The Covenant: Hidden Secrets
Ch.2 Endings and new beginnings.
Walking out of my room my heart sank and I didn't know if I was truly making the right decision. I turned around and looked at the door. So many things had happened could I give them all up? I just wiped my eyes hoping that the next week would go by quickly. I shot for the stairs and got a shock when I was standing in the middle of them.
"We're getting married!" Caleb shouted holding onto Sara's hand. That's the last thing I remember because I blacked out and fell down the stairs.
"Shit." Carson said as everyone helped situate me on the couch. It was pointless taking me to the hospital for my fainting spells anymore. Whenever I got stressed to the max my mind would take me out for awhile. Not like it helped any I'd be back in an hour or so, sometimes even sooner.
"It's my fault." Tyler said and Caleb just chuckled to himself. "Where's Reid?" Ty asked Carson.
"He got held up." She said while moving a piece of hair out of my face.
"Held up?" Tyler asked confused.
"He was with Murphy when I left. They were drinking so I doubt he'll be here tonight." She said before standing up straight. "Did you guys talk?" She asked looking from me to him. He just shrugged and looked down at me.
"She said we're done." He said scratching his head. "After everything she just ended it."
"I'm sorry." Carson said rocking on her heels.
"Cake?" Kate asked coming over and offering some to Tyler who just shook his head. He headed towards the kitchen and wasn't seen the rest of the night.
"Where's Reid? I haven't seen him since we've been back." Kate said looking at Carson.
"You know how guys are, always wrapped up in something." Carson told him while playing with her fingers.
"Everything okay with you guys?" Kate asked prying a little like she always did.
"Not really. He's just always with Murphy getting shit faced." Carson huffed getting tired of her boyfriend's party style.
"I'm so glad I don't have to worry about that." Kate said looking over at Pouge holding little Jaxson.
"Yeah, but I'm so glad I don't have to worry about that." Carson said and Kate knew what she meant. She was referring to Jaxson. Everyone loved him but everyone knew he wasn't supposed to be born this early. That's when Pouge started making his way over and handed Kate Jaxson who walked towards the kitchen.
"We need to have a meeting." Pouge told Carson who nodded.
"It's been awhile since we've had one of those." Carson smiled thinking about the past.
"I know where'd Tyler go?" He asked and Carson shrugged.
"He went into the kitchen, probably snuck out without anyone seeing him." Carson said while glancing down at me. "How's she been?"
"Distant, besides with Jaxson." Pouge shrugged. "Probably, hold on where's Reid?"
"Drinking with Murphy." Carson said getting mad.
"I might head over there, I miss. Well I miss everyone." Pouge confused.
"We miss you too." I spoke up.
"You okay?" They both asked at the same time and I just sat up.
"Can we get out of here?" I asked and Carson nodded.
"We can go to my house-" And I cut her off right there.
"No, Reid's?" I asked and she nodded before looking at Pouge and speaking quieter.
"Murphy's over there though." She told me and I nodded.
"Is that a yes or no?" I asked kind of being a bitch about it.
"Yeah. We can go if you want." She said not sure of her words.
"Let's." I said while standing up and getting the eye from Pouge. "What?" I asked looking at him before looking to the ground for my heels.
"You know what." He said and I just shrugged.
"Shit happens." And with that I left for the door a found a pair of heels that looked like mine and slipped them on. "You ready?" I asked Carson who nodded before we walked out without another word to anyone.
"I'm driving." She told me and I just rolled my eyes. "What happened with you and Ty?"
"We broke up." I told her before getting into the car without another word. She just stood outside shocked that I was being so short.
"Is it gay for two guys to be drinking together, alone?" Reid asked Murphy looking at him on the other end of the couch.
"No, never." Murphy told him slamming his empty beer can down on the coffee table in front of him. "But we are out of beer." Murphy said looking at Reid with a fuck this night sucks look.
"Because you can't phase yourself. All you ever do is slam beers." Reid told him while finishing off his beer and getting a sad face.
"Yeah, all my fault." Murph chuckled to himself.
"Are you okay?" Carson asked me and I just shrugged. "What do you plan on doing when we get to Reid's?" She asked and I smiled.
"Drinking myself into a coma!" I said while crossing my arms over my chest. That's when my phone started ringing.
"Who is it?" Carson asked as I dug it out of my purse.
"Your brother." I told her before answering it. "Hello?" I asked wondering what the fuck he was doing calling me.
"Hey." He said slowly. "You doing okay?" He asked and I nodded.
"Yeah." I said not wanting to have this conversation around Carson. "Why are you calling me Caleb?"
"My mothers ring." He said slowly and I knew what he meant.
"So that night. Everything you said, it was bullshit wasn't it?" I asked and I could hear him shaking his head over the phone.
"I meant it then, now I know we would never work." He told me and I just nodded.
"True. You can have it back, I'll give-" And that's when my phone went off and the car started to stop.
"What the fuck is going on?" Carson asked hitting the steering wheel.
"My phone shut off." I said throwing it to the ground. "Where are we?" I asked looking around out my window.
