Chapter 13

Bad News & Sleepover

I turned to see someone leaning on Chase's shoulder. We stopped kissing and I looked everywhere and landed on them.

"Dalton, what's wrong, baby?" Janelle asked me. I was distracted of course.

"Nothing," I said nonchalantly.

I saw them, it was Scarlette sleeping soundly despite the noises made in the party. Chase was just trying to act casually. I saw him gently brushing her hair to the side because it fell on her face.

Jan giggled. "Look at the cute couple there," she pointed at the two.

"I agree. They look cute together."

Somehow, my heart filled with love, was feeling down right now. Like there was weight on it. I took a deep breath and ignored the feeling.

Chase who was staring somewhere else pulled her closer to his body and tried to hug her. My eyes widened in surprise. He's never done that to a girl.

I saw her frown in her sleep and woke up, trying to let go of his grip. He tried to act casually and looked somewhere else. She woke from her nap.

After that, my heart didn't have that big weight anymore.

"Can I go home?" Scarlette asked drowsily.

"Okay, let's go then," he stood up.

Scar looked at me and weakly smiled, then bowed. They both left after that.

What was I experiencing just a moment ago? We decided to leave the party because there was less people and it was getting late. School starts again tomorrow.

I woke up to the sound of sweet laughter. I got on my feet, and walked down stairs quietly. I saw my mom talking to a guy, looks to be about her age.

"Morning Scar!" My mom greeted me.

I gave her a puzzled look. Who is this man?

"Hello, good morning," the guy greeted me. He had a british accent.

I nodded my head politely at him.

"Scar, this is Carter. My Fiancé," she introduced me to him. They reunited and held hands.

All I could show was shockness. Since when did my mother get a fiancé? I mean, how come I just met him now?

"C-congratulations," I gave them a smile.

"Honey, I know this will be a big shock, but we are moving to London," she announced.

My jaw dropped to the ground. Did I hear her right? London?! I was definitely going crazy. I was probably wide eyed right now.

"W-when?" I inquired.

"Next week," she replied, thrill in her voice.

"You're kidding with me right? Next week is Christmas!" I exclaimed.

"And is Royce okay with this?" I asked her.

"I'm not kidding. And yes he is. In fact, he's very excited."

I looked at the clock. I was running late than usual. I ran to my room, dressed in my uniform and headed out. I can't believe this.

I arrived to school with me running all the way there. Sweat formed on my face and I wiped it off with my hands. I can't believe I'm moving to London!
