We sat there talking for a minute before he disappeared and came back moments later. "Here" he said handing me a pair of converse "There my cousins but i'm sure she wont mind you using them". "Are you sure? Whose your cousin?" i replied. "Carly" he replied. Carly's his cousin. Ok this is a bit weird why didn't she tell me? "She talks about you allot you know" he said breaking the silence. I looked up from doing the laces on the converse he gave me. "Really? What about?" i asked. "She says how your so nice and considerate" aww how nice "But" but? "lately shes been talking about how she feels the two of you have been growing apart since Ivy always needs you for something theses days".
"I had a feeling she felt that way but, i don't even know myself. Ivy needs me for the talent show in a week, but she says shes doing this to help me, but i don't know if shes helping me or helping herself" i finished and continued doing the laces.
Around 2 in the morning the party was still going on but mum came to get the four of us. I had a massive headache and i twisted my ankle so i wanted to go home. When we got home, i went straight upstairs to get changed. I climbed into bed and the minute my head hit the pillow i was spark out.
I woke up the next morning and made my way downstairs to the kitchen. I made myself a hot chocolate and went to watch TV. As i put the TV on i looked out the window to see dads car gone, and mums as well. Great no distractions. About half an hour later i'd just finished my hot chocolate and mum came in. "Hey hun" she said as she sat next to me. "Hey" i replied. "I've just dropped Ivy, Daisy and Rose off at Jamie's. Carly's there is you want me to take you" she said. "Ok" i said as i made my way up to my room. I can tell Carly about whats going on and how everything should be back to normal next week.
I looked in the back of my wardrobe and saw a pair of light grey skinny jeans. Yes Ivy missed a pair. I put them on, along with a purple t-shirt, a long white knit cardigan and red converse. I grabbed an empty bag and put a few things inside it along with the converse i borrowed yesterday. I put my phone into my cardigan pocket and brushed my hair. I grabbed the bag and went downstairs "Ready" i said poking my head into the living room.
We got into the car and drove to Jamie's house. Once we arrived i got out the car and the smell of stale beer hit me. Mum drove off as i walked up to the door. I looked around the front yard which was covered in scattered with red plastic cups. Moments later Jamie and Mason's mum let me in. "Hi Beth" i heard a voice say. I looked up and saw Mason standing there. "Hey Mason" i replied. "Carly's up here c'mon" he said and turned to walk up the stairs. I followed him upstairs and after passing a few doors he knocked on one. "Come in" i heard Carly's faint voice. "Hey Carly" Mason said walking in hiding me behind his back. "Got a present for you" he said again. "What is it now" she sighed with a laugh. "This" he said stepping to the side.
"Hey Carly" i spoke up. "Hey Beth" she replied with joy in her voice. Mason left and i walked over to her bed and sat next to her. "Here" i said getting her converse out of my bag "I was here at the party last night and i twisted my ankle so Mason lent them to me". "Thanks" she replied putting them on the floor. "Look" i began " Don't shot the messenger but Mason told me about how you've been feeling lately". She opened her mouth to protest but i cut her off "after the talent show next week everything will be back to normal. That's why i've spent so much time with Ivy. She said if i'd help her with this shed let me teach her how to roller blade. Sorry i didn't tell you". "That's fine" she replied like a weight had been lifted off her shoulders. "Just think next week i'll be back on our table with the same clothes i used to have. If Ivy gives them back to me that is" i said with a laugh.
Later that day mum texted to say she was on her way to pick me up since Ivy wasn't coming home but Carly persuaded her aunt to let me stay the night as well, so mum brought a bag over for me. We continued talking for a while before we got changed and then started playing GTAV. Yes GTAV. You didn't see that coming did you.
