Christian and I are having our first New Years together, we are watching the fireworks go off over the city tonight on his uncles boat. But just for today we are lounging around the pool and having a great feed with my family and a few of our close friends. Mum and dad always tell me about the parties they had here for New Years when I was a baby and everything else they used to do when they where teenagers. To think in the matter of months they will be together for what 20 years? I can't believe that they where together in high school and have been in love since then, even looking at them now they still look like the love struck teens they did back then, it's beautiful seeing my parents happy and knowing that one day I'll be married to the love of my life and just as happy as they are. While I was having my day dream about my future Christian had pulled me out of my previous thoughts.
"Carter, my uncle is sending a car to collect us in 15 minutes, are you ready?" I had my eyes closed and sitting under the umbrella by the pool not wanting to move from this comfort.
"Okay, I'll go get ready now" I managed to get up from the pool, I started to feel instantly dizzy so I sat back down for a few seconds and tried again. All of a sudden I had a wave of nausea come over me, I bolted to the closest toilet and disposed the bile that had arisen. I heard a light knock on the toilet door, slowly I had gotten up from the toilet floor and flushed the toilet then opened the door to see my mother with a highly concerned expression plastered on her face.
"Baby, what's wrong?" She said while pulling me into a warm embrace and rubbing my back.
"I don't know mum, maybe I was in the sun for too long and not drinking enough water and just a wave of sun stroke. I'll be okay I promise, I have to get ready for tonight with Christian." I kissed my dear mother on the cheek and disappeared up the stairs to my bedroom to get ready for my evening with Christian.
He is looking mighty fine in just a plain black tank top and black swim trunks with black flip flops while I sit next to this Greek God in a white dress.
"I heard you being sick this afternoon Carter and I'm worried, are you okay? We don't need to go out tonight." He said while holding my hand and rubbing his thumb against my skin.
"Christian we are already half way to the dock, we have to go out. I'm feeling fine and if I wasn't then we wouldn't have left the house. Lets just have a good night with your uncle on the boat and watch the fire works." I stretched up and kissed his cheek. He looked at me and shrugged his shoulders and continued to look out the window until we had finally arrived to the dock where his uncles boat stays.
"If you at all start to feel I'll just tell me and we will go home." Christian reassured me, kissed my forehead and lead me to his uncles boat.
"Hey uncle, how's it going?" Christian extended his hand to his uncle and exchanged pleasenturies about what they had been up to since they had last spoken or seen each other before we went abroad the boat and sailed out for the rest of the evening. This boat is incredible and I love it, the second time I have been on it and it's still as beautiful as it was then. I walked up to the second floor and walked into the bedroom that Christian and I had fooled around in that one time we where here and an instant smile had appeared on my face. As I started to walk into the bedroom admiring the same artwork that was on the walls last time I felt hands on my waist and pulled into a rock solid chest.
"What has gotten you so happy?" His warm breath skimmed my cool skin.
"Just the memory of us in here last time, that was quite an afternoon if I remember correctly." I felt his smile against my skin and it started to make me feel tingly inside.
"We could have those memories again if you want baby." He whispered in my ear as he started to slide my dress straps down my shoulders and fall down my slim body and pools around my feet.
"Christian wait, there's something I have to tell you." He stopped kissing me straight away and redressed me.
"Carter? Are you okay? What is it?" He sounds scared.
"I'm late."
"Late? Carter what do you mean by late? I'm kind of scared right now." I don't know how much more clear I could have make it to him.
"Christian my period is like a week late and I'm worried." In the dim lighting I see all the colour drain from his face.
"How could we be so stupid to let this happen. How come you didn't go on the pill Carter? It's not hard." Woah! Since when has this been all my fault. Before I could even say anything he started running his fingers through his hair and then he turned around and walked down stairs. I felt my eyes burn with unshed tears and before I could stop them they started to fall down my face.
"Christian wait please, lets talk about this." He didn't come back and he's not listening to me. I ran after him and he was out on the dock talking to his uncle. A white car that we have never seen before pulled up to the dock and a familiar person got out. It was Christians step dad Craig. I ran from the boat to the dock to get Christian and before I knew it, Craig had reached into his pants and pulled out a gun I heard Craig and Christian talking and yelling at each other and before I knew it I heard the trigger of the gun being pulled, my mind and body went into protective mode and I ran in front of Christian and pushed him out of the way. I felt this so very sharp pain in the top of my right shoulder, a pain I've never felt before. The pain was so extreme that I clutched my shoulder and fell to the floor in agony, I felt as if everything and everyone was drifting away from me.
"Oh shit CARTER" was the last thing I heard before I passed out.
