Our secret

Our secret -chapter 3

Carter's POV

I told Amara she could go to my room while I get her an ice pack. I should've told her she couldn't stay with me because it's going to be very hard trying to keep my hands of her and or kiss her. I walk down the hallway, to my room. I find her sitting on the bed.
"Ok here's the ice pack," I hand it to her.
"Thank you."
"Do you want to shower?" I ask her.
"Yes, I smell like bomb-fire," She laughs softly.
"Ok," I open my drawer "here," toss her one of my T-shirts.
"Thank you." She goes in my bathroom and starts the shower. This was totally such a bad idea. It's been 10 minutes, and that's when I hear the water stop. When Amara comes out she's in my T-shirt that falls to her mid-thigh. I wish I could pull her onto my lap and kiss her.
"You can lay down I'ma go hop in the shower," I tell her.
"Mk," she says. I grab a pair of boxers and a pair of sweats. I go and take a quick shower. Once I finish the shower I get dressed. When I walk out of my bathroom I see Amara on her stomach with her hair in her face as she's asleep. Even like this she's the prettiest girl I've ever seen. I tuck a piece of her hair behind her ear and put the blankets on her. I slip in bed next to her and fall asleep.

I like waking up in the mornings sometimes. I wake up to a head rested on my shoulder, an arm draped over my stomach, and It's Amara snuggled up next to me with my arm around her shoulder. She groans and I feel her eyes flutter open snd that's when she screams. She backs away.
"Shhhh," I shush her. "Why are you screaming anyway?"
"Sorry uh that was just very unexpected."
"Look you're the one that snuggled up next to me," I grin.
"Yeah whatever can you take me home now?" She asks, she still looks so beautiful even when she just woke up.
"For sure."

Amara's POV

(2 years ago)

I need to call Brett . Why isn't he picking up. Brett's my boyfriend, we've been dating for about a year now. We got into a huge fight last night and it got pretty deep and I also haven't spoke to him since the argument. My phone buzzes and it's from Brett.

Brett: Hey can you meet me at my house?
Me: on my way

I throw on some decent clothes, grab my earbuds and my phone off my bed and I'm out the door. I get on my bike, put my earbuds in, and ride over to Bretts house. The song Use Somebody by Kings Of Leon starts playing as I ride my bike over to his house. I love riding my bike I guess I just feel free, free from all the worries in my life. It's like some kind of escape for me. I finally get to his house. I text him.

Me: I'm here

He opens his front door.
"Hey." He says, I wave to his hey. Something feels off about him. "Can we talk Amara?" He asks. "Yeah what's up?"
"Let's go to my room." He leads the way to his room. Even though I know exactly where his room is, I've been to his house so many times. He takes a seat on his bed and says while looking at the ground, "Okay so how do I put this..." He pauses and looks me in the eyes. There those pretty green eyes of his looking at me, the eyes that literally anyone can get lost in. "I think we should break up." I'm at a loss of words. It feels like my world's collapsing. This is the kid that told me he was so deeply in love with me. This is the first guy I said "I love you" to. "Why?" I guess I managed to get one word out. "Because-" I cut him off, "You're dumping me?" No shit he's dumping me. "Amara look it's for the better, we're always arguing and plus I like someone else." He likes someone else. We're not always arguing and you're supposed to stick around that's what you do if you truly love someone. I finally crack, tears start streaming down my face, "Brett please don't do this I thought you loved me," My voice cracks I didn't think this would ever happen. "Amara.." Somehow I end up on the floor in-front of him. "Brett please stop don't do this." He looked at me and in this moment I realized this is the day he stopped loving me.
"Amara look okay I'm done, so we're done."
"Okay then we're done." It hurts just saying that we're done I thought we were at least gonna last to senior year. I wipe the tears streaming down my face and I get up off of his bedroom floor. I walk out of his house and I hop on my bike. I put my earbuds in.
"I like someone else," how do you fall out of love with someone or he never really loved me, maybe he just loved the idea of loving me. I get it I wasn't enough for him to try. My phone buzzes.

B: you coming to the party tonight?
Me: uh I don't know
B:  come please for me
Me: Okay fine

I need to tell her about Brett but it can wait. I want to get high or drunk. I want to forget about this stupid heart ache. I make it to my house. I go to my room and change. I look in the mirror at my teary eyes. I go into my bathroom to wash my face.

B: we're outside your house I hope you're ready
Me: okay coming one sec

I slip my sneakers on and I go out to whoever's car is outside, it's Charlotte's car. B rolls the passenger window down and says, "hop in." She says giggling. She looks high like she smoked a joint. She's sitting in the passenger seat and charlotte's is driving, she's probably dd. I open the back seat door. Not expecting to..
"What's up mar mar," Ethan says. Ethan and some other sophomore's in here. Mar mar weird nickname but okay.
"Hey Ethan." I say hi to Ethan because I know him but I have no idea who this kid next to him is.
