Chapter 12

Carlee's POV

I sat down in front of my bed, thinking about what had happened. I had walked in my room after walking back home from the park in silence, still wrapped up in Jerome's jacket. He understood that I had moved on, and I couldn't believe it. I just couldnt' escape this complicated life of lies I'm living. I still hadn't apologized to Cassie, but I really didn't think I would anytime soon.

1 hour later

I left my room, hoping to see no one. I walked down the stairs and into the kitchen. I saw someone out of the corner of my stand up from the living room couch as I grabbed cereal from the cabinet above me. It wasn't Cassie, Jerome, or Mitch. A guy with blonde hair and he was super tall. I spun around to see this guy staring at me with vivid blue eyes. He was actually a little cute.

"Umm...who are you?" I asked as politely as could, considering I was talking to a stranger that appeared in my house.

"Well, I'm Lachlan and you aren't Mitch." He said, a smirk playing at his lips.

"Correct, I am not Mitch." I said, still looking at him. At least he wasn't a total stranger to everyone.

"Well, hi not Mitch. How are you on this lovely evening." he replying, causing us both to chuckle a bit.

"What 'cha doing Lachy?" Another boy said as he walked in and stood next to Lachlan.

"Just talking to not Mitch." he said gesturing towards me.

"Well, not Mitch, I'm Preston." he said cheerily.

"I'll have you both know that my name is Carlee and I don't know why you're in my house at the moment." I said, going back to my cereal as I did so.

"Carlee?" Mitch asked as he walked into the kitchen, his eyes set on me. It didn't take him long to spot Lachalan and Preston to his right.

"LACHLY AND LAVA P MAH BOYS!" He screamed as he laughed wildly, luring to Jerome into the living next to Mitch.

While they were greeting, I managed to slip upstairs, unnoticed. Before I shut my bedroom door, I heard Lachlan ask, "Hey, where did not Mitch go?"

Sorry, short chapter! Mostly just a filler chapter and I'll have a much better one next to make up for this garbage!

I decided to probably just end this in about 6 chapters tops, but for real you guys, 400 is crazy for me thank you all for so much support.

Also, I've been reading a lot lately and I wanted to recommend so really nice fan fictions I find. I'll do one person and/or work each chapter.

To start, I chose @TheAriel because of her amazing works. She is also super nice and has constant updates. One of my favorites of her was called "Stop and Stare", which is a JeromeASF fanfic. Its completed and quite worthwhile, meaning I was reading this everywhere I went.
