Chapter 316
My plan was to tell Carter I was pregnant but with everything else that was going on with him I decided against it. The car ride home was quiet, but Jake didn’t seem to mind. He looked to be deep in his own thoughts.
I was worried about Carter. It seemed he had the world on his shoulders. He didn’t want to go home and yet he felt he had to. A sigh fell from my lips as I rested my head against the window. “You hungry?”. He asked.
You think I wouldn’t be seeing as we’ve just came from a restaurant. Shame I didn’t get to eat much. Alanna didn’t return with Jake and that cause Carter to up and leave.
If I’m being honest the whole night was a damper.
“I just want to go home”. I didn’t want to stop anywhere. I wanted to get home and get straight into bed.
“Carter’s a big boy babe. He can look after himself. You don’t need to worry about him”. He placed his hand on my knee and squeezed. “He’ll be okay p>
He would be okay but I still worried. He was my only blood family left here. Well apart from my dad but right now he didn’t matter. Carter mattered.
“I’ve never seen him like this before”. I chewed the inside of my cheek. “He seems so lost p>
“He has a big decision to make and only he can make it p>
We didn’t talk anymore on the matter. As soon as we got home, I grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge and headed straight upstairs.
Jake wasn’t far behind me. I was already wrapped up in bed with the tv on.
“Are you feeling, okay?”. He asked pulling back the covers and getting in beside me. Like always he wrapped his hand around my waist and pulled me onto his chest.
“I wish there was something we could do for him p>
“In this situation Leah we can’t but he always has a place here regardless of what he decides to do”. Some paragraphs are incomplete if you are not reading this novel on.

“A little sicky but nothing I can’t handle”. I snuggled closer to his chest and fixed my eyes on the tv. I wasn’t paying attention but sometimes I liked the background noise to fall asleep to.
“Have you been sick?”. He asked.
I shook my head.
“Are you in any pain p>
“No pain I’m just tired p>
A chuckle fell from his lips. “Is that your way of telling me to shut the hell up and let you sleep p>
I couldn’t hide my grin. Lifting my head my lips found his. “Yeah”. I replied.
