Irreplaceable

Chapter Fourteen

Carter's POV

The next day, Colin surprisingly came to see me.

I could move my arms and hands now. I still couldn't talk. The doctor had given me some medicine and it helped a lot.

I didn't break anything, luckily. I couldn't do any contact sports for a month because I could easily develop a concussion. The doctor said I could continue with dance after resting for a week once I was released. It was a good thing tryouts lasted for a month.

Colin entered my room and sat in the chair next to me. He had been crying. His hair was a mess. I knew that he pulled his hair when he was stressed.

"Carter, I missed you so much." He whispered. He rubbed my cheek.

I grabbed his hand and held it.

"I know you're with Chase and I'm with Kylie, but I will always love you. You will always have a place in my heart. I thought you were dead when your mom first told me. I cried for you and hell, I never cry," he looked at the ceiling, "I need you to find your old self. The Carter you are now is not the Carter I fell in love with three years ago. I want that Carter back. I want my princess back." He kissed my hand and I squeezed his hand.

I tried to pull him closer to me. He got the hint and hovered over me. The look in my eyes told him that I loved him, too. He leaned forward and kissed me. I wanted to kiss him back, but I couldn't move.

He sat with me for about an hour before leaving for weight training.

Three hours later, Chase came to see me. I didn't want to talk to him, and if I could've, I would've had him escorted out. He stood up and talked to me.

"Carter, I heard about the crash. I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I don't know if you can hear me or not, but I want to get this all out while I have the guts. I never liked you as more than a friend. Angel agreed to help me get a scholarship to Berkeley if I helped her get revenge on you. I don't know what you did, but please don't tell her any of this if you can hear me. If I had known that all of this would end up with you in a hospital bed, I never would've gone through with it. This isn't worth the scholarship," he paused for a few seconds, "I never even really slept with Angel. We just made it look like we did. We have a history. Ask me about it and I'll tell you. I honestly despise Angel and if I didn't need that scholarship, I would've stopped all this from happening."

I was crying now. Angel had been my friend for four years. This hurt a lot. I wasn't even upset about Chase not having feelings for me because I honestly didn't have feelings for him either.

"You were so good to me, Carter. You treated me so well before we were even a couple," he put air quotes around couple, "I wish I hadn't been so self- centered. I wish this all never happened and we could start over again and be friends for real this time. I really did enjoy your company. I am so sorry I did this to you. You didn't deserve this." He patted my hand and left the room.

Chase was truly sorry. I could tell. I wanted to know what history he and Angel had. He threw her against the wall with a lot of force. If he didn't already break her skull, I would be happy to do it.

I also wanted to know why Angel hated me. I was always nice to her. She was the one who screwed me over. She ruined my life. She got what she wanted, but I had an agenda of my own now. Angel can celebrate her victory for now, but it wasn't going to last.

I didn't even care so much about Chase. I forgave him, but I did not forgive Angel. Once I got out of here, I was going to take back what was mine. I was going to get Colin back, fix my life, and make Angel pay.

I had one more week in this hell hole. Once, I got out I was going to dominate.

My senior year may be bad now but it would end with a bang.