"Fuck!" Carson cried looking out the window then trying to start the car quickly, but it kept stalling.
"What?" I asked and huffed.
"The fucking Putman barn is right over there!" She screamed before finding her purse and dumping it out looking for her phone.
"Carson, do you see that?" I asked pointing out her window. She found her phone it was dead too. She then turned her head to look out the window and shrugged.
"What are you talking about?" She asked and I blinked and it was gone.
"Nothing, I thought I saw. Never mind." I told her slightly freaking out in the back of my mind. "Just use and try and start the bitch." I told her as I started to tense up everything was starting again; hopefully the dreams wouldn't come back. Those were a bitch to get rid of the first time.
"Ally!" Carson screamed at me and I turned and looked at her.
"What?" I asked and she shook her head at me.
"I've been yelling at you for like five minutes." She told me tapping on the steering wheel. "The car started. By it's self." She told me giving me an eyebrow raise. "You're looking pale again, like you did when you got all those nightmares. Is everything okay?"
"I thought I saw someone standing by the barn." I told her and she looked out her window quickly before turning back to me.
"I could feel the footsteps." She said and then I heard a thunder clap.
"Carson! Calm down." I told her remembering when her emotions got to the extreme she could change the weather. "Breath." I told her noticing that the lightening and thunder had stopped.
"I hate these powers." She told me remember she had to keep her feelings in check "Will you drive?" She asked and I shook my head no.
"I don't really wanna get out of the car to get in the drivers sit." I said and she shook her head yes agreeing with me. So she stepped on the gas and continued driving to Reid's. When we got there they guys had broken out Carson's hidden bottle of UV.
"You suck!" Carson said to Murphy while pulling the bottle out of his grip.
"Aye." He screamed before she took a big gulp from the bottle.
"We need to talk." She said looking at Reid.
"About?" He asked while pulling a cigarette from his pack.
"The Putnam barn." She said while walking towards the back room.
"I'll be back." Reid said while getting up to go to the back. As he got close to me I snatched the cigarette from his mouth and smiled at him and he just shook his head.
"Hey, Murph got a lighter?" I asked and he nodded slowly looking up at me before handing me one.
"Looking good love." He told me as I sat down on the couch next to him.
"Why always the compliments?" I asked while lightening the cigarette.
"Why always with the questions?" He asked with a smirking smile and I laughed. He then took the cigarette out of my mouth and put it out on the coffee table.
"What the fuck? I'm really stressed and needed that." I said and he shook his head no.
"Go out on a date with me?" He asked and I laughed.
"Why me? I'm so fucked up in the head and-" He cut me off before I could finish.
"And you have a boyfriend, who you love, and you fucked one of his best friends and it's all confusing," He said and I shook my head no then yes and no again.
"I broke up with him tonight." I said before pausing for awhile. "He cheated on me."
"Fuck the bastard," he yelled and I smiled.
"Yeah. I need a drink." I said while getting up and heading to the kitchen.
"What the fuck about the Putnam barn?" Reid asked as Carson sat on his head chugging more of the UV.
"We think we saw someone. I felt someone. I could feel there footsteps. I thought it was just miles away, but she said she saw someone." Carson said almost in tears.
"Calm down." Reid said leaning down and tapping her on her knees.
"Someone was there." She said not calming down very much, but taking deep breaths.
"What if they were just checking out the ruble." Reid said and Carson shook her head no.
"They were there one minute gone in the next second. What if it's Chase?" Carson asked before pouring more of the vodka down her throat. Reid then snatched the bottle from her and shook his head no.
"Slow down, and breath. He's gone and if he was there he would have done something." Reid said and Carson just nodded before kissing him.
"I love you." She told him and he nodded.
"I love you too." He said before kissing her back.
"This feels oddly familiar." Murphy said as I sat on the kitchen counter drinking a wine cooler out of the fridge. I raised an eyebrow at him knowing he was hinting back to the night I sucked his dick in this very kitchen.
"I was drunk that night." I lied while chuckling to myself.
"You seemed pretty damn sober if I remember right." He said shrugging scratching his head. "But I'm always fucked up so who knows?"
"You weren't that fucked up that night." I told him and he nodded.
"I know, and neither were you." He said while walking slowly over towards me with every word before he reached me.
"Were you serious about taking me to dinner?" I asked and he nodded while touching my upper thigh.
"I'd fucking kill for you." He laughed out and I smiled.
"Dinner sounds like a good start." I told him and he nodded.
"So when are you free?" He asked and I shrugged.
"Tomorrow night?" I asked and nodded his head with mine.
"Sounds good. Italian?" He asked and I smiled.
"My favorite." I said smiling before moving his hand. "Let's take this slow." I said and he got a shocked look on his face.
"Anything for you." He told me and I smiled.
"Good, now give me a piggy back ride to the living room." And he did.
"Hey man, what's wrong?" Pouge asked Caleb who was punching his boxing bag.
"Sarah told me she was pregnant." He said while he continued to punch the bag. "And I'm still in love with you sister. You tell me how I'm doing."
