Colossal Damage

51 .The collison

Remember that moment ? Well it turned into Carter disappearing. Currently , Kalem , Zuri and I are walking in the direction he walked in with flashlights .

"Carter !" I shout into the cold breeze . Kalem is trailing behind me holding Zuri's hand .

"We've been out here for an hour . I'm sure he must have found his way home ." Kal sighs frustration in his voice .

"Hey it's me . Ummm... can you come home ." I record the second voicemail .

"Let's go home . He'll find his way . He always does." Kalem turns back but not before grabbing my hand and dragging me too .

Mrs D manages to calm me down when I tell her the situation in a panic.

"He always does this . After , he starts trouble he disappears for a while ." She sighs changing Nova's nappy.

I make my way to my room ignoring the lizards and spiders because my mind is occupied being worried about my boyfriend. I tuck myself into bed and snuggle with my pillow. Just as I'm about to fall asleep ,I hear ruckus near my window and get startled.

I jump out of bed and move to the window where I find Carter trying to lift it up. I open it and he climbs through . He topples over not because of the climb but because of the alcohol I smell on his breath.

"He wanted to kiss you . Did he kiss you?" He slurs as I help him off the floor . He can barely stand . I wonder how he even got home .

"No he never got the chance to because my drunk boyfriend beat him to a pulp ." I scold him as I try to move him to the bed .

"You didn't even look for me . You were kissing him !" I throw my hand over his mouth before he wakes the whole house up.

"You wanted to kiss him ." The funny thing about of of this is because as he says this , he snuggles into me . His leg goes over my body ,and his arm covers my body . His head rests in the join of my neck and shoulder. I feel his breath tickle my skin as he snuggles further . I tilt my head to get a good look at his face . He looks so adorable when he sleeps . I brush the hair out of his face and kiss his forehead .

I can be mad at him tomorrow . For tonight , I'm just happy he's home. I turn my body so I can cuddle him properly . He groans and whimpers in his sleep , but once my hands are in his hair he goes quiet . I play with his soft locks and stroke his cheeks as I feel myself drift off to sleep.

"I love you Pinky ." He murmurs in his sleep softly . If it wasn't fir the dead silence in the room I probably wouldn't have heard it . A gentle smile graces NY lips as I kiss the top of his head making him nuzzle into me .

"I love you too ." With that I hold him as we sleep . Our arms cocoon each other's bodies as we let the sleep consume us .

My eyes flutter open to see Carter draped over my body. I suddenly get overwhelmed with emotions . My throat tightens and I feel my eyes well up . Why am I feeling this way ? The answer is simple . I was so scared something had happened to Carter . I attempt to slip out of his arms . I need space to get a grip . I wiggle out of his grip but he only holds me tighter . I sigh and give up from trying to escape. The tears stream down my cheeks in hot buckets . I bite my cheeks to stop the whimpers . He is here. He is safe . But ... I was so scared . I was so worried .

Eventually , he stirs and opens his eyes . My pity party is over .

"Morning ." His voice is thick with sleep as he yawns and uses the skin of my stomach to rub the sleep from his eyes .

"Morning." My voice is also a little gruffly from crying . He stretches ,and I take this opportunity to escape to the bathroom . However , he grabs my arm before I can get up .

"Paris ." I hum in response and yanks my hand from his . He sighs and curses under his breath as he crawls to my side of the bed .

"Paris ."

"What ?" I snap at him . He responds by pulling me into his lap . I fight with him ,but he is much stronger compared to me . I huff and don't lean into him . I try to put distance between us but that is impossible as I'm in his lap.

"I know you're mad ..." He sighs and puts his finger under my chin . I turn my head and sulk . He sighs but does something unexpected. He shoves me onto the bed . My back hits the soft mattress and his body looms over mine . He pins me down under his body . I seem him wince ,probably because of the hangover headache

"Say something. Scream even." He pleads with me fighting with me to look at him .

"There is nothing to say." I mutter under my breath . He curses himself and presses his head against mine.

"It's a side I wished you'd never have to see . That is me Paris . The bad boy they call me . I smoke , well I haven't in a while now . I drink to drown this anger that builds within me. I pick fights at every opportunity. I'm sick in my head . So , sick that even my parents are tired of worrying about me. I'm a stray . I'm a horrible brother . Do you know this I'd the longest I've spent with Kal in forever?" He doesn't look me in the eyes when he says this .

"Used to." I correct him . His eyes soften when I correct him .

"Yes, I may not know you the way London knows you. The way the others do . But the parts I know ie you ." I finally look into his tired eyes .

"I'm the real black hole . "His eyes well up .

"We both are . I have demons too." I correct him .

"Colossal damage ?" His eyes bore into mine .I now realise we need each other . We ground each other . In a way we're each other's life lines .

"Colossal damage ." And , so the two black holes collided during a passionate kiss .
