Maybe he can change

Chapter 4

Carrie's POV

"Allie?? I mean Allie! My best friend! How are you love?"

"Hey Carrie, I was wondering if I could stop by your house"

"Hum... I-I kin-da have some study to do" Why am I stuttering? "I am sorry, and I need to think about something"

"Oh, sure. Maybe next time"

"Bye"

I hung up. Oh God, how am I gonna do this? I can't just keep avoiding her... Well, maybe I should just tell her that's he kissed me and that's it. Maybe it is a good idea for her to come today. So, I am going to call her again.

"Carrie?"

"Hi, change of plans. You can come today."

"Ok then, see you in 20"

So here I was, waiting for my best friend to arrive so I could tell her that her boyfriend kissed me. Maybe I'm overthinking this. Only time will tell.

20 minutes later the bell rang.

"Allie... Come in"

"I brought a new nail polish we should try"

"Sure, let's go upstairs"

"Give me your hand" She started painting my nails with a sweet shade of peach.

"Well Allie, there's something I want to talk to you about... How are things with Jace?"

"They are great, actually he mentioned going on vacations to his grandmother's house!"

"Well, it's not easy to say this so... here it goes: when we got to my front door, Jace started to say some things about him not being really in love with you and sort of being in love with someone else..."

"What? No, that's not true, he likes me" she tried to convince herself "Unless he was only using me to get to you... Oh God..."

"I am being really honest with you Allie, and it's not over. After that, he kissed me."

She dropped the polish on my bed and stared at me with a shocked face. Then tears started to drop down her face. She was crushed, as I thought she would be.

"My blanket!" I screamed as I tried to clean the mess the polish had made. "I'm sorry Allie, I didn't mean to kiss him, he was the one who kissed me!" I added. After a few long and silent moments she answered.

"I need time to process this" she whispered.

"Ok, I'll be downstairs... Take your time. Call me out when you are ready to talk and PLEASE don't be mad at me"

She nodded and I went to the kitchen. I drank some water and then sat on the couch. What am I doing? And did I feel something when I kissed Jace? And why am I keeping it from Allie? I have never kept anything from Allie! But I told the truth, I told the facts. It is what happened! And it's not that I like Jace just because I felt butterflies in my belly when he kissed me. Let's just keep it that way and pray for Allie not to be mad at me.

I heard footsteps coming and I looked to see Allie looking at me quietly. Once she saw me, she quickly wiped away a tear.

"Hi... Have you thought about everything? Are you mad at me?" I started.

"Well, I believe you. And it wasn't your fault, he was the one who kissed you. I know you would never betray me, as I would never betray you. Our friendship is unbreakable. I just don't know what to do about Jace. Was he ever going to tell me? Was he using me or was he just tipsy enough to say something like that to you and kiss you? Does he like me? And if so and if this was all a mistake, should I forgive him? These questions all dance around in my head, and I don't know the answer to any of them"

"Then get them"

"What?"

"Get the answers to your questions. Call him and tell him to meet us here, without telling him that you know what happened and we'll speak about it"

"I'm not sure..."

"It will be fine, Allie"

"I am calling him now." she typed the number and put it on speakers "Hi baby, so I am here at Carrie's and we are just hanging out, geting our nails done and choosing some clothes, and we kinda need a male opinion. Can you come?"

"Oh... With Carrie? I don't think she will agree with that..." he tried to excuse himself.

"Oh no, I'm totally cool with it, we do need a male opinion on a few things. Don't worry, there's nothing to worry about" I interrupted.

"Yeah baby, please come. I miss you!" Allie added.

"Alright, I'll go. See you in 10." he finally accepted.

We went back to my room and 10 minutes later, the bell rang and I opened the door.

"Hi Jace. Allie's upstairs." I climbed the stairs and he followed me. 

"Oh, you have arrived. Please sit, we wanted to talk to you about something." Allie suggested,

Jace sat on a chair and we sat on the bed.

"So, Jace. As you know, Allie is my best friend. And I don't think it was very smart of you to go on and try to make me keep a secret from her. So, obviously, I told her that you kissed me, and all those things you said to me" I started.

"What the fuck?! Oh Carrie, you couldn't keep your fucking mouth shut huh?!" he screamed

"Excuse me?? You were the one who tried to play mr. romantic and kissed me at my front door!" I snaped.

"Allie, I am sorry" he said, lowering his voice and getting up and walking close to her "I didn't mean to get this far with you, the truth is I like you but I am not ready to be in a relashionship now. I had a few drinks and my inner self tried to make a move on Carrie, but that's all it was. I didn't mean to hurt yo-" Before he could finish the sentence, I saw Allie's hand move from her lap as fast as she possibly could and collide with Jace's face, making a loud noise. Ouch, that must've hurt. A lot.

"You didn't mean to hurt me, you piece of fucking shit?! You gave me so much hope! That we would be together, forever and shit! I tought you liked me, we had plans together! And after everything, you say you can't be in a relashionship and worst of all: you made a move on my best friend! At this point, I don't even know how many girls you have been seeing while you were seeing me, and I'm not even sure if only girls! You are a fucking man whore and I hate you right now! I am never going to forgive you and life is too short and precious to be wasting my time with jerks like you! Whatever we had, if fucking over! Now get the fuck out!!"

He didn't fight back as I thought he would and he just left. I heard my front door close loudly and looked at Allie who left a couple of tears drop down her face. I honestly have to say that I was completely amazed by her speech and her braveness. I had never seen Allie this pissed off and I had never seen her swaring like that. I was stunned. 

"Are you ok?" I asked, worried.

"No. But it will all go away... eventually"

"Don't worry, it will" I assured her.
