the pirate and the pup - a descendants fanfiction

chapter 8.

carlos' pov.

i was walking to the dorms, hoping for jay not to be there, i really just wanted to cry and be alone, mal has really destroyed me. i know it seems dramatic but, she should be happy for me, i get that she hates him but still.

i reached jay and i's dorm and pushed the door open to see dude asleep on my bed. i slowly got onto the bed and got comfortable, trying not to wake him up and just closed my eyes. i didn't expect myself to fall asleep but i was hoping i would so that i wouldn't have to talk to jay if i'm awake when he walks in.

the soft bed didn't take long to adjust to after so long on a scummy old mattress. he does really love it here, but the barrier is making it hard to feel right.

dude moved closer to me and snuggled his face into the bed and that's when jay walked in.

he stopped when he got inside the door and sighed.

"i-" i cut him off , "just don't, i'm not entirely mad at you. you don't need to apologise." which was true, i'm only mad at mal because she just keeps making it worse and worse.

"but it was half my idea!" he said.

"but you aren't making me feel worse." i cut him off and he took a deep breath.

"just know that i'm doing my best to support you. you know harry isn't my favourite person but i won't let that get in the way." he said quietly.

"thank you." i smiled.

jay went sat on his bed, "you do know the real reason why mal hates uma and harry right?"

"not really." i shrugged, not to bothered for the reason.

he sighed, "mal and harry had some sort of relationship on the isle, pretty much the exact thing that's happening to you, happened to her." he blurted.

"and uma?"

"uma hated her first, because she was 'dating' harry, and so she just hated her back."

"right.." i said a little disappointed, "so, mal only told you?"

"yeah, and she just pushed her feelings away, i'm not saying you should do the same, but.."

i looked at him, "and the reason you hate harry?"

"when him and mal were dating, he just hated me because i was 'to close for a bestfriend', so basically the same with mal and uma." He said

"mhm.." i nodded, a lot of thoughts running through my head.

"i know you're disappointed about mal but, just ignore her the best you can, she'll get over it surely."

"i sure hope so." i say as i lay down properly in bed.

"well good night." jay said turning off the lamp.

"night." i said closing my eyes.
