She Is Home To You, But Everything To Me

Chapter 8

*Corey's POV*

"No. I already know that she's the reason why you don't care about me anymore." Raven said before walking out the door.

She didn't give me time to say anything back.

I sighed to myself and put a hand on my face.

I felt Steph put a hand on my shoulder.

"She just needs some time." She assured.

I gave her a slight nod.

What did Raven mean by that?

Stephanie didn't take me away.

I rubbed my eyes. "Well that went well." I said sarcastically.

*Raven's POV*

"Wow." Was all Marissa said after I told her everything.

"Well, now I'm gonna be pissed everytime a Slipknot or Stone Sour song comes on because Corey's being a jerk." She added, crossing her arms.

I laughed. "I feel the same way Blondie."

And then I frowned. "What am I gonna do?" I asked.

"You could always crash here if you'd like." Marissa offered.

I shook my head. "You don't have to do that." I said.

She gripped my shoulders and looked me in the eyes. "I know I don't have to this for you, but I want to."

"Bye Marissa!" I called

"See ya' Raven!"

I walked back towards house slowly.

'I hope Stephanie won't be there.' I thought.

While I was walking, a thought popped into my head.

'Is she gonna move in?'

My jaw clenched. She better not.

I swear if she does, I'll seriously accept Marissa's offer and crash at her place.

Sadly, I arrived back at the house too soon.

I sighed and opened the front door.

I walked up the stairs that led to the living room.

Luckily, Stephanie wasn't there.

I sighed in releif, but it caught in my throat when I saw Corey looking directly at me from the kitchen.

I tried to avert his gaze and walk to my room, but that failed miserably.

"Raven. Can I talk to you?" Corey asked from the kitchen.

Without a word, I walked into the kitchen and stood there.

"What?" I said flatly.

Corey looked uncomfortable sitting there.

"Um...Stephanie's gonna be moving in."

I didn't say anything. I just turned away and ran into my room, slamming the door.

I sat in the corner of my room, and cried.

Corey didn't care anymore.
