*Carter
I woke up in the morning thinking, where in the world am I? I suddenly remembered. Oh yeah. I'm staying at.....Macy's house. I think. I open the door to the bedroom I was sleeping in. I walked out to find Macy and Jordan standing around the island in the kitchen. They looked worried. I had noticed they were around a radio listening attentively. Then they looked at me, and Macy asked,
"Who was your dad, Carter."
"Why do you want to know?" I asked worried.
"Who is it Carter?!?!?!" Macy said.
"WHY DO YOU WANT TO KNOW?!?!?!"
"CARTER WHO IS OR WAS YOUR DAD!!!!! WHY WON'T YOU TELL US!!!!!"Macy screamed.
I can do this. I can tell them. My dad was the 1 person in my life who needed to go to hell. I trust them, so here it goes.
"My dad is the senator ," I mumbled.
The look on Macy's face said one thing. That she was pissed. She held Madison on her left hip and arm and turned the radio up with her right. I listed to the radio. It said exactly what I had feared it would.
"Carter Will Grande, son of senator Grande, has gone missing. He was last seen at the white house's presidential election party. He wore a black tux with a light blue checkered tie. He has blue eyes and blond hair." It said.
It wouldn't shut up. It played over and over again.
"Do you know what this means! Me and Jordan could get arrested for kidnapping! This is serious stuff here Carter! And imagine how little Madison could end up at the of this! Well, if your plan was to get more famous than the epidemic, then it worked!"
Macy was crying by the time she was finished. She ran out to a path in the woods where there was a plain ,rusted, metal bench. I had followed her there. She still had the baby in her arms. Jordan stopped me from emerging out of the tree cover.
"Let me calm her first" he said.
"OK"
She cried into his arms for awhile with the baby in between them. They eventually went back to the house but I just stayed there for awhile. I thought of how my life sucked but everyone thought it was rainbows and butterflies. In truth it is a real living hell. I hated it. I have put up a facade for all these years. I have always hated my life but this is my chance to start over. This epidemic has given me a chance to start over. To live a new life and I'm going to use it.
