The Numbness I Felt

Chapter 8

(Ik that the last one was a bit crazy in its own right but this book with get mediocre at times but absurd at others or somewhere in between and the songs above each chapter is good to listen to while reading if you catch my drift.) er

I wake up the next morning I wake up with Carter asleep on my chest and my sketch book on the ground laying open with some pencils around the bed and on in the bed. We must have been drawing last night. I look at my clock and see that it is 8:30 in the morning. I just can't remember much from last night I probably was too tired. I lay me head back down on my pillow and Carter is just sleeping peacefully on me and I don't want to move for fear I could wake him. I look up and see the spirit of a little girl who looks a bit like Carter. She looks at me and slowly floats over and Carter twitches a bit. She looks me up and down and then at Carter and smiles, so I sit up.

"Take care of my big brother pwease." The spirit says.

"Of course I will." I whisper.

"Oh and tell him that Rose loves him." She points at herself.

"I will for him Rose." I whisper to her.

Rose smiles knowing that I can see and hear her. She slowly floats off towards Carter's house. Carter stirs a bit as I realized that I sat up probably waking him up. He slowly turns on his back and opens his eyes. He smiles at me.

"Hi pup." I smile.

"You look nice this morning." He says kissing me.

"Thanks Pup and um a Rose said she loves you." I say smiling.

"W-what." He said his eyes widening with some tears in his eyes.

"Is something wrong Pup?" I say worried.

"My sister was named Rose she died three years ago." Carter says sitting up crying a bit.

"She looked like you So it makes sense she just wanted you to know she loves you." I say hugging him.

"I never knew she still checked on me." He says quietly crying into my chest.

After a bit of calming him down I help Carter gain some happiness back. Carter and I walk downstairs to see no one and a note.

Dear Valamer,
Blaise has tryouts for state and we will be gone for a a week.
Love,
Mom and Dad

I look at Carter on the couch and walk over to him and tell him the news. His ears perk up and I sit down next to him. He puts his head on my lap and then looks up at me.

"You know that your fox like colors make you look cuter V." He smiles at me.

Carter gets up and leans in to kiss me when someone knocks on the door. I get up with Carter to see Carter's Mom.

"Oh hi Mom." Carter says smiling.

"Can I come in?" His Mom says.

"Sure come sit down." I say motioning to the couch.

We all sit down after I close the door and Carter's Mom looks sad.

"What is wrong Ma'm?" I say worried.

"You can call me Jane or Mrs. Walker." She says. (Tell me if you know the reference)

"Ok Mrs." I say.

"I saw Rose last this morning in the mirror and your brother saw her last night when he was watching TV." She says.

"I saw her this morning." I say.

"Oh yeah I wish she showed herself to me." Carter said.

"But she said she loved you." I say reassuringly.

"I mean you are right I need to eventually accept it. Maybe you could help V you did it once right?" Carter says with hope.

"I still have trouble with it, but my situation is different most-likely. I want to know a bit about her maybe I can try and do something." I say thinking of ways to help Carter.

"She was an amazing kid that lost her battle against Cancer." Carter's Mom says.

"My Sister was the best little sister I could have asked for." Carter says.

"Oh I could try, but remember about what i told you Carter. I still have troubles and I was younger," I say and then mention, "We could try but you know that I won't be able to do everything."

"I know V you don't have to worry to much." Carter says.

"I never knew you had a friend that was this nice." Carter's Mom says.

"Um about that mom I am gay and this is my boyfriend." Carter says and moves into me.

His mom goes silent and I put my arms around Carter and then put my muzzle on his head. His mother then gets up and walks over to us.

"You know what I can't say I am surprised," She said, "I thought you would come out later I kind of always knew. I know you father may be on work trip right now, but he will probably want to question him." She points at me.

"Don't worry Mrs, Rose already said to take care of him and I plan to keep that wish of her's." I say holding Carter close.

"V I want you to teach me piano one of these days." Carter says looking up.

"I might but your and your mom probably have to go plus I mean my family left for the week and I may be alone, but I should be ok." I say.

"Nice try Val I am not leaving you alone that long especially knowing you." Carter says.

"I mean you can Carter, but you would need your clothes hun." His Mom says.

"Ok I will later, but I am going to make sure he doesn't do something again." He turns around and looks me in the eyes.

"I told you I wouldn't do it again." I say.

"You two I will be going." Carter's Mom says smiling walking out.

I close the door behind her and lock it.
