Without You

Chapter 47

We won.

"-Miss Carter can you take a second-"

"-Allison Carter can you-"

"-a few questions-"

"-please can-"

"-I need you to-"

"-Allison-"

"-Ms. Carter-"

Voices came from all directions as I try to take my way off the field. There are probably 20 different people with microphones coming at me.

"Carter, come here." Coach yells and I turn and jog over to him. "Stand on this bench and answer a few questions until you are sick of it and then just leave." He tells me and I nod and stand on the bench. This isn't my first ballgame, I have practice from being Samantha but Normally there aren't as many people there. The one time there was more when I punched the actor guy. There were lots of people there. "Do you want Jase to stand by you?" Coach asks and I shake my head.

"I'm a big girl, I can handle myself." I tell him and turn to all the people.

"Miss Carter-"

"What are-"

"Where is-"

I interrupt all the voices, "I will answer a few questions one at a time."

•-•-•-•-•

A man in a black suit stands up tall and jabs his microphone towards me. "Miss Carter, Did you expect the outcome of this game to be like it is?"

"Yes, I believed in my team and their athletic abilities. I felt strong coming into the first and second halves." I respond with my long blonde hair let loose and dangling on the sides of my face.

"What was Jake Evans' motive to punching you in the face prior to the start of the second half?" The same man asks again. Someone taps on my shoulder and I turn around to see Franklin Patapora looking up at me. I step off of the bench and the video camera captures Franklin whispering in my ear and my agitated face. I finally nod with an angry expression and get back on the bench.

"He and I are romantically involved and seeing Franklin kiss me made him angry." I simply stated with my face red.

"Romantically involved such as having sex?" The man asks.

"I feel as though that's not an appropriate question." I quickly respond with my face deepening the shade of red.

"Miss Carter are you a virgin?" A different man asks.

My face is the color of a firetruck at this point, "I thought these questions would concern football not my personal life and that is entirely unprofessional of you to ask."

"She is but won't be for long." A boy says on my right who is Chase.

"Not if I take her first." Jake comes on my other side and says. I look down at my feet and bite my lip.

"Jake and Chase will you both kindly leave this area." I calmly say and Jake step off the bench but not without dragging me away with him. I swiftly kick him and he falls over. Chase cautiously steps off as I get back up without taking a second glance at Jake.

"What's going on between you and Franklin Patapora?" Jamison from earlier asks me.

"That's for us to figure out." I simply state. "Any more football questions? Alright well thank you." I ask and don't let anyone answer. I casually walk over a Jake lying on the ground.

I turn off the tv in the hotel room I'm currently alone in and unlock my phone. I see a text from Nick with a link. The link happens to be a story about me. Like I didn't have enough drama in my life, Franklin freaking Patapora had to create this tension between me and the team.

Allison Carter is having an Affair?

Allison Carter was seen conversing with opposing team quarterback Franklin Patapora prior to the game Monday. She seemed to know the youngest Patapora and laughed with the boys. Later in a conference she stated she is 'romantically involved with Jake Evans' but we are unsure if that has continued now that he punched her and was benched the second half. Franklin and Allison seemed to share an intimate moment in the middle of the football field prior to the start of the game. After the kiss Franklin left a dazed and confused Allison behind on the field.

Each sentence followed a different image of me. The first two were of me and smiling and laughing with Henry and Franklin. The next picture is of me standing on the bench and a video clip is included. The 4th picture was my least favorite, the kiss looked so real. Everything but my arms dangling on my sides. Otherwise it definitely looked real. The last picture was me standing alone on the field with my eyes wide staring after a happy looking Franklin.

AllieC: Jase can you come over...?

TheOtherCarter: One sec, anything for you little Allie.

About a minute later Jason came in my room. I was lying entirely under my covers so I came out.

"Can we go somewhere, I need to talk to you. Please alone." I quietly say. 20 minutes of walking in silence we enter an empty park. I take a seat on the grass and he follows.

"What is it?" Jason asks with almost concern in his voice.

"You can't give me pity, you have to treat me the same. I'm going to tell you something I have never told anyone okay? The whole world knows half of it but I need someone's guidance to figure out some stuff." I tell him and he simply nods.

"I'm going to tell you it all from the beginning okay?"
