Drama, Love, and Superman (A One Direction love story)

Chapter 39

Cara's POV

I feel like I'm going to throw up. Don't get me wrong, Louis is great but I can't handle that right now. He can't love me, he doesn't love me. All the guys who have loved me have left me and I don't think I can handle that with Louis. I wouldn't be able to handle losing him. I don't want to get too close...my heart can't handle it. I know I said I thought I love him but hearing it from him just brought me back to reality.

I always tell myself I'm going to keep myself guarded, I'm not going to let myself get hurt again and I'm going to let myself break but I did it again and I'm scared it's going to end badly. The thing about Daniel wasn't that we just dated, I liked him, and we broke up. We dated for two years. He was my life for two years; I thought we were going to get married, honestly. Everything was perfect and yet our entire relationship, he was just waiting to have sex with me then leave me. I found out he had also been screwing other girls while we were together but I don't understand why he would stay with me for so long just to fuck me over. That's what hurt the most is the fact that he never truly cared. Maybe Louis is different but it still scares me.

I walk back to Louis's bedroom and sit down and Mel crawls onto my lap. I smile down at him and scratch his ears. I don't know what I'm going to say when we Skype tonight. I grab my clothes from yesterday, throw them on, feed Mel, and start my walk home. I go in through the back door and my parents are both standing in the kitchen and their heads jerk to me. I stop in my tracks as my mom runs up to me.

"Jesus Cara! Where have you been all night?" My mom exclaims.

"I was just at a friend's house." I say.

"Why didn't you tell us?" We've been up all night and your phone has been off! What were you thinking?" My dad says and I shrug.

"I don't know it was an impulse thing I didn't think about telling you, I'm sorry." I say.

"If this has anything to do with that Louis boy I don't think you should be seeing him." My dad says and my eyes widen.

"It didn't have anything to do with him!" I say.

"Then why do you smell like cologne?" My dad asks and I shake my head.

"He's on tour I just stopped by his place to feed Mel and I fell asleep I'm sorry." I say.

"You're grounded for two weeks, Cara." He says.

"I'm eighteen! You can't just ground me I'm not a child!" I exclaim and he rolls his eyes.

"As long as you live under this roof, I can do whatever I want." He says and I shake my head and go upstairs. My parents are being ridiculous I was out for one night, no big deal. I get it they were worried but they're overreacting. I grab my phone and turn it on, 49 missed calls from Grayson. Lovely. I call him back and it takes him a while to answer.

"Hey!" He exclaims through the phone.

"Hi." I say.

"What's up?" He asks.

"Uh nothing much." I say.

"Are you okay?" He asks and I pick at my nail polish.

"Yeah, fine. Hey, when do you want to bring my clothes over?" I ask.

"I can bring them by today." He says and I nod.

"Okay sounds cool, text me when you're here." I say and he hangs up. I didn't really know what to say for some reason. Once he texted me I went downstairs and opened the door and he was standing there with my bag in his hand and a smile. "Thanks."

"Are you okay, Cara?" He asks.

"Yeah, I'm good. Thanks for bringing my clothes by." I say and he nods and we say goodbye and I dump my clothes in the dirty laundry and head upstairs to shower and change. I did my hair for later tonight so I wouldn't have to worry about it then and applied some makeup and went downstairs to get some breakfast. After I ate I got a call from an unknown number.
