Luke 

"Luke! How have you been?" Samantha Jordan laughed, grabbing onto my arm in the hallways. "My Aunt died a month ago Sam. How do you think?" I groaned, not in the mood to deal with her. 

"I'm just being nice, don't be rude!" Samantha stopped me from walking, pulling my arm back- her grip on my arm, tighter than her ponytail. "Let me go." I growled. "No." She responded. 

"Since I am your girlfriend- you should respect me!" She gasped. I rolled my eyes and felt her grip on my arm harden. "Samantha Jordan. You have three seconds to get off my cousin. Understood?" Carrie shouted from behind me. 

"Ugh. Buzzkill. We we're just having fun." Sam whined. "One." I felt her grip loosen, but she didn't leave. "Two." Her hand left my arm. "Three." And just like that, Carrie was punching Samantha, who laid on the ground- unable to fight back. 

I let it happen for two minutes before pulling Carrie off. "As much as I, loved this- we can't break her boob, ass, nose and lip jobs. She'd make us pay for them. C'mon Rie. We've got better places to be." I smirked. 

"Touch me again, or Carrie, and I won't pull her off." I growled before walking off with Carrie. "What happened?" Carrie asked. "All I saw was her holding you." I sighed before explaining everything. 

"The audacity of that bitch is insane! Remind me why I can't punch her?" Carrie asked. "Publicity. If the press got news about that, how would your parents react hm?" I questioned, which got her quiet. 

"Divorce. I was looking for a stapler last week, so I went into dad's office. I found divorce papers. With moms signature, and dad's missing. He loves her like crazy. He doesn't want it to be over. I don't want it to be over. So much has happened in a month. Reese passing, Ryan and Nora's pregnancy, My miscarriage.. Now a divorce. I can't handle it Luke.." Carrie burst into tears. 

The only times I've seen Carrie cry, is when her grandma passed away and when parents said they wanted to move to Canada for three years. I immediately wrapped my arms around her, rubbing her back as she cried. 

"I can't tell you that everything will get better. Because I don't know that. But I can tell you, that you can do this. You can do life! When we were seven, you broke your arm falling off the monkey bars. You didn't cry. When we were thirteen, your best friend went to juvie for theft. You survived four and a half years without her. 

You and I have been through so much this past month. You can survive this. And if you ever want to end things, come to me. Because I will not know you were depressed and ended your life because nobody helped. 

I love you Carrie Anna Seavey. You are my best friend." I smiled softly as she let go off me. "Thank you Luke. I love you too loser." Carrie punched my shoulder jokingly and I laughed. 

Corey

It was the end of the day. Finally. I had French with Madison and the new girl, Parker Arrieta. She's friends with Madison, and she decided to join our group for the French Project. 

"Salut Les Filles (Hello Ladies)"  I smiled, walking over to Parkers locker, where Madison was. Bonjour idiot, toujours un plasir (Hello Idiot, always a pleasure)" Madison smiled. 

"Oh crap. My mom can't pick me up. Hey, uh I have to go now if I wanna get the bus on time." Parker closed her locker and began to leave, but Madi stopped her. 

"We're going to our cousins house, you should come! Carrie loves making new friends!" Parkers face lit up as Madison spoke. "Really?" I nodded. "To my car?" The girls nodded. 

"I'll text my mom the address, she'll pick me up later. Uh, what's the address?" Parker laughed. She had the prettiest laugh and smile. "I'll send it to you in the car." Madison linked arms with Parker, and they began skipping to my car. 

I rolled my eyes and walked after them 

*Skip the car ride because that shiz is ✨Boring✨* 

"Carrie! Luke! We're here! And we bought a friend!" I yelled out shutting the front door behind me. Two very odd looking people came downstairs. 

Carrie had BRIGHT bleached hair... And Luke.. Lets just say he... doesn't suit blonde hair. "The fuck did y'all do?" Madison screamed. 

"We ditched school and ta-da! We also got a tad bit drunk hehe" Luke giggled. He was that type of drunk. Who laughed at everything, and even when he was tipsy- thought everything was HILARIOUS. 

Whereas Carrie... is the sad drunk. She'll cry over a bird flying to high in the air. "Y-You don't like it?! You're meant to be my best friend Madison!" Carrie cried. "I love it Care-Bear. It just took me by surprise, that's all." Madison smiled. 

"Anyways, go sober up you two. We bought a new friend over." I smiled. They groaned but went upstairs. "Are Carrie and Luke drunk?" A voice asked from behind us, catching us by surprise. We turned around and it was just Daniel. 

"Yeah." Madison and I sighed in sync. "Anyways, Uncle Daniel- This is the new girl and our new friend, Parker Arrieta." I introduced the two. 

"Franny's daughter. I know that name. You and your mom should come over for dinner tonight!" Daniel smiled, shaking Parkers hand. "I'll have to call her, but I'm sure she'd love that. It's been a rough couple of days." Parker shook his hand 

3rd Person

Parker went off to call her mom, whilst Madison, Daniel and Corey waited for the other two. Carrie knew her father hated when people got drunk around him. And so did Zach. 

And just in luck, the two came downstairs. "You idiots! You bleach your fucking hair because you get drunk?! You BOTH know how I feel about alcohol! And Luke, how would your dad feel knowing you drank?!" Daniel yelled. 

"Scold them later dear. We have my new colleague and her daughter coming over for dinner tonight. Send the other 3 home. Call Zach and Alexis to warn them. Carrie, you shall hang out with Parker until her mom collects her." Kaitlyn interrupted. 

Corey, Madison and Luke said goodbye, grabbed their stuff and left. Daniel went into the kitchen to talk with Kaitlyn, as Carrie sat next to Parker. 

"I'm not going to apologise because I'm not sorry for drinking a little. You just happened to see me drunk." Carrie said with a frown plastered onto her face. 

"I don't care." Parker rolled her eyes.
