Adopting Tragedy

Chapter 12

“What the hell is wrong with your eyes?” Louis asked as Jacob shined a light into them. It was burning like hell. “They’re glowing a bright white color.” I wacked Jacob’s hand away, closing my eyes tight.

“I don’t know what happened,” I replied honestly.

“Animal testing,” Jo spoke up. All eyes turned towards her has her voice became more vivid. “Those hospitals out there are to test radioactive chemicals on animals. Make them supernatural creatures or something like that. We’ve been doing research for some time now. I didn’t think they would actually test on a human.”

“Well what did you think?” Harry argued. “They’ve been chasing Carter for so god damn long. How did you not think she would finally get caught.” Harry was just as upset as everyone else in the room.

“You need to calm down mate,” Zayn calmed him. But that wasn’t going to be enough for Harry. He stormed off, going into a separate room.

“Well there isn’t much we can do,” Jacob sighed, finally pulling away from my face. “I guess we just go back to America, get some work done, rest a little. I bet you miss your kids.” Oh god did I miss my kids so much. “We will let you get some rest. We leave tomorrow morning.” They turned off the lamp, leaving Niall and I in a room by ourselves.

Niall walked over slowly, sitting down next to me. I gently sighed, laying my head on his shoulder. “I’m so sorry,” I apologized. He leaned his head down on mine, wrapping an arm around my shoulders. I was so upset right now. What was going to happen to me? Am I even human anymore? So many questions that couldn’t be answered.

“Why?” He questioned. “This wasn’t your fault.”

“I feel like it is though.” I should have told him. I should have told everyone. But I’m a stupid stubborn girl and don’t know when to quit. Or where to start. I don’t know anything do I?

“I should have told you. I lied and that’s not okay,” I cried to myself.

“Carter,” he moved his hand so I could face him. “I don’t care. All I care about is that you’re here, with me, in the same room, same bed, same Carter as before and that you’re alive. That’s all I care about. I love you alright? I’m so upset with myself for not paying attention. I should have done more.” I couldn’t have Niall feeling bad for himself. I cared way too much about him for him to be thinking that.

“How’s Hanna?” I asked, trying to think of something good.

“Good,” he cried a little. Sobbed even. “She misses you like crazy.” Then I broke. I started crying.

“I miss my baby.” I leaned into Niall, letting him rest his hands around me.

“I missed you too baby. We all did.”
