a new beginning chapter 6

Carter never, never, left home without his phone, yet there it was, sitting on the bed. I walked into the room, not thinking anyone would be there. I stepped into the room and practically had a heart attack.
"Carter? Why are you here? I thought you left?"
He frowned. "I'm not staying I forgot.."
"Your phone.. Yeah I was just coming to see why it was still here."
"Forgot it I guess. But yeah I got to go. I'lI text you later."
Before I even had time to reply, he was gone. I sat down on his bed and cried. I pulled my knees up to my chest, trying to hold myself together. I could feel my phone vibrate again in my pocket. I guess that makes 5 messages. I rolled over onto my side and let go of my knees. I pulled my phone out of my sweatshirt pocket and opened it. 1 message was sent by mom from earlier. Delete. Another one was from my best friend Sam. Delete. The next one was from my dad. I didn't even bother opening it, delete. The next 2 were from by boy friend, Bobby. "Where areyou  baby? Haven't seen you all day?" the next one said, "You there?" Delete, and delete. You see, I may be a tom-boy and my life may be falling apart, but at school I'm known as the girl that is friends with everyone, knows everyone, and can pretty much get away with anything, because of Carter. But, know one knows the truth. No one knows my dad is gone, my brother is gone, my mom is a wreck, and everything and everyone is crashing down around me...
