Kyle's P.O.V.
Me and the boys are currently sitting in my room, having a meeting concerning Carter. Liam walked back in with a slight smile, "We can start, Carter's fast asleep." Good.I smiled at my brothers as we sat in a circle on the floor. "My brothers, we are currently in session. We have not made any progress with Carter, and she seems to be hanging out with the enemy. Has anyone made any progress at all?"
The boys shake there heads so I continue, "Well, progress needs to be made before we tell her the truth. So I took it in my hands to make something up, we are going to the lake this weekend. I have rented an RV. And whoever Carter shows interest in, gets the first whack at going on a date. Am I understood my brothers?"
Before they even get the chance to respond I hear Carter screaming. I rush into her room to see that she's shaking, "Daddy!" She yells, "Don't do it! Please." Then she jumps in her bed before waking up. "What happened, is everyone alright?"
Then her face goes cold, she remembers the dream. Nick speaks up then, "Cart, what happened with your dad?" Carter seemed to go stiff at the question. "It's okay Cart, yours safe."
Carter's P.O.V.
Do I really wanna open up, do I wanna tell the guys my story? Feel their sympathy? I don't want the sympathy, but they deserve to know the truth. "My dad's dead okay? He shot himself, and I was in front of him when he did it. My mom died of cancer two weeks before, and my dad couldn't handle it. I couldn't either! But he didn't care, he had to leave me all alone. I don't matter."With that said I run out of the bedroom, but I don't get out the door before I get pulled onto the embrace of Liam. Leaving me sobbing his T-shirt. I feel terrible that I'm emotinal like this, but I just miss my parents. "Sh. It's okay Carter, let it all out."
I don't know what to do, I'm scared. I'm scared to love someone, or even like someone because I might lose them. "I'm fine. Can I just be left alone right now?" They all nodded their heads and left me alone. I didn't want to be alone, I wanted a distraction, so I text Blake.
Me- Blakey?
Blake- What is it Carters?
Me- I don't feel emotionally well, and I could really go for a distraction. Blake, you know anyone who's having a party tonight?
Blake- :) Of course I do Carter. I always know someone who's throwing a party. Sneak out your back window and meet me at the street in 10? It's really early, but the party should still be kicking.
Me- Yeah, I'll meet you out there. Thanks Blake. ;)
I smiled to myself as I slipped on a pair of skinny jeans and an under amour sweatshirt. I sneaked out the window in my bedroom and headed towards the street. I saw Blake right away, he was sitting in his car texting on his phone. "Blakey."
He looked up right away and smiled at me. "Hey Carters. Jump in, this party is still at full swing." I nodded my head and smiled, then he spoke again. "Why'd you need a distraction anyway?"
I smiled at him and he began to drive. "I need a distraction from my dead parents and the overly protective boys I'm staying with." He looked at me for a moment like I was completely crazy, and then a look of sorry filled his eyes. "Don't dare tell me you're sorry. Can you just drive?"
He nods his head and drives, it takes ten minutes to get to the party. And he's right, it's still I'm full swing. "I'm going to go get drinks, I'll find you okay?" I nod my head and he walks off.
A few minutes later I find myself sitting on a leather couch with some hot drunken boy walking over to me. "Hey cutie, would you like to dance?" I nod my head but hold up my pointer finger. I grab his cup and chug down what was left then I let him lead me onto the dance floor.
...
I don't know how long I've been here, but I'm guessing it's at least been a couple hours. I felt on cloud nine right now, probably because I'm drunk, but whatever. Blake tried to get me to leave, but I heavily refused. Someone poked my shoulder and I turned around to see Blake, "I just want to say I'm sorry in advance. You have given me no other choice."
I didn't have time to process what he said when I heard someone yelling, "Carter!" It as just anyone though it was the boys. They ran through the crowd and smiled when they saw me. "Blake what's wrong with her?" Liam asked.
Blake smiled and gently pushed me, but I fell right into Nick. Man he's hot. "Your hot Nick, you know that? I bet you didn't know. That's even more cute!"
Nick shook his head as he held me in his arms, and I began tracing his muscles with my finger. "You're drunk, Carter. Let's get you home." I shook me head. "Go ahead Kyle." At that point I was flung over Kyle's shoulder.
...
When we got home Kyle sat me down in the couch, and they sat on the one across from me. Then Kyle smirked. "Everyone she's drunk." They al nodded their heads, "That's means we can ask her anything and she'd most likely tell her the truth."
I shook my head. "That's not fair. That's deceiving me! I'll tell the truth, even I know that. And then I'll forget what I told you in the morning."
They all smiled and Kyle began by asking a question. "Have you ever had a boyfriend?" I nodded my head, remembering Tommie. "Do you have a boyfriend now?" I nodded my head instantly. "Who?"
The answer came to me almost as a reflex. "Nick." They all looked at Nick with death glares. "Opps. It was supposed to be a secret." Then I started giggling. "Sorry baby."
Everyone turned away from Nick and looked back at me. "Which one of us do you like more?" I had to think about it, and I still couldn't respond. "They say you can tell by what you feel when you kiss. Wanna try?" Kyle asked.
That actually didn't sound like a bad. I nodded my head enthusiastically, and he smiled. "Don't consider this as cheating Nick, alright?" He just looks mad, and that's when Kyle connected his lips and mine. It was rough and needed, but there were sparks. Lots and lots of sparks.
"Kyle."
