Shittt we're on 1.32K reads, thanks guys. Also my updates have been pretty slow because of my trip but I'll be back on schedule by tomorrow ๐
Enjoy
**
Slowly but surely a week came by in the blink of an eye. The goodbyes were kept short, Matty cried but the rest of us didn't..... he's a mommy's boy. Now it'll just be us and dad -except for if Isabella comes back on holiday- and I think we're all happy with that.
Ok I know I said that Matty was the only one that cried but the last thing that our mother said to me made me tear up a little, "Hopefully next time I'll be able to do this right" She murmured before kissing me on the head
That is if she decides to come back....
But now, back to reality. Dad received quite a lot of phone calls from school, they said that my siblings and I have been missing way too much school and that if the patterns continue then they'll have no choice but to call CPS or some shit like that. He's started to work more ever since Mom left and we felt a little bad so we decided to come up with a timetable
"Ok Mondays?"
"I can do drop offs with Logan" June suggests
I write it on the whiteboard
'June drops Matty'
I've started helping Melissa on some Monday mornings, I'm now dropping Grace to school since Maya doesn't live close enough to do so. Carter would but coach finally decided to let him back onto the team and that means more practise, "Adri you and Lola will take turns in the kitchen"
"Great" Adri says sarcastically
"What about dinners" Matty asks
"I'll take Saturday and Sundays, Santi will take Monday, Tuesday. Other days we can order"
"Good?" I then ask
"Good" Zoe says with a mouthful of chips
"It would be good to hear from the Rodriguez clan"
"Good" My siblings say in unison
I put the cap back on the pen, "That's a plan"
The timetable helped, for those wondering.
Back to the present though, it's Monday which marks the first day where the teachers are tracking my siblings and I's presence, "Did you buy breakfast?"
Santi nods, "See you at the party"
"Later" I reply
Yeah I forgot to mention, Carters finally throwing a party at his house tonight. I respond to one of Siennas texts before opening my locker, "Hey" A very very unexpected voice says
I frown as I turn back, "Hey?"
She tucks a hair behind her ear, "So I know that this apology has been way way overdue and I probably should've done it as soon as you got back but the truth is I was a pussy and I just couldn't..... anyway I'm sorry"
I raise my eyebrows as I hold my locker door, "Wow.... That was a lot of words"
"Yeah, but seriously Carmen I am sorry" She says softly
"Why?"
"Why?" She repeats slowly with confusion
"What were you trying to achieve"
"I don't know I guess I just.....- I was jealous" Eliza finally admits
I assess her body language for a moment, I guess I can't spot any signs that show she doesn't mean it..... nonetheless forgiveness doesn't come easy, "Carmen"
We both look back as Carter frowns, "Hmm?" I answer
"Lunch?"
"Oh, right" I close my locker as he puts an arm around me
"You guys are good together" Was the last thing she said before I walked away with him
I didn't know how to respond to that, it was so suspiciously nice. "Sooo, why were you talking to Eliza?"
"She was apologising"
"You didn't believe it did you?"
"I don't know, she seemed sincere"
"Carmen" He says seriously
"She was nice" I defend
"She's fake" He corrects
"You're so cute" I say amused
Carter scoffs as we make it to the cafeteria, "I just want you to be careful"
"And I will be" I assure him before taking a seat besides Zoe
She's in the midst of making out with Aaron, Carter and I look at each other with disgust. "Hi yeah um, we get that you guys have made peace but some of us don't want to see that" June looks at then with disturbance
Zoe finally releases and Aaronย pulls her chair closer, "Aww Zaaron is back" I say amused
"You guys literally make me feel so single" Sienna mutters as she sits down
"Nobody told you to go for a college kid" Logan snorts
"The dick is better"
"Oh my gosh, ew" I scoff
"Anyways" June then says
"I hope that you're all ready to get wasted today"
"I was born ready-... matter of fact I still am" Aaron tells us
"I second that"
"Yeah and please, nobody throw up on my mums rug" Carter says seriously
"Relax, nobody will"
"And what about you Miss Rodriguez? You're all quiet" Sienna says amused
"Oh I'm not getting drunk today"
I've had way too many regretful hangovers
They all exchange looks and I frown, "Who wants to bet?" Aaron asks
"Me" Carter suddenly says, I gape at him and he shrugs
"You'll get drunk, I know it"
I scoff. "You know what, I won't just to spite you"
"We'll see-
"Yeah, we will"
I slap his hand away from my thigh but he eventually puts it back, "Hey Mr and Mrs Miller. Stop making me feel single"ย
"Once again nobody told you to go for my brother"
"And like I said before, the dick is better"
I'm gonna gag
**
"Am I crazy? Why did that bitch just smile at you" Zoe says annoyed
I finish tying my laces, "Oh yeah that. That's the third time now, I ignore it"
Eliza's been trying to show her niceness and it's starting to get just a little creepy. I mean we're talking about the precious queen bee here, the one that threatened to expose me on the internet. Forgiveness doesn't come easy, she needs to know that.
