Colossal Damage

4. Loose the looser of a boyfriend

"Don't stay out too late kid !" Is what sister dearest shouts after I jump to the front seat .

"So , I am dropping you off and fetching you at what time ?" Carter asks making a sharp right turning on to Daron's street .

"Umm how about I call you ."

"Hey Mrs Froams ." I greet Daron's mom .

"Hello my darling ." She pulls me into her embrace .

"Did you have dinner ? Or would you like me to fix you a plate ? It's your favourite ... mac and cheese !" I politly decline her offer and make my way up to Daron's room .

I don' t bother knocking and find him sitting on his bed . I give him my award winning smile before I pounce on him giggling .

"Hey baby ." I smother his face with kisses .

"Hi ." Hi ? What is that ? I remove myself from his body kind of flushed with embarrassment .

"Hi." I give him the most awkward wave possible and tilt my head , so my hair falls from behind my ear ...offering me the best curtain it could muster up .

"We need to talk ." He states .

"Okay." I clear my throat .

"I think we should break up ." I gulp feeling a lump grow in my throat .

"Did I do something wrong ?" I quietly ask .

"No no , I just found someone better ." Well that just took a blow to my non-existing ego .

"Not not the way you are thinking . I mean like someone who suits me more ." He rambles on .

"You know what I'm just gonna go ." Please don't cry . Not here hadleast .

"Paris -" I quickly get up and walk right out of his room .

"Leaving so soon ?" Mrs Froams catches me about to open the door .

"Yeah I gotta go , I left the windows open ." I try come up with a really lame excuse .

I feel my eyes start watering . No now . Please no now .

"You okay honey ?" She asks concern leaking into her words .

I have always loved Mrs Froams . She has always accepted me .

"Yeah , I'm okay , I'm going to head home now . Goodnight ." I walk out before she can say anything . As soon as I close the door , the tears start falling .

I jog down the street where I sit on a nearby curb . I wipe at my tears furiously , however they just run faster .

I need to get a grip .

I inhale deeply before I take my phone out and muster the best 'I am okay voice ' I can muster up and call Carter .

"Can you pick me up now , I'm down the road ." I say and quickly cut the call .

Less than six minutes later Carter stops right in front of me .

"Well that was quick." I avoid looking at him when I give him a response .

"You okay ?" He questions . Sometimes I am super great full London is my pushy sister , because if I did not have my hair loose ... I would have not been able to hide .

"Yeah ." My voice cracks .

I wait for the car to come to dead stop before I dare look up . We are far from my house , in fact we are at 'Scoop ,' an ice cream parlor about twenty minutes away from my house .

Carter pushes my hair behind my ear before titling my head slightly to look at him .

"Guess I might be going to juvi sooner than expected ." He hums , shaking his head .

"Care to tell me what happened ."

"Its nothing that concerns you ." I turn my head and lay it on the cool glass of the window of the car .

"Suit yourself , hold it or maybe go tell London . However we are getting ice cream ." He steps out of the car and comes round to my side when he sees I am not coming out .

He opens the door not considering that I am leaning on it .

His lucky he caught me ...

"Am I gonna have to carry you out of this car ? You know I will ." I huff but get out .

He wraps his arm around my shoulder , "Lighten up Pinky ."

"What did you just call me ? "I raise my eyebrow at him .

"Pinky , I decided you remind me of candy floss , sweet but bad for you ." I roll my eyes at him .

"Can I take your order ?"

"I will have your fudge brownie and the pretty lady will have salted caramel ." He hates fudge brownie .

"I don't want ice cream ," I sigh when he shoves the salted caramel into my hand .

"I never asked for you opinion ." He says pulling me to a booth .

He pulls his face as soon as he licks his ice cream . "Why did you get it if you hate it ?"

"To remind myself that I hate it ." He smiles , grasping the salted caramel from my hands before putting the fudge in mine .

"You're a weirdo Carter Delton . " I muse .

"Ahh I was thinking that exact same thought Pinky ." He slams his lips into a straight line .

"I hate the colour pink ." I mutter .

"Oh and I love annoying the heck outa you Pinky ." He smirks down at me .
