Children Of Our Parents (Sequel to SUC)

Chapter 12

Celine sat by the pier with her toes in the water. She sighed as the sun began to go down. Their parents called earlier letting them know that they'll be home tomorrow. On this Sunday night, everyone was quiet and unsteady.
She looked ahead as she spotted Sophie talking to Connor about something. Whatever it was Ryan was keeping an eye out a couple of feet away as he played basketball with the boys.
"I don't know about you but I know you might be mad at me." Celine turned around to see Charlotte looking down to her feet and rocked back and worth nervously.
"It's just a game. No hard feelings." Celine smiled.
"I smell there was an argument." Charlotte sat down next to her.
"It's him and you can't change him. What's worth it though? Besides how are you doing?" Charlotte let out a shaky breath before answering.
"I wanted to tell them but I couldn't. It's so hard looking at my brother and tell him why Worth said those things."
"Char, it wasn't your fault." Celine rubbed her back.
"It was horrible remembering. Only two guys after that because I couldn't take his presence off me."
"Worth is a jackass and you know it. Just calm down, no one is going to find out. We three girls the L.S.C, will take care of you." Charlotte wiped her tears away nodding in reply.
"I want to drug him and send him to Alaska for revenge." Charlotte said.
"That can be arranged. You know Ryan's dad has connections."
"I know but not just yet." She looked at the sunset just sad how their whole day went by. How Charlotte wished she could be the innocent little girl again running away from those who would tag her.
"Dylan will beat him up." Celine reassured.
"He already did. He took out all of his anger on him to make things worse Diana begged for Bruce to take her home in which he did."
"It's for the best. A girl like her deserves better than Dylan."
"He really fell for her." Charlotte pointed out.
"But he'a a fool for letting her go." Celine managed to smile. "say, didn't Austin say something?"
"Oh erm, he said uh....'don't talk to her like that.'" Charlotte tried to mimic his voice but failed. Both girls laughed for mintues.
"Where's Layla?" Dylan asked. The girls turned around and stared him down.
"Not telling." Charlotte spat.
"Oh come on! Cell?"
"You fucked up Dylan Lane. She's never going to talk to you." Which was true. Before Layla left she told them not tell Dylan about her whereabouts and they were keeping that promise.
"Tell me! Not even Bruce would tell me."
"Sorry. Please don't leave a message at the beep. beep." Charlotte flicked him off and Dylan pushed her right into the lake.
"What the-" Dylan picked up Celine ready to dump her in when Joey and Jake came to the rescue like always.
"Put the Turner down." Joey said. Dylan grinned and faked the fact he was going to toss her. Celine screamed.
"Nope. Not until she tells me where Layla went."
"No one is going to tell you." Jake said. "just put her down don't be a douche."
"No. Right Celine? You're a big girl now." Dylan said looking at her horrified face.
"You're so ducked up!" Charlotte said as Joey pulled her out of the lake.
"Yeah, yeah whatever."
"Dylan. I know you're mad, just put her down man she didn't do anything." Jake said almost pleading.
"Now you know how I felt when you yelled at Sophie!" Celine cried out. Jake turned red shaking his head in dismay.
"Well? Are you going to tell me?"
"No Dylan."
"Dude! One panic attack and this place will be surrounded by doctors." Joey pointed out. Dylan didn't care. He just wanted to talk to Layla.
"Stop Dylan...Dylan!" Jake said as Dylan actually threw Celine into the lake. She felt her body hit harshly on the muddy ground and her head spun and she accidentally drank some water. She fidgeted around before she reached for the surface coughing out for help.
"Dylan!" She heard Sophia's voice yelp. She could also hear a slap that most likely Charlotte caused.
"Hjdigkd!" Celine said as she couldn't move her leg anymore and she sunk down. She held on to her breath as long as she could until someone pulled her right out and placed her on the grass. She spit out water and coughed harshly before she was able to see clearly what was going on.
"You are out of your sick head!" Celine got up pushing Jake down, storming towards Dylan.
"Sorry?" Dylan walked away pushing the guys out of his way. Everyone stared at Celine wet and there was that same laughed that annoys her.
"That was really funny, don't you think?" Hazel clapped. "you should of told him."
"You have no fucking idea what was going on. The fuck you doing here?" Celine asked as Felicia ran towards her with towels.
