietly. "Where?" He turned to look at me. "Jenna.. Carrie.. Madison.." I listed. Cody's face dropped. I think he knew this but he didn't want to admit it. "And there's nothing we can do about it, is there?" "I don't know, Cody." I sighed and laid back on the bed. "I want to fix it. I want to undo it and I want to trust you again. But it's too hard." I covered my face.

Cody crawled up to me and pulled my hands away from my face. "I'm prepared to do anything. And I mean anything to fix this. I know I messed up. I've said it so many times, you've said it so many times and we both know I'm an utter jerk and do not deserve you but I love you and we both know that you love me. I need you and you need me. We can make it through anything." "I know we can and I know all of this. I defiantly know you're a jerk." I smiled which made Cody smile.

"We don't need to spend all day together everyday. Sometimes just a few minutes of talking is all we need. And the attention thing? Talk to me about that." I said and let him pull me up. I had my feet behind him and we sat between each other's legs.

"What attention thing?" "You think that sex is the only way to get my full attention." "Who said that?" "Cody.." I urged. "Fine. It's true. Yes. But it doesn't matter beca-" "No, Cody. It matters very much." "No! Because I don't want it to stop." He said which made me laugh a little. "It needs to have more of a meaning than just "I want Lauren's attention" because that's not healthy."

"I don't know what to do, Lauren. This isn't good." "I know it's not good." "Well then what are we supposed to do?! I mean we're only teenagers and yet we have to deal with these adult problems. It's not fair! We're just kids." He ran his fingers through his hair and searched my eyes with clear frustration.

"Maybe we need a little break?" "No. That's not an option. I don't care what mess we're in, this is our mess and I'm not dumping it." He refused. He gripped my legs tightly and pulled me closer. "I don't know what else to suggest, Cody." "I'm not taking your suggestion. Call me crazy but I'd rather keep it like this than have to be apart." After he said that it went quiet for a little while.

"Come on, special. Get up and get ready." I slapped his cheeks lightly. "Promise me you're not going anywhere." Once again his grip tightened. "Cody, calm down. It's okay." "Promise me, Lauren. Promies me that no matter what happens, we're gonna fight through it and work it out." He looked so scared and desperate. "Please?" He whispered with his forehead resting on mine.

"We've got to go out in twenty minutes. You still need a shower." I reminded him. "Well then say it and I'll move." "I promise that I'm not going anywhere." I whispered. "Say you love me?" "I love you and I always will love you." "I do too." He kissed my lips. "Now go get in the shower and I'll find you something to wear." I let go of him and moved away.

I got out Cody's leather jacket and black jeans whith a white shirt. After I'd laid it out on the bed for Cody I got out a black playsuit for me and then changed into it. "Well aren't we dull tonight." Cody laughed as he came from the bathroom. "I think it's cute that we match." I smiled. "Black and white go with anything." "That's why you normally wear it. Now get changed." I told him and left the room.
