Hey! :D So yeah this is going to become a series! :D Okay just give a little of Carter's information.
She is somewhat like Nikko; she doesn't like being told what to do. She is quiet sarcastic and she loves the color black. She isn't a sweet girl. She can be your dream or your worst nightmare. She is the type of girl that inhales smoke, but exhales glitter. She is a lady that knows how to play the game(;
Anyways Enjoy! :D
Why don't you break my heart
Make it hurt so bad (so bad)
Come on give it your best
Nothing less, I insist,
I want it just like that (just like that)
Why don't you break my heart (oh)
It sounds good to me
Do it over again, again, again
You're just what I need
Carter sighed going through her clothing, she tried to change it up every once in a while, but she frowned at her clothing and she glanced around her black and purple room. Black and purple have always been her favorite colors it was for a reason too. It reminded her how she survived. Her eyes fell upon a little mini tiara that was on her desk.
She pulled her shirt over her head tossing it into a corner of her room. She grabbed a dark grey tank top that said "Fuck off" on it, black skin tight skinny jeans and black converse. She walked toward her vanity and sat down on the stool, she applied her heavy black eyeliner around her eyes and that was it. That's all the make she wore.
Eyeliner
That was less make up than what Courtney and Janet wore. She looked at the small tiara, she grabbed it clipped it to the side. She cocked her head to her reflection.
So this is what it's like she thought being free.
Her phone started to ring, she jumped up from her chair and ran to it, before it went to voice mail. She checked the collar ID so she knew it wasn't him that was calling.
Courtney.
She answered it "Hello?"
"Hey! Okay so can you come to practice after school?"
"To show choir?"
"Yeah! It'll be fun, plus we're going to the bowling alley today."
Even though Carter thought it was bad idea, because she knew Nikko would be there and well show choir annoyed the living hell out of her. "Yeah I guess I can."
"Great! You can go with Nikko."
"Wait what?"
"You guys can walk together, you guys live close together."
"Wait we do?"
Why did Courtney know more than her? Carter never knew. Maybe it was the fact Carter tried her best to be invisible, but at the same time to be heard.
"Yeah you guys do!" Courtney said "I can't believe you didn't know that."
Carter scuffled "It could be just because I do not care."
She heard Courtney mumbled something, but she didn't understand what she had said "Are you going to go?"
"Yeah sure."
Carter hung up, and grabbed her phone stuffing it in pocket; she walked out of her bedroom and walked down the stairs. She heard her sister, Callina, in the kitchen. She looked at a picture of her mother that was on the wall.
She died a little inside.
She had her mother's eyes and smile, yet she had her father's hair color and skin tone. As Callina had their father's blonde hair and brown eyes maybe that was a sign that they would never be the same.
She quickly walked out of their house without a word to Callina, not that she was hiding from her. She was hiding from the fact that she was a burden to her older sister's life.
Carter's mother, Cassie, seemed not to care for her daughter. That's why she forced to live with her older twenty five year old sister, but that's Carter's opinion.
She didn't go to school with Janet and Courtney. She couldn't get into school, because her mother has yet to send her transfer paper work. But she met Janet at a karaoke bar a couple of months ago, then she met Janet's friend, Courtney.
Janet and Courtney knew how to play it safe.
It killed her inside.
Carter Wilson was not the girl that was known to play it safe.
No this teen was not to known to be safe.
She rebelled against anything her mother or father told her, which got her to where she was now. But it was her mother that didn't want to deal with the after math, her father wasn't even sober enough to care.
Callina was all she had.
Carter walked into the stage room while looking at her phone, she didn't seem to notice Janet skipping toward her. She looked up from her phone and gave her friend a fake smile.
That's how it worked.
That's how she got through her days.
Fake smiles and laughs, she was sure she was good at it, because no one seemed to notice. She hoped no one would notice the fake smiles and fake laughs, because then her façade would break and ever
"Hey! You made it!"
"I told Courtney I would come," she said lamely.
