Description

Image

.x Carter Evans x.



When you have cancer in your lungs, you learn to love the little things. With that being said, Carter is a nature boy. He spends a lot of his time in forests. He's absolutely awed by all things nature. He's an outgoing boy, and does what he wants. Nobody stops him. He has a bright brain and a bright mind. He likes to make people happy and feel good, because he doesn't want people to experience the type of pain he's experiencing. This being said, he hides away most of his emotions. But sometimes it's a lot for him.

He stands at 6'2 and is pretty thin with not much muscle to speak of. He's never been exactly active, though. And how could he be? With frequent hospital visits and constantly feeling like he's breathing through a straw, he's not inclined to run around. Along with pale skin and piercing blue eyes, he has medium-length dark brown hair. He wears a lot of graphic tees, jeans, and hoodies. He looks, well... ordinary.

He was diagnosed when he was only 11. He's 17 now. Still, he has that god damn cancer in his lungs. He only lives with his mom, who seems to get more distant from him every day. He thinks she's trying to lessen the punch for when he dies.

Really, Carter's looking for something big to live for.

So begins...

Annabelle blushed, ducking her head to try to conceal it. As she did this, Carter waved the question off. "Ate earlier. I'm really impatient, so I just eat during class." He gave a sideways grin. "Teachers hate it." He tilted his head to the side, thinking for a moment. "You look like... a mouse when you eat. It's adorable."

A small, knowing smile tugged at the corners of Kade's lips, but he remained silent, instead focusing on his food.

"Adorable?" Pendley repeated in a surprised, quiet voice. A little wide eyed, she glanced down at the table, her face filling with color.

Carter nudged Kade with his elbow, motioning to the two blushing girls hiding their faces. "I swear, we're brothers. Gotta be." He laughed a little. They even looked kinda similar.

Annabelle tugged on Kade's sleeve as if trying to get his attention, head still ducked.

"Dude, haha, that'd be awesome," Kade replied with a laugh. "I wonder if I have a brother," he added with a thoughtful smile. The tug at his sleeve caught his attention and he looked down over his shoulder at Annabelle. "You okay?" he asked quietly, his voice gentle.

"Bathroom," Pendley murmured, standing. She glanced briefly at Carter and the others before scampering off towards the restrooms.

Annabelle watched Pendley go with a curious expression. "I... I was going to say I need to use the bathroom."

Carter glanced after Pendley. "You should go. And check on her for me."

Annabelle ducked her head more. How was she supposed to check on another girl when she was going to cover up her own problems?

"You should go and deal with yourself first," Kade said with a soft smile. "And then, when you're finished, why don't you see if you and Pendley can come walk back together?" He wanted to thoughtfully touch her arm or give her a pat on the shoulder, but was afraid the contact would embarrass her. Instead, he rested his arm next to hers on the table, hoping the closeness would comfort her.

Annabelle caught his eyes, and found his gaze and warmth to completely overwhelm her with comfort and safety. She smiled, once again a real smile, but this time her eyes sparkled with tears. "Okay," She said softly, before leaving the table to go to the bathroom.

Carter put his head down on the table. "Sorry for pushing her. Just worried about Pendley." He looked at Kade, "You and her seem pretty close already. I hope Pendley trusts me like that."

Kade gave a wave of his hand, a motion that seemed to excuse Carter from any negativity. "Don't worry about it, man," he said with a smile. "She needs to be pushed out of her comfort zone sometimes." He cleared his throat then, his head tilting to the side. "I only met her this morning; I'm not sure what's wrong, but if I can help, I'd like to. I know what it's like to be lost like that."

In the bathroom, Pendley was carefully running her hands through her hair, working to hide the bruises and scars that lined her neck.

"Yeah, me too," Carter said wistfully. He stared into the distance for a moment. "I feel like I'm being selfish. What if, by some miracle, Pendley gets attached to me, and then..." He trailed off into a meaningful silence.

Annabelle entered the bathroom and walked right past Pendley, disappearing into a stall where she changed her bandage. When she emerged again, she washed her hands next to the blonde. "You okay?" She asked softly.

"I don't think selfish is the right word for it," Kade replied thoughtfully. "More like generous or hopeful." He ran a hand through his hair before rubbing his slightly stubbled chin with the tips of his fingers. "Being given the chance to know you - don't you think that's a beautiful thing?" He seemed to get lost in thought, his eyes distant and his jaw relaxed.

Pendley jumped at the sound of Annabelle's voice and whipped around, her hands flying to cover up what she hadn't yet concealed. "I'm fine," she said quietly yet sharply. "Really." Turning from her, she pulled her hair down to cover her neck, flushing lightly.

Carter nodded, even if Kade wasn't looking at him. "You know, man," He began, messing with his thumbs. "Pendley is really beautiful. I have a good feeling about her."

