Yours Truly

Chapter 2

To think, that this was the beginning! The things that life had in store for me.

My parents sat on the couch and patted the cushion next to them. I took the couch opposite them and faced them directly. They looked at each other in the eye and sighed.

"Honey-"

"No, don't you  honey me, I deserve answers for almost being kidnapped in front of you."

"Your father and I used to be part of a gang" She paused and dad gripped her hand.

"The gang we were a part of used to sell drugs and girls. I was one of them. Your father was the one who kidnapped me. I proved myself stronger than him." My dad smiled.

"I was able to knock him out and almost escape. But the guards by the exit stopped me and brought me back. The gang leader, the man who walked was here, took interest in my skils." She reached over to grab my hand but I quickly pulled away

"Look, I don't care what happened now, I want to know what you've been hiding from me." She sighed and held her head in her hands. My dad rubbed her back. He continued.

"Your mom trained every day and every day I would watch her, vowing to get revenge. But the more I watched her, the more I fell in love. The gang leader also fell in love with your mom. She had no clue until I decided to tell her my feelings. I told her I loved her and she returned the favor. That night... stuff happened and your mom was soon pregnant with you. Once we knew you were coming, we decided to leave the gang. For your own good. The leader did not take this well and tried to get your mom to abort you. She refused knocked him out cold. She found the key to his money stash and took a few thousand. She and I later escaped and moved far away from the Headquarters of the gang."

"Exactly how much money did mom take?" My dad breathed deeply.

"700,000. She took it to get us started on life. So we could move on from our old life." I gasped at the amount of money and started to cry. My parents walked over to my side and tried to console me.

"Don't. Just don't. I can't believe it. Where are we going to get this sort of money! He will take me away if you can't do it." I stormed upstairs and cried into my pillow. Minutes went by and I heard a soft knocking on my door. 

"Who is it?" My mom walked in.

"Look, we are sorry for not telling you. We thought he was gone." I turned my back to her.

"I'm going to spend the night at Carter's. I will think over everything. Please know I still love you. This is just a big blow to the face." I gave her a quick hug and packed clothes for overnight. I also grabbed my toothbrush and body wash. 

I did not know how long I would take to soak it in. I grabbed my keys and shoes and started my bike. I called Carter before I left but he did not pick up. I reached his house. I rang the doorbell and was greeted by Natalie, Carter's mom.

"Hey, kiddo! Carter's upstairs. He's working on a project with someone." I thanked her and entered the house.

"Hey, Natalie?"

"What's up, sweetpea?"

"Um... I was wondering if I could stay here for a while" She pulled me into a hug and I accepted it.

"No, just some problems at home." She gasped and seated me on the couch

"What happened sugar?"

"I don't really want to talk about it, but I guess you could say that my parents lied and betrayed me." She squeezed my hand

"I understand, if you need anything, just let me know." I nodded and she walked off to her office. I walked up the stairs and sneakily approached Carter's room. I could just picture the look on his face once I scared him. I opened the door.

"BO--" I blinked and rubbed my eyes. I could feel the tears running down my cheeks. There, in all glory, was my boyfriend and Allie. Screwing like it was the end of the world. Carter quickly covered up and so did Allie.

"Babe, I-this is not what it-" He was cut off with a slap. I slapped him straight across the face.

"What? It's not what it looks like right? Then please explain what the hell you were doing. A science experiment?" Carter tried to reach for me but I dodged his hand.

"She forced herself on me." I looked and Allie then back at him

"You seemed to be enjoying it. Enjoying it a lot." Allie wrapped the blanket around her and walked up next to Carter. She traced his abs with her finger.

"Forget about her. We were having fun. Right?" I have had about enough of her. I punched her square in the nose. She screamed and ran down the stairs to leave. Carter's mom surprisingly did not hear a word. I looked into her office to see she had headphones on. 

"I swear, I hated every second of it. I love you and only you" Carter pulled me into his room and closed the door.

"Really, you hated every second of it?" He nodded and came closer.

"Is that why you moaned and swore and groaned? Hmm?" He backed off

"That's what I thought. Stay the fuck away from me and my friends. Go and screw that entire school and see if I care. I actually loved you. I trusted you. I was ready but no, you and your stupid desires." I sat on his chair and held my head in my hands. Carter sat on his bed.

"I screwed up. Bigtime. I'm sorry. Really sorry." I looked him in the eye and tossed him an empty beer can that was on his desk.

"Crumple that can."

"Wha-"

"Just crumple the fucking can." He crumpled the can.

"Now throw it on the ground and step on it." He did that and left it on the ground.

"Now pick it up and apologize." He picked it up but paused.

"Wh-"

"Don't ask questions just do it." He apologized to the can.

"Now tell me, Carter, did the can go back to its original shape after you said sorry?" He looked down at the floor.

"I'm asking you a fucking question Carter. You can screw a girl, tell me that it was not real but can't answer my question?"

"No, it did not change." I nodded

"Sorry won't change the fact that you slept with someone. I am done. We are over." I walked out of his room. He did not try and follow me. Carter's mom walked out of her office.

"What happened hun?"

"I've got homework to do, I'll come back soon." She waved goodbye and I left.

My broken heart still beating in my chest.
