I woke from a dreamless sleep. I guess it was because the idea of Pierce coming back kind of ate at my mind as I slept. How would I act? Do I really want him back? Well that's not really a question, of course I want him back but I don't know how I'll react to it. I've missed him so much but I'm mad at him for leaving me like that. And what about Nick? Ughh! Why did he have to make things so complicated? I snapped out of my thought when someone rudely slammed my bedroom door open.
"Scarrr why didn't you open the door??" I heard Carter whine
"Sorry I was just lost in my thoughts" I responded honestly
"What's the matter? Are you thinking of him again?" He asked quietly
I slowly nodded my head and he came over to my bed and sat beside me so he could wrap his arms around me. I hugged him back and began sobbing a bit. I was scared, I wanted him back but I didn't want to get my hopes up because of one feather.
"There, there." He whispered as he kissed the top of my head "Tell me what happened this time."
I look up into his warm brown eyes and told him everything that happened last night and how I felt about it. Honestly after Pierce he became my go-to person whenever I was upset. It was either him or Amaryllis but I was closer to Carter because we spent much more time together. We sat in a comfortable silence for a while until I realized I had school.
"Carter?" I said
"Hmm?" Was his only response
"Can you please pick out an outfit for me while I shower? Pretty please with a cherry on top?" I asked with puppy eyes
He smiled and nodded "you sure you don't want me to join you in the shower?"
I blushed at the comment and shooed him away. I felt better after I warm shower but I couldn't take too long because I was already short on time. I got out in 15 minutes and wrapped a fluffy white towel around me and walked out to find a cute blue tunic dress and some nude flats with a gold bracelet all laid out on the bed. That boy can be hella crazy but he definitely has a sense of style. I got dressed and put on some peach lip gloss I lined my eyes and added liquid eyeliner to my top lid to finish the look. I looked down at the dresser and noticed there was a gold ear cuff that I didn't recognize which sat next to a small pearl earring. I smiled thinking that he thought about me. He's so sweet sometimes. I walked out of the bedroom after putting of the cuff and the earring and ran downstairs where I knew Carter was. I could smell the pancakes from upstairs and I loved when he made me pancakes. I ran into the kitchen and hugged him from behind. I felt him tense up and then relax when he realized it was me.
"Thanks." I said happily
"For what?" He asked cutely
"For always being there for me." I said with a smile.
We had breakfast in comfortable silence dropping small talk here and there. He got in his car and I got playful so I sat on his lap.
"Princess, what are you doing?" He asked, amused at my actions
"I wanna drive so either move or sit under me awkwardly." I said
"Scarlet, you can't drive my car. I don't let anyone drive my baby." He said getting defensive.
"Fine." I pouted and shifted to the other seat but I kept my legs on his lap to keep comfortable.
We got to school and after parking the car we went towards our lockers. I saw Amaryllis waving at me frantically.
"OMG have you seen the new guy? He's so hawt!" She exclaimed flipping her short red hair
"Yea he's in, well almost all my classes now that I think about it." I said
"Lucky bitch!" She said playfully glaring at me with her icy blue eyes.
Carter protectively wrapped an arm around my waist and whispered "I want you to stay away from him, please?"
"But why?" I questioned
"I know his type and I could tell from the look in his eyes that he's after you. He responded in a whisper
"Fine. Fine. But I can still be friends with him right?"
He gave me a look like I was crazy. The bell rang signalling it was time to get to our classes and as I was walking away he intertwined our fingers and walked with me. It was normal because he would usually accompany me to class but holding his hand was weird. I got to my class and hugged him.
"Now get to class!" I told him with a playful smack
He smiled and walked away and I walked in prepared to face the deliciously beautiful hell known as Nick.
