*At Evie's Dorm*
Carlos: *Ribs are healed and is able to talk but still Breathes a little weak*
Evie: "Hey, Little brother" *Hugs Carlos*
Carlos: "Hey Evie!" *Groans when she hugs him*
Evie: *Pulls away from the hug quick to check Carlos* "Are you ok?"
Carlos: "Yeah, my Ribs are healed, they just still hurt every once in a while"
Evie: "Sorry!"
Carlos: "It's alright, I deserved it"
Evie: "No, you didn't!"
Carlos: *Grunts and holds his Ribs before sitting down*
Evie: *Sits down next to him*
Carlos: "I did deserve this. It was my fault, Jay was in the hospital"
Evie: *Gently grabs his hand and squeezes it* "No, you didn't deserve that, Sweetie. I guess I got overprotective of Jay that I didn't realize what I was doing but I didn't mean it. Carlos, you have to realize that Me and Mal care about you and Jay but I know for a minute when I hurted you, you might have felt like I didn't care about you but I do, it's just friends don't do that to friends. Carlos, I love you, You're my little brother, you've always been."
Carlos: *Looks at Evie with an 'Did you care?' "Evie, I understand what you mean but it didn't take what you did to me, the Doctors told me that if a rib hitted my heart, I could die and WHERE WERE YOU GUYS WHEN I WAS IN THE HOSPITIAL AFTER YOU GUYS LEFT AND THE DOCTORS TOLD ME THAT I MIGHT DIE?!??!!? SO YOU CARE ABOUT JAY MUCH MORE THAN ME?!?! YOU AND JAY ARE PERFECT TOGETHER BUT WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE A FAMILY AND FAMILY DOESN'T HURT ONE ANOTHER BUT THAT'S OK....SINCE JAY AND MAL MEAN MORE TO YOU AND I MEAN LESS TO YOU, DONT TALK TO ME!!
Evie: "CARLOS!! I DID IT BECAUSE I LOVE JAY AND I DON'T WANT ANYTHING TO HAPPEN TO HIM. YEAH, I LOVE JAY AS A BOYFRIEND AND I LOVE MAL AS A SISTER BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT I LOVE YOU ANY LESS. SURE, I SPEND MORE TIME WITH THOSE TWO OVER THE LAST FEW WEEKS BUT YOU’RE STILL MY LITTLE BRO!"
*Jay and Mal burst into the room*
Jay: "What's going on?"
Evie: "Carlos got upset - *Gets cut off by Carlos*
Carlos: "Nothing. I just have too much on my mind- *Gets cut off by Jay pushing him to the wall*
Jay: *Angry that Carlos made Evie angry* SAY SOMETHING!"
Mal: *Breaks it up*
Jay: "NO MAL.....SAY SOMETHING, CARLOS!!!!"
Carlos: "Me and Evie got into an argument because I told her that when you took that speed pill and she hurt me....that wasn't the right way to settle this"
Jay: "BUT YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE HAD THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE SO THIS WHOLE THING IS YOUR FAULT"
Carlos: *Tries to escape Jay's hold but fails*
Jay: "THIS IS FOR UPSETTING MY GIRLFRIEND!" *Punches Carlos in the Eye*
Carlos: *Gets a bloody black eye*
Mal: "Alright, that's enough" *Pushes Jay away from Carlos*
Carlos: *Feels blood dripping from his eye before looking at Evie and Jay with a 'You betrayed me' look on his face and runs into his room*
Mal: *Teleports into their room* "Carlos?"
Carlos: *Crying* Mal? What am I gonna do?
Mal: *Touches his bleeding black eye before grabbing his hand and leading him to the bathroom and wipes the blood from his eye before getting an ice pack*
Carlos: "Thanks Mal! *Kisses her cheek*
Mal: *Smiles sweetly* "We are a couple, right?"
Carlos: "Yes"
Mal: *Kisses his cheek then kisses his bruised eye to make it feel better*
Evie: "Jay- *Gets cut off by Carlos laughing, followed by Mal and then Jay* "Ok, what is going on here?"
Carlos: *Wipes the realistic makeup off* It was a prank*
Mal: "C'mon Evie, Jay and Carlos are basically brothers, they wouldn't hurt each other"
Jay: "C'mon babe, Carlos is my lil bro, there's no way I could ever hurt him"
Evie: "So everything's healed?"
Carlos: "Yes"
*They all vust out laughing before spending the rest of the day together*
