Chapter 01 – Confused
Love is like war, easy to begin but hard to end.
- Unknown
"What the hell is your problem, Pogue?" The raven haired girl snapped at her boyfriend for the seventh time since they had been at Nicky's.
"This, this is my problem…" He stated motioning to the athletic baseball player that was standing a bit too close to his girlfriend for his liking.
"Lighten up buddy, we were just talking…" The guy smirked at Pogue giving him a look that read 'I'm gonna fuck your girlfriend tonight.'
"Talking my ass," Pogue growled lowly shoving the boy back.
"POGUE!" Kate yelled pushing the long haired man back from the short haired blonde she was flirting with moments ago. "Get a grip, Jesus!" She yelled at him.
"Let's go, Kate…" Pogue demanded taking her by the elbow.
"No, I'm not done drinking my drink…" She stated pointing to the glass that was half full with a yellowish liquid.
Pogue's hazel eyes grew rapidly at the realization, his girlfriend was drinking beer, with this asshole. His nose twitched as he lurched forward to the other guy again, that was until he was being pulled back by a much stronger force. He let out a sharp curse word and let the stronger force pull him back.
"What the hell has gotten in to you?" His best friend's strong voice cut through him sharply.
Pogue shook his head, his long dirty-blonde hair hanging in his face, "Dude you were about to be kicked out of here…even I know better than to try and fight IN Nicky's bar…" that was the ever cocky voice of one Reid Garwin, his other best friend.
"Answer the question Pogue, what the hell has gotten in to you?" His best friend and the 'leader' of their little pack, Caleb Danvers asked his dark brown eyes staring in to his.
"Kate…" Pogue groaned.
"Trouble in paradise…" A third voice joined the group, a pair of dark blue eyes met his hazel ones and a playful smile appeared on the boy's face.
"I liked it better when you were quiet…" Pogue muttered raising a hand to push his hair out of his face.
"I liked it better when you weren't an asshole…" The boy muttered shaking his head.
"Fuck you," Pogue jumped out of the seat he had been pushed in to.
"Chill the fuck out," Reid pushed Pogue back down with a brute force, defending his best friend. "He's right you know…" He stated.
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Pogue questioned.
"Ever since you got out of the hospital, and you told Kate… you've been a complete ass to us…" Reid smirked. "More so then me…" He pointed out, a gloved hand resting over his heart with a mock expression adorning his handsome features.
"That's because she's been a complete bitch to me ever since I told her…" Pogue rubbed his eyes tiredly. "She shuns me off, and then snaps at me, and then she flirts with all of these other guys… it's like she's not even the same person anymore…" He shook his thoughts.
"She has been different ever since the Chase thing…" A smaller voice agreed from in front of them, a petite blonde sat across from the table, her cheeks a bit flushed from the sudden attention she was receiving, four penetrating glares.
"Don't ever say that name again," Pogue spat wickedly. The blonde flinched at his words and his best friend shot him a warning glare. "Sorry," He stated shaking his head. "Look I've got to cool off man…" He stated standing up. "I'll catch you guys at school tomorrow…" He sighed sending one last glance in Kate's direction.
Pogue walked out of Nicky's and straight to his yellow Ducati. Pulling on his matching helmet he hopped on the bike and revved up the engine. He sped off, pushing the bike to its limits as he drove further away from his problems. He had one place in mind at the moment and it wasn't his apartment.
Driving, he finally found his spot. Stopping the yellow piece of metal and plastic he tossed his helmet down and walked out to the large mass of water. He had started coming here a lot lately, especially after the Chase incident. With being in the hospital for a few days, recovering, telling Kate the truth and then the aftermath of that… it left him a lot to think about.
He took a seat on the green luscious grass and sighed, how h ad things gotten so bad between them. One minute she is telling him how much she loves him, and how they're going to get married, then she's saying his jealousy is idiotic, and that she's just talking or just friends with the guys he sees her with.
