Astor

Carl!

January 27th

I walked on the side walk & looked around aimlessly as i walked to the store. My eyes passed a girl across the street, until something familiar about her flashed in my head. I backtracked my gaze back to the girl across the street again, who standing in front of a building.

I stopped in my tracks, gazing at her.

I could only see the back of her, but she seemed so oddly familiar. She had black hair with red stripes, straightened to perfection. She had baggy, black pants & a black blazer.

From the back, she looked hot.

She suddenly started walking, towards the door. As she put her hand on the glass door, pushing it open, a ruby ring flashed, &, suddenly, i knew where i recognised her from.

"What the fuck?" I muttered under my breath.

She went inside the building, & i crossed the street, following.

I entered the building, right behind her.

I watched as she looked around, as if she was lost.

I completely froze, just in front of the door as i noticed her eyes. Those freckled eyes, i love so much.

"Vivian!" She turned around & looked at a man, who looked to be in his early twenties, with blonde eyes & blue hair, then grinned & walked over as him as he waved her over.

What the fuck?

She went over & leaned her side against the counter.

They talked for a solid minute before i broke out of my trance & stepped forward, "Freckles?"

She froze, then turned around after a second. Once she saw me, her face paled & her eyes widened.

My eyes also widened.

Tattoo's littered her body, piercings scattered on her face.

But, oh, her eyes. The ones i've missed so much.

I took a step forward, but that caused her to grab her stuff & bolt to the back.

My words got caught in the throat, as i felt like i had lost her again, even though i didn't have her again.

"Guess who i ran into today" i spoke to Fiona as we stood in the kitchen. She was making dinner & putting it on the table as i leaned against the counter, watching her.

"Hm" she thought as she put down a bowl on the table & went back into the kitchen, "i dunno. Frank?"

"No?" I rolled my eyes, "actually, i didn't really run into them. More like saw"

Fi kissed her teeth, "mk. But i'm outta guesses" she shrugged as she put down another bowl, "kids, dinner!" she shouted.

"That ruins the whole point of guessing who i saw today" i groaned.

"Who did we see today?" Deb asked as she came downstairs.

I rolled my eyes & snapped, blurting out a "Freckles"

Fiona froze & Deb dropped the cup she had grabbed from the cupboard, causing it to smash against the tiled floor.

They both turned to me, simultaneously yelling a "what?!"

"Woah, what's going on?" Lip asked as he also came down.

"Carl!" Fi continued, "that's not something you just blurt out!"

Ignoring her, i smiled at him sarcastically as Ian came down behind him, "glad you could all be here for dinner!"

"Ooookkk. This is weird" Ian spoke as he sat down on one of the chairs.

"What's going on?" Lip asked as he sat down.

"Carl saw Les today" Deb spoke as she finally broke out of her trance, sitting down in a chair, using her own nickname for Jules.

"What?!" Lip exclaimed, shocked.
"Who?" Ian furrowed his brows. They spoke at the same time.

"JJ!" Lip elaborated, using his own nickname for her.

"...who?"

By now, we were all sat down at the table.

I rolled my eyes, "Jules, dumbass"

Ian's mouth fell open, "Juli?" he used his & Fi's nickname for her.

Everyone was shocked & i was bombarded with questions about the daughter & sister we had lost 11 years ago.

"She just... walked away"

There was a small silence, "...what?"

I sighed, "yeah"

"Well, we have to see her!" Debbie exclaimed.

She missed Jules so much. So much.

But just not as much as me.

"Why's does the energy in this room feel so... weird?" V asked as her & Kev entered the house.
