Secrets *WIP*

IV

Not all bad people are bad. Some are just good people who just make bad choices. One bad choice and they are frowned on by everyone. People don't want an explanation, they just assume they are bad.

"I'm leaving now, don't you dare leave this house," my mom yelled from down stairs.
"Yeah what ever," I muttered under my breath. Once I heard the door slam and I left my bedroom. As I make it down stairs I find trash all over the floor.
"Great, just great." I sigh in frustration as I start to pick up the trash. Just then someone started banging on my door.

"Ugh what now, who is it?"

"It's Carter."
Carter, why in the world would Carter be here. If his mom knew she would freak out. I open the door and say, "You can't be here!"

"Yeah I know so let me in before anyone sees me," I quickly pull him into the house.

"Are you crazy?"

"Maybe just a little," he glanced around my house. "Yes I know it's a mess in here, I was just cleaning when someone interrupted me."

"You know I've been known to clean so well that you can eat off the floor afterwards," I giggled at his comment. I put my hand over my mouth realizing that I had just giggled. I could see a smirk had begun to grow on his face. "Well, get to cleaning Mr.Richmond." He smiled at me and began to pick up trash.

I go to turn on the radio. As we clean we dance and sing along to the songs. This was the first time since Marcine disappeared that I've genuinely been happy.

After about 30 minutes of awful dancing and singing we were done and I could see the floor once more. I almost collapsed on the couch with a smilie on my face as Carter did the same next to me. "Thanks for helping."

"It's no biggie."

"I know you didn't come over here to help me clean, so why did you come by?"

"I got bored and it was annoying listening to my mom talk so I decided to come here."

"What if your mom finds out your here."

"I don't care to be honest I'm so tired of her bullshit."

"Does she know?"

"About?" He gives me a confused look.

"The accident, that it wasn't you."

"Oh no, my dad didn't bring it up to anyone so I haven't; well except you and the others," he stopped talking and he looked as if he was thinking about what he was what to say. "I'm pretty sure the truth will come out soon anyway," he strugged his shoulders.

I didnt even think about that. Soon everyone will know that Mr.Richmond killed my sister and dad. What will happen to him? Would he go to jail? Would Carter get in trouble for lying to the police? The idea of Carter leaving again scared me for some reason. My thoughts were interpreted my knock on the door. "Stay here, it could be a neighbor." I told Carter as I walked towards the door.

"Who is it?"

"It's Reggie babe open up."
I sighed in relief happy that it wasn't a neighbor, but then realized that he would be angry to see Carter here.

"Hold on let me go put on sweater."

"No you don't have to."

"I'm on my period," I blurted out but then strongly regretted saying that as soon as it came out of my mouth. All I could hear was Carter laughing so hard behind me. I shot him an evil glare and pointed for him to go upstairs. His mouth quickly shut and he tiptoed upstairs. I slowly opened the door.
