Hummel-Anderson Experience

Out

~3 Days Later~

"Carter?"

Carter blinked and looked up "Huh?"

"You okay?" Lola asked "You zoned out for a while then"

"Yeah" He smiled a little "Got a lot of my mind at the moment"

"Want to talk about it?"

"So you can tell my dad again" He looked at her "No thanks"

"I only did that for your safety and you know that" She pointed at him "Would you tell your dads about your Uncle?"

"No but" He sighed "That's not the point, Lola"

"You're still stubborn CJ" She shaked her head smiling "I won't tell your dads"

"I can't tell you" He sat back "Can we talk about something else?"

"How's school?" She looked at him.

"Top grades" He grinned "And keeping busy like you told me to"

"Which do you like best?"

"Not sure" He shrugged "I like diving but I like boxing"

Lola wrote something down and looked at him "Do you remember anything about your real family?"

"I had a twin sister" Carter smiled a little.

"Tell me about her"

"Maisey was a ball of energy, I loved her" He sighed "I remember sitting in the hospital with our dad while mum was in a room with her, I didn't know what was going on, I was only two"

"What happened?"

"She died from a brain tumour" He closed his eyes "Everyday, my parents were breaking more and when they died I couldn't cope anymore" He shaked his head as the tears fell "My uncle told me it was my fault that they died and he's right"

"Cart" She jumped up and knelt in front of him "Them dying wasn't your fault"

"If I was in that car with them, I would be dead too" He squeezed his eyes shut "It's my fault!"

"Somebody!" She shouted "I need some help in here!"

The door opened to see Blaine and Scott "What's going on?"

"Panic attack" She looked at the young boy "CJ, look at me"

"No" He shaked his head "It's all my fault"

"What's his fault?" Blaine asked confused.

"Lola" Scott walked towards them "May I?"

"Go on" Lola nodded standing up and moved out of the way then pushed her best friend back "Don't"

"Okay" Blaine nodded.

Scott took a breath before kneeling down "Cart?"

"Don't" Carter leant forward with his elbows on his knees and rested his head on his hands "My fault"

"C" Scott sighed "Maisey dying wasn't your fault, it just took over quickly"

"Bu-but my parents" Carter let out a shaky breath.

"You was at school, you didn't know" Scott lifted his head to see his eyes closed "Look at me"

Carter slowly opened his eyes and looked at his best friend "It's"

"Don't" Scott shaked his head "It wasn't your fault, do I have to hit you again for this?"

"No" Carter smiled a little and took a deep shaky breath.
