*Carly's POV*
It was almost noon when we arrived back home. Words could not describe how boiling-hot angry I was with my dad. It even felt weird to call him my dad, or say I actually loved him. I'm shy at first, but I'll give you all of hell if you mess with my family. I stomped up the porch steps, my feet hurting from slamming my feet so hard. It didn't even phase me. As soon as I got in the door, I hustled upstairs to calm myself before I broke something.
My eyes wandered around the room. The blinds were closed, and the bright June sun couldn't shine in and annoy me, thankfully. I didn't want to move off my bed, now that I sat down. All I could think about was dad, why would he hurt mom? Would the team lecture the shit of him, or not even care? I didn't want to be dropped just like that, Ashley and I were good friends. Madelyn and Jason got along well too.
Finally thinking of something to get my mind away from it all, I pulled out my laptop and went onto YouTube. There I played my all-time favorite song, "The Fox." Nothing could stop me from dancing, and soon, the thoughts of dad were washed away, as if there was a tsunami in my head. After the song ended, I sat down on my bed to relax. Just a few minutes later, someone knocked on the door. I scooted off the bed and opened it, and there was Ashley!
"Hey Carly!" she said, and I let her in the room.
"Whaddap Ashley?" I replied, a smile on my face.
We sat down on my bed, and she looked around the room.
"I love this room! Hey, I heard what happened with Adam. I was downstairs comforting your mom. Don't worry, the whole team and I are pissed. We may kick him out of Team Crafted, not sure though," Ashley said, out of breath.
A smile shone on my face. The team hadn't dropped us like a hot potato, and it made me happy. Ashley patted me on the back before getting up to leave.
"Oh, one more thing. Your mom wants to see you. You've been up here since you got home, she said," Ashley told me, and I walked out of my room and downstairs behind her.
We walked in the living room, and there was Madelyn, mom, and Jason. Maddie and Jason were having a full-on conversation, laughing and making hand motions. Ashley and I sat by my mom, and we all started talking. It felt as if dad didn't even exist, everyone was happy and worry-free.
