New Beginning (Book Two)

Chapter 16

"I will tell her everything, do not worry. May I ask why you can't tell her yourself?" I let curiousity get the best of me.

"Its not important. Just tell her." Kyle stood and shoke my hand. "Thank you." He walked away pushing through the crowd. Well his interesting. To think that I was going to kill him a few months ago... I think I need to see a shrink.

I noticed Ash pushing through the crowd to get to me. She pulled me up by pulling on my hand. Leading me outside in the backyard, I looked up at the stars.

"Look at the stars..." I said pointing up. I was completely ignoring the heavy stench of Alcohol coming off of her;indicating that she was intoxicated.

"Oh its so prretty." She said holding the are. Soon enough she was falling to the floor, I used my vampire speed to catch her, and help her down slowly. We were laying in the grass, looking up at stars.

"Each one reminds me of every possible way one individual, like you, can shine." I smiled. She looked at me and smirked, pulling a strand of her behind her ear.

"So what did Kyle say?" She smiled changing the subject.

"Nothing really..." Did I feel bad lying to her? Maybe a little. But I didn't want to talk about Kyle right now, I wanted it to just be me and her.

She wiggled closer, and rested her head on my chest. Sure I've had literally millions of lady partners, but something was different with Ash. It wasn't just about pleasure seeking, I wanted to learn more about her, I want to know her.

Carter's P.O.V

I was definitely not having a great time. Ally was either with Ben or the other girls, so I had no time to talk to her alone. The girls got her drunk so now I have to wait until tomorrow to get the chance to apologize. What was the point of trying to have a serious discussion when one is wasted? They won't remember anything at all. Seeing Ally dance on Ben made me miserable. I couldn't really say anything though because she had the right to move on. She thought I was completely evil, and there was nothing left of my soul. She should be terrified of me... I mean I did try to, I mean Edward did try to rape her. I was the one who kissed her in the backyard, but Edward took it over and tried to get into her pants.

I was so over being the only sober one, who was in a shity mood. I went into the kitchen, opened the cabinet filled with hard liquor and took out the bottle of Bacardi. I didn't bother to grab a cup, I headed out to the side door, and sat on the step. I opened the bottle of rum and drank some. It tasted nasty straight, but I didn't care.

I know I'm being a Debby Downer but Ally, she was everything to me, for the last six months, all I could think about was getting back to her. When I do she finally moved on, oh the irony. I took another gulp of the alcohol, and closed my eyes, filling my thoughts with self pity.

"Hey, you okay there?" My moment of thinking was interrupted by a female voice. I opened my eyes and looked to the right of me, only to find a pretty blonde, in a blue dress.

"I'm perfectly fine, thanks." I said with attitude, and took another gulp.

"No offense, but I think you need some water.." The blonde walked closer making it easier for me to recognize her. I remember now.

The night I tried to kiss Ally at the party, Edward brought this female demon to possess a random person. Its not clear why he did, but the fact is that it happened, and here she was now perfectly fine. Strange.

"I can take care of myself thanks though." I replied with a hint of anger. "Maybe you should go inside, we wouldn't want anything to happen to that pretty little blonde head of yours."

Being my tipsy depressed self, I was trying to scare her off, but it didn't work since she sat right beside me instead.

"Trying to scare me off won't work. I know your type. You'd rather drink than deal with what's in front of you. If I thought you were dangerous I wouldn't have started talking to you at all. So why don't you put down the bottle, and talk to me." She smiled looking into my eyes.

"Hasn't anyone ever told you not to talk to strangers?" I asked with a smug smirk, and then took another gulp of the bottle.

"Fine." The blonde stood and held out her hand. "I'm Jenna."

"I'm Carter." I shook her hand. Damn, she was persistent.

"Now we're not strangers." She smiled, and I chuckled. She sat down beside me again. "You wanna talk about it now?"

"Okay." I sighed putting the bottle down. "I just reunited with my friends after nearly half a year, and my girlfriend Ally moved on with our friend's brother, Ben." Jenna's eyes widened. "Yeah shocking, I know."

"Did you say you're name was Carter?" She was standing in front of me, I nodded. I'm so confused. "Friends with Scar?"

"Um yup." I narrowed my eyes, noticing that she obviously knew more about our vampire lives.

"Um I'm new to your old circle of friends, and I was warned to stay away from a Carter... So I think I should be going..." She started walking away. I could hear her heart beat, it was racing, she was terrified.

"Jenna." I called and she froze, turning back to face.

"Please don't kill me. I'm new to this whole thing, and I don't want to die before I..."

"Relax, I'm not evil anymore. We fixed that probably earlier today." I said with a kind smile.

"Oh." She let out a muffled breathe. "I almost peed myself." I chuckled and so did she.

So maybe one good thing did come out of this night for me. I made a new friend.
