I'm leaning up against a brick wall in an alley crying my eyes out. My makeup is running down my face and my head hurts. I slowly slide down the wall and reach forward and take my heels off.I reach into my purse and look at my phone. 6 missed calls and 17 unread texts from Carter. I decide to just turn my phone off and not worry about him for the moment. I finally feel my tears start to dry up so I get up, fix my make up and head to the local park. It is only 3 blocks away so its a short walk. I finally arrive at the park and sit on a cold metal bench under a dim flickering street lamp. I decide to turn my phone back on and read Carter's messages.
- Babe I'm sorry. Please come back to mine and let's talk things out
- Charlie please let's talk things out
- Charlotte talk to me
- Answer your phone
- Please don't do anything crazy and please just come home
- Text or call me back so I know your okay. I love you and I don't want anything bad happening to you
I finally had read enough. I deleted the messages and locked my phone.
The park was empty, except for a couple walking on the gravel path, and dark considering it's 10:00 pm. After about 20 minutes I decide to take a walk towards the beach. Now the beach is really far away so I decide to take a cab.
Once I arrived, I step out of the yellow taxi and pay the driver. The beach was like the park, empty and dark, but the sound of the waves crashing onto the wet sand was peaceful. I removed my heels once more and sat down close to the water. I stuck my feet in and leaned my head back enjoying the peace and quiet. I started to hear a voice interrupting my peace.
"Charlie? Charlie, is that you?" Said the figure slowly approaching me.
I knew that voice.
It was jakes, my best friend.
"how did you find me?" I asked as he walked into view.
"This is where you always come when you want to clear your head" he said slowly sitting down on the sand next to me.
"Why were you looking for me anyways?" I said a bit harsher then I meant to be.
"Carter called me saying you were missing. He is freaking out, he said you never came home and you weren't answering his phone calls. So I figured I'd come and look for you myself."
"Did he say anything else?"
He looked at me a little confused.
"Was be supposed to say something else? What happened? Why didn't you come home?"
"I came home from my trip to the UK a day early and I thought I would surprise him. I walked through the front door and he is sitting on the couch making out with some red head chick. He said 'it's not what you think'. Yeah... I've heard that one too many times before, so I left the house and ended up here." I said trying not to cry again.
" awe my poor baby! Come here." He said pulling me into a big bear hug which I gladly excepted. I broke from the hug and looked at him
"Carter has used up all his chances with me. I'm never going back to him no matter how much he begs."I said proudly
"You are a 100% right but you are also 100% freezing your ass of so let's go back to my house and you can spend the night with me. Sound good?" I nodded and we headed to his car.
Jake had a 2014 jeep wrangler rubicon. His car was my dream car so I enjoyed taking rides in it. I hopped int to the passenger seat and watched Jake start up the car. I buckled my seat belt and turned on the radio.
