All was settled and Carter could finally go home this time. That was the first time he had been to Angela's house since Christine's death, so tears begun to roll down his eyes while leaving, as thoughts of Christine started coming back to him.
"Maybe I should just pretend she is Christine and everything will be fine...", Carter soliloquizes.
" nah...", he said to himself again, slightly tapping his forehead.
Carter still had feelings for Christine even thought she was no more, and the idea of dating her twin sister didn't seem very cool to him. So he always avoided Angela whenever he saw her, because it was very clear to him that she loved him so much regardless of the fact he dated her late sister.
He didn't want to hurt Angela either, so he decided to take things slow with her first and see how it might turn out later in the future.
"ugghhh!!!...finally. Home sweet home"
Carter finally got home feeling very exhausted and hungry. He went to the oven to warm up food that his mother left in the fridge for him, then he went to watch some television in the main time. While watching television and waiting for the food, he begun to dose before sleeping off.
He was in a very dark room with his legs soaked with blood. He looked around him, there was blood everywhere. Then in front of him appeared Christine.
"Christine...? Christine!!!...", He shouted as he ran towards her, hugging tightly.
"I have missed you so much. Please explain to Angela that I can't date her, that I still love you and you will come back...", Carter was saying, with his eyes closed and tears rolling out of them, just before he began to run out of breath. He was beginning to feel pain in his neck, then he opened his eyes and saw himself hanging. Christine's hands around his neck, choking him to death.
"Christine!!!...You...you are ch...choking me!!!", he complained as his vision begun to blur little by little. He was in the same setting as Christine's house, hanging and facing the door as he sees himself slam the door open and running into the sitting room. He was still running out of breath, slowly dying.
"Ding!!!!!", the oven rung, waking Carter up from his dream, who was struggling to catch his breath and sweating seriously from the dream. He sits up and looks up to the ceiling;
"what the...?!!!", Carter exclaimed, deeply lost, thinking about Christine and her death again.
"Hahahahahaha!!!, oh no!. I can't believe you said that, and how did he react?", Christine asked.
"he came running after me with evil intents but was too slow for my super speed", Carter replies, smiling and holding Christine by her waist as they away from school.
" Oh I see superman...and what? You flew to the sky, disappearing out of sight?", she mocked with a smirk on her face. Carter smiles, showing all his teeth as Christine begins to laugh heavily.
After walking a few kilometers, they arrived at Chops, a local restaurant not very far from Christine's house.
Carter and Christine always visited the restaurant that everyone there knew them already even the owner of the restaurant, who went there only once in a blue moon.
They walked into the restaurant not thinking they would meet Angela there.
"oh not her again!"; Christine complained, placing her palm on her forehead.
"hello Carter!!"; Angela shouted out, waving her hand as she notices them coming into the restaurant.
She quickly run up to them in attempt to hug Carter.
