Juliet.”
Romeo and Juliet? Isn’t that about two people in love? She said she was going for lead earlier , didn’t she? There is no way I am going to watch some guy make out with my girl. “Please tell me you are playing a nun or something?”
“First, I don’t know what I am playing yet , because the roles haven’t been cast. Second, I auditioned for Juliet and I’m really hoping I get it.”
“Nic, are you really gonna take a role where some asshole gets to maul you onstage in front of everyone?”
“J, stop it, no one is going to maul me. It’s a kiss, and it is acting. You are just going to have to get used to it.”
Get used to seeing someone else kiss her and have their hands all over her. Not a chance in hell.
“Anyway, I really want to go to that new karaoke place, Shattered Glass, tonight. What does everyone think?” I knew she was trying to take the attention away from her and the play, but this was not over.
Everyone agreed to go tonight. I couldn’t sing for shit, so there was absolutely no way that I was getting on stage.
Carter
After lunch I still had two more classes . Now that all of my classes were for my major, I didn’t have any with Maddy. Everyone was going out tonight, and I was excited to get back to the way things used to be.
Everything had been so different since the accident. Maddy was having nightmares on a daily basis, but she’d never talk to me about them. I felt like after all this time she had put her wall back up and I didn’t know how I could get past it.
We hadn’t had sex since the accident either. At first, the doctor had told us that we couldn’t for at least two weeks. She had been to see him since, though, and I knew that he had given her the okay. It was not the fact that we hadn’t been having sex that was bothering me, although I couldn’t say I didn’t think about it constantly. I just wanted her to talk to me and stop shutting me out.
After classes were done for the day , Maddy met me by my car so we could go home. I skipped one of my classes earlier and went to set up something for her. I hoped she likes it. When we walked into the house, she sat on the couch and turned the TV on. I couldn’t stand seeing her like this. She never smiled or laughed anymore, and I was scared to touch her.
I walked into the bedroom and after a couple minutes , asked her to come in and help me with something. When she walked in and saw the room, she looked up at me and smiled. “Carter, what is all this?”
I had gotten a dozen roses and put them in a vase on the dresser. And when I just came in now , I lit about twenty candles all around the room. I walked over to her, took her hand, and led her to the bed. I sat down and then pulled her next to me. “Maddy, I love you, baby. I understand how hard everything has been for you and I wish I could make it better. I know I can’t fix everything, but I need you to talk to me and stop shutting me out. I want to be able to touch you, and not feel like you don’t want me to.” I ran my hand down her arm and felt her tense. It was breaking my heart, the way she was right now. “I need you to let me back in, baby.”

Looking around the room and seeing everything that Carter did was overwhelming. I knew I’d been distant lately, and I hated that I was hurting him. Having sex again after losing the baby scared me. I knew Carter didn’t deserve the way I’d been treating him lately, but I didn’t know how to fix it.
I lift ed my hand up and ran my fingers through his hair. He closed his eyes and leaned into my touch. We both needed this and I knew he was waiting for me to make the first move. I touched my lips to his and realized, immediately, how much I’d missed this and him. I moved myself over and straddled him, while I wrapped my arms around his neck.
Carter still wasn’t touching me and I thought it was because he was scared of my reaction. I grabbed his hands and put them
