*Zoey's P.O.V*
After my little pass, out the other day, Carlisle had me stay home from school for the rest of the week. It was once again torture. I wanted to go outside, or be anywhere other than my bed. The only perk was Esme was letting me a lot of junk food and watch all the movies I wanted. My dad had public announced his relationship with Bella, causing the tension in my family to run higher than needed.
It was Saturday, and after ignoring all of Carter's text messages and calls. He showed up on my front porch. I quickly answered. It was just Esme and Carlisle home. My dad was with Bella, like usual and everyone else was hunting.
"Hey," I said, looking down at my shoes. I felt bad that I have been ignoring him.
"I was worried about you. You haven't been at school all week. I asked your brother what was going on and he just blew me off." He leaned in to give me a hug. I could hear Esme and Carlisle walking down the stairs.
"I am fine, just been a little under the weather." I brushed it off like it was nothing. He nodded and looked at me.
"Are you feeling better?"
"A lot better." I smiled at him. He looked up from me when he heard a cough from behind.
"You must be Carter, we've heard a lot about you." Carlisle said, as he shook his hand out. "We understand you like our youngest daughter." I blushed a little. It felt weird when Carlisle called me his daughter.
"Yes Mr. Cullen." Carter's voice was shaking a little. He was nervous.
"Please call me Carlisle." Esme stepped forward, "and this is my wife, Esme." Esme gave Carter a hug and quickly stepped back next to Carlisle. "May I ask what brought you to stop by." I closed my eyes, I knew they were being protective.
"I was actually coming to check in on Zoe. She hasn't been replying to my messages so I was a little worried." He smiled at me, and I couldn't help but smile back. "Plus, I wanted to see if she would be wanting to go out with me tonight."
"Like a date?" my voice cracked when I asked the question.
He nodded, "yes like a date." I looked over at Esme and Carlisle. Giving them the "please let me go" look. Esme smiled at me.
"I don't see why not, just make sure she is home by mid-night." Carlisle said, wrapping his arms around Esme waist. I gave them a hug.
"Thank you." I whispered into their ears. Turning back towards Carter, "I'll be right back!" I ran upstairs and went into my closet. I have no idea what to wear. I just went for the simple and cute look. I threw on my dark skinny jeans, a light gold button up blouse, and my light gold boots. I pushed my hair and quickly put some mascara on. I looked at myself. "This will do." I said to myself as I ran back downstairs. "Ready?" I asked and he took my hand. Be safe. I heard Esme call out to me in her mind. I smiled back as I got into Carter's car.
We arrived at this house, in the middle of nowhere. Close to the reservation I wasn't allowed to go on.
"What are we doing here?" I asked, looking at a group of girls walking into the party laughing at something I couldn't hear.
"It is a party, celebrating the end of our season. If you would have been at school, you would have known." He winked at me as he got out of the car and came over to open my door. "I wanted you to be my plus one." He smiled as he took my hand.
"I've never been to a party." I stated as we walked hand in hand into through the front door. The music was loud and there were people everywhere. Dancing and laughing. Carter saw a few guys he knew and pulled me with him. He started to talk to them while I stood back. Some date, I thought to myself. I excused myself as I went to the bathroom. I locked the door and sat on the edge of the tub.
Why am I here? I don't party. My dad would be so pissed if he knew I was around alcohol. My dad I thought. He doesn't care enough to spend time with me anymore, so why should I obey his rules. He is too busy worrying about Bella than rather worrying about me. I pushed myself off the tub and walked back to find Carter.
"There you are," he wrapped his free arm around my waist and pulled me into a hug. In the other hand was a red solo cup, "Want a drink?" He yelled into my ear. He probably thought I couldn't hear him because of the loud music but in reality, he just busted an ear drum. I nodded as he pulled me through the crowd. "Here you go." He handed me a cup like his and I took a sip. It was warm, and fizzy. I resisted the urge to gag but I held it in. "Let's go dance." He yelled once again, downing his drink and filling it up before we left to go to the dance floor.
I drank my whole cup in a matter of minutes, I wanted to just get it over with. We danced for what felt like forever, Carter was very good on the dance floor. He kept going back and forth getting me a refill. I didn't even know what cup I was on anymore. I looked at my phone once I walked outside to get fresh air. 12:04. "SHIT!" I yelled. Carter came outside stumbling over his feet, I giggled at him.
"You okay?" his words slurred.
"I am late. We need go home." I pointed at my phone.
"Okay lets go." He reached for my hand and I tripped over my feet. Luckily he caught me. He shook his head at me and step me up straight. "Silly girl." he said as he pushed my hair back. He slowly started to kiss me, and I kissed back. His lips were soft, but he tasted like beer. He pushed me against the railing on the deck, as he roughly ran his fingers through my hair.
"Ow," I groaned. Carter's grip was tight. "You're hurting me Carter." I tried to push him off but he kept kissing me. "Carter." I yelled and he stepped back.
"Sorry," he said holding his hands up, "I didn't mean to hurt you." I smiled at him and took his hand.
"I think you should take me home," I kissed his cheek and we walked to his car. My phone was buzzing. I looked down to see Carlisle calling me. I knew I was in so much trouble when I got home, if Carlisle was calling.
Carter pulled out onto the road and started to head to my house. My head was spinning, and I couldn't feel my legs. I was defiantly drunk and I knew there was no way I could get in my house passed my family without them knowing. I was so screwed. I groaned as Carter took a sharp turn too fast.
"Slow down," I said to him. I knew he shouldn't have been driving drunk, but at this point my mind was too gone to even stop him.
"I got this baby," He grinned at me. He gave me a kiss on the cheek and when he looked back at the road there was a bright light shining into our eyes. "SHIT!" He yelled yanked the wheel to the right. Causing him to lose control of the car. We were flipping. I could feel glass hitting my skin as we flipped over and over. There was loud screaming noise. It took me a moment to realize it was me. We landed upside down and I looked over at Carter. He wasn't moving and when I reached for him I saw blood flowing down my arm. I started breathing heavily, everything started to go black and before I knew it, darkness took over.
