Chapter 23
As I walked upstairs I wondered if Carter still had feelings for me. I remember how I used to like Carter and how nice he was to me. I remember how I broke his heart by going out with Richard the next year of school after I said I would be his girlfriend the last. On my way down the hall I bumped into Karen.
"Excuse me." I said.
"Abs wait... it was Carter wasn't it?" she asked.
"I don't know what you're talking about." I said trying to walk around her.
"You know exactly what I'm talking about... and if you want to keep it a secret you'll tell me the truth." she said. I knew this would happen one day... this b***h is blackmailing me.
"Fine... he was the father... happy." I said.
"So that would make you his first." she said.
"Yeah... now will you get out my way?" I said. Just then Carter came walking up the stairs.
"Hey daddy." Karen said to him laughing.
"Leave him alone!" I shouted waking everybody else up.
"What's going on?" Luka asked walking out of the room sleepily along with Susan and Richard.
"Nothing... I was just on my way back to bed." I said. "Then this b***h stopped me." I said.
"Don't call me a b***h... I'm not the one who slept with every guy here!" she yelled.
"Abs what's she talking about?" Susan asked.
"Nothing... she's just telling lies again... you know like a b***h!" I yelled.
"No... This time it's not a lie... I was there remember." she said.
"Karen SHUT UP!" I screamed.
"Abs... why are you yelling?" Luka asked.
"She can't deal with the truth... that's why she's yelling... wanna know what it is?" Karen asked.
"No." Luka and Richard said.
"Yes." Susan said.
"Girl vote wins. I'm talking about Abs first time." Karen said.
"My brother?" Susan asked confused.
"That's what she wants to believe... but in reality her first time was with-."
"Karen you b***h SHUT... UP!" I screamed.
"John Carter." she said.
"You B***H!" I said punching her. Luka then grabbed me.
"She even got pregnant and had an abortion." she said backing away from me.
"YOU STUPID B***H... I'LL FREAKING KILL YOU!" I screamed trying to break free from Luka's hold.
"Is this true Abs?" Susan asked.
"I'm sorry Susan... I never meant to hurt you." I said starting to cry. Susan then walked over and smacked me in the face.
"I hate you!" she yelled slamming the door to her room. Leaving me Carter Luka Richard and Karen standing out in the hall.
"Susan open the door... please open the door." Carter pleaded.
"Go away Carter... please!" Susan yelled from the other side of the door.
"Susan... it's me... Richard." Susan then opened the door and pulled Richard in.
Karen started walking to her room laughing. "Now who's the b***h." she said.
"You." Luka said. I laughed for a brief second at his comment.
"Carter why don't you stay in Richard's room tonight." Luka suggested. Carter then walked over to Richard's room and shut the door. Luka then dragged me into our room.
"I knew this would happen if she came." I said outraged.
"Why didn't you tell me?" he asked.
"Tell you what?" I asked.
"About Carter!" he yelled. "I mean Richard is one thing... but your best friend’s boyfriend." he said judgingly.
"It was way before he was her boyfriend... I was 14 and stupid... and all I wanted to do was forget it ever happened." I said putting my face in my hands starting to cry.
"But an abortion." he said.
"I was 14! What would I do with a baby?" I yelled. "Just leave me alone." I said curling up on the bed. Luka walked out onto the balcony and slept in the chair out there.
Our trip seemed to have ended before it even started. I just knew we would be going home tomorrow. Everyone was mad at me... I was mad at me. Who knew one game of truth or dare could lead to a tragic turn of events
