Me and Carter were out to
His house after school since he didn't have practice today and I wasn't doing anything. Usually when we were at his house,we just sat on his bed,did homework and just talked about our future. I actually think I am in love with Carter Santiago.

Carter opened his front door to his house and Lucy walked in behind him. Hey mom! I'm home! Carter yelled. His mom was laying down on the couch asleep with the tv on. Carter walked in the living room and shut off the tv and covered his mother with the blanket.

Carter was so loving and forgiving. His mom,Diane had left him at his grandparents house when he was younger and she never came back...well she did but 1 month later. Carter didn't forgive her right away but eventually he did because he feels like everyone should have chances. If they deserved them and his mother deserved the chance.

Carter and Lucy walked upstairs to his room and sat on the bed. Carter closed his room door as he usually did. Diane trusted that him and Lucy wouldn't do anything. Lucy pulled out her notebook and Carter did the same.
I love you! Carter said staring at Lucy who wasn't paying any attention to him staring. I love you too. Lucy chuckled looking up. Carter kissed her cheek and took out a pencil.
They did their homework for maybe an hour and then they sat on his bed.

Usually when we just sat on his bed,we talked about us...what we wanted to be in life...I feel really comfortable around Carter as he makes me feel like the talks we have are in a safe space and it's just between us!

When we get older,we're gonna get married! I know that for sure! Carter said smiling. Lucy just laughed. I love you! You put so much thought into these conversations! Lucy said smiling. Well it's for you! Why wouldn't I!? Carter said smiling. Lucy grabbed his hand and smiled. Their hands interlocked. Carter then kissed Lucy's hands interlocked with his.

I know I wanted to marry this young boy who had nothing but time!
