Love The Way You Lie [being edited]

Golden Couple

Im so pass my bedtime (yes i do have a bedtime. i still have school well Summer schoo tomorrow), but i decided to write a quick chapter. Sorry that it is yet again a short one!!

Not that much action, but alot of thinking/ foreshadowing in a way. Thats all im saying. Goodnight, good morning, or good after noon which ever!!! haha

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I turned the corner when Sarah jumped me. I fell to the ground with her on top of me. The wind knocked out of my lungs. She quickly got off me and Carter helped me up.

"Oh my gosh Evy! I didn't mean for that to happen! I though you knew that I was going to do that. You always know when im going to do that." Sarah said hyperventilating.

Talk about dramatic. After I made sure that I didn't break anything I told Sarah to calm down.

"Sarah, im fine. Can you relax? Carter help me here, your girlfriend is freaking out." I said with a smile on my face.

Sarah gave me a stink eye.

"Was not." She said defending herself. "But seriously, I thought I hurt you."

"Well you didn't, but I think I might get some bruises." I replied, rubbing a sore spot on my back, wincing a little from a small stinging pain.

"Why didn't you brace yourself?"

"Well I don't know, maybe because I was preoccupied."

She raised an eyebrow and Carter stood on the sidelines staying out of it. He knew what was best for him. She was analyzing me again. She knew I must've been very occupied with my thoughts to not have seen her. Funny thing though was that I knew she was going to wait for me around the corner. I knew there wasn't going to be any way in hell that she wasn't. But yet I forgot, Anson made me forget. He only made me think about him. I mentally slapped myself, I had to stop thinking about him.

"So im guessing that was Anson?" She said emphasizing his name. "What the hell were you doing with him? From where I stood it looked like you were going to kiss him."

The idea of not thinking of him just flew out the window. I felt queasy, because she was right. I was going to kiss him and I had no clue why. I looked away from her gaze. I didn't want her to know what I was thinking, like she usually always did. I felt her hand rest on my shoulder.

"Evy? What happened?" Sarah asked, concerned.

I faced her once more.

"I don't know." I said honestly.

"Evony."

"Don't say my name like that."

"Like what?"

"You know."

"Obviously not."

"You only say my name like that when your disappointed or you think im lying."

"Do not." She replied with a pout.

"whatever."

I moved away so that her arm fell to her side. I crossed my arms and looked at the city lights. I was frustrated with myself and so very confused. I mean I just met Anson and I was going to kiss him. He almost killed me and I was going to kiss him. Saddest part is was that I still had the urge to do so.

Maybe he was right. Right that I wanted to kiss him. But I couldn't help the feeling of guilt that was consuming me. I closed my eyes and took in a deep breath. I was not going to let my emotions get the best of me. I was still very fragile and prone to being overcome with depression. I didn't want to go back to that state of mine ever again.

"Evony?" A voice called me.

I whipped my head towards the voice and saw Caleb's figure behind Sarah and Carter. They turned around to, looking at Caleb. Caleb had a confused and slightly unhappy expression on his face but it disappeared. He began walking towards us.

He gave a nod to Carter and Sarah. He then faced me, his eyes portraying his inner emotions although his face was clear of any. I could tell he was irritated that they were here. I looked behind him and saw Sarah stick her tongue at him. Carter smiled and wrapped his arm around her waist.

"Why are they here?" He asked me softly, so only I could here.

"I don't know." I lied.

I didn't want him to know that I called Sarah and told her to help me out because I didn't want Anson, the guy I almost kissed and cheated on him with, to notice me. I can just see that conversation going downhill. He'd probably only hear the word 'I kissed'. Caleb closed his eyes and sighed.

"Is dinner done?" I asked him wanting to break the silence that had settled over us.

"Actually no. I was just wondering what was taking you for so long. It's been more than fifteen minutes."

"Really?" I asked him.

I didn't even realize that I was gone that long. Anson and I must've really been in the moment. I shook my head trying to clear the thoughts from my mind. I grabbed Caleb's hand.

"Mind if they Sarah guys join us?" I asked him quietly.

He sighed.

"Sure why not."

He squeezed my hand and we turned to face Sarah and Carter.

"Would you two like to join us for dinner?" Caleb asked them.

Sarah looked at Carter and a message seemed to travel between them. Carter's eyebrows pulled down, but Sarah's eyebrows raised up. Finally Carter's face relaxed and Sarah smiled triumphantly.

"We would love to." Sarah said.

She turned her head towards Carter and kissed him. Both of their bodies seemed to relax when their lips touched. I couldn't help but envy them. They were so in sync, so in love. I couldn't even picture these two without each other.

Sarah and Carter had been going out since the beginning of our sophomore year in high school. They have never once gotten in a chaotic argument, never yelled at each other, cheated on each other, or broken up. Not once in their four years of dating. They were completely trusting of each other. They knew neither one would do something to hurt the other. Even with Sarah's unusual job, Carter didn't once object. If anything he backed her up and supported her.

They were also always together. Now that I recall it, the only time they weren't together was when Sarah was with me or either one of them were working. Still they would manage to see each other even during those times. I was so used to Carter's presence I saw him as a second Sarah. They were both so good at seeing people for who they really were. Guess it didn't surprise me when Carter told me he also didn't like Caleb.

In high school Carter and Sarah had been the golden couple and even now it was clear that they still were. For that I envied them. Their relationship was flawless, easy, and so natural. I would've felt the same about mine, but not since after my dad died. My relationship was on the rocks and I was just beginning to see that. I was beginning to notice things. Small clues that would eventually lead me to my end and to my heartache.
