His Secret

14. MMSP

"So. Why do you guys do in this.... Midnight mini sneaking party?" I asked Issac as I sat on the couch, opposite to Daniel and Carter. "Lena, Call it MMSP. I like short forms better." He chuckled and then stared again. "Well.. so you know I live here alone. My parents live in Denmark. Whenever I'm bored I throw MMSP. It's just us three but today, we have a special guest." I rolled my eyes playfully.

Maybe two or three hours have passed. We all were talking, chatting and laughing except one, yess! You got it right it's CARTER THE SMITH.

We all were telling our most embarassing stories when Carter stood up. "Excuse me." He said and headed outside. It's the time.

I looked around at Daniel and Issac and they both gave me an encouraging smile, probably knowing what I was thinking. I smiled back and headed outside behind Carter.

When I opened the door I saw him, leaning against his car with cigarette in one hand and other runing through his hair. When his eyes landed on me, he threw the cigarette away and stood up straight.

"I didn't know you smoke." I said as I apporached him. "You don't even need to know." He replied coldly.

"Cut the crap, Carter. I want to know what have I done wrong? I thought we were friends. We've been spending some time together lately and we got along just fine but all of a sudden you had to act this way. I don't remember doing anything wrong with you so why are you acting this way?" He looked shocked by my sudden outburst.

After staring at me for a long time, he broke the eye contact and focused on the ground. "You haven't done anything, lena." He said and ran a hand in his hair.

"Then? Why are you acting like a dickhead?" I asked angrily and crossed my hands over my chest.

"I-i can't tell you.", He looked annoyed. He continuously avoided my gaze.

"Carter, what's going on?" I looked at him.

He looked up at me and then sighed. "Fine. Comeon." He said and turned around. He opened the passenger door of his car and guestured me to sit in.

The sun was already out and it wasn't soo dark now. I looked at him "Where?" I asked curiously.

"Get in!" He ordered and without thinking, I stepped in his luxurious car. He walked over to the drivers seat and got in and started to drive.

The car drive was silent. Neither of us said anything to each other. My heart was pounding in my chest. My eyebrows narrowed when the car took a sudden turn and we were now on a deserted road. I looked at him from the corner of my eyes and he had a straight face. His face showed no emotion and he kept on driving.

Soon after the car came to a halt and he got out. The place was beautiful yet scary. There were rocks everywhere and a whole bunch of grass. At a distance there was a small pond.

I got out as well and without a word he started walking. Rude much? I followed him. He approached the pond and sighed. He sat on the huge rock beside the pond and patted beside him while looking at me.

I approached him and he helped me up on the rock. We both stared at the water for a while before I broke the silence.

"So... What is it?" I asked. He cleared his throat before speaking. "I'm just..  disturbed."

"Disturbed?" I pressed. "Father and stuff." He said keeping his face straight.

"What about him?" I pressed more. "Lena, please. That really isn't necessary." He pleased.

"Fine. This is not all, is it? How did you get all bruised up and what the hell did I do to deserve your rudeness?" I asked.

"My father had a deal with someone. Later dad found out that the man had betrayed him. He got angry and ordered me to kill that man. When I refused he got even more angry and... ordered his men to beat the fuck out of me." He said and his voice cracked in the end. I had never seen him this sad and.. broken.

"Lena. Only you know about this stuff. I trust you please don't tell anybody, I don't want anybody to know." He said and I nodded. It was good to know that he trusted me .

We both talked about things and he apologized for everything. "I just want to work thing out with you. Will you give me another chance and be my friend?" I smiled and nodded my head but something was still not solved.

"Wait. I wanna know something." I said.

"Why were you ignoring me? I still do not get it."

"Umm- I told you. Only you knew a-and I know you would ask. That's why." He hesitated but I just nodded not wanting him to feel more uncomfortable.

"Everything good?" Daniel asked and I nodded. We were back at Issac's place now that things were good between me and Carter. Carter plopped down on the couch.

"Daniel. We should go home. I don't wanna skip. " I said hoping he would budge.

"Comeon, girl. Stay here, we all are skipping. We can go somewhere and just chill." Issac said and the others nodded.

I sighed and plopped down beside Daniel. "Fineee!" I groaned.

We all chatted a little bit before heading to a cafe when it was lunch time.

Well, I wasn't ready to go to the cafe in my ugly clothes so before going, Daniel drove to his place. We both snuck through his window and I quickly got to my room and changed, trying not to make any noise and then we both snuck out again.

Daniel already texted him mom, saying we both went off to school early this morning.

She replied with 'Okay'. Woah! My mom would never reply with an okay. She would ask me thousands of questions.

We all entered the cafe and took our seats, ordered our foods and started gossiping. "So? Any plans for tomorrow?" Daniel asked.

"I'm not skipping tomorrow." I said straight while chewing onto my burger. "Aw comeon! Admit it that you enjoyed today. AND I know you'll enjoy tomorrow as well" Carter said.

"Nope! I won't skip and that's it. Today is the first and the last time I'm skipping." I said and they all rolled their eyes.
