+×* High Hopes*×+

You wiped your face and looked up. But Cody wasn't there. You saw a whisk of green hair and a accented voice whisper,
"First Dark, and now this guy? Heh."
Then Anti dissapeared and it was back to normal. The sun was setting, sending beautiful colored shadows across the water. You just stared at the water, feeling Cody staring at you.
"I'm sorry you had to find out this way.." He mumbled, looking down.
"At Least you told me..." You whispered, pulling your knees to your chest. You heard rocks shift and an arm wrap around your shoulder, pressing you against a warm body.
"Why did she..?" You glanced up at Cody.
"She thought Jason was cheating on her, and her brother and dad.. She just couldn't handle it anymore.."
You felt your body shaking
How could you not have noticed before? She always acted fine... Acted. Like you.
You breathed in.
"Was Jason really cheating on her?"
Cody shook his head.
"Why would he? Jason loved Ocean with all his heart.. And then you left him, too.. He just fell apart. He stopped coming to school, talking to anyone, and anyone barely saw him. It was to the point where people thought he was suicidal.. But I guess he pulled out.." Cody whispered.
"He never loved Ocean.." You growled.
"What?"
"I promised I wouldn't tell anyone.." You began crying a little bit, the tears stinging at your eyes.
"He was cheating on her.. With Faith.. I walked in on them one day, and I swore I wouldn't tell anyone.. God, why am I so stupid? I should've told Ocean.. I should've.." Your voice trailed off as you buried your face in your knees, crying again.
"It wasn't your fault, Y/n.." Cody wrapped his other arm around you and hugged you, not letting go.
"It shouldve been Jason.."
You whispered, standing.
"I'll see you later.."
You grabbed your phone and started heading back.

Walking through the door, you saw a Dark sitting at the table, glaring slightly at you.
"Sorry.." You mumbled and headed up to your room. You laid down on your bed and curled into a ball, closing your eyes.
You shouldn't have.

Your eyes snapped open. You were starring at a dark forest floor. Once your eyes adjusted against the darkness, you looked up. You froze. There, hanging on the wall by chains, was Cody. His head was hanging, bleeding out from many, many cuts all over his body. You heard him groan in agony and a giggle.
"Now, I couldn't hurt Dark, but this one here.. He was weak."
Anti smiled with pride.
"And since it would hurt you if I just killed him now, I'll do what Dark did to you.."
Anti walked up to Cody, a knife in his hand. He picked up Cody's right arm and sliced across it. His head snapped up as he yelled with pain. Your hands shook.
"I'm just going to slowly drive him into insanity."
Anti giggled once more.
You got up.
You walked past Anti and looked up at Cody, pain stinging you. He was shaking with pain.
"I'm sorry.." You whispered.
Cody opened his mouth to say something, but you heard a growl.
Then you were awake. Not in your bed, but on the floor. You heard your door creak open, and Dark was in the doorway.
"Are you okay?" He helped you up.
"No..." You mumbled.
Dark sighed.
"Is it Anti?"
"Yes..He just won't fucking stop.."You looked up at him.
"Well, just try to ignore it. If it gets too out of hand.. Then tell me. You'll kill yourself if you stand up to him."
You sat down on your bed again.
"You're right, I guess.."
"Now, it's three in the morning. Get some sleep before you become cranky all day." Dark chuckled and kissed you on the forehead before heading out of your room and closed the door.
Not so long after, you heard a sharp tapping on the window. Assuming it was Anti, you just laid back and closed your eyes. You squeezed them shut as you heard the window creak open and something thump onto the floor. You heard a groan and quickly got up, seeing a blood-covered Cody on the floor.  He looked up at you and smiled. You slipped off the edge of the bed and sat on your knees above him.
"Are you okay?" He mumbled.
"The question is are you okay?" Your eyes widened as you looked at him. He was covered in bruises and a few cuts here and there.
"In my dream.. A guy was cutting you open.. And then he told me to stay away from you.."
You winced as you saw tears in his eyes.
"I thought he killed you.."
You bent down and wrapped your arms around him.
"The same thing happened with me.. He had to chained up and beaten.."
Cody breathed in and sat up.
"Well, I'm going to be dammed if I let him keep me away from you."
You sighed.
"Before you do anything, Let me clean you up." You stood and headed to the bathroom. Grabbing a washcloth,gauze, and the bottle of peroxide, you came back in. You knelt down and covered the washcloth, pressing it onto the deep cut down his right arm. He winced. You dabbed some more here and there, and wiped the blood off. You wrapped his arm in gauze.
"There." You sighed. Cody smiled.
"Thank you. But what about you?" You gaze him a confused look. He pointed to your right arm. It was covered in blood. You gasped. You didn't even notice,you were so worried about Cody.
"Here." Cody gently lifted your arm and cleaned it, wrapping gauze around it aswell.
"Can I stay here..? My brother is drunk again.." Cody sighed.
"Of course you can."
Cody chuckled and grabbed you in a hug, pulling you onto the floor. You laughed and snuggled into him.

