Looking at the ghostly figure infront of me that was my old friend, many questions popped into my head.

"How? When? Where?"

She giggled at my little panic attack "He killed me after I didn't tell him anything. He just beat me until I no longer struggled for air."

"I'm so sorry." I put my head in my heads as it went to dead silence. The trickling water from the stream is all I heard.

Coming from the woods I heard footsteps, trampling hard through the leaves towards my direction.

"Get over my death and live." Natalie spoke and a brush of air touched my face softly as I watched my friend fade away into the stars.

"Are you done breathing?" Luke's face came into view.

Without a work I looked back down at the water, admiring my reflection.

"Let's go." He demanded

"No."

"I'll drag you back."

"Have fun."

With that he grabbed me by the collar and started pulling me in the dirt back towards the house. Moving out of his grasp, I pushed him towards the ground and ran back towards the river.

"Dammit Carter!" He started running after me barely keeping his balance.

Suddenly he grabbed my arm and I swung back knocking him over once more.

"You don't understand how much your little games damaged me." I walked toward him.

"You should've just forgot about my affair and loved me."

"What's wrong with you? Do you not understand that I will no longer love you?"

"Shut up! You will."

"Damn, you're obsessed."

"Obsessed? I'm sorry I actually love someone."

"Leave me alone for once."

"Not until you understand where I'm coming from." He grabs my writs and pushes me up against the bear by tree.

"Love me." He trails kisses down my neck and I kick him making him hold his balls.

"Pain in my ass." I kicked him in the stomach knocking him over into the river.

.........

Walking through the front door, I stormed upstairs and locked myself in the guest room.

"Carter. Where's Luke?" Frank knocks on my door.

"I don't know." I lie and fall back on the bed.

Calum's POV.

"I'm scared." She whispered looking out the window

"We'll be fine." "Safe." I added

"Why can't Carter just forgive him?" Lea rubbed her eye.

"He's not good for her."

"Okay." She squeaked and looked down.

Carter's POV.

The bedroom door flung wide open causing a huge thud as it hit the back wall.

"What the hell were you thinking!?" He forced my body unto the bed.

"You shouldn't have came looking for me."

"I wanted to check on you."

"Sure." I forced him off me and walked toward the dresser.

"Don't walk away from me." He pushed me back into the dresser, causing it to shake and the mirror to crack slightly.

Struggling to get out of his grip, he lets go and storms out slamming the door behind him.

"What's the problem?" I hear Frank talking outside the bedroom door.

"I can't do it Frank! She's difficult!" Luke screams and a hear a thud like sound.

"It's ok."

"She should love me or die."

"You know where the gun is." Footsteps fade. Signaling that they were gone.

Why would he kill me for love? So petty. Love is for people who deserve it.

"Carter." He called

... I decided. If I was to choose inbetween loving Luke and dying. Id rather die.

Slowly making a move downstairs, Luke stands a few feet away from the stairs, hands behind his back.

"Carter. I given you the chance to love me and you refused." He pulled the gun into my view cocking it before beginning to talk again. "I said sorry for my unfaithfulness and tried to show you how much I cared. I guess it wasn't good enough."

I stepped forward.

"Don't move again." His tone stern

I took another step.

"Carter I'm warning you." His face changing red.

Hopped another.

"Stop!" He yelled.

"What are you gonna do?" I stood up against the gun and gave him a 'go ahead' look.

"All you have to do is love me again and you won't get shot."

"Shoot me." I demand

"Just say it Carter!"

"Shoot me."

"Dammit Carter! Admit it." Tears ran down from his eyes.

"I'm done living in the fear of one day I won't be free from you or Frank. So why live?"

"Live for me." He pleaded.

"Are you done with the for you shit? What about me? What about myself?"

"I can't live without you."

"Then let me go."

"No."

"Then shoot."

"Why can't you just love me!"

"Why do you want to be loved?"

"Because you were the only one who showed me it."

"Bullshit. Your mom did all the time."

"I meant in a loving passionate way, we loved eachother more than mother and son."

"That's the key word..... Loved."

With that he pushed me up against the wall, one hand pointing the fun to my hand and the other holding me up against it.

To be honest, I wasn't afraid. Fear wasn't what I looked at. It was the chance of me moving on. I could finally follow my mom, Natalie, Ashton, and all the other victims who died to save me, when I should've died too.
