The Boy in Glasses (The Love Story)

Chapter 12: Together

Four months later, I'd basically told Carter everything about myself. Lola was in jail and would be on trial within 9 months. And my dad still seemed upset but was coping pretty well with finding out his girlfriend was a wanted lesbian.

As for me with science, yeah..I STILL FUCKING HATE IT!?!

Carter seemed frustrated. "Ok, what is the difference between igneous and metamorphic?"

I was still confused. "I CAN'T DO THIS SHIT?!?!"

"Yes you can! You just have to focus!"

"I've been focusing for 4 months now!I just don't see what's so important about science. It just seems pointless!"

Carter looked me in the eyes. "Something's bothering you isn't it?"

I crossed my arms. "So you can read people's minds now can you?"

"No. But I can tell when something's bothering you. You do that cute thing where you play with your hair."

I rolled my eyes."I do not."

He gave me that straight face he always gave me. "Really? Look down."

I looked down. My hands were stroking my hair strand by strand.

(How did I not notice!)

"Shut up."

"You wanna tell me what's going on?"

I started biting my lip. " I don't know."

He crossed his arms. "Halo?"

"I'm serious! I really dont know. I just feel like something's gonna happen to me."

Carter grabbed my hand. "Hey. Whatever can or will happen, I'll be there with you for the entire time. I'm not going anywhere."

I blushed. "Thanks Carter. So, you mind walking me home?"

" I thought you didn't need a bodyguard to walk you home."

I laughed at him." You're not a bodyguard, you're an asshole."

He chuckled as he helped me carry my books out.

When we got to my house, I didn't see my dad anywhere.

"That's weird. My dad is usually home by this hour. Dad! DAD!"

Carter helped me yell for him. "Mr.Snow!"

We heard footsteps coming down the stairs. There was my dad. Frantically moving around grabbing random items.

"Dad? What are you doing?"

He looked frazzled. "Halo? Oh thank god! Start packing your bags. We're going to the hospital."

Me and Carter talked in unison. "The Hospital?"

My dad ws still moving around. I grabbed him and made him take a seat on the couch.

"Dad, why are we going to the hospital?"

My dad took a sigh. "Lola is pregnant."

Me and Carter's mouths dropped.

"Wait. Why does that involve us?"

My dad eyes filled with tears. " Halo. It's my baby. I'm the father."

OH HELL NO. THIS WASN'T HAPPENING!?!

My fists clenched. "Dad. Stay here and keep packing."

I grabbed my bag and took a knife out from the kitchen. "Let's go Carter."