Zoe and I make our way to the sports hall, "One more smile and I'm gonna hex her" She mutters
We were one of the last ones to arrive and I'm glad that we were because Coach just announced that we're playing basketball. And need I remind everyone that Carmen doesn't do sports, she runs but she does not play.
I roll my eyes as we sit down with everyone else, "You'll need to get into threes and practise with one another. Then we'll move on to games"
Zoe does that smile that shows she's planning something, "This is just perfect"
I look at her weirdly, "Why"
She leans in, "If I toss more hoops than Aaron I'll make him go down on me for the rest of the week"
"But... he'd do that anyway" I say confused
"Who cares? Phys ed is fun anyway"
"Off you go" Coach tells us
Zoe wasted no time in speeding off to her man, I was about to sit this one out until Carter gave me the look that says 'come over here before I make you'. "I don't wanna play" I complain
"Too bad I don't care"
I screw him as he puts an arm around me whilst holding a ball in his other hand, "Basketball is probably one of the funnest sports, after football of course"
"When have you ever seen me throw a ball" I snort
Carter hands me the one in his hand before backing away, "Throw it to me"
"No"
"Baby it's just throwing" He says amused
"I'm tired"
"Throw it-
"Just take it-
"C-
"Fine", I toss it behind me carelessly and his eyebrows rise as his eyes follow the direction of the ball
I hear it pass through the hoop behind me which I'll admit even surprised me, I guess I just don't have to try with anything and I'll still succeed.... Kidding. A few others look at me impressed as Carter walks over to me, "Ever considered joining the team?"
I shrug as he picks up another ball, "What can I say. I'm just awesome"
"Miller, Rodriguez"
We both turn around as Coach walks over to us with Meghan, aka the girl who definitely has a crush on Carter but doesn't want to admit it.
"You guys aren't in a three so Sparks is joining you"
I scoff, "Seriously?"
"Cool"
He walks away and she smiles at us, "Know how to shoot?" Carter asks her
"Not really"
"Alright well I can show you-
"Or not"
I try so hard to keep my mouth closed, but it's like there's always a mini Carmen in me that speaks whenever a girl is around him.
They both look at me and I shrug, "Coach is here for a reason"
"Yeah but he looks like he's telling Jonathon off" Meghan replies
He is but that's not the point
"It's no problem I can-
"He can't help you there"
Listen I hear this Meghan bitch talk about wanting to have sex with my boyfriend all the time but I never say anything because my dad is the one to remind me that people like that are not worth my time.ย
Carter sighs as I stand in front of him, "Let's be real Meghan. You're only here to undress Carter with your eyes-
"Shut up" She scoffs
"Sorry she's in a bit of a mood, I promise it's not you" Carter interrupts
I give him the strongest side eye ever and he catches me doing it
"I don't think us three working together will work", He then says
She looks between the two of us before eventually dragging out the word, "Sureee"
And then she walks away. The way that I would love to yank that ponytail off her head, one wouldn't even know.
Carter looks back at me amused, "You always a mean girl?"
I take the ball from him, "Only when someone tries to steal my boyfriend"
Then I stand against him innocently, "Now why don't you show me what you was gonna show her"
"Your shorts" He mutters
I look up, "Hmm?"
Carter grabs my hand, "I tried. Fuck this, we're skipping"
I smile, letting him take me away willingly
~*~
I'll admit, it's weird seeing Carters house full of teenagers.... Of all ages. I guess everyone heard that he was throwing a party and just couldn't wait to finally see what the inside of his house looked like, I'm surprised Melissa even agreed.
