New Guy

Chapter 3

Here are some Carters POV hope you enjoy!

****************

Its been two month since Carter started school with me. We are like best friends now. I still don’t know much about him but I keep trying. He always hangs out at my house. I really am falling for his green eyes and shaggy black hair. He doesn’t smile that often but when he does my heart stops. I think of him all the time. I wish I could read his mind, then I would know how he feels about me. Maybe he feels the same maybe he doesn’t. There really is only one thing I can do and that is let time help me figure this one out.

Carters POV

She is the most beautiful girl I have ever met. The way she can make my worst days end up being my best days. I love her so much. But I cant let myself get carried away. I cant let her know who I really am. I am still plagued by nightmares of that night. The night my mother and step father both died. The memories of that night will always be with me but I know it wasn't my fault I did this to protect myself. But it still haunts me.

It was a bad day for my stepfather he was a mechanic and he couldn’t fix a car a client brought him. He was so irritated. He started hitting my mom and I couldn't stop him he was stronger than me but then she hit the floor. My step father walked away and left her there. So I ran to her and I tried to get her up but she wouldn't wake up. I started to cry and ran after him.

I tried to push the memory’s away of that. It was the worst day of my life. But I was happy that it was finally over. I was free. But I still couldn’t let Jess know what happened I had to distance my self from her. So I ran from her house. I went to mine and stayed there for a week.

Jess's POV

Carter was missing for a week. I tried calling him and texting him. If I knew where he lived I would have went to find him. He showed up after the week of no school. I tried to ask him why he wasn't here. He just ignored me and wouldn’t even come sit with me and my friends. It kind of made me sad because I couldn’t go another minute without him. He was so important to me I had to find out what I did wrong to be ignored like I was.

I marched up to him the next day at lunch it was a Wednesday so most people were gone for off campus lunch. I sat next to Carter and asked why he wasn't talking to me. He grabbed me by my arm and dragged me off to the opposite side of the lunchroom where he made me feel like I was worthless. He said “ITS NONE OF YOUR BUISNESS WHAT I DO OR IF I TALK TO YOU MIND YOUR OWN BUISNESS!” he then walked away just like that I had no friends again. I wanted to cry but I couldn’t do it in front of the people in the lunchroom.

I got home right away after school ran up to my room and locked the door. Once the lock was in place I cried for hours. I ignored my parents when they told me it was time for dinner I ignored everything. I didn’t go to school on Thursday because I didn’t want to see my ex-best friend. My mother made me go to school on Friday. I ignored everything and everyone. I loved this guy and we were just becoming friends and he shut me down. I felt useless. I tried to suck it up at school. Try and be my usual self. I hung out a lot with Alexis she was the closest one of my friends. When we were hanging out she knew something was wrong. Alexis just knew. She asked “Why don’t you hang with carter anymore? You two were inseparable! Everyone thought you two would end up a couple.”

She knew so I had to start explaining how I had felt about Carter He was my best friend and I did love him so I don’t know how I just let that happen to our friendship. I had to try and get him to be friends with me again. And I knew just how.

Carters POV

I did it. I distanced myself from her. The hurt in her eyes killed me. It killed me everyday after that not to be able to talk to her. I missed her so much. I walked through the halls with no one and I acted like nothing bothered me or was bothering me when there really was. It was eating away at me I wanted to be able to tell her everything that happened and how it wasn’t my fault. I felt like I disappointed every one in my life. I felt like the definition of a disappointment.

I HATED MYSELF.

Jess's POV

At the pep assembly for the football championship I sat next to Carter. I told him “We need to talk after the assembly.” All he did was nod. I didn’t say another word after that. When the assembly was done I had what I wanted to say all planned out. I wanted to tell him I loved him and couldn’t live without him.

But he wouldn’t let me talk. Once we got out in the hallway he told me he had something to say first I was confused but then he said it “I love you Jess.” then he bent down to give me the best kiss I have ever had. I was so happy I couldn’t speak all I managed to say was “I love you too Carter.” it had to be the happiest moment of my life. Everything bad just seemed to melt away.
