Chapter 8

I know nothing's making sense. For tonight let's just pretend

Harry

Why has my life become so complicated all of a sudden?

Ever since she came my brain is filled with so many questions and very little answers. I thought I had everything mapped out with Peyton until I left high school but when Carter came along she confused me and I wanted to know more about her and the more I knew the deeper I fell.

I haven't gotten through to her full but I plan on finding out who she really is under all her depressing thoughts.

I had been in a bad mood all day due to my argument with Peyton. She said some pretty fucked up things about her and it took me everything to not beat the living daylight of her after every disgusting word spilled from her mouth.

At the minute, me and Carter were sat in our usual spot under the tree, studying. We weren't really speaking very much but we were sat in a comfortable silence and as long as she was here with me, I felt fine. I didn't have the need to answer my unanswered questions or think about Peyton being a fake-ass bitch.

"Penny for your thoughts?" I heard Carter whisper. We were layed down, her back against my chest as I leant on the tree trunk.

"I'm fine." I assured her , even though in the real world it was far from the truth but in my world with her it was an understatement.

"You've been really quiet..."

"I've just been thinking about my argument with Peyton."

"Oh." Was all she could reply with. I don't blame her, if i was in her position I wouldn't give two flying fucks about Peyton's feelings.

"Whatcha reading there, bookworm?" She giggled at my nickname for her.

"It's called Paper towns. It's about a girl who leaves clues for this guy and he goes on an adventure to find her." She fiddles with her fingers as she tell me about the story. "You should read it, I think you'd like it."

"Well if Carter Jones recommends it then I'm sure it's good."

Carter smiled and went back to reading her book, whilst I sat there with a beautiful girl and a thousand thoughts on my mind.

Carter

Harry has been acting far from his usual self since his argument with Peyton and I wish he would just tell me what he's thinking about. But I understand that it's not that easy to tell a person everything on your mind, I've had to deal with that problem plenty of times.

I was slowly making my way towards my Ancient History class and as I walked past the boys locker room I heard people talking on the other side of the door.

"I'm sorry okay? I didn't mean to upset you baby." I instantly recognised the raspy voice. Harry.

"So Carter means nothing to you?" My heart stopped at the bitchy, high pitched girl he was with. Peyton. Peyton and Harry. Harry and Peyton. Together. When I thought I was hurt enough, what came next had me lying on the floor dead.

"I promise Carter Jones means nothing to me."

There was a long silence, which probably meant they were making out. How could he do this to me? The one person who I actually thought I was beginning to put all my trust in.

Instead of standing there and feel sorry for myself, I carried on towards Ancient History but his spiteful words still lingered in my mind.

I promise Carter Jones means nothing to me...