"The worst part of all of this is we're gonna have to be the ones to clean the mess!" Maya shouts over the music
I hand her a beer, "Don't remind me"
She clinks her beer against my water, yes water... i'm not losing this bet. "There you are" My little brother scoffs before snaking his arms around her from behind
She smiles at him, "Hey"
"Chris bought the coke" He grins
"Sorry what?" I butt in
"Relax C, it's one night" Santiago assures me
"Let's go" Maya leads him through a crowd of people and I scoff
Sometimes I have to remind myself that my little brother isn't so little anymore, but then again would I even be a big sister if I wasn't at least a little bossy.
"Who's that?" A voice asks from behind me
"I don't know but she's too young to be here" The other says amused
As I turn around that's when I notice Grace, she's standing by the stairs wiping her eyes. "Grace" I widen my eyes before walking towards her
She frowns as she looks around, the party environment is all new to her. "Hey sorry about the noise" I say softly
She continues to look around before taking the hand that I reached out to her, "Let's go"
Thankfully I was able to get her to go back to sleep, I told Michael to lower the music down a little as if that would even do anything. You know what I regret though? Making that bet....
The reason I'm not sitting with my friends right now is because they're all drinking or they're probably already drunk, and yes I know I could just drink and forget about the bet but I like proving people wrong.... It's just one night.
I'm hoping that food can distract me, I'll regret it when the morning comes but right now I just need the distraction. "Still want those?" I ask Tamera as I walk into the kitchen
"No it's cool you can have some" She gives me the plate of brownies before going through the fridge and I thank her before starting to indulge right away
She pauses before looking back at me, "C those are-
"These are good, thanks T" And with that I walk away
Although I probably should've listened to what she had to say...
-CARTER-
I look through one of my draws before putting on another shirt yet again, I had to change because some dick decided to run around whilst drunk and then throw up on me. A knock is heard from the other side of my door and I look away from the mirror, "Nobodies allowed up here-
The door opens and Grace walks in with her hand attached to Aaron's, "She doesn't like the noise" He shuts it and I look at her softly
"Wanna sleep in my bed?"
She nods before lifting up the comforter and I smile a little, "What time is everyone getting cleared out?"
"Latest, three" I answer
"Have you seen Zo?" He then asks me
"No why?"
"I'm hor-
I give him a look to remind him that my sister is in here, "I miss her" He eventually says
"Where's CC?" Grace asks us
"Who?" We say confused
"Carmen", She says in a duh tone
"You call her CC?" Aaron says amused, she nods
"Carmens downstairs with Maya little one" He then tells her
Honestly Grace isn't even supposed to be home but she doesn't really like sleeping over at other peoples houses because she gets shy and won't speak. Unless it's her best friend Jessica's house, but Jess is on holiday with her dad right now so.
The door handle shakes, "Are you cheating? Why's the door locked"
Aaron frowns as he opens it, "C?"
Beyond beautiful she looks, and I've made sure to let her know since the moment she stepped into the house. But I'm wondering where the hell her heels are, her white painted toes are on display.
"Oh my God there you are"
"You ok?" I say amused, she wraps her arms around my torso
"Where've you been?" Aaron asks
"Everywhere"
I hug her back, "What's wrong?"
Carmen pulls away from me, "I need to get fucking wasted"
"You still haven't?" Aaron says surprised
She unzips the back of her dress and he looks away, "No-
"Woah what are you doing" I zip her back up
"It's hot-
"Keep the zip up"
Carmen waves me off, "Aaron's already seen me without a dress"
I frown, "By accident" He adds quickly
She looks back at my sister before smiling, "Hey Gracie"
She's acting weird
I watch as my girlfriend crawls onto the bed before getting into the comforter and lying beside her, Grace smiles before whispering hi.
"Ooh I can show you where the secret stash of vodka is" Carmen whispers back to my sister
"What?" Aaron frowns, Grace giggles and I do a double take
"Wait a minute are you high?"
She stares up at the ceiling, "I'm sober silly"
"Carmen" Aaron says seriously
She sits up before shivering, "I'm not.... But I feel sick"
"Why?" I ask suspiciously
"Tamera gave me a plate of brownies"
My face drops, "Carmen"
"I was hungry!" She defends
"You should've come to me"
"What's wrong with brownies?"
