Nutshell

Chapter 17

Corey's P.O.V.

"What the hell are you doing here?" I am furious, I don't want to deal with her right now.  My girlfriend needs me right now and this tramp is stopping me from getting there.

"Oh, baby relax, I am here for Marcy not you."  Her voice is so annoying!

"I gotta go, my girlfriend needs me."  I ran out the door and to my car.  I could not get to her fast enough, I not only miss my Angelface I know she needs me.  She deserves the perect life and that is what I will give her.

Amanda's P.O.V.

Getting kicked out for something my parents were fine with the first time really sucks.  I understand I lied but I really was staying at Marcy's house just wasn't staying for her.  My mom just isn't happy that I refuse to stay with Corey and not be begging for Robby back.

As if all this wasn't enough stress, as I am sitting on my porch with my seven boxes, Robby comes walking up the porch stairs. 

"Well, well, well, look here the little princess is not so perfect now is she."  He is such a jerk.

I don't reply I just pull out my phone and text Corey.

Where u @ babe?

He doesn't reply back before I see him pull up.  Robby is still standing in front of me so I make a smirk and reply.  "Now that there" pointing to Corey's car "is a real boyfriend, comes running at my call and doesn't answer to my mom."  I pick up my boxes and start carrying them to his car as he pops open the trunk.

When we get to Corey's house I see a car I don't recognize.  I don't question thinking it is one of Marcy's friends.  When I walk in the Stacy comes running up to Corey and wraps her arms around him.  I try not to get defensive, maybe they are good friends but I don't like her.  She dated my older brother and like five other guys at the same time.  I notice Corey push her to the side and I have to laugh.

"Mandy, lets go up to my room, my parents aren't home yet, so we will talk to them at dinner."  He grabs my hand and we walk up to the stairs.

"You going to tell me what that was all about, or are you going to make me draw my own conclusions?"  I am getting jealous by the whole deal and the fact he didn't say anything when he pushed her away kind of hurt.  "Is this how you are?  You act like we are perfect pick me up and bring me to your place with everyone gone besides Stacy and you and not explain anything after she hugs you?"

"I know I need to explain everything.  I just want to make sure you are okay first." 

"I was till we got here.  I feel so safe with you till I see this. Just tell me what is going on!"  I am yelling now, I am so frustrated.

"Okay, babe, I will start with the beginning.  I met her at a party a while back, she used to text and call me all the time.  I started dating you until today.  I didn't reply I just deleted the text and I blocked her number after that.  I walk downstairs to get you and she was down there.  I swear I don't like her, don't want her here and don't know why she is."  He has his voice calm and even.

I am crying and go to talk to him but have trouble controlling the volume of my voice.  "You think I can just believe this when I see her hug you as soon as you walk through that door?  How did she get in if you didn't let her in?"  I am just so confused and want to believe him, but how do I let people in when everyone who I thought I could trust my life to?

"Please, just stop yelling."  His voice is starting to raise.

"Why! Why does it matter?!"  

"Because I love you!"  What? Did he just say he loves me?  I start crying harder I have wanted to say those words to him so bad.

"Corey I love you too!"  I run to him and kiss him with tears running down my cheeks.
