Pick Me

Chapter Three- Comfort

Carter's P.O.V.
I looked my father dead in the eye. "Daddy, please don't do this. You already left me once, not again, please." I was crying by this time, my dad can't do this.

My dad gave me a weak smile, how can he be smiling? "Honey I know your hurting. But this time I'm not leaving without you, you're coming with me this time." He said taking out a gun.

I couldn't help but scream, connecting his words to why he was holding a gun. He wanted to take me with him, he wanted to shoot me before shooting himself. "No! Daddy you can't do this!"

He looked sad. "I'm sorry sweetie, I'll see with mommy." He then pulls the trigger, I fall to the floor screaming. But before my vision goes out I see my father fall to the floor cold after the faint sound of a gun shot.

I wake up after that part, and notice I wasn't alone. I saw two arms wrapped around me, when I looked up I saw Nick looking worriedly at me. I then scanned the room only to see Kyle and Liam with the same expression.

I cuddled deeper into Nick, crying as I did so. Why did my dad have to leave me? No. Why did he do it while I was there, while I was watching? "Cart are you okay? What happened?" Cart? I knew right away it was Kyle.

I shake my head managing to get out a few words. "J-just a nightmare, I'm f-fine." I know I'm not, but hopefully I said it convincing enough for them to believe me. But I know that I'm not convincing enough.

Kyle shakes his head back at me, "No you're not." That's all I needed to hear, no one is going to ever know what I saw. As far as anyone knows I found my dad, dead. No one knows I saw him pull the trigger, as he was apologizing to me. "Is there anything you need?"

I shake my head, he whispers something to Liam who's next to them and they leave me alone with Nick. I was thankfully that Nick wasn't leaving me right yet, at least I knew he wasn't. "You okay Carters?"

I nod my head, and that's when Kyle and Liam walk back in. Kyle speaks, "Come on you two. I have a special surprise in the living room." I nod my head and me and Nick follow the other two out. When we get to the living room I am surprised to see a pallet set up with blankets. "We figured we could all stay in here tonight, considering."

Even without him saying it I still felt terrible. "Thanks guys." The all nodded there heads and I laid down in the middle. Nick quickly took my right and Kyle took my left. Liam laid on the other side of Kyle. About thirty minutes later I was still my awake, my eyes closed though. My back my facing Kyle, and my front facing Nick. Kyle must have thought I was asleep because he wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me into his chest. I didn't resist, I fell asleep like that.
