The Boy Next Door

•Charter 10•

After we ate dinner we talked about me for a bit because Cora had to make sure I was the perfect guy for Faith. I didn't mind to be honest.

"I'm sorry about the question that were getting thrown at you."

"Faith it's fine I really don't mind." She nods then she put smirk on her face. "What?"

"Can I borrow one of your hoodies please." I smiled shaking my head. God this girl is going to be the end of me. "Fine come on let's go pick one out." She smiled "YAY" I said my goodbyes and Faith told them she would be back.

We walked over to my house quickly and I unlocked my door. I open the door and Faith ran in. I closed the door and went upstairs to see that my door was wide open and so was my closet door. "What one do you want missy."

"That's a good question Kit Kat I don't know."

After a fucking hour of her trying to pick out a hoodie she finally found one. When she about 30 minutes in I left her. I was in the kitchen when she popped up. "Found one." I rolled my eyes. "Jeez finally that took a fucking hour." She giggled and I smiled.

Music to my ears

I was about to say something when my phone rang. I looked at the ID and immediately my blood started to boil.

"Love why don't you sit in the living room while I take this." She nods and goes to the living room.

"Che cazzo vuoi!" I spoke in Italian so Faith wouldn't worry or hear my conversation with my father.
Translation: What the fuck do you want!

"Beh, questo non è un modo educato con cui parli a tuo padre, è mio figlio."
I rolled my eyes.
Translation: Well, that's not a polite way you talk to your father, is it my son.

"Non sono tuo figlio Marco, ora dimmi cosa vuoi." I was his son by blood but in my mind he wasn't my father he never was. He signed.
Translation: I am not your son Marco now tell me want you want.

"Just get your ass to the business now." He said in his strict tone like it would scare me.

I hung up. I can't deal with his bullshit today or ever. " Hey is everything okay."

"No uh I have to go deal with some stuff okay darling go to your house." She nodded "Be safe." The last words I heard before the door closes.

I knew exactly why my father wanted me there so I grabbed my gun and took off. I didn't take my car because I knew I needed something fast so I took my bike

Let's just say the truth can't be told. Sometimes you can never tell the truth to someone you love or you will put them in great danger. And let's also say my name isn't Carter Anderson.

I saw Carter take off on his bike that I didn't know he had til now. I was worry when his phone rang I saw who was calling.

His father

I knew he didn't like him and I knew he didn't want to speak to him. So when he told me to go to the living room I did because I didn't want him to be more angry then he already was.

I know he is not ready to open up about his father and family and I can understand that. Because I haven't told him about my family.

Yet

I knew I was going to tell him someday just not right now. I can't handle it yet. Even if it has been a year. Since I last saw him. I am still scared he will pop up someday.

I can't handle it. . .

When he is ready to tell me I will be there listening to everything because I know he will do the same. He is all ready good listener. He doesn't talk much when he's around his friends or anyone. But when he's around me it's like his walls go tumbling down. Like he trust me and only me. Like I am the only one who understands him without knowing anything about his past.

And I can say the same but I have someone to talk to then. He didn't have anyone to talk to until I came into his life. I guess he never had someone care about him like I do. It so sad he's been through worst then me. I thought that wasn't possible until I met him.

He is my world he is the only guy I trust other then Bucky but I don't fully trust Bucky yet. I know if anything get in the way me and Carter will get past it. I know it.

I don't doubt Carter one bit I know he is a really sweet person deep down. I know doesn't want to let people in. I understand it better than anyone else. I will always wait for him even if we are not together 'yet' in his words. I want Carter to know that I am here and that I understand.

That he can open up to me no matter how bad the truth is. He has to learn that sometimes the truth is deep but there's always a person who really understand you and will understand why you have been hiding the truth.

Yeah maybe they will walk away for a bit but if you find the right person they will come back because they love you to much to leave you hanging.

I am in my bed watching Friends on Netflix. I took a shower and put on Carter hoodie. He still hasn't came home it's 1am. I got a text from him at 9 saying he won't go to school today I said okay. Since Carter ain't going I am not either. I told Diana and she was like 'Okay well if mah bestie is not going then I am not going cuz there no way in hell Im going to school without my bestie I won't survive.' I laughed at that.

I started to feel my eyes get heavy. So I got out of my bed and took the bowl out of my room I had some Cheese Its. What can I say I got the munchies.

Everyone in the house was sleeping. I put my bowl in the dishwasher and started it. I took a bottle of water and went back upstairs to my comfy bed. Before I went to my bed I looked out the window to see if he was home.

Nope

I signed and went to my bed and I fell asleep.