"They're full of weed" Aaron scoffs, Grace frowns
"What's weed?"
My girlfriend gapes before covering her mouth.... Then she starts giggling. "For the love of God" I mutter
"I'll get her some water" Aaron sighs before walking out
"Watch her" I warn my sister, she nods and I head into the bathroom to fetch my phone
Trust Carmen to take edibles without even knowing. I'll make a note to say something to Tamera afterwards, I hear the door close so I leave quickly.
"I said to watch her" I scoff
"She ran away" Grace giggles
I sigh before walking out, "Night" I close the door before heading downstairs
The house is full of a lot of brunettes so I know it's going to be a bit of a mission to find mine.
"You seen Carmen?"
The people that I pass shake their heads and I sigh as I head downstairs Aaron walks out of the kitchen with a bottle of water, "Where is she?"
"She's gone"
"Who?" Zoe frowns
"Carmen.... And she's high too"
"I knew she wouldn't last" She tuts
"Did anyone else eat the brownies?" I ask
Zoe downs the rest of her drink, "Only C. I'll look upstairs"
"I'll look in the front room"
I nod a thanks before pushing my way through a bunch of strangers, "Hey have you seen your sister?"
Adriana shrugs before walking back over to her friends. I checked the bathroom, I checked both front rooms, heck I even checked upstairs again. After another good five minutes I was about to give up, but then I spotted her..... in the backyard.
She's sat besides Chris with her head down, snorting coke. "Oh for fuck sake" I mutter before walking over to the group of guys
I gently pull her up by the arm and she pulls away, "Hey!"
After realising that it's me she places a kiss onto my cheek and then wraps her arms around my waist, "I love you"
"Why the fuck would you give her coke?" I say annoyed
"She wanted to try" Chris defends
"She's already high you asshole"
"No I'm not" Carmen murmurs
I sigh before taking her hand and leading her back into the main house, "Baby"
"Yes?"
"I'm so happy"
"I can see that"
"Are you mad?"
"A little"
"Why?" She asks as I sit besides her on the couch
"Because you're not being careful"
Carmen strokes my jawline before turning me to face her, "C-
She presses her lips onto mine and I'm forced to kiss her back as she holds me in that position, "Carmen" I pull away
"Did you hear me say I love you?"
"I love you too but you need sleep"
She pouts as I get up, "Come on"
I sigh stressfully as my girlfriend kicks the comforter away once more, "Carmen stop"
"I'm itchy!" She whines
"Just stay in the bed"
She sits up so that her face is inches away from mine, "Make me"
"What would it take"
Her eyes look down at my lips, "Give me head-
Oh trust me I'd love to.... Just not right now
"Try again"
I watch as she lies back down whilst huffing, "You're no fun"
"Sleep off the high, we'll play tomorrow" I promise
"Whatever you say" She hums whilst scrolling through her phone
I try to get a peek at her screen, "Relax it's candy crush"
Once assured that Carmen wouldn't be leaving anytime soon, I give her a kiss on the head before reaching over for the lamp, "I'll come check on you later-
"Renzo" She sings
I frown as I look back, "Why the fuck are you shouting?" Her brother questions over the phone
Great
"I ate a lot of brownies and now I'm horny" She laughs
The door opens and Aaron walks in, "You mean you're high" Enzo deadpans
"Why are we in the guest room?" Aaron asks as he shuts the door
"Grace is sleeping in mine-
"Yes, I'm high. Carter won't give me head"
I roll my eyes and Aaron raises his eyebrows a little, "TMI" He mutters
"You're not supposed to tell me this shit" Enzo says with disgust
She twirls her hair around her finger, "Are you kidding? Your my best friend-
"Carter just give the girl her head" And with that he cuts the call
Carmen smiles as she tosses her phone aside, "You done?" I question
She shakes her head, "It's bed time" Aaron tells her
"Aaron did I tell you about the time that I kissed Zoe?"
He snorts, "When was this-
She laughs, "We were sixteen and incredibly drunk"
"I can imagine-... alright sleepy time now"
"I want Carter to stay with me"
"He'll stay until you fall asleep" He replies as I kick off my sneakers
My brunette
