You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness...
Like resignation to the end, always the end.
So when we found that we could not make sense...
Well, you said that we would still be friends...
But I'll admit that I was glad it was over.

-

Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over...
But had me believing it was always something that I'd done.

And I don't wanna live that way...
Reading into every word you say!
 You said that you could let it go...
And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know!

Third Person Perspective~

AS Rory stepped inside the Chateau, sighing, she picked up the call. "Hey, big bro..." She smiled sheepishly, knowing that she was about to get scolded by Carter. "How are ya?" She giggled.

"Really? Don't 'hey' me, kiddo--" Carter's voice replied from the other side of the line. Rory could practically see him rolling his eyes. "Where have you been?"

"We...uh--we're back in OBX," Rory replied, running a hand through her hair. "We're all good and safe, so don't worry about that," she added to console him. 

"Why did you guys go in the first place when I told you to wait for Jack?" Carter sighed. "And why the heck did you not call if you were back home?"

"There was no time to waste, Carter...otherwise we would have waited and you know that," Rory answered. "And, uh...my phone's battery died and later on, we were all distracted, kinda..."

"Yeah, I know." Carter agreed, sighing. "Anyways, did it benefit? Going to Charleston?" He asked.

"Uh--kind of...?" Rory made a sceptical face, shrugging. "Pope and I met Miss Limbrey who does, in fact, have the evidence that can help prove JB innocent...but well, we both almost got kidnapped by her crazy minion dog because she wants some weird key from Pope in return for the tape," Rory explained. 

"What the--Are you two okay? And where were JJ and Kie?" 

"Instructions were explicit. Only Pope and I were allowed to go and meet Miss Limbrey," Rory answered. "And do not worry, we are all okay... we all escaped on a tourist bike," 

"Thank god," Carter said, sounding relieved as he let out a laugh at the last part. 

"There's....something else, too.." Rory started, trying to suppress the smile as she spoke into the phone.