"Oh," Janet said "Well come on! Mr. Twed wants to hear you sing. HE's our music teacher,"
Carter turned around to walk away, but then Janet grabbed her arm and dragged her done the aisle. Janet may be small and scrawny looking, but the girl knew how to hold a grip. Carter struggled against her friend's grip.
"Janet! I don't want to sing! I did it last night! Isn't that good enough! Janet let go!"
"Oh you're back," Nikko said from the stage.
Carter squeezed her eyes shut and exhaled "For the love of God," she mumbled
"Mr. Twed this is Carter Wilson, she's my friend! The girl I was talking about," Janet motioned the man with middle aged blonde man. "And Nikko was complaining about."
Carter tossed her head toward Nikko's direction "You spoke about me? How sweet of you,"
Nikko rolled his eyes and hopped off the stage "I have no idea what makes you think you are better than us."
"I never said I was better than The Tackies. I said I was better than you." Carter growled
"Alright, Carter, why don't you show us, that you are better."
Carter mentally kicked herself for saying that in front of a music teacher. "Do I have to?"
"Yes,"
"Fine," she snarled out and walked up the steps to the stage and looked through the ipod on the stereo till she found the right now. She finally decided on Unbroken. She guessed this was suitable. She didn't really know, but she started the music and got in position for her to dance. Yes, she could dance, and yes she could sing.
After all the girl had been singing since she was four. Nikko crossed his arms and stared at her with raised eyebrows. She threw him a smirk like he did to her.
Once she knew where to begin she started to sing.
Locked up tight
Like I would never feel again
Stuck in some kind of love prison
And threw away the key, oh, oh
Terrified until I stared into your eyes
Made me stop to realize
The possibilities
So, so
I'm gonna love you like I've never been broken
I'm gonna say it like it's never been spoken
Tonight, tonight I'm letting go, go, go, go
I'm gonna give it like it's never been taken
I'm gonna fall like I don't need saving
Tonight, tonight I'm letting go, go, go
So played out
The same lies with a different face
But there's something in the words you say
That makes you all feel so real
I'm gonna love you like I've never been broken
I'm gonna say it like it's never been spoken
Tonight, tonight I'm letting go, go, go, go
I'm gonna give it like it's never been taken
I'm gonna fall like I don't need saving
Tonight, tonight I'm letting go, go, go
No need for me to run, run, run
You're making me believe in everything
No need to go and hide, hide, hide
Gonna give you every little piece of me
I'm gonna love you like I've never been broken
I'm gonna love you like I've never been broken
I'm gonna love you like I've never been broken
I'm gonna say it like it's never been spoken
Tonight, tonight I'm letting go, I'm letting go, go
I'm gonna give it like it's never been taken
I'm gonna fall like I don't need saving
Tonight, tonight I'm letting go, go, go, go
The Tackies and Mr. Twed's mouth were hanging open considering that Carter just danced and sang that song with a problem.
"Well?"
"Well, that was great."
She mentally rolled her eyes. She was forced to sing in front of the Tackies and now all she did was "great".
And that's all she was.
Great never the best.
Nikko and Carter were back to walking to the bowling alley in another awkward silence. Nikko looked at Carter who was quiet. She looked upset after she got her feedback from her singing. He wondered why.
"Hey, you know you are an okay singer."
She rolled her eyes "Thanks I guess."
"But still not as good as me."
She stopped walking causing him to stop also. She looked like she was about to explode.
"What the fuck is your problem!" She shouted.
"Nothing's my problem; I just don't think you are as good as me."
She groaned and stomped away from him. He had to jog catch to her, he grabbed her arm and turned her around to face him "Hey I'm just saying…"
"You're a prick."
"How nice."
He liked this girl, she had a feisty temper. She was pretty interesting.
"I am better than you."
"You are not."
She rolled her eyes "Okay, Nikko, that's it. I suck as a singer. You happy now? Can I go back to not knowing you?"
He smirked down at her once he realized how close they were. She noticed to, she took a step back.
"I should go home," With that she pushed past him and walked down the sidewalk.
Nikko turned to see her walk away.
What was that about?
Okayy that was okay I guess. I like this story so much! I am finally going to my angst/hurt and comfort genre(: hahaha!