It was true that he was the jealous type, but only because he had caught her cheating on him once before. It was about four months after they started dating and he caught her making out with some other guy at a college party. He had gone berserk and beat the guy up badly.
Kate had sworn up and down that she was sorry and that it would never happen again. But that had never settled Pogue's fears. He was afraid that she would do it again, and then when her interest was sparked by Chase Collins he really began to worry and now even more so.
"What is a good looking guy like you doing at a park, alone, on a Sunday night?" A smooth voice interrupted the evolving thoughts in his head.
From his peripheral vision he could see a petite feminine frame taking a seat next to him. He let out a forced chuckle and stared out at the lake, not bothering to look at the person next to him. He didn't want anything to do with girls right now; they were the reason for his woes.
"Shouldn't I be asking you the same question?" He quipped back after a long pause.
"Unlike you, I tend to be anti-social." She answered with the shrug.
Her statement intrigued him, how did she know that he was social? Did he know this person; was she one of the Sons of Ipswich's groupies, or a fellow Spencer student?
Intrigued to say the least, the hazel eyed man turned his head and was taken aback by a pair of ember colored eyes. They sat in the middle of an oval shaped face, framed by dark, obviously dyed, red hair. Her features were sharp and she was fairly decent looking, she definitely didn't go to Spencer, he noted. Her dark red fingernail polish told him that, it was against Spencer's strict dress code for girls to paint their fingernails.
But if she didn't go to Spencer how the hell did she know him?
"Do I know you?" He asked her uneasily.
She let out a soothing laugh and shook her head slightly, "Not really," She answered simply.
"So, how do you know if I'm social or not?" He asked.
"I'm in 212," She grinned at him.
That's all she had to say for him to understand, she was his neighbor.
The guys were constantly dropping by all the time, or Kate. She probably was referring to all of the noise that comes out of his apartment with Kate, especially lately; their fighting had increased beyond belief.
"So why aren't you at Nicky's like ever other teen in Ipswich?" She asked folding her pale arms over her bended knees.
"I just left there actually," He answered her not really feeling like elaborating on the reason why.
"I see, well now you know where I live so if you ever feel like talking, you can stop by…" She stated helping herself up.
"Didn't you just say you were anti-social?" He asked those hazel eyes darting up to meet her brown ones.
"I feel like expanding my horizon's…" With that she shrugged and left Pogue sitting at the lip of the lake like he had been before she had arrived; now even more confused than before he had made it there.
Who was she, and how did she know he was going to be here? Was she stalking him? He shuddered at the thought; all he needed now was more girl problems. He laughed at the thought.
He felt a vibrating in his pocket, he pulled out his Ericson phone and saw Caleb's name flashing wildly. He sighed and answered the phone without a second thought.
"Yeah man, what's up?" Pogue asked.
"Pogue." The way Caleb said his name was chilling. This couldn't be good.
"Caleb, what's up?" He questioned again.
"I just saw… you're not going to like this…" Caleb held off on speaking what was on his mind. Not something Caleb Danvers was known for.
"Spit it out already man," Pogue was getting irritated. He poured himself back on to his feet and started walking up to his yellow bike.
"After you left," Caleb started taking a deep breath. "I saw Kate kiss that Bobby-Billy-Brad… what ever the hell that dude's name is…" He stated quickly, fumbling over the spiel of names.
"Kate, my girlfriend Kate?" Pogue's face fell at the thought. "I'm going to fucking kill that dude…" Pogue stated. "Stay there, I'll be up in a few minutes…"
Before Caleb could protest or tell him anything else the line disconnected. Pogue revved the engine wildly and hauled off in the direction of Nicky's. Thoughts filled his head, would his girlfriend the girl who claimed to love him cheat on him with some guy from the bar?
She had been drinking… hadn't she? He thought. She's not in her right mind, he assured himself.