"Got the day off." Hazel smiled. "that's a good look on you Cell Phone. You can get Dominic's attention that way. Oh by the way, what happened last time he forced himself on you?" Celine froze. How does Hazel know about that? Sophia stormed to Hazel and slapped her clean off. Hazel raised her hand but Jake caught it before she hit Sophia.
"Don't you touch my sister." He warned throwing her hand down.
"She slapped me!"
"Cause you deserved it." Jake spat. Sophia stared at him and took a step back.
"Dominic forced himself on you?" Asked Connor.
"It was during passing period. He didn't do anything." Celine said.
"Why didn't you tell us?" Jake asked a bit more serious than usual.
"Oh goody. So I could have my brothers storm down that brute with their mighty Godly powers? It's all solved and all gone! End of story!"
"Oh please, the only reason he didn't get to you was because of Ryan and lovely Peter." Hazel added.
"You can't keep your mouth shut can't you?" Charlotte asked shaking her head. "Bitch."
"I'm being honest! I thought our friendship was on all about honesty. Am I wrong?"
"And it's about keeping your slutty mouth shut when it needs to be." Sophia spat again. Hazel scuffed and flicked her forehead. Rage began to swarm around Jake. He would of punched Hazel by now but he ain't going to hit a girl.
"Listen little Sophia. You can't be so dedicated to this stupid life of yours. You can't keep secrets for long everyone finds it eventually."
"Stop talking to her like that!" Celine stormed towards Hazel.
"You are so annoying did you know that?"
"And you're such a fucking bitch everyone wants to beat up right now."
"Are you threatening me Celine Turner?"
"What does it look like Huggies Pullups?"
"You did not call me a diaper brand!"
"Of course I just did. You're like one, full of shit."
"That's it." Hazel pulled Celine's tangled hair but Celine punched her stomach causing her to back away. Jake wrapped his arms around her stopping her from attacking Hazel again as Finn went after his sister.
"You've gone too far!" Finn yelled at Hazel.
"Oh have I?"
"Yes you have Hazel. You've been here for twenty minutes and look what you've done." Jake said.
"Really? And stop comforting that thing!"
"That thing is a human and that human is Celine and she's very much important to me than you. I told you before Hazel, you should of thought twice before you went crazy." Celine wanted to cry. Cry so bad.
"Are you fucking kidding me Jake?! You prefer to be with that fluff hair wanna be red head than me?"
"At least she's honest." That was all Jake had to say for Hazel to storm off.
"Oh my God. Celine are you alright?" asked Ryan asked. Celine just stood there froze with Jake's arms around her still holding her in place. She hadn' noticed she started to cry.
"Dear lord!" Finn ran after Hazel angrily.
"She'll pay!" Sophia made a fist she couldn't keep. Charlotte turned to Joey and he just shook his head.
"Are you alright?". Jake asked turning her to face him. She looked down at the grass and allowed the words rush through her head like blood. Jake bent down so he could see her eyes and he managed to get her to look at him. "Celine, talk to me. Are you alright?" Celine shook her head and bursted down to tears as she wrapped her arms around his neck and snuggled her face into his neck like she used to when someone would make fun of her when they were little. She liked hugging Jake no matter what the problem was. She always felt better at the end. Maybe it was because she knew he'll protect her no matter what.
Jake looked at her and signaled to the others. He sign languaged food and everyone ran.
"I hate her. I hate her. I hate her." She wept.
"I know you do." He got up and her head slid down to his chest causing her to hug him even tighter. He rested his chin on her head and allowed her to cry all she needed.
"That bitch...." she sniffed.
"It's alright. The sun is going down, I bet you are hungry."
"I want food." She muttered.
"And food is what you'll get." He said.
"Don't. I'll feel like shit." Celine said, not wanting his heat off her. He was her giant teddy bear when Mr. Ruffous wasn't there.
"Okay." They walked up to the porch as Celine smelled meat and barbecue in the air. She potted sticks that are used for S'mores instantly making her stomach rumble.
"Made ribs!" Austin and Peter yelled out cheerfully as they spotted them. Celine blushed hiding her face.
"Ice creeeaaaammmm!" Charlotte sang along with Felicia and Deanna. Celine laughed and allowed Jake to sit her down on the sofa. Sophia poured her some coke on a cup and skipped her way back to help out.
"The...the little monsters?" Celine asked as her voice cracked.
"Dylan took them out to eat with Finn." said Joey. "Levi is fine. Bruce took him with Lay since he wanted to be with her." She nodded as Ryan came up with a plate full of food.