Annabelle, not stable enough to pursue the girl after being rejected so sharply, simply nodded and turned to exit the bathroom, tugging at her shirt sleeves. She jumped when she saw one of the figures blocking her exit. Its mangled body was right in the middle of the door, and as tall as it, too. It was a black, but such a deep black that it shouldn't have existed. It was like the night sky, or space itself, and there was a strange blurred effect around the edges that looked as if it was swirling. Like it was getting ready to suck her in. She was frozen in place, staring at it with her mouth hanging open slightly.

"Annabelle~" It sang in a voice she recognized, a voice she never wanted to relive, but continued to almost every day. She collapsed, hitting the floor with a frighteningly loud thud. She curled up on herself, the figure gone once her eyes were closed but she could feel it. And still, the voice ran through her head, "Annabelle, Annabelle! Just relax, I'm not going to hurt you... Just enjoy it..."

"We've got a set of beautiful ladies, my friend," Kade said with a laugh, though a small, gentle smile played on his lips. "Why don't you invite her to your place? You guys could do your homework together since our teachers seem to want to drown us in papers tonight."

Pendley flinched and turned at the thump. Alarmed by the sight of Annabelle on the floor, she scurried over, wide-eyed, unsure what to do. Only when she realized that the girl was cowering did she look around, unsure what was scaring the girl. "A..Annabelle?" she said softly, panic evident in her voice. Then, a little more boldly, she looked around, innocent face portraying something of fear and anger. "Whoever is scaring Annabelle, go away!"

His head instantly snapped up. He looked excited. "You don't think that'll make her nervous? I mean, I'd love to hang out with her after school. Being alone with her sounds, well..." He blushed. "It'd be nice. I mean, I want to talk to her more and stuff. I just..." He flushed. "I'll do it, dude. Yeah. Right on."

Annabelle couldn't hear Pendley, or sense her presence. The voices got louder, like someone was shouting in her ear, and then stopped completely. She laid there, dazed for a moment. Her throat felt sore. Her arms felt sore. Why... why did it leave? It never just left like that.

Kade grinned at Carter's innocence, but he didn't push the topic. "Don't worry if she says no the first time, either," he added, leaning on his elbows. "I feel like girls turn me down before they realize I'm worth a shot."

Surprise and alarm set Pendley's lungs racing. She took a step back, uncomfortable that she'd spoken in such a way; at home, she'd never get away with such a thing. Shaking lightly, she crouched down beside Annabelle, placing a hand on her arm and giving her a light shake. "You okay?" The girl was so pretty up close it almost embarrassed her to be so close. She shifted slightly, unsure with her closeness.

"Really? And how many girlfriends have you had?" He asked, genuinely curious.

"I'm fine..." Annabelle's voice was hoarse. She pulled herself up, hair a mess. "Um. Thanks. You helped a lot more than you realize." What was it? When she was with Kade, and now Pendley, they didn't bother her. They bothered her any other time, regardless of who she was with.

"Ah, that's a difficult question," Kade replied, rubbing his neck. "If you mean actual girlfriends, three. If you mean girls who have played with my heart, more than three." He gave a little laugh, realizing how lame the words sounded once out in the air. "Let's just say that I'm not someone who takes love lightly."

"You're welcome," Pendley replied, though it was more of a question than a reply in her book. What just happened? Deciding to leave the incident to itself, she reached up, smoothed Annabelle's hair, and took a step back. "Still hungry?" she asked, eyes focusing on the lunchroom down the hall.

"I'm not either," He replied, suddenly getting awkward, as if embarrassed. He shuffled a little nervously. "I've... never had a girlfriend."

Annabelle nodded, feeling warmth rush to her cheeks. Having someone like Pendley caring for her felt like having a mom. She wasn't lying about being hungry, but she knew she wouldn't actually keep the food down.

"Really?" Kade gave Carter a warm smile. "There's nothing to be ashamed in that," he added. "Ever kissed a girl before?"

Feet shuffling slightly, Pendley led the way back towards the lunch room, glancing back every now and then to make sure Annabelle was following along alright.

"I think. Maybe once, in preschool." His brows furrowed in deep concentration. "Wait... nope, damn, that was on the chee-PENDLEY, hello!" He said, blushing, trying to look as casual as possible as he waved to the blonde.

She shuffled close by her back, like a baby duckling following its mother. She instantly felt better when she saw Kade, and she hurried ahead to sit by him. This time, she left out the distance between them, so her side was against his. He felt so warm, even through his clothes. It felt so comforting.

Kade almost spewed his gulp of coke at the sight of Carter's face when Pendley walked back into the room. The boy was surprisingly innocent, especially for his age. Kade almost felt a sense of protection for the boy, hoping for him to succeed in his chase for love. His attention was drawn away, however, as Annabelle sat snuggly up against him. It was his turn to blush, his cheeks filling with color. "Feeling better?" he asked, producing a false cough in order to cover his cheeks as the color dissipated.

"Hi," Pendley said shortly, her cheeks pink. Noticing how Annabelle sat so close to Kade, she decided to follow suit, though she still placed a few inches between her and Carter.
