The Equation For Disaster

Chapter Two

"Hey Bella what do you think if I went to the dance with Skylar?" Carter asked curiously

"My best friend?" I eyed him curiously skimming my toes over the warm lake water "You like her huh?"

"Maybe..." He shrugged, but couldn't hide his smile

"I mean it's up to you. I'm not gonna say no, because I mean you know I kinda like Dean and he's your best friend..." I chuckled softly "I'm not gonna be a hypocrite"

"I'm gonna ask her to the dance. By the way, Dean has a date already..." Carter stated softly hugging me "Sorry sis"

"He knows me as your twin sister, that's it" I shrugged it off like it was nothing

"I'm not gonna deny that, but I mean at least he notices you" Carter laughed "I'm hot" He slides into the water and swims out away from the dock

I follow suit and swim towards him. 

"It's such a beautiful day" I smile splashing him with water

"Hey!" He exclaims splashing me back

I dive under the water and swim towards him as he dives under and then we were pulled into a heavy current pulling us away from the dock. Some asshole on a boat messed with the waves making us not be able to swim away. I finally get out of the current and surface for air. 

"Carter!" I scream of the top of my lungs "CARTER!" 

I see the boat circling around and I wave my arms so they know I'm there. I see a red spot in the water. I swim towards it quickly. Carter floats there unconscious. 

"Carter!" I scream grabbing him and swimming to the boat who slowed to a stop and grabbed him then pulled me up. They drove to our dock and we pulled his body onto shore. "Carter!" I yell checking his pulse and trying to listen for breathing. The boat must have hit him in the head and took him under the current even more. One of the guys on the boat starts trying CPR. "Who was driving?" I growl angrily and scan the boys who all reeked of alcohol "Who in the hell was driving!" 

"I was" One of the guys admitted and I walked up to him 

"Drunk driving a boat that close to a fucking dock!" I screamed "You have got to be fucking mental!"

"IZZY!" I hear voices scream running down from the cabin "IZZY"

"You're a fucking retard!" I punched the guy square in the jaw and dropped to my knees and grabbed Carter's hand as tears slid down my face, I knew, I just knew he was gone.

I jolt up from my bed covered in sweat. Just a nightmare... A repetitive nightmare. I flip on my lamp and pull the sheets off of me. I quietly leave my room and walk downstairs to the kitchen where I hear loud laughter. 

"God she's so stupid" A voice laughs

"I mean when you're that stupid I guess you gotta get you someone smart even if the payment is sex" Another voice laughs as I enter the kitchen everyone drops silent

"Iz, you okay?" Peter stands up and looks at me worriedly

"Yeah" I mumble wiping some of the sweat off of my body and walking to the fridge to get a glass of water

"You sure? You don't look alright" Jake eyes me suspiciously

"Just a bad dream" I sighed

"That one again?" Peter looked to me solemnly "Come here" He sits down at the table and gestures for me to sit on his lap "You know it's not your fault. He was drunk."
