The Boy in Glasses (The Love Story)

Chapter 14: Journeying Alone

All of our mouths were dropped. Mine, my dad's, Carter's, Lola' s. (I even think I saw the baby's little mouth widen.)

I broke the silence." Well what are we doing here just standing here? Let's go!"

The officer agreed. "Yes. We can take the police cars."

My dad put us on pause. "Wait! What about Lola?And the baby!?!"

He was right. He had a new daughter now. He couldn't just abandon her.

Lola interrupted. "The doctor is here now. You guys should go."

My dad looked at her. "Really?"

She looked over at me with a smile. "Really." (That lesbian whore wasn't so bad after all)

The police officer cleared his throat. "Are we going or not? Let's go people!"

Everyone started running out the door and piling in the police cars.

Dad rode with two other officers, while me and Carter rode with the head officer, Officer James.

As we were driving, I tapped on Officer James' shoulder.

"Um, Officer James, is my mom...."

He looked back at me. "We don't know  sweetheart. We have a patrol group already down there."

I leaned my head on the car window.

Carter nudged my arm. " Hey. You nervous?"

"A little. I haven't seen my mom in 9 years. I don't know what I'm gonna say to her. She might not even be alive."

He looked me in the eyes. "Everything's going to be fine."

He grabbed my hand. " We're in this together."

I smiled and laid my head on his shoulder. He didn't seem to mind so I left it there.

As we were driving, I thought about how my mom would react to me  when she saw me. I didn't even know how I'd react when I saw her. All I knew was that I was gonna see my mom after 9 years. And I was gonna hug her and tell her I still loved her.

An hour later, we arrived at the beach. I jumped out the car and searched for one of the officers from the patrol. As Carter got out, he helped me look.

He pointed. " Over there!"

I turned around. There was a police officer waving to us from beyond a distance.

"That's where the old lighthouse is. My mom used to take me there all the time. Of course she would be there!"

I started running towards the lighthouse. Carter trailed behind me with the officer speed walking behind us. (He really needed to lay off the donuts.)

I was just a couple of yards away from the patrol members.

Carter began to paint. "Halo wait up!"

I turned my head back while running. "No waiting Carter! I've waited 9 years to see my mom and I can finally tell her I lo-"

My mouth dropped.

I fell to my knees, and put my hands over my eyes as my tears soaked the sand.

Carter caught up with me and saw me laying on the ground crying. He looked up and his hand clasped his mouth.

Up in a tree, was my mom, hung by a rope around her neck.

"She killed herself. SHE KILLED HERSELF!?!"

I felt my heart sank. My tears turned into sobs as i just laid there, my hand covering my heart.

I turned around. There was Carter crouched down beside me. His face was wet with tears as he opened his arms up.

I fell into his arms as he pulled me closer so my head touched his chest.

"WHAT DID I DO CARTER?!?WHAT DID I DO THAT MADE HER KILL HERSELF!?!?"

Carter wiped my tears away with his hands. "Nothing Halo. She loved you. So much."

He sat down next to me as I heard something crumple beneath him.

"Wait *sniff. What was that?"

He moved out of the way as I  looked over. I dug through the sand and found a crushed notebook engraved with the words Heather's Fantasies on it.

"This was my mom's. She wrote her fantasies down too."

I opened it to the front page. There was a letter addressed to me.

   Dear Halo,
          By the time you're reading this, you'll probably have found out. Well I'm so sorry Halo. And I want you to know that I meant what I said to you. None of this was your fault. In fact I hesitated to do this because of you. I loved you so much and didn't want to do this. No matter what you think Halo, I love you. I always have. And I always will.

I ran up to my mom's body.

"I LOVE YOU TOO MOM!!!!"

I laid underneath my mom's body and held the notebook up to my heart. I cried there for who knows how long.

Carter came over and laid there with me.

"I'm so sorry about your mom Halo. I can't even imagine what that's like."

I turned around to face him. "It's alright. I've still got my dad. I've got a new sister. And I've got you."

He pulled me into his face as his lips moved along my mouth and down to my neck.

The next day, I woke up early and asked Carter if he needed a ride to school.Thirty minutes later I picked him up at the library.

"Hey. You okay? I was surprised you were going to school today."

"Yeah."

I hadn't told Carter yet. The truth was, I loved him. And I was gonna miss him.

"Carter?"

He looked at me concerned. "Yeah?"

"Carter, I just want you to know that I like you. And that I'll never forget you."

He seemed confused. "What are you talking about."

I shook my head and just kept driving.

When we got to school, I let Carter get out.

"What? I thought you were coming to school today."

I sighed and got out the car.

"Carter, I'm  not coming back to school."

"What?"

"I'm leaving and um, I'm never coming back."

"What are you talking about?"

"I'm sorry Carter."

I grabbed his hair and leaned my chest against his as I kissed him softly and passionately.

I let go of him. "This is something I have to do alone."

I got in the car and drove off.

"Halo!"

"HALO!!!"
