"CARTER GET DOWN HERE NOW!" My mother called from downstairs
I get up from my comfortable bed and head downstairs. I walk downstairs to see my mother in a beautiful red dress that flows down to her legs. Wow my mother hasn't dressed up this nice since my father has passed.
It's been 2 years since my father has passed and now it's just my mother and I. The last time she dressed up this nice was when my father took her out on their last date. The day before my fathers death.
"What?" I say back to her with a slight attitude
"Carter why aren't you dressed yet! There gonna be here in less than an hour." My mother says while pointing back up the stairs so I could go change.
"I don't even know what to wear." I say back
"Just put a nice dress on..please this once for me." My mother says with a frown on her face
"Fine" I say dragging my body back up the stairs
I get to my room and walk to my closest I look around to see if I could find some dress that actually fits me. I never really like wearing dresses. I kept the ones from when my father was alive, he absolutely loved the way my mother and I would dress up in dresses when he took us out to eat.
I just ended picking a black crop top with a cute rose skirt that was high waisted. I go to my vanity and apply my makeup. I did up my hair in a cute low bun.
My outfit
My makeup
My hair
"Carter are you done" My mother calls
"Yes I'm coming down" I reply
I get up and put some black heels on. Then I head downstairs
"Oh my.. Carter baby you look so beautiful." My mother says in almost tears
"No mom you can't cry" I say giggling
"Your right I'm sorry" she say with a smile
She starts walking towards the kitchen
"Wait mother.. who's coming" I ask
"Oh it's a our new neighbors" she replies
"Oh ok."
Hmm I didn't know we got new neighbors. I never really acknowledge our neighbors but my mother has, all the time every-time we get a new neighbor she ask them if they would like to join us for dinner. Actually that's how I met one of my most amazing, loyal friends, but he did end up moving a few blocks down for some reason..but we have been friends for a long time. I don't really have a lot of friends. My motto is " I rather and one amazing friend then 10 fake friends" I don't really like having to many friends. That's just me.
I had forgotten that I left my phone upstairs but when I'm about to head upstairs the door bell rings. great.
"Sweetheart can you please get the door" My says from the kitchen
I go to the door and open it I greet the women who's wearing a beautiful maroon dress that goes up to her knees. I see that her husband I assume wearing a nice black suit. I greet them they both walk in and when I thought that was it I hear a male voice behind me sending shivers down my spine I turn around so I'm facing the male who looks like he just came from heaven not even joking he's beautiful hair how messily it looks but it only works on him if any other boy tried to wear his hair how he has it they would look weird. He looks about my age. Just maybe a year older.
"Hello miss" the male voice speaks
He brings me back to reality
"H..hello" I say back shyly
"Well hello.. please please come in" my mother says behind me.
We all walk into the kitchen the smell is absolutely breath taking. My mother usually cooks but it's never smelled like this before.
"Wow Ms. Jones its smells absolutely breath taking" the older male says.
"Why thank you Albert" My mother says
"And please call me Spencer"
"Well I wanna thank you again Spencer. For this meal." The women say to my mother who seems genuinely happy for once in a while.
"Shall we go to the dining room" my mother asks
They nod thir heads yes and we all walk towards the dining room
"Well I just wanna say thank you for going us this evening." My mother says
"Well thanks for inviting us" the women reply's
"I also wanna say mother...this is absolutely amazing." I say with a smile.
She has made chicken with mashed potatoes and asparagus which was absolutely amazing if you get what I said the first time.
"So where's your husband?" Albert asked
"Oh.."
I look towards my mother and I could tell He mood just drop. She tries so hard not to talk about my father. They were madly in love you could tell, yes they had their ups and down but they always found there way back to each other.
"Um. My father he passed 2 years ago after an accident occurred" I say because I know it would've been hard for my mother to reply
"Oh my I'm so sorry guys" the women's says
"Thank you" I say back with a smile
"Is it ok if I ask for your names again" I say with a slight chuckle.
"Ah yes.. I believe we didn't exchange names" the women says.
"I'm Vanessa but you can call my Nessa.. this is my husband Albert and my son Jackson but you can call him Jack." Nessa replies to my question.
"Oh well hello I'm Carter." I say with a smile.
"You go to North High?" Jackson ask.
"Um yes I'm in a senior" I say back .
"Oh yay.. that's were Jackson will be attending." He's mom says
"How old are you?" I ask.
"I'm 18" he says
"You"
"Oh I'm 17"I answer.
"That's cool..."Nessa says.
"Um.. do y'all have a restroom I could use?" Jackson asks
"No..we don't..."
He looks me and gives me a confused look
"I'm joking of course we have one. What house doesn't have one." I say trying to save my ass so my dear loving mother won't give me another lecture about being sweet.
"I'll show you." I say getting out of my seat.
"No..no that's fine.." he says
"No it's ok..I left my phone up there anyways"
"Oh ok"
We both head upstairs to restroom that's right across from my room.
"Hey Jack look we have a restroom." I say giving him and smile.
"Don't call me that." He says in a harsh tone
"Call you what?"I ask
"Jack..only my friends call me Jack and you and I will never be friends." Jackson says getting closer to me
"Good looks..duchy attitude ."I mumble to myself
"Ok..now will you excuse me.. I need to use the restroom." He says bring me back into reality
I walk into my room and pick up my blanket hoping to find my phone. For some reason I'm always losing it. When I finally find it, I realized that I had 2 miss calls from Aria. My other best friend. I absolutely love my best friends to death.
"Hey sorry what's up"
"UHHHH...why did you not answer me Hoe!"
"Because hoe.. I was busy and I'm still busy."
"Uhhhh fine... just gonna call Caden."
"Tell him I said hi."
"Ok..I love you"
"Love you to"
The she hangs up.
"Who was..
"HOLY Shit" I say frightened
