*Sam's P.O.V*
The bell rang and I walked out of the classroom with Lucy on my heels. "What colour dress do you think I should get?" she asked, flipping through a magazine she had brought with her. "Uhm...blue?" I muttered. She debated a few and then nodded. "I'm thinking tuquoise," she said and made a note next to a turquois coloured dress. "Have you seen Drew today?" I asked, out of the blue. She looked up at me. "Huh?" she mumbled. "I said have you seen Drew today?" I asked her again. She shook her head and her eyebrows crumpled. "You know I didn't even realize he was missing. I knew there was a reason it was so quiet," she laughed and went back to dress picking.
We exited to school building and made our way over to Lucy's car. As soon as I was about to jump in, I spotted Drew leaning against the Gym door. "Can you hang on a minute Luc?"I asked her and then ran over to him. "HI DREW!" I cried,pulling him into a hug. He didn't hug me back. Instead he unwrapped my arms from around him and placed a kiss on my forehead. "Look, Sam. I know you've been through alot lately and this is the time you need me most but.."he trailed off. What was he trying to say?"Just spit it Drew," I told him, stepping away from him. "I just think....we should see other people. You're a strong girl, you can survive without me," he said, leaning in and giving me a sweet kiss. "And that will be our last,"he told me and walked off.
Tears pricked my eyes as I watched him disappear down the street. "Sam, Sam?Are you okay? What happened?" Luc asked, wrapping her arms around me. "Drew..b-broke up with..-me," I stuttered breaking into tears. She hugged me tighter and whispered condolences in my ear. "It's going to be okay," she said. I shook my head. "No it's not okay. Why did he dump me Luc? Am I not pretty enough? Am I that ugly?" I sobbed into her shoulder. "No honey! You're beautiful! How could you ever think that???!" she asked me. "Because it's true. I know I was lucky to have a guy like him but he didn't have to dump me cuz Im ugly!" I screeched. She said something again but I didn;t hear it. I heard someone else's voice.
You are beautiful Babydoll.
I gasped. It was Carter. "Luc...did you hear that?" I hiccupped into silence. "Hear what babe?" she asked. I listened again but the voice was gone. "Nothing. It must have been the wind," I told her. SHe nodded and pulled me to her car. "I'm dropping you home okay. We'l go shopping tomorrow," she said and pulled off. I didn't complain. I wasn't in the mood for any socializing right now. All I wanted was to drown myself in Ben & Jerry's and then go to sleep.
I jumped out of the car and waved at Luc as she pulled off. The house was empty. I went into the kitchen and found a note.
Sammy,
Mom here. Macy doesn't have school tomorrow so she's staying over at Emily's until Sunday. I had a last minute patient calling from Canada so I'll be gone for about a week. Sorry for the short notice. I love you so much hun! xx
Mom <3
I sighed and threw the note away. Great. When I needed my mom the most, she's gone. I ran up to my room and changed into some shorts and a t-shirt and then threw myself on the bed. A few tears escaped and dripped onto the pillow.
Babydoll....
Carter.
I jumped off the bed and ran over to the window. There he was. Standing in my driveway. Dressed in all black.
"Babydoll," he whispered. It was so low but I managed to hear him. "Carter?" I whimpered. He looked up at me pure concern written all over his face. "Carter. What's going on?" I asked him. Then an old woman passed by. She looked up at me and then to Carter. "Deary who are you talking too?" she asked in a fragile voice. I looked at her confused. "What are you talking about? He's right there," I said, pointing at Carter. She looked at him again.
"There's no one there," she told me. I gasped. What is she talking about? He's right there! Then it struck me. She can't see him. No one can't. Except me...
She shook her head and walked off. Carter looked up at me and smirked. Are you scared? His voice broke into my mind. I snapped out of it. "No I'm not," I said. It wasn't a lie. I wasn't scared. I felt....safe. "I want to know what's going on," I said. He glanced around. I'm coming up. Was all I heard and then he disappeared. I spun around and jumped. He was standing right behind me.
"Carter, how did you do that?" I asked, my hand over my heart. "Being dead has it's perks babydoll," he smiled. "I don't get it. If you're dead how can you be here? And what did you mean about my birthmark?" I flung question after question at him. He sighed and sat on the edge of my bed. "This is gonna take a while babydoll," he told me. "I've got time," I replied taking a seat next to him.
"Okay. Well firstly, I'm not technically dead....." he started off. I nodded at him for him to continue. "I'm a guardian angel," he said, assessing my reaction. A guardian angel. Those things only happen in fairytales. But then again I'm talking to a dead boy's spirit. "I believ you but can I have a little proof?" I asked. He pulled out a pocket knife and aimed it above his wrist. "WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO!?!" I screeched, pulling away. "You said you wanted proof babydoll," he said. "And how's this proof?" I asked, my voice creeping an octave higher. "I'm immortal. It'll heal immediately," he said and sliced his wrist open. Dark red blood pooled and spilled all over his jeans. "OH MY GoD CARTER!!" I cried, grabbing his hand and wiping the blood away with my shirt.
I gasped and stared at his hand. Where there should have been a deep gash that would've taken weeks to heal, Carter's skin was perfect. Not a scratch. I couldn't even tell he had been cut. "See?" he murmured, his hot breath brushing my face. I looked up at him and froze. His eyes held me in a trance just like what happened at school. Our faces were so close, it was akward. I wanted to pull away but I couldn't. After staring at each other for a very humid amount of time he pulled away, releasing his control over my body.
"Okay. I totally believe you now. But why are you here? Why me?" I asked, trying to rub the blood on my hands on my shirt. He glanced over at me. The corners of his mouth twitched as if he were fighting a smile. "Well?" I questioned, lifting my chin higher. "I'm your guardian angel babydoll," he whispered. Carter is my guardian angel? How? WHy? "Mine? WHy?" I asked. "You have alot of questions huh?" he smirked. I rolled my eyes. "Yes I do. Are you gonna answer them or not?" I said, tapping my foot. He laughed and stood up.
"I will but when the time is right," he said turning to go. "Wait!" I cried. He stopped and turned to face me. "What did you mean when you said someone wanted to kill me at school? Who is it?" I asked, my voice dropping. A dark shadow crossed over him and his eyes turned icy. He no longer looked carefree and happy as he did a minute ago. "I don't know who it is but when I find out....they are going to regret ever trying to hurt you," he hissed through gritted teeth. The hostility in his voice, told me not to push him any further.
When he noticed me trembling on the bed, he crossed the space between us and pulled me into his arms. "Don't worry Babydoll. You're safe. I promise I won't let anything happen to you," he murmured into my hair. He planted a soft kiss on my forehead and then he was gone. Vanished. Into thin air. I stood there frozen unsure of what to do. My resolve broke when I remembered what had happened this morning but surprisingly....it didn't hurt. Nothing worried me anymore. It was as if anytime Carter was around all of my problems, worries, fears just disappeared. It was a good feeling to know that I had someone to look out for me.
