(A couple of days later. Probably like 2 or 3 days.)
Still Carter's POV:
I had spent the whole day inside my room. Sarah and Justin would come to my room and ask if i was okay every now and then and i would always reply the same thing "Almost there." I decided that it was time for me to forget. Forget what Clara and i had. Forget what i once felt i felt for her. Forget everything. I decided that i wasn't going to be the whole night laying on my bed looking at the ceiling asking myself what i did wrong. So i decided to go to a party nearby. This time i wanted to go alone. I had to sneak out if i wanted to go alone. I locked the bedroom door and took a quick shower. I changed into some black ripped jeans, a black long sleeved shirt that had some time of design on the front and my black and white jordans. I brushed my crazy curls back with my fingers and put on a black snapback. I didn't look great but i looked better than i looked before. I pushed my ear against the door to listen if anyone was coming. I heard Sarah and Justin speaking. I couldn't tell what they were saying so it meant they were probably in the kitchen. I took this opportunity and went out the window. I quickly scurried through the backyard and jumped the fence. I got in my car and took off.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was having a good time at the party. Maybe this wasn't such a bad idea. I met this really cool girl. I think i may like her. I just met her so i don't think so. We had talked a long time and danced together. It wasn't a slow song, it was like the type of song they put in clubs. The songs that make you want to dance no matter what your music preference is. We were getting along really well so we decided to take a walk. We ended up in a park (beginning of chapter). "I really like you." I said. "I like you too. You're cool unlike my ex." She said. "Maybe we can hang out tomorrow." I suggested. "Yeah, i don't have any plans so lets do it." Jessica said (the girls name was Jessica, obviously.) "Would one work?" I asked. "Totally." She said as we sat on a bench. "You remind me of someone." I said. "Well, i hope its in a good way." Jessica replied. "I guess it is." I smiled. We were looking at each other in the eyes. Before i knew it we were kissing. I didn't think about it. After the kiss she hugged me. "Why is she looking at us?" Jessica asked looking over my shoulder. I turned around to see who she was referring to. My jaw dropped. It wasn't possible. It couldn't be. "Clara?" I asked as i stood up. Clara was just looking at me blindly. I walk towards her. "Oh my God you're alive." I say as i opened my arms. Before i could hug her she slapped me straight across the face. I grabbed my cheek and looked at her with my mouth open. She huffed and started walking away. At that moment i didn't care about Jessica.
I ran after Clara. I called her name a couple times but she didn't stop. I finally caught up to her and grabbed her by the arm. "What do you want Carter?" She asked angrily as tears slid down her cheeks. "Clara i missed you so much." I said as i took a step forward. She took a step back. "Baby, i thought you were dead." I said as i took another step forward. She put her arms up to my chest to keep me from getting close to her. "Well i wasn't dead Carter but now i am. I cant believe you would do this!" She yelled at my face. "You don't understand. I needed to forget." I said. "Thats not an excuse. So i just die and you go around looking for another girl to replace me." She shouted. "I know its not an excuse. I needed to distract myself from the pain." I said as a tear slipped. "I don't see you crying or in pain. You clearly proved to me that you moved on. It wouldn't surprise me if you left me there to die." She said as she turned around to walk away. I pulled her by the arm once again and got close to her. "Don't you EVER say that. I would never leave you. We tried warning you that something could happen. I tried to convince you to not go alone with Sarah but you didn't listen." I said. "Oh, so now you're blaming this on me? You're blaming me for getting kidnapped?" She asked sarcastically. "Im not saying that! Im saying that i didnt leave you. When we got there you were dead!" I yelled. "Really? Because as far as im concerned im still alive!" She shouted. "I didn't know that! I saw you sitting there all pale, bruised and you were stone cold." I said. "You're an idiot Carter! Didn't you ever think about checking my pulse? I wasn't dead! They knocked me out!" Clara yelled. "You're right, i am an idiot but i didn't think straight. You can ask Sarah and Justin, i didn't come out of my room for days! I didn't sleep or eat! I only got up to go to the bathroom or open the door because they were gonna check up on me. To make sure i didn't kill myself. Offer me food or say everything was going to be alright. I was a mess Clara! I hated life and now that you were gone i didn't have a reason to be here! There was only one thing keeping me breathing and it was that note you left on my phone. I read it every fucking night! I would stay up crying because i was never going to be able to kiss you, to sleep with you, to see that beautiful smile of yours. I kept my promise this time Clara. Now you have to keep yours!" By this time we were both crying. "I love you Clara. Please! I just got you back, you cant leave me again." I cried. "I-i love you too Carter but you hurt me. This isn't the first time." She cried. "We can work this out. We can make this work. If we really love each other we can get through anything." I said as i held her hand. "Thats the thing Carter. After what i just saw i don't think you love me anymore." She said as she rubbed my hand with her thumb. "I do! I do love you. More than anything in this world. More than my own life. In fact you are my life, without you im nothing. Without you i wouldn't be here." I said as i caressed her cheek with my thumb. "I-i don't know Carter. Im not even sure if i can let you touch me" Clara said as she took my hand away from her cheek. "Im not going to hurt you clara. What that asshole did to you will never happen again. I can promise you that." I said. "Im not sure." Clara said as she pushed a piece of her hair behind her ear. "At least let me take you home. Im sure they will be happy to see you're still alive." I said as i grabbed her hand. "O-okay." She said as we walked to my car which was back at the party.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I opened the door and walked into the living room still holding Clara's hand. "CARTER WHERE THE FUCK HAVE YOU BE-" Sarah yelled as she walked down the stairs. She stopped dead in her tracks as soon as she noticed who i was with. "Clara?" Sarah asked as she walked closer. Clara nodded and they ran and hugged each other. "Oh my god! You're still alive." Sarah cried. "Is Carter there?" Justin asked as he walked down the stairs also. He looked at Clara and blinked a couple of times to make sure he was really seeing her. He ran towards Clara and hugged her tight. "My little gummy bear is still alive." Justin said as he kissed the top of her head. That was his nickname for her. "We have a lot to catch up on." Clara said as she sat on the couch. "I cant wait to hear what happened." Justin said as he sat too.
