Chapter 13 - Nice Morning

- The next morning -

I was awoken by the sound of laughter coming from downstairs.

I reached for my phone that was underneath my pillow to check what time it is.

Once my hand came in contact with my phone, I grasped onto it and pulled it out to check the time.

5:24 AM

I groaned and slowly sat up.

I scratched my head in annoyance.

Why would someone be up this early? Laughing?!

I glared at the door and grumpily got out of bed.

I trudged my way towards the door and opened it wide so that I could exit out.

I made my way downstairs, and once I reached the living room, I saw my mom sitting on a chair, and Jeffery sitting across from her on a different chair, laughing together.

Once they noticed me, their smiles slowly faded.

"Are you okay Carrie? You don't usually wake up this early" My mom asked

I nodded and gave her a small smile. "Yeah, I'm okay. I just woke up because I heard laughing, I wanted to see what was going on" I said

My mom frowned, and at the corner of my eye, I saw Jeffery frown too.

"I'm sorry sweetie. I didn't realize that we were that loud" My mom apologized

"It's okay. I needed to get used to waking up early anyways" I said and chuckled a little

"Alright. There's leftover pancakes in the fridge. Just warm it up" My mom told me

I nodded and walked to the kitchen.

I opened the fridge and took out two pancakes.

I placed it on a glass plate and put it into the microwave.

As the pancakes was heating up, I took an apple from the fridge and sat down at the table while eating it.

As I was eating it, Jeffery came and took a seat in front of me.

"Hi Carrie" He said softly

I looked up at him and stopped eating my apple.

"Hi" I said

"I know that we didn't have a good start when we first met. But I need you to understand that what happened in the past, stays in the past. And you know how sorry I am. Can you please just give me a chance?" He asked with pleading eyes

I looked at him and sighed. "I don't know.. This may have been the first time I met you, but I hated knowing that my only father has abandoned me. It'll take me a while to get over it, and forgive you. But I will somehow. Just please be patient and give me time" I said honestly

Jeffery nodded his head. "Of course Carrie. Anything. I'm here if anything, and I'm not going anywhere" He said

I nodded my head and smiled at him a little. "Thanks for understanding" I said

"No problem. I hope we can spend more time with eachother" He said

"Yeah, sure.." I said

- 7:46 AM -

"I'll see you later mom" I said as I placed a kiss on her cheek

"See you later Jeffery" I said and waved at him before heading out the door

I saw Taylor's car and went straight into the passenger's seat.

"GOOD MORNING BEST FRIEND" Taylor screamed happily

I covered my ears and groaned a little.

"Omg Taylor, I'm like a foot away from you, no need to scream" I said irritated

"Whoa.. No curse words?" She asked shocked

I shook my head. "Nah. I don't feel like being mean. And I woke up early, so I don't feel that tired" I said as she began to drive

"You woke up early?!" She exclaimed

"Yes I did" I said and chuckled

"Whoaa.. It's like I'm meeting a whole different Carrie" She said with wide eyes

I shook my head. "Nope. I'm still the same alright" I said

"Where were you yesterday?" She asked

"Oh.. Long story. We'll talk about it later" I said

She nodded. "Alright"

- At School -

"I'll see you at 5th period" Taylor said and waved bye before turning her back to me and walking straight into the girls restroom

I turned around to walk to my locker, but stopped when I saw a tall figure in front of me.

"Hey kitten" A guy voice said deeply

I looked up and was greeted with brown eyes of the one and only, Cameron Dallas.

"Hey Cam" I replied and passed by him to get to my locker

He followed me until I reached my locker.

I turned the padlock to my passcode and opened it.

"Yesterday was fun... Wanna do it again today?" Cam asked

I looked at him for a second, and then continued with what I was doing.

"No. Not today" I said and slammed my locker shut once I got what I needed

Cameron looked down at me and frowned.

"Why not?" He whined

"Because I already got in trouble. I don't wanna get in trouble again" I said

Cameron sighed and then nodded.

"Okay... But can we hangout at lunch today?" He asked

"Umm.. I don't know because I'm hanging out with my best friend Taylor" I told him

"Oh.. Okay" He said sadly

"You can hangout with us during lunch if you want" I said with a small smile

He looked at me and smiled widely.

"Of course!" He said happily

I laughed and nodded my head.

"Okay" I said as soon as the bell rang, telling us that we needed to go to homeroom

"See you later Cam" I said and waved before walking away to my homeroom class

Hey loves! I'm sorry if this chapter seems a bit borning. I'm really sleepy right now, so I had to rush it.
