Childhood Sweethearts

Chapter Eleven

Dedication: JustPriya for the awesome cover on the side.

Recap:

"That Aiden guy was never going to stand a chance." he said. I swear I could almost hear the sympathy in his voice. "We're like Noah and Ally. No one can meddle with us."

I squeezed my eyes shut. The reference to Ally and Noah was scarily accurate in our predicament. They were so deeply in love. Not one person could be without the other.

Were Aiden and I broken up?

Did this mean Carter wanted to get back together? 

As in actual together, together?

'Not one person could be without the other'. 

Harry Potter instantly flashed into my head. 'One cannot live, while the other survives.'

Who knew my life would actually be relatable to Harry Potter...

----------------------------------

The sun soaked into my skin as I sighed, reclining further back onto my chair. The best thing about staying at Carter's house, was his gigantic, amazing pool that I got to paddle in and lay around whenever I felt like.

I had my sunglasses perched on my nose, and a cup of lemon lime and bitters placed firmly by my side. Life was bliss. Well, if you didn't count that I cheated on my boyfriend with my ex-bestfriend/boyfriend and now everything was messed up.

It had been three days, since Aiden threw his fist into Carter's face, upon hearing the news of our... incident.

Aiden wasn't at school the first day, avoided me the second and now it was a beautiful Saturday morning. I hadn't seen either of the boys and it was great. I was spending the morning with me, myself and I.

I'm not sure if Aiden and I had officially broken up, so I was attempting to avoid Carter. But seeing as we live in the same house and go to the same school, with half of our classes together, you can see how this may be an unsuccessful endeavour. Although I had tried to avoid him, I ended up spending most of my time with him.

It was actually nice.

We just lazed around, watching movies, cooking delicious baked goods and just talking like we hadn't in what felt like a life time. I had made sure there were no 'incidents' again, however. Was not going to go down the possible cheat road again.

We weren't animals. We could hang out without throwing ourselves at each other. Or... so I hope. I sighed, running my fingers through my long, blonde hair. Just spending time with him had been amazing.

If things weren't already over with Aiden, they needed to be. Even if I still felt some attraction towards him, it was like nothing to what I felt for Carter. Like comparing a flea to an elephant. Harsh, but I'm being truthful here.

Therefore, I was attempting to spend my day without either of the boys in my life and enjoy my own company for a few hours.

This lasted about twenty minutes.

"CANNON BALL!" a voice boomed, causing my body to jolt in alarm.

And that's when the ice, cold water splashed across my naked flesh. A scream tore from my lips as I scrambled away from the water. Carter emerged, flicking his hair, sending a shower of water droplets around him.
