If I
told you I loved you
Chapter
One
Before I step any
closer, Carter hops off his tailgate. He grabs his solo cup, and
comes closer to me. "Hey," His deep voice sends a
series of chills down my spine.
"Hey," I try to keep my cool. I look up to him, the
height difference between us is about a foot. He looks down at
me, his blue eyes are just dark shadows under his hat. Lennox and
her boyfriend grabs my attention when I see her dancing with her
boyfriend, they're so close. I look back to Carter who's
looking towards Lennox.
"Would you ever think she's my cousin?"
Carter sits down on a short hay bale placed away from the
bonfire. "She's like the sister I never had." He
laughs.
"She's my best friend," I sit down next to him.
After a moment of silence, he looks at me, like he's going to
say something.
"Do you want, some lemonade or something?" He shakes
his head and stands up. I stand up along with him and nod. He
smirks, and grabs a cup of lemonade. He comes back, and hands it
to me. "This sounds corny, but do you wanna
dance?"
A slow song comes onto the radio, occasionally staticy. I feel my
cheeks start to burn again, and I nod. After taking a sip of my
lemonade, he takes my hand, and pulls me in close to his chest.
He puts his tough arms around me, I swear, he can feel the
beat of my heart.
"Aw," I can hear Lennox. I laugh to myself, because I
can hear her getting her phone out to take a picture. I don't
look at her, I keep my eyes focused on Carter.
"Riley," He whispers quietly. "I think I really
like---"
"CARTER," A girl storms out of the woods with a
flashlight. I back away from him, and stand next to Lennox.
"You think you can just roll around with other girls while
I'm away, you thought wrong. You thought so wrong."
I look to Lennox, and she takes me away from her boyfriend, and
off to the side. I'm not sure how to react. Do I cry, or get
angry? "What's even going on right now?" I hear my
voice crack when I speak.
I can't hear what Carter is saying to that girl, but I can
hear her blood-curdling screams. "We're so done,"
She quiets her voice down, and walks away somewhere. I don't
walk back yet, I stand quietly with Lennox. The music is turned
off now, and everyone is sitting quietly.
Author's Note: Well, how are you liking it?
If you are, take a look at Riahdeere's story "Take
a Back Road," It's really good! Also, I made a polyvore
