Maddie's POV
"What do we do, Carl?" I say.
"I don't know, ok?!?! Everybody depends on me! I don't really care what we do! I'm not the leader! So just SHUTUP!" Carl yells in my face.
What? What's wrong with him? Why'd he yell at me?
Then he storms out of the kitchen and runs into his room, slamming the door behind him.
"What the heck is wrong with him?" Justice asks.
"I don't know. Did I say something that hurt his feelings?" I ask back.
"No, I think he's just angry at you. I don't know why, though." Hannah answers.
Then Blake walks into the room.
"What's going on?" he asks.
"Go ask Carl." I say and run into my bedroom.
I am almost in tears, but I'm also angry at him.
----------------------------------------------
I'm still confused as to why Carl yelled at me, especially over something as stupid as phones.
I walk over to Carl's bedroom door and open it. He is asleep on his bed.
"Carl. Wake up." I say loudly.
He opens his eyes and yawns. "What do you need?" He asks.
"Why did you yell at me? Seriously, it's the worst thing that could happen at this point. What's wrong?" I say sternly.
He ruffles his hair and looks at me.
"Sorry. Nothing is wrong, I just... I don't know. Just please forgive me." Carl says.
He puts those gorgeous green eyes on me and smiles.
I try not to, but end up smiling too.
And that's it. I'm not mad at him anymore.
