Mr. and Mrs. Carter: Anywhere for You

Chapter 4

January 30, 1996 Tampa Florida
NICK'S POV
"How'd it go?" AJ plops down next to me. I sigh.

"Terrible."

"What happened?" Brian asks, raising his eyebrows.

"Well she was not happy to see Lili." I remember the look on Lili's mother's face when she opened the door. Howie winces.

"Lili looks just like her." Kevin commented. I nod. They both have blonde hair and the same features. The only difference was that Lili has green eyes and her mom has light brown ones.

"Yeah. They look alike except for their eyes. Her mom has pale brown eyes." I explain. AJ nods.

"If she wasn't a woman, I would've punched her." Kevin says, angrily.

"Kevin!" Howie smacks his arm.

"Don't 'Kevin!' me!" Kevin pushes Howie's arm away. "She tried to drown Lili!" Kevin looks extremely upset.

"What?" AJ looks shocked. "When you guys were there?" I shake my head.

"No. She was referring to sometime long ago. Before we knew her." I say.

"She also slapped her. Right in front of us." I added, balling my fists. Howie widens his eyes.

"Shit." AJ shakes his head. "It's not fair. Lili doesn't deserve that crap."

"Guys, it's getting late. We should head home. We have to go back to Europe tomorrow." Kevin reminds us. I groan.

"Fine. Bye guys." I wave and watch everyone leave my house. I flop down on my bed and sigh. I can't imagine how Lili felt when she saw her mom for the first time in six years. They both look so alike, it's amazing. I see where Lili gets her beauty from. How can someone so beautiful have such a horrible heart? I don't get it. I look up at my ceiling and see nothing but Lili until I fall asleep.

LILI'S POV
"No, no, no, no." I stare at the magazine. It's in another language, but there are pictures of us on Nick's Birthday. Including us kissing.

"Hey Lili you okay?" Kevin strolls in. I look up.

"No." I hold up the magazine. "Look!"
Kevin frowns as he looks at it.

"I don't get it. What's wrong?" he raises his eyebrow. "We're in a magazine!" Kevin says, excitingly. I sigh.

"I mean it's great that you guys are in a magazine. But I don't want to be. Especially because of that." I point to the picture where I'm kissing Nick.

Kevin's eyes widen. "Crap."

"Exactly." I hold in a groan.

"Where is Nick anyway?" I look around.

"Playing his Nintendo with Brian most likely." Kevin says, looking back at the bedroom. I nod.

"Well, I'm going to go take a walk, I'll be back in an hour okay?" I give Kevin a hug.

"Alright. Be careful. Don't get lost." Kevin warns me.

"I won't. Promise." I wave and head out of the hotel room. It's cold, so before I leave, I slip on a light pink coat, with my blue jeans and white long sleeved shirt. I head out and look at the sights.

I pass a museum. It's really cold, so I head into a coffee shop. I sit down at a table and look at the city through the window. It's so pretty. I hear girls giggling. I turn around and I see three Swedish girls crowded around a magazine. They're pointing to pictures and talking. I don't understand a word they're saying. I don't speak Swedish. I only speak English, Italian, French, and Spanish. I'm half French and half Italian. I learned Spanish in school. Then I hear the girls stop giggling.
