Chapter 15
Carlisle
Walking back into the movie theatre, I found and took my seat next to Peter. As soon as my ass hit the comfortable seat, my elbows were resting against my knees and my hands held my head.
What have I done?
I need my baby.
I need him badly.
I need to know if he's okay, if…if he still loves me. Right in this moment, it felt crucial to have the reassurance of his love.
"CC, what's wrong?"
Peter's whisper, followed by his warm hand on my back made me sit up. He gasped. "CC?"
Realising I was crying, I haphazardly wiped at my wet cheeks.
Shit, what do I say now?
"Nothing," I mutter, "It's nothing. Jazz and Ed- they went home 'cause Jazz wasn't feeling well."
He shook his head slowly, "Uh-uh. That is not what is making or made you cry. What happened?"
"I'm sorry," I murmured pathetically, "I can't tell you Paw. At least not yet. I just – arg! I just wish time could go faster! You know? 'Cause if it did, life would be so much better! We could be together, we could be happy. We wouldn't have to worry so much, and we wouldn't be hiding! I'm sick and tired Paw. I'm so tired of hiding my feelings."
I exhaled loudly as I finished my rant.
It took me a moment, plus Peter's facial expression to realise I'd said too much.
"It's Edward isn't it?" he whispered.
My breath hitched as my eyes widened.
"He's the one that has you wrapped around his finger. And it's a boy!" he chuckled derogatively. "He's what, seventeen? Carlisle, you know this is wrong."
"It is not!" I snapped quietly, twisting my head.
"It may in fact me illegal if we were to have sex before he is eighteen, it may be morally incorrect, and it may be out of the norm. But it – we – Edward and I are not wrong! We are right. We are exactly right for each other. And as hard as it is and as much as I just want to be with him publicly; I love him. I love him with all of my heart and I will never stop!" I sat back in my seat in a quiet huff. "So don't tell me we're wrong. We're many things; but my love for him is unyielding, everlasting and as right as it could be."
Silence enveloped us for a few minutes as Peter took in my words and I tried to decide what to do. Should I message him? Call him? I needed to apologise.
Edward
"Listen, CC. I'm sorry. I don't have the right to judge or determine the level of your love for him, or whether it is right or wrong. I'm your friend and I support you no matter what. My only concern is for your reputation and safety. Think about what your boss would think or say if they found out, or worse, Edwin's parents."
"Edward," I quietly corrected, still taking in what he was saying.
Shit.
I don't know what I would do if either Liz or Ben – Edward's parent's – found out about us. Not wanting to think about the possible consequences, I sighed quietly before typing out a message to send to Edward.
Love,
Edward, I'm so sorry. I wish
you hadn't left, but sat with
me instead. I hope and pray
that you're alright. I love you
baby, forever. Xx

Pressing 'send', I turn back to Peter who's trying to figure out what's happening in the movie. A few moments go by before I speak again. "I understand your concern. I just hope as a friend you will trust my decisions. I've already told Edward that we won't be having any – well, we won't be having sex," I whispered the word even quieter, "Until he turns eighteen. As for people finding out; neither of us have told – nor plan to tell – a soul until his birthday."
"Uh-huh, and how do you know he'll keep this promise?" He asked with a raised eyebrow.
The one thing I didn't particularly like about Peter, was his utter lack of trust, and his scepticism. But I guess that kind of came as a package deal if you're a victim of a cheating partner.
"Well he's kept it for two years so far," I admit in a whisper, only to see his eyes widen further, "I doubt he'll spill his guts just before we can legally come out."
Realising the movie probably had another hour to go; I decided to leave, my mood ruined. "Listen I'm gonna go, but it was good to see you again Peter. And if you're down this way again to visit your aunt and uncle… give me a call. Maybe next time will be better?" I allowed with a small smile.
"I'll make sure of it," he promised with a wink. "See you later CC. And look after yourself."
Giving him an awkward, sideways hug and saying my final goodbye, I walked out and towards my car. There was no point in watching the movie if my boys weren't even here.
Hopping into my car, I started the engine right as my phone went off.
Reaching hastily for it, I finally held it and opened the new message.
I'm alright. I just wish you'd
sat with me as soon as we
went in. I felt… left out.
-E
Typing quickly, I replied.
I'm sorry love. Truly. I Just
thought that's what parents
did, you know? Sit separately.
-C xx
Taking the hand break off, I reversed out of the parking lot and started my way home. I was only another twenty minutes away from home when I received his reply.
You're not my parent. Whether
people know what we are or not,
we do. It made me feel like a
child. And I felt…jealous of him.
Pulling over on the side of the road, I typed a quick reply before pressing 'send' and continuing on my way.
Love.
I'm so sorry. You have no
reason to feel jealous. I left him in
the cinema bcuz I couldn't stay there
any longer without you. Without
knowing how you were. I'm sorry I
made you feel like a child. You are a
very mature man, and it's one of the
reasons why I love you. Do you still
love me?
-C xx
It wasn't until I finally arrived home; my body tired, yet so tense, that I received a reply from him. Opening the front door before doing the same to his message, I read.
Yes. And I always will, baby. Xx
-E
Feeling a smile spread across my face for the first time in around two hours, I made my way groggily to room. First checking and finding Jazz tucked inside his bed, I eventually collapsed on my own.
Thank Heavens.
Have a good sleep love.
I'll be dreaming of you. Xx

Turning off my light and removing my clothes and shoes, I lay under my covers; falling asleep as a slideshow of green eyes and sexy, bronze hair displayed itself behind my eyelids.
Thanks for reading.
See you all Monday for a long one :)
