At school

I see Carrie talking to some people and then she breaks away from them. Perfect!

"Carrie wait" I yell , grabbing her attention.

"What do you want, Molina?'

"I just wanted to know if i saw you at the Orpheum the other night"

"Yeah my dad wanted to go"

"Of course, thanks for coming"

"Yeah" she says confused

"Well that's all i wanted to say. Have a great day Carrie" i say smiling at her and turning away.

"Wait Julie" I smirk and turn around. Being her ex best friend has it's benefits.

"Whats up?"

"Could you come over later or something? I wanted to tell you something that i wasn't sure you knew"

"Sure! I can come after school"

"That works" i smile again, a real smile. I turn back and run off towards class. I attend the rest of my classes like normal. Instead of going to lunch, I ran home to tell the boys. I go into the garage but they are nowhere to be found. I walk inside to find them both sitting on the couch watching star wars with my dad. I watch as Han solo gets stabbed by Kylo Ren. All three of them scream at the TV. I chuckled lightly and Alex turned around.

"Umm do y'all want some more drinks?"

"Alex don't worry, i'll grab them" my dad says moving to get up.

"No Mr.Molina, I insist. I'll just be a moment '' Alex says, hopping over the couch and walking to the kitchen. I follow him quietly.

"Julie what are you doing here?" Alex ask filling the glasses

"I'm going to carries today"

"What- how?" alex ask dropping ice.

"She asked me"

"We gotta go too"

"It's too risky"

"And so is sending you in alone"

"Fine, I got back to school. Meet me there at 4:00pm '' I say, I grab an apple and run out through the back door. I shut it quietly and make my way back to school. The rest of the school day is a blur, all I can think about is after. My final bell rings and I shoot out of the classroom, I run to my locker and grab my things. I start running but I hit someone and I fall down.

"Well hello Julie Molina"

"Oh nick, i'm so sorry i ran into you"

"Your in quite a hurry"

"Yeah i just gotta get home"

"Mind if you accompany you home" Nick asked, grabbing my hand and pulling me up.

"That's really nice of you but not today" I replied. I pick up my bag and leave the school without another word. Once I'm finally home, I check the time. 3:45, there's no way I'm gonna make it.

Wait....

"Dad?" I yell from upstairs, I run downstairs and find him in the living room.

"Julie, sweetheart what's up?'

"I need to borrow the car"

"What?"

"I have somewhere to be at 4:00"

"Julie, you're really gonna drive?"

"Yeah I am" I shallow the nervous feelings growing in my throat and push it down. I can't think about him right now.

"I know you want to move on but it's a little-"

"Dad, i'll be fine"

"Okay" he hands me the keys and I run to the door.

"Dad, thanks so much," I ran to the car and saw the guys.

"ALEX, REGGIE IF Y'ALL WANNA COME THEN COME ON NOW" i yell

They both jump in the backseat and I climb into the driver's seat. It's been almost a year since i've done this. I push the memories back and shift into drive. I start to speed down the road. 10 minutes later, we're there. I tell the guys to stay here and go around back. I walk up to the door and knock hoping it's not Trevor. Luckily, it's Carrie
