Chapter 17:  Make up

Isabella's POV

I watched as the sun slowly fell making my surroundings become slightly darker than before. Standing up I contemplated whether I should go in the house or not but as the cold wind blew against my skin making me shiver while goosebumps began to form on my arms..contemplating, wasn't an option anymore.

Gathering myself together I entered the house through the back door trying to be as quiet as possible since I didn't really want to talk to carter, maybe tomorrow but not right now. Walking into the living room I didn't see him which was kind of a good sign but the bad thing about it was that I was gonna have to eventually see him when I'm ready to go to bed.

Quickly trying to think up something I eventually settled on sleeping on the couch for the night, It may not be comfortable but it'll have to do.

So without further adieu I laid down in the most comfortable position I could.. Which wasn't that comfortable with a pillow supporting my head and one clutched in my arms for comfort but still something didn't seem right. Maybe I was in the wrong position? Was my first thought but eventually proved myself wrong after countlessly twisting and turning on the couch.

Then it finally soaked in. I was so use to sleeping with Carter that it felt like I couldn't shut my eyes in peace knowing that he wasn't by my side hugging my body to his as his warmth took over me comforting me

Continuing to twist and turn I just gave up and stayed still on my side,trying to clear my mind of everything and before you knew it my eyes began to get heavy as I soon fell asleep.. But still feeling like something wasn't right.

Carter's POV

"Why hasn't she come up yet?" I mumbled to myself beginning to feel a little worried as I sat on the bed anxiously waiting to see the door open.

I knew she was mad at me but she still needs to know that I can still get worried about her..even if she doesn't want me to.

Finally feeling the worry take over I quickly got out of bed and walked out the door. Walking down the stairs I released a breath of relieve as I saw her curled up on the couch as her arms were loosely wrapped around a pillow.

Walking over to her I smiled as I admired how cute she always looks while sleeping,as her long wavy brown curls formed a messy circle around her head on the pillow while her eyelashes created small shadows under her eyes.

I sat beside her trying to be as quiet as possible since I didn't want to wake her. Moving a small amount of hair out her face I gently tucked it behind her ear as my hand slowly caressed her cheek.

And its in moments like this I have to wonder how I actually managed to breath knowing she's so mad at me. Leaning down I placed light kiss on her cheeks before getting up.

I was also considering taking her back to our room but the fact that she didn't want to stay there in the first place was the only thing holding me back from doing so."goodnight" I sighed placing yet again another kiss on her cheek before walking up the stairs.

I laid in bed eyes wide open while trying my best to ignore the stabbing pain in my chest as her face popped in my head every ten seconds driving me crazier as the time went by.

"I can do this" I mumbled quietly to myself. I can,I know I can.... Oh what am I thinking I can't do this.

Jumping out the bed I walked through the door and down the stairs again. Gently kneeling down beside her I took her into my arms bridal style trying my best not to wake her as I walked back up the stairs and to our bedroom. Laying her down I laid beside her dragging the comforters over us.

Seconds later she snuggled her forehead against my chest like she usually does making a small smile spread across my lips. Soon I finally fell asleep but not before mumbling a quick 'I love you' even though I know she's sleeping.

Isabella's POV 

My eyes slowly fluttered open as I was now greeted by the bright sunlight that was now shining through the window illuminating the room.

Wait what?!!!??!

As my senses kicked in I quickly shot up from the bed which I had not remember falling asleep in last night. Then suddenly I watched as carter looked up at me.

"Good morning " he smiled lazily with his hair messily falling down in his face.

"How did I get up here? " I ask quickly looking around while trying to remember if I had walked up here myself

"Well good morning to you to"

"Carter"I threatened

"Fine,  I brought you up here last night after you fell asleep on the couch downstairs ".

"Why? " I asked as he shrugged at the question

"I don't know.. I guess I  just couldn't sleep" he answered shrugging again 

"Oh" I answered plainly

"Are you still mad at me?" I then heard him ask out of nowhere

 "Umm.. Well.. No"

"Then why didn't you come up last night? "He asked as I saw the hurt flash through those light green orbs making me feel guilty as the thought of me being the cause of it  continued running through my head.

"I guess I just wanted some time to myself" I sighed "just to think about some things " I finished as I stared down at my hands.

"Things like what? " he asked using his index finger to lift my chin as my eyes now met with his making my heart begin to beat ten times faster than before.

"Things like... Us" I answered watching how his eyebrows creased before he sat up straight in bed

"What do you mean 'like us'?" He asked looking slightly worried"Isabella are you breaking up with me?" The words came out quickly frightening me

"What-no carter its just.. " I paused to let out a small sigh"things between us aren't the same anymore" I told him"the fights are increasing and it also seems like our  love is decreasing"

"Isabella you know I love you with all my heart" he replied staring deeply into my eyes again the light green colour capturing me as I got lost in the moment before his voice brought me back to reality "and I will never ever stop"

"I know carter"I shook my head as I felt him lightly squeeze my hand"I know"

"Then why are you talking like this? Your making me feel like your about to give up on us"

"I could never give up on us after all that we've been through. Its just all the things that have been happening lately that's kind of getting to me I guess"

"Well don't let them " I heard his voice before his forehead now rested on mine"I never wanna hear you talking like that again.. Okay? "

"Okay" I smiled up at him as he did the same. And yet again I was then lost in the amazing color of those eyes that always seem to fascinate me before carter started leaning in as I met him half way. Our lips crashed together in a soft and sweet kiss while my hand ran though his already messy hair.

Soon we need pulled away as his forehead then rested on mine again"I love you" I told him watching his lips curve into a smile

"I love you more"he competed making me smile

"Whatever you say carter, whatever you say"
