CONSTANTINE'S POV

Sitting on my bed I  contemplate whether or not calling Recce was a good idea. I have no idea if he would tell Carter what we had talked about or if he could keep his word and not tell her. Finally my mind is made up. I have to know what was going on with Carter. I have to know who hurt my sunshine.

Picking my phone up from off my bed, I dial Reeces number my hands slightly shaking.

    "Hello?" A groggy voice answers.

"Umm..." god why is this so much harder then in your head? "Hey Reece it's Constantine, Carters neighbor."

     "Yeah I know, Is Carter okay?" His voice is obviously becoming distressed and I feel bad for making him worried but I need my answers.

"Yeah she's fine man. I have a question and I need you to be honest here.. who is Bea? And why does Carter keep on getting texts addressed to her?"

The line went silent.

"Recce? ...Reece you there man?"

    "What-what did the messages say?"

My guard automatically goest up at his scared tone. And why does he sound terrified to hear the answer to his question? "Real mean shit, stuff that should never be said to a girl."

     "She changed her name a couple months ago to Carter, said she needed a change" his voice cracked and it sounded like it pained him to get the sentence out.

He is lying. Or not telling me the whole truth. About what part or all of it I didn't know. "Right, well thank man for clearing that up. And if you don't mind let's keep this conversation between me and you yeah?" My tone is hopeful but I have a sneaking suspicion that he wouldn't keep his mouth shut.

"Yeah no problem."

My eyes lock into Carter the second I walk into the classroom. She looks exhausted. Her hair is hanging limp and her eyes almost look dead and so sad that it made my heart hurt. I just want to gather her in my arms and tell her that it will be OK, but I know that for her to not know that I called Reece I had to keep up the front that I was so upset with her.

Apparently that wasn't going to be hard seeing as she doesn't look up once from her desk the entire class. Resisting the urge to follow her out of the class I let Blake pull me aside.

"Man what the hell did you do to Carter?"

Do to Carter? What the hell is he talking about?

"What do you mean?"

"She's been ignoring me and the guys the past couple of days." He continues sheepishly, "We just kinda figured you two had a argument."

"I didn't do shit man, she just started acting all secretive and then stopped fucking talking to me!"

I didn't realize how loud my voice had gotten till I came out of the haze I was in and saw Blake smirking while everyone else had stopped walking and was staring at me.
