Street Lights – 7

*Carter’s POV

THIS HEADACHE. Damn, I don’t even know what time it is! Or.. Where I am for that matter. Who’s garage is this? Hm. Look at this sorry ass couch. More importantly, who’s cooking bacon and eggs?

Good God, my stomach… and my head.

I get up and get dressed slowly. I don’t know why my clothes are all over the place, but they fucking reek of sweat and bad beer. I’m not liking the vibe I’m starting to get from this place. Did something happen here?

I creep out of the garage and into the house. God, it’s so cold in here! I don’t know who’s house this is but.. wait just a gahdamn moment! That red cup sitting on the bookshelf!

Oh fuck! There was a party last night! Link’s party! Did we…? Did I…? Oh. My. God. I have to get out of here, pronto!

I start patting myself down looking for my gun, but I can’t find it. Damn! I need to find it!

I slip back into the garage and tear the place apart looking for it. Damn. Damn. Damn. I need to find it and get going! I should have never came over here! I can’t believe I made Link…. GOD. I’m a fucking monster!

I look in-between the cushions, in the cabinets, in the washing machine and dryer, around the work bench. Damn. No where to be found. I did find my phone though..

I turn my iPhone on and check the time. 11:13 am. Oh and a few missed messages from Avery, my bro from the team. I wonder where he is right now.

I creep out of the garage again and lean on the wall. The house is set up similar to mine so I shouldn’t have a hard time trying to navigate without being caught. I mean, I used to be here all of the time way back when I was cool with Link.

On the first floor there’s the garage, living room, den, kitchen, bathroom, and a day room. On the second floor there’s 3 bedrooms, a master suite, and a bathroom.

Where I’m standing right now, I have a clear shot at the stairs, to the left of the stairs is the living room and to the right is the kitchen. Under the stairs is a door that leads to the day room.

Ok, think Carter. I didn’t go into the day room, that’s for sure. The first place I went was… his room. I wanted to wait for him and try to talk to him, but the shit was locked.

Next place I went last night was the living room and danced for a little bit with a few random bitches. Then I went to the kitchen, got a cup, went outside and played spin-the-bottle, kissed Link..
