Chapter Four

She woke up with a pounding head.

“What happened last night?” she groaned, pulling her blankets over her head.

“Would you just shut the hell up?” an unfamiliar voice snapped. She quickly pulled the blankets off her head and sat up, taking in her surroundings.

She let out a relieved sigh.

She was fully clothed, thank god, and Carter was sound asleep next to her. The unfamiliar voice belonged to one of the guys on the floor; there was a small group of people left over from last night’s party.

She shook Carter awake.

“Carter? Where are we?” she whispered. He sat up and looked around. He frowned.

“You know what?” he asked. “I don’t actually know. I can’t even remember what happened. Can you?” He looked questioningly at her.

She shook her head. “If I knew, I wouldn’t be asking.”

He continued to frown and shrugged. “Let’s get out of here.”

She nodded and grabbed the hand he was offering her. “I agree,” she said. “It’s kind of freaky, not knowing what happened last night. Do you think we were drugged?”

He shrugged, but looked sceptical. “I dunno. Maybe. I think we just got wasted. If we weren’t wasted, my head wouldn’t feel like someone’s driving a jackhammer through it.”

He towed her out of the bedroom, and down the hallway.

“You know,” he said casually, “I think this is T-Man’s place.”

“What makes you think that?” she asked.

“Dunno,” he replied. “But it makes sense. He was throwing the party, so we were more likely to go back to his place.”

She nodded and chewed on the inside of her cheek thoughtfully. She was about to reply, when a naked young woman ran up to Carter.

“Carter! You can’t leave yet!” she whispered as she giggled. “We never played that game of Truth or Dare you promised!”

He gulped and took a step back. “Do I know you?” he asked.

Her big grin was instantly replaced by a wobbling bottom lip, and tears forming in her eyes.

“Carter!” she whimpered. “We had sex just last night!”

Kaitlyn frowned and looked at Carter, whose face had such an expression of fear on it.

“Uh,” he said, his eyes darting around the room. “Katie, we need to go. Now.”

Kaitlyn almost giggled. He looked so terrified of this crying girl in front of him. His face was priceless.

“Ok,” she said, tugging on his hand. He turned around and raced to the back door, the fear never leaving his face. When they had made it outside, he breathed a quick sigh, before running around to the front of his house.

He was not impressed when he found that his car was nowhere to be seen.

After the extremely long walk back to the abandoned warehouse, both Carter and Kaitlyn were overjoyed to find his car where they left it, and all in one piece.

“Thank god!” he muttered. Kaitlyn felt just as relieved. Carter’s car was his life.

“I’m not letting my baby out of my sight ever again,” he told Kaitlyn, unlocking the car. She just rolled her eyes, knowing he meant the car, and not her.
