Chapter 1
Carter
"Caaaarter, it's time to get up!" I rub my eyes and open them to see my brothers LIam and Alex hovering over me, Alex playing the guitar and LIam singing his "Wake Up" song. i cover my head with the duvet only to have them crawl into my king bed and keep singing.
"SHUT UP LI I'M SLEEPING! YOU TOO ALEX!" I groan as they keep singing.
"No can do baby sis, it's the first day of junior year, and I am not going to miss the 'I'm driving' argument," Liam chuckles and sits up.
"Sorry Car but i'm driving," Alex grins and covers himself up. "Whyy did you get the good bed?" he whines.
"Because i'm older that's why," I laugh and poke my tongue out at him.
"Yeah by 15 minutes," I hear him mumble and Liam and I start laughing.
"What was that? Nothing? I didn't think so," I reply with a smirk. "alright Alex, you can drive, there is no need for you to whine like a little bitch. Should we start calling you Alexa?" I start snickering.
"Shut the hell up ya jerk and get ready," Alex says to me.
"Alrighty Alexa, I'll be down momentarily," I reply as I burst into hysterics.
After a whap on the head from Alex, the boys walk out of the room, arguing who gets to sit at the head of the table. I hear liam and alex playing rock paper scissors on their way down the stairs. as i stumble out of bed i hear liam grumbling, signaling that alex had won the argument. i laugh at their stupidity but keep walking towards my bathroom.
i reach the shower and turn it on, stripping down and stepping into the scalding water. it burns and relaxes my muscles as i start to analyze and plan my day.
today is the first day that i have to see my ex-boyfriend Johnathan since 4th of july. i was hopelessly in love with him and i still am. i decide i have to look cute today since most of my classes are with him, even though he's a senior.
i wash my hair, body, shave my legs, and hop out of the shower, wrapping myself in one of our luxury towels. i walk towards my walk-in closet, opening the door and stepping inside.i walk along the rows of clothes, and settle on a bright pink, navy blue, and white maxi dress with a pair of white flats. i open my jewelry cabinet, and i pick out a long black necklace with a tiger charm, dangle white feather earrings, and the ring Liam got me for my birthday. I curl my brown hair loosely, brushing through it with my fingers as i walk towards my desk. i grab my brown fringe purse, stuff my phone and wallet inside, and head downstairs. as i walk into the kitchen i smell bacon and eggs, and i see liam and alex at the table stuffing their faces faster than pigs.
"Boys slow down or you'll choke," my mother Jaime exclaims.
"Sowwy mummy," alex replies, while grinning with is mouth full and liam and i lose it and start laughing.
"Alexander James Payne do not talk with your mouth full! How many times do i have to tell you that boy?" my mother says while swatting the back of his head with the newspaper. "Carter honey do you want some eggs?" she asks eagerly.
"no mum i'm okay i'll just have an apple and some orange juice," i reply with a smile. i'm on a diet and mum doesn't' like it, so she always tries to make me eat all the time. "Alex get your ass up i'm going to go grab a jacket, my schedule and brush my teeth and then we are leaving. Get ready. NOW!" i bark at him. he gets up and puts his plates in the sink and darts up to his room to get his stuff.
