The Boy Next Door

•Chapter 11•

I woke up at 8 and stayed in my bed til it was about 9. I got up and went to my closet to put on my fuzzy shorts on but still wearing his hoodie.

I still haven't got a text or call from Carter but I'm sure he is fine.

I went downstairs to see a note on the counter.

Cora wanted to see what goes on behind the scenes. So she went with me and Bucky's at the Gym and also has a meeting today. We won't be home until like 12. Help yourself kiddo!
Love, Neera

I smiled at the note and placed it back on the counter. I made some coffee and decided that I would actually make something for breakfast. That's surprising. I don't really like to eat breakfast and it's very rare when I want a meal for breakfast.

I took out some ingredients for pancakes and started making them in the middle of making the pancakes my coffee got done. I took that out and finish the  pancakes.

After sometime the pancakes were done. I took a couple and went to the living room with my pancakes in one hand and in the other was my coffee.

I put Friends on for a bit til I was finished eating at least. I decided I wanted to be productive today and do something. When I finished eating I went upstairs and got in the shower. I wash my hair and everything I stay in there for awhile but then got out.

I put my robe on and washed my face. I dried my hair then curled it. I put a little bit of makeup and went to my closet.

I decided on wearing and nice brown sweater with a plane black skirt. I know it's cold outside so I but on some knee high boots on. I thought it was to much but then went with it because I didn't feel like changing.

I went downstairs grabbed my purse and keys. As well as my phone and went out the door.

I got into my car and started it. I backed out and started to head out of the neighborhood when I was at the end of my street I saw a familiar bike across from me.

Then it clicked.

I saw him going out yesterday with that bike. I looked at him. Then it was my turn so I went. Well at least he is okay thank the Lords. I went to the local library. I went in and looked around. I  like to look at thing but never buy them. Weird I know. I heard the bell to let people know that someone walk in I didn't pay attention to who it was I just kept looking.

I took a few steps back and looked up I found a book that looked interesting so I went on my tipping toes to try and get it. When all the sudden felt someone behind me that tower over me. Their hand grab the book I wanted. I turn around to see the person I was hoping never to see again.

My father

I gulped. My heart sunk where is Carter when I really need him.

"Hello" I could tell he was drunk. I didn't care about the book anymore I just ran out. I got in my car and drove off. No no how did he find us. He can't be back. He has to leave. Now.

I pulled in the driveway to see that Carter had company. Black SUV'S we're line up in his driveway. Then I saw men walk out of his house they looked terrified. Then I saw an older man wearing a black suit he kinda looked like Carter. Walking out looking as angry as ever. Then puzzle pieces fell into place. His dad.

Then the guys got in the car and drove away I saw Carter again looking like he is about the kill someone. I saw him with his helmet. He looked at me with concern in his eyes. There was no anger there was concern now. I didn't even realize I was cryinv til I felt water down my cheeks. I looked away and hurry in my house. I set everything down. And the doorbell rang. My heart sunk. Who was it? I looked out the window and was relieved.

I quickly open the door and jumped in his arms. He dropped his helmet and caught me. "Hey love Is everything okay." I shock my head no. He walk me inside and I told him. Everything that he did and what he did to my family. And me. I told him that I saw him I couple of minutes ago and I told him that. He abused me. With that I could see Carter eyes fill with anger. He hugged me. I was so thankful for him. "Hey uh love?" I looked up."hmm?"

"Would you hate me if I told that I had a secret but I don't feel comfortable telling yet?" I look at him "Take your time." He relaxed a bit. " Would you like to go to a ball my family is hosting." I smiled widely. "Of course my love." He smile. "Where you going." He looked at his helmet on the floor. "Oh  family business I should go the ball is tomorrow at 8 so I'll pick you up at 7." I smile and nod. " That sound good!" He kissed me on the forehead and left. I went upstairs to change into more comfortable clothes and lay in my bed before I knew it I was asleep.

I woke to a motorcycle engine and new Kit Kat was home at his home. I checked the time to see it was 3am what the fuck. Why did he get home so late is he okay. I quickly got out of bed brushed my hair. I grabbed his hoodie and went to his place. Luckily he still had his garage open so I went in through his garage. "Carter?" I heard a noise coming from the back of his garage so I hurried over there. I looked down to the floor to see blood. "CARTER!" No no no please be okay don't die on me Carter. I looked to the corner and saw him.
