A/n: rough edit
Elijah
I didn't end up talking to Car for the rest of the day, and unsurprisingly I started to get worried. It's in my nature to worry. I know he's probably still upset with me but I wanted to make sure he's okay.
It was getting close to eight and I was reviewing some things for my exams tomorrow. I felt more than enough prepared though.
It's really quiet around the house because Kayson's staying the night at the Andersons'. I know what you're thinking. It's a school night. But somehow they convinced me, and when I say they I mean Mr. and Mrs. Anderson. It blows my mind how much they can tolerate children. They already have their hands full with their many kids but they insisted he stay the night, especially since him and gabby go to the same school now.
So I'm extra lonely.
I debated on going over to the Hayes' residence but I think they've had enough of me for a while.
I tried to call Carter but he didn't answer. So I waited and an hour then I called again, and again, but I got nothing.
I really didn't want to go to his house. There's no way for me to know if his parents were home, all I knew was I didn't want to run into them, not in the slightest. Even the blind could see they think very little of me, obviously I'm not good enough for their son. Even though they don't know a single thing about me and I haven't done anything wrong.
It's so stupid. But I'm worried. He isn't answering my calls and I want to make sure he's okay.
I changed out of my comfy clothes and back into my outfit I wore today. I pulled on a zip up and grabbed everything thing I needed, keys, wallet, phone. I locked up and made my way to his home.
I stopped by the Starbucks near his house and got him hot chocolate and some cookies, because why not. Ten more minutes or so I reached his home.
There were no cars in the long driveway. Not even Carter's. Granted they could all be parked in the garage, I've only ever been here once. Parking in the garage could be their normal. I grabbed my phone and swiped passed the photo of Kayson and I on his birthday last year. I put in my passcode before FaceTiming Carter. And of course he didn't answer.
With one last huff and the thought to just turn around, I got out the car and walked up the stone pavement to the large door. I raised my finger to the door bell and just as I pressed the button my phone started ringing.
It scared the shit out of me honestly.
I looked at the screen and saw the Thea's contact photo. I was really hoping it was Carter. I debated rather to answer it or not, but knowing that it could be about Kayson I did.
"Hello." I glanced at the decorated glass panel of the door patiently.
"Girllll. Please tell me you know." She sounded desperate and on edge. It made my nerves turn to attention.
"Know what?"
She exhaled loudly. I could imagine her shaking her head. "Noah is a part of an underground fighting club."
I nodded slowly. "I do know that." My question is how does she know that.
Actually now that I think about it, most people probably knows. That's why everyone is so damn scared of him.
"Okay." She replied smartly. "But do you know that Carter is scheduled to fight him tonight?"
Stop.