Sophia smiled as Celine ate well and hell, finished the whole bucket of ice cream. She fell asleep before she knew it, stuffed with s'mores.
~~
The sun rose up early in the morning. Celine opened her eyes just to see the lovely summer sun raise up to the sky. She went back down to sleep when she noticed she was sleeping on the sofa from the porch.
Did she really sleep here? She felt a wet spot near her neck and when she wiped it she sighed. Jake was fast asleep leaning on the arm rest. Celine moved a bit to study his face. Surely he had a face of a handsome boy. All beautiful features rose on him even his faint freckles. He suddenly opens one eye and smiled.
"Did I slobber?" he asked.
"You did it on purpose. You haven't slobbered in ages." she said as she reached for a napkin to wipe her neck. Jake then pulled her back next to him and he once again fell asleep. "You lazy ass! Get up!"
"No....three more hours..." He dosed off. Celine shook her head and tried to release herself from his death grip but it was merely impossible. She had no choice but to lean back and rest her eyes for a bit before Joey came out whistling.
"Lazy asses." Joey said as he leaned on Celine. She groaned but it was impossible. She was in the middle of a man sandwich.
"I hate you." Celine hissed at Joey. He only turned himself to hug her. She was far beyond comfortable. She was on her side leaning on Jake. Not to mention she was once again too close to his face. Last time she was close he had kissed her. Now with Joey here, who knows what he'll do next.
"Fun staring at my face?" Jake whispered as Joey snored.
"Now you know how it feels." Celine blushed. Jake poked her nose.
"Your nose gets red when you cry or when you try to hide your blush."
"Oh shut up. Your nose flares when your get mad and you pout when someone proves you wrong." Jake rolled his thrilling eyes and Celine, this time, was the one who leaned in.
"What is it now? You can't have enough of me huh?"
"Cocky you." she smiled. "I don't know what it is Jake. What color are your eyes really?" Joey snored and rolled over again putting more pressure on Celine's back.
"I thought you knew." He looked a bit hurt. She shrugged. "Blue." her head jumped up.
"Seriously?"
"It's weird. Doctors say their blue, DMV say they're gray, mom says they are more grey than blue, dad says it's a family trait, school says they're blue. It's a on and off thing. Sophie is the lucky one. She has straight out the darkest blue eyes and they are still consider blue." Celine covered his face.
"Oh shut up. Eyes are trademarks of the soul."
"Are you spiritual now?" Jake asked moving her hand away from his face and didn't let it go. He began to play with her soft fingers.
"No, I just read The Omen Book by Xandy Philips." she smiled.
"Of course you would." Jake sighed.
"What is it now?" she asked as she managed to get Joey's head off her back and onto one of the pillows.
"Your eyes are green."
"They're breen."
"Breen?"
"I don't want to say Hazel."
"Okay, breen they are." She closed her eyes as Jake brushed her cheek and her nose. Once she felt her face was in the right position she opened her eyes, looking at Jake.
"I can't do what I want to do." She said softly.
"I can't promise you the details on what might happen after today. Just remember who are the ones who care about you." he said pushing a stran of her hair behind her ear.
"I don't want to know what's going to happen."
"Then just expect them to happen." he whispered softly. Joey snored louder and they both laughed.
"What should I expect?" she asked curiously.
"Right now, this." she had no time to response because Jake once again lead the kiss.
~~
Layla woke up to the alarm. She reached for her phone and tossed it back to the table and went back to sleep for an extra two hours. Next time she woke up she smelled delicious pancakes, bacon and eggs coming from the next room.
Remembering where she was, she covered herself with the orange blanket before she heard the door open wide. Layla looked down to the floor to see Groso sleep. That dog, he's the cutest thing she has ever seen even though it's not her dog.
"I know you are awake." a familiar voice came. Layla groaned pulling the covers off, folding her arms.
"Do you happen to read my mind?"
"No, I just know you wake up two hours after you turn off the alarm." Layla sighes. Before she knew it, Groso was on her waiting to be pet. She tickled his stomach in order for him to get off.
"Creep."
"Not much. You should be grateful that this creep cooked for you." Layla laughed and tossed a pillow at him.
"Seriously Bruce, you should stop worrying and come back to sleep."

Oh shit you guys....why is Layla at Bruce's? hehee, I did promise a cliffhanger now enjoy a week or so...nah, I just won't update for three days depending on how long it takes me to update my other stories. Picture is of Celine hugging Jake as kids :)
