i knew jamie would be at the door since she always forgets the key to the door. i sighed as i picked up the ruined popsicle not wanting to throw it away just yet. the thing about me is that i'll eat a popsicle even though it's 10° outside, which is pretty odd.
jamie pounded on the door once again getting me even more annoyed. "would you hold on asshole!!!" i said to her as i opened the backyard door and set the popsicle down on my dogs bowl as he scurried to it, eager to see what i put in it. "fatass." i mumbled to my dog as i lightly chuckled and went back inside to get the door.
jamie continued to pound on the door as i grew even more annoyed. i walked faster to the door and practically shoved it open in annoyance.
"WHAT IS YOUR PR-" i stopped and choked on my unfinished words. out of everyone... it had to be him. my eyes ripped wide open and my eyebrows raised up.
"carl?" i asked very confused.
i had no idea whatsoever how and why he was at my doorstep. his cornrows were gone, his hair was long but nice. his face was red with tears streaming down. but what was odd was that he was also holding a big wrapped present in one hand, but his eyes were the thing i noticed the most that made me forget about the present. i've never seen him cry, or even look this sad. i felt so bad for him, not even knowing what happened. it just hurt seeing him like this even though he's practically dead to me.
he quickly wiped his face and mumbled. "nick.. he.." he tried to spit out choking on his words. "come inside carl it's freezing." i said quietly, pulling him in and closing the door behind him. he stayed in place for a moment then turned to speak to me.
"i'm sorry.." he said quietly. he really did mean it, his voice and his eyes told me he was telling the truth. i sighed for a moment as i looked at him. "it's okay carl.. come on." i said pulling him upstairs. i opened the door to my room and he slightly looked around at the changes i made to my room and set down the present on my drawer. "merry almost christmas..." he slightly said with a small forced smile, standing in front of me then all of a sudden grasping for a hug. that's when it hit me. it's christmas eve. this is how lost i was, i didn't even know it was almost christmas. i've been staying off of social media for however long it's been. i quickly checked my phone and it read "december 24th ; 11:27 pm".
it's been ages since me and him hugged. it's been ages since i've hugged anyone as a matter of fact. and i had to admit i felt good about it.
"carl what happened.." i asked confused at every thing that's happening at the moment. he didn't look up at me, instead, he kept his face on my shoulder. "you're the only person i have left y/n.. domenique's been cheating on me... nick killed a little boy... just because of a bike y/n. the cops came and took him.. i wish i didn't have to see that. a dead boy. gosh y/n why am i so stupid?!" he said crying once again burying his face in my shoulder as i was trying to comfort him. i was heartbroken at the fact nick was gone, or the fact he killed a poor little boy. i was holding back tears by now.