He arrived at Nicky's right under five minutes and barged in to the Ipswich hot spot. He located Caleb and the guys and his eyes searched for Kate and the buffoon she was with. He couldn't find he; he grinded his teeth together in dissatisfaction.
"Where the hell are they, Caleb?" Pogue asked his teeth clenched, the vein in his forehead throbbing violently.
"They left right after I called you," Caleb stated with a look of sympathy crossing his features.
"This is fucking great," Pogue growled. "I'm going to her dorm… I'll stake out there all fucking night until she gets back…" He growled pushing past Tyler and Reid who had come to join the two older boys.
"What the hell crawled up his ass, now?" Reid asked with a scowl on his face, slowly rubbing his sore shoulder.
"I told him what I saw with Kate," Caleb announced.
"Now why would you go and do a stupid thing like that?" Reid questioned staring at the 'leader' of the Sons of Ipswich like he had grown a second head.
"Because he deserves to know the truth about Kate, Sarah said that she has been really sneaky lately, and very standoffish… I think she's been cheating on Pogue…" Caleb shrugged.
"Sarah said," Reid mocked him rolling his eyes. "You are fuckin' pussy whipped…" the blonde remarked as the 'leaders' girlfriend approached him wagging her finger at him to join her on the dance floor.
"Fuck off, Garwin; at least I have a girl…" Caleb smirked following his girl out to the dance floor.
"He's got a point," Tyler noted watching Reid roll his eyes.
"Pogue was right; I liked you better when you were quiet…" Reid rolled his eyes and chased after a waitress that had just sauntered past them. Tyler rolled his eyes and watched Reid get shut down after using another one of his lame pick up lines.
"Serves you right, asshole…" He smirked.
Pogue stood outside of Kate and Sarah's room and he could hear something on the other side; gritting his teeth he used his power to open the door. He found Kate leaning down to someone underneath her scantily clad body, their lips together in an intense lip lock.
"What the hell is going on?" He yelled angrily looking at his girlfriend those hazel eyes full up fire.
"Pogue!" Kate's voice yelled, her head snapping in the direction of the open door.
"What the fuck?" The guy under his girlfriend asked in a raised tone.
"Pogue, what the hell are you doing here?" Kate asked grabbing the sheet to her chest as she stomped to the door. "You aren't supposed to be here!" She yelled. "How the hell did you get in to the room?" Her questions continued until she looked him dead in the eye. "Oh," She figured it out without him saying a word. "Get out," She stated angrily.
"What the hell are you doing, Kate?" Pogue asked her ignoring her request.
"I asked you to get out," She demanded.
"I'm not leaving until you tell me what this is about…" Pogue stated slamming his hand on to the door as she tried to close it.
"I'm not happy with you," Kate yelled staring at him with cold, dark eyes. "I haven't been for a long time Pogue, but you're too goddamn stubborn to see it!" She flipped out on him, wailing her fist in to his chest. "All you care about are you're stupid friends, and what happens to them… you don't care about me!" She growled.
"That's bullshit and you know it!" Pogue grabbed her hands with his free one. Her small beats in the chest were starting to hurt. "I love you, Kate… I always have…" He looked her dead in the eyes. It wasn't there anymore, he noted. The spark she used to have for him was gone.
"It's over, Pogue… over!" She shouted shoving him roughly. "I don't want anything to do with you, or the other fuckin' Fags of Ipswich!" She yelled angrily slamming the door in his face.
Pogue stared at the large oak door and let out a heavy sigh, did this just happen? Did Kate Tunney just break up with him? Did he just lose the one girl that he thought he was going to marry? The only girl he had ever told his secret to? He could hear the noises from before pick up again and that made his stomach churn.
How had the flame sizzled? How did it die out? He questioned stepping back a bit from the door and sighing. This had been one confusing night; from the fight at Nicky's, to the mystery neighbor girl, to this. Pogue shook his head and ran out of Spencer's dormitory. He got on to his bike and road the short distance to his apartment.
So, what do you think so far? Let me know if it's worthy to continue...
