As much as I loved my best friend, he was an idiot. I didn't approve of him and Stephanie at all. It was weird and frankly it didn't sit right with me. She was with him all of the time now, he barely even had time for us anymore. And it was the holidays, the days Carter is around the most, because, of how much sweets there is. He had the worst sweet tooth and he was close with the twins, even they said he hasn't been around much.

Hell his sister is still in town and she still rarely sees him.

"I think maybe we have attachment issues." Oliver nodded his head as he spoke, causing all of us to laugh.

"Broment issues." Nelson joked and I shook my head.

"Definitely." Arron inputted while I laughed at how ridiculous they were being.

I focused back on the road, "Just call him again and if he picks up tell him we're on our way." I stated, glancing in the rear view mirror to see the twins doing just that.

"Watch him not pick up." Elijah spoke next to me in the passenger seat.

"..Again!" Jake reminded all of us and I frowned, Carter hasn't picked up once in the last seven times we called.

"He's not a real bro." Nelson fake cried, breaking into laughter when I yelled at him.

"Fuck off, just give him a minute." I rolled my eyes, really trying to have faith in my best friend right now, "In the meantime, can somebody call the boys and tell them what's going on?" I questioned.

"I'll do it." Jake spoke up first, followed closely behind was Elijah though, "You have to be quicker than that." I smiled at Elijah who looked in the backseat with a scowl towards Jake.

I looked in the rear view mirror to make sure Jake was calling Grayson and he was. I wanted to make sure Grayson was following us and knew what we were doing. Tommy and Mark were also with Grayson, he had to take his own car because the van wasn't big enough for all of us. After about five minutes I was parking the car in front of Carter's house as he didn't answer for the eighth time. I hopped out of the car and jogged up to his door to knock within seconds it opened.

"Ready?" I greeted, he rolled his eyes and brushed passed me.

"Yes. Let's go." I laughed and patted his back.

"Don't worry you can see her later." I rolled my eyes as I looked ahead when the black door to the van opened revealing the guy's smiling faces.

"Look who it is, Stephanie!" Nelson grinned.

"Stephanie!" Oliver shouted in surprise and I laughed at the obvious new nickname for him.

"Hey Stephanie!" Mark egged the joke on as Grayson's car pulled up to the side of the van and he shouted from the window.
