Carly's POV

I had a lot of fun on Halloween accept for when I got hurt. Now that I look back at that, it is kinda funny. I started laughing to myself and then I realized that 3 people were staring at me. "Can a girl not laugh to herself and look crazy in peace?" Carla spoke up, "well, its just, you kind of laughed weird." I replied "Really? How? How in the hell did I laugh weird?? Please explain it to me, I'd love to hear." She looked like she was getting mad. "What's your attitude for?","I don't know, maybe its because I don't fucking feel good and then you 3 decided that it was ok to look at me funny because I laughed. So what if I laughed to myself, is it a fucking crime to laugh at something you're thinking of or a memory that makes you laugh?? Obviously it fucking is because I can't laugh to myself because of a funny memory I was thinking about. I'm just gonna leave you 3. I don't want anymore stares, I'm leaving, goodbye." And with that I stormed out of the living room. Well I tried anyway, "CARLY! THERES SOMETHING YOURE NOT TELLING ME AND I WANT TO KNOW NOW!" Carla dragged me back to the living room. "TELL ME! NOW!","NO I DONT FUCKING HAVE TO!". "I KNOW YOU DONT HAVE TO BUT YOU ARE! SO TALK!", "NO! JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!" I stormed off into the kitchen.

Jason's POV

I just sat there while Carla sat down and pretty much exploded. "I'm gonna go talk to her." Anthony nodded and so I went to the kitchen to find her sitting with her face in her hands. "Carly? Please don't yell at me. I just came here to talk to you if you want to talk, I'm not here to argue or anything...I just came here to sit with you, is that ok?" She nodded. I sat down and put a hand on her back and started rubbing. "I just miss my parents, I haven't seen them in so long. I miss my parents and the guy I like at school doesnt like me back. I mean I knew him liking me was never going to happen but still..and then just..I just, I miss so many people and I can't have any one of them." She had tears in her eyes. She blinked and before the tears rolled down her cheeks she wipped them away. "When was the last time you talked to them?" I asked her still rubbing her back. "My dad maybe like 5 maybe 6 months ago and my mom like a month ago." She looked sad. I hugged her and she hugged me back but then she pushed me away and walked outside. I followed her outside. "Sometimes I come out here at night after Anny goes to sleep and just sit and watch the sky and its stars, sadly its the afternoon but I still come out here sometimes and just stare at the beauty in front of me." She smiled a small smile. "Sometimes I leave the house at night and just walk around because my thoughts start to keep me up and I just think while I walk. I usually go to this park and just sit on the swings though. It helps me a lot because I don't like talking about what's on my mind and it's not because I don't trust people, its because sometimes I don't think I'll stop talking if I start." I looked down at her and smiled slightly. I grabbed her hand and stood there holding it. She turned to me. "Why did you tell me that?" She asked. "Because I just thought that you needed assuring that you weren't the only one that sneaks off in the middle of the night just to do something random." I turned to her. She smiled at me. "Thank you.","For what?". "Everything I guess.","well then, you're welcome." I kissed the side of her head and hugged her really tight. "How do you know that the guy at school you like doesn't like you?" I asked her. We stopped talking and then looked down. "Because he said it to me and he doesn't know I like him..he also has said it to other people so.. I'll be fine. I'll survive." She looked up at me. "I'll get over him eventually..I mean yeah I have to go to the same school as him and he's older than me by like a couple of months but its fine. He'll never like me.. I'll get over him maybe. I'll do my best." She looked so hurt saying that he'd never like her. "Do you want to go back inside?" I asked Carly. "Yeah, let's go." I opened the door and she walked in first. Anthony walked into the kitchen. "Jason your sister is throwing a bitch fit so if you want to stay the night over here you can. Also..she left saying something about going somewhere far away." I sighed. "Oh my god. Are you serious?" I can't believe Carla right now. "Yeah why?","Because when she says that she means that she's gonna keep driving until she with gets lost or is almost out of gas and then expects me to help her. I'm not helping her this time, I'm helping someone else right now, you can deal with my sister. I'm helping your sister. You can help my twin since you guys are like a couple or something like that." He looked at me. "I don't date or do couples." Carly started talking. "Anthony..shut the fuck up, you are one of the softest guys I know. You are all for relationships so shut up." I started laughing. Anthony punched me in my arm. "Ow my feelings! Hahahahahaha" I grabbed my arm while laughing. That got Carly to laugh. "I'm going to take Carly somewhere we'll be back in a couple of hours.","Alright, just bring her home safe please." Carly looked at him. "Anthony don't worry, I know I'll be safe. Plus, I trust him. You should to Anthony, I mean..he is your best AND only friend." Anthony looked at her. "He is NOT my only friend Carly. You know that.","Well he's the only friend I see you talking to, so in that case, HES YOUR ONLY FRIEND!" I pulled her out of the front door while chuckling. "Come on butthead haha."
