Annabelle's POV:

My head whipped round in direction of the voice. First afraid - who was it? Then relieved - it was Carter. Angry - it was Carter. My breathing became shakier and heavier as I stood rubbing the tears still sitting in my eyes. "Go away" I snarled, composing myself better than I thought I would have. I turned and started walking as I heard quick footsteps come up behind me. "No wait!" he said grabbing my right arm causing me to wince out in pain. He withdrew his grip immediately as I looked into the green eyes that seemed more grey. I pulled my arm into my body as I said, "this is over. We are over. Just over.". I kept repeating 'over' because it was all I could think of. What was I going to say? I had caused more trouble than it was worth. We had caused more trouble than it was worth. That was a lie. It had been worth it. For the brief short time that it 'was'. "No its not" he said sternly whilst keeping his gaze on me, "not until I've explained". I shook my head vigorously "what else is there to say Carter?", my voice was becoming shakier but I wouldn't let it show, "what can be said has been said. You can't keep playing with my feelings".

There was silence. He didn't speak and neither did I. Our breaths were the only sounds I could hear within miles as Carter stepped forward. "I won't anymore" he responded abruptly out of nowhere as he cupped my face in his hands and crashed his lips onto mine. I didn't react in the first second, or the second or the third. Wasn't that his cue to walk away? What was he doing to me? To my mind? My body didn't give it a second thought however as it responded to that way it always had with Carter. I kissed him back. I wasn't sure if I meant to, if I wanted to but I did enjoy the it. The feeling of fireworks it brought my skin, the smell of him engulfing me and his lips moving in sync with mine. I pushed him away. He stepped back as he placed his forehead on mine, "let me explain" he whispered. I should've thought it over. Let my sense take over but it seemed as if my sense disappeared around Carter as I nodded in return. "I love you Annabelle Walters and I swear I never meant for you or anyone to get hurt". He what? I took a sharp intake of breath as to ensure that I was alive and that this was all real. He loved me? My thoughts could not gather, not process what I had been told and he was just responded to with silence.

"Matt gave me two options. I lost you or I lost Daniel, I thought if I picked you then Daniel may never speak to me again or you ever again and I couldn't do that Annabelle I just couldn't so I had to choose you". There was a silence as I processed his words. Would I have done the same? He had been put in a rock and a hard place. Would I have picked my brother or Carter? Simple. My brother every time. That boy, although he was the biggest nuisance to be born, was still my brother and I loved him too much to let him be angry at me and lose his friends over something we did. I realised where Carter was coming from. It was the right choice. "Matt told me he would leave you alone if I did and that way if he couldn't have you neither of us could and that's why I didn't come and talk to you but if I'd known that bastard wouldn't keep his word then I wouldn't have left your side for a second and I swear I didn't mean for this to happen". He let out a deep breath into the night air as he removed his eyes from mine and had them glued to the floor. Funnily enough... I understood.

In a crazy, weird and unexpected way I understood why he had done what he did and by God he deserved a thank you. I don't know how Danny would have taken it - especially coming from neither party. It would've seemed as if we were going behind his back. I used my index and middle finger to tilt his chin up as I responded to him with a small smile, "in that case I should be thanking you as you've saved me yet again". Carter's well renown grin plagued his face as he shook his head and crashed his lips onto mine.

The kiss grew stronger and stronger as he began to drive me backwards as my back landed on the big oak tree in the park. The tree where I had landed on top of Carter and now had him kissing me passionately. I brought my fingers up into his hair as he let out a groan from the back of his throat as I pulled at his hair gently. Our bodies getting hotter together as his tongue caressed my lips looking for entry and I allowed him so. Our tongues moved in sync as our bodies responded accordingly. Carter brought himself even closer to me even though that seemed impossible and I felt happy, warm and safe in his arms once again.