You yawned and opened your eyes. You blushed and quickly rolled off of Cody.
"Jesus.. What.." You cut yourself off as you winced, your arm throbbing. You looked down and saw it wrapped all the way around the center of your right arm. You sighed and the memories flooded back.
"Dammit, Anti.." You mumbled as you glanced down at Cody. He kept whimpering and twitching, but there were no fresh cuts or anything on him. You stood up and threw your blanket over him. You walked to your closet and closed the door behind you. "I should avoid Dark a much as possible.. Or atleast until Cody leaves.." You mumbled to yourself as you searched through your shirts. You grabbed a t-shirt that had Three Days Grace and the band's symbol on it. You grabbed a pair of black jeans and slipped them on. Starring at the rips, you realized it was an old pair of Anti's. You sighed and came back out, Cody still on the floor sleeping. You quietly and quickly brushed out your hair and sat back on your knees next to Cody again. He kept twitching more often. You wondered if you should wake him up. As you reached a hand down to shake him, you froze as he mumbled something. You leaned closer to listen.
"Who the hell even are you? .... Be dammed if I..... You won't hurt her.... You FUCKING--" Cody suddenly jolted awake, smacking you in the face. He looked around wildly. You swore and covered your nose, feeling blood trickle.
"Jesus! Are you okay?! I didn't mean to hit you!" Cody grabbed your hands away and looked at your nose. You looked away.
"It's alright.. I'm fine.."
You wiped the blood away, sighing.
"But are you okay? You were screaming in your sleep..." You asked, covering your face as more blood poured out.
Cody shook his head and said,
"That dude keeps torturing you in my dreams.."
"His name is Anti." You mumbled.
"What?" Cody's head shot up.
"How do you know him?!"
You just shook your head and looked away.
You felt Cody's gaze burning into you. You glanced back up a him.
But he was gone. You sighed and stood, slamming the window shut.
"Dammit!" You hollered. You didn't care who heard at this point. Anti was pulling your life apart.. when he was a part of building it up. You grabbed your phone and sleceted a contact.
Anti💚🖤🖕💔:
What?

How did he..?

Why? Anti, just why? You broke me down when you're the one who helped build me up. Just... You're taking all the people I love slowly away from me. And for what? Your sick pleasure? YOU were the one who ended it. And then you wanted to kill me just like that? Was there even love there? Or was I just there as I toy, Anti? Hm?!

T y p i n g . . .

Anti;
I was trying to make you happy, Y/n. You said you wanted to end it, so I tried. I'm sorry. I'm just jealous that you moved on so quickly.. right after... I'm sorry.

Don't get your hopes too high, Y/n.
Dark's deep voice growled in your head.

Can we talk, like?

I'm on my way.

You sighed and set your phone down.
This should be fun.
But..
Are my hopes too high?

Have to have high, high hopes for a living! 🖤-*
