I Won't Give Up- Jai Brooks Fanfiction

Chapter 22- Rain

Carter’s POV

“Can we not talk about that?” I replied slowly lowing my head to look at the floor.

“How come? You can tell me anything.” Jai said.

“Well I don’t want to tell you that!” I smugged standing up and clutching my fists into a ball.

“Just tell me!” Jai said sternly.

“I don’t want.” I hissed.

“Fine, if you’re not going to be honest with me, than you can leave!” He yelled pointing to the door.

“That’s it; you’d drop me that quick?” I said starting to walk out of his house, but he was running after me.

“I didn’t mean it like that.” He said grabbing my wrist and trying to pull me back. I turned around with an angry look.

“You told me to leave, so I am.” I replied walking out into the rain.

I felt tears well up in my eyes as the rain got heavier. I didn’t look back, but I could hear Jai calling out to me.

“CARTER COME BACK! “ He said. “I’M SORRY.” He yelled.

I kept walking and turned around a corner. I started to run splashing the water from the rain on my clothes. I came to my house and slammed the door behind me. Luckily my mum was at work, she didn’t need to see me cry. I walked up to my room and changed out of my drenched clothes. I put on some baggie grey sweats and a blue singlet. I fell onto my bed and began to cry.

I can’t believe Jai would tell me to leave, just like that. Every time someone brings up my dad, I can’t talk about him, what happened is just too much for me to handle.

I closed my eyes, but they shot open when my phone rang. It was Jai calling, I declined it. He called again, I still didn’t answer, and I couldn’t talk to him after what he said. I turned my phone onto silent and fell asleep.

I dreamt about all the happy times Jai and I have had. When we were running away together, the first moment we talked to each other, and the first time I actually ever saw Jai. I looked at him, and scurried away in awkwardness.

I woke up to my mum shaking me. I opened my eyes and gave her a quick hug.

“Dinner will be ready soon.” She smiled leaving my room.

I nodded. Dinner, how long did I sleep for? I grabbed my phone and saw that I had so many missed calls and messages, all from Jai…

Come back!
I’m sorry.
I love you Carter

The same messages over and over again, along with about 100 missed calls and voice mails. I rubbed my eyes a little and walked down-stairs and sat down at the dining table. Mum placed some salad down in front of me and I began to eat it slowly. Mum soon sat down next to me and ate her dinner as well.

She paused and looked at me with a confused expression etched on her face.

“Is everything okay?” She quizzed.

“Yeah, why wouldn’t it be?” I lied.

“You’ve been crying, I can tell.” She replied moving her chair closer to me. “What’s wrong?” She quizzed.

“Jai and I had a fight.” I shrugged my shoulders as I spoke.

“Mmm, wanna tell me what it was about.” My mum said placing her hand onto my shoulder.

“We were just arguing and he told me to leave.”

“Why did he say that?” She asked.

“I do-on’t know!” I began to cry again.

“Come here sweetie.” Mum said nudging me to sit on her lap.

I sat on her lap and she wrapped her arms around me and comforted me. I really just needed a hug from my mum; she always makes me feel better.

Jai’s POV

I am such an idiot! Why did I say that? How could I be so rude? I think I called Carter so many times that her voice mail was full. But I just wanted to hear her voice, but I couldn’t, the only way was to listen to her voice mail greeting.

Hey, it’s Carter, I’m not here, please call back later.

I listened to it and hung up again. I chucked my phone down to the end of the bed and dragged myself to the kitchen. My mum was reading a book, but I interrupted her as I plonked myself onto the chair beside her. I sighed.

“What do you do when you’ve been a complete asshole to someone?” I quizzed rubbing my hands through my hair.

“Is that why Carter stormed out earlier today?” She replied placing her book down on the table.

“Yeah.” I looked down.

“You have to do something to make her believe that you are sorry.”

“But she won’t answer any of my calls or texts.” I replied.

“Did you try and ask her about something personal?” My mum quizzed.

“Sort of.”

“She will tell you in good time, just give her some space I’m sure she will come around.” My mum assured.

But what if Carter doesn’t come around, what if she completely hates me?
