*Caroline's POV*

The four of us had hung out all day and Nash and Cameron were going to bring us a bucket of chicken. Now was my chance to get the right answers.

"Carmen, what helps make you feel better after you have a nightmare?" I ask.

"Well, when I have a nightmare about you, it helps to see that you are okay afterwards" she said, playing with her fingers. She was nervous. I can tell, but why? It's just me.

"Why didn't you tell me that?" I ask, a bit too firmly.

"I-I don't know. I didn't- you didn't ask before now-" she fumbled for words.

"Do you know how much pain this situation has caused me?" I ask, raising my voice.

"You?" she asked, sounding hurt.

"Yeah. And you don't even seem to care!" I say, getting angry for no reason.

"Caroline, I-" she started.

"Don't" I say, cutting her off.

"But-" her eyes well up with tears.

"Don't" I say, even firmer. Carmen replies by wiping her tears, grabbing her keys, and walking out of her own house. I watch as she pulls out of her driveway. I soon do the same. I go to my house, realizing what I did. Was I... jealous?

*Carmen's POV*

I don't know where I'm going. I just drive. I need to clear my head. I end up in a field (that belongs to my uncle. No, I wasn't trespassing). I park my car, get out and sit on the hood. It is like, 6 pm so I laid down on the hood and looked up at the stars. I took deep breaths. I am finally calm. Then I hear a voice, coming towards me. Nash.

"You okay?" he asked, pulling me into his arms.

"Kinda... no" I said, quickly accepting his hug.

"Why are you here?" he asked.

"I used to play here as a kid, but now it is a great thinking spot" I answered "I came to clear my head".

"Oh. Why?"

"Me and Caroline got into a fight" I say.

"About...?"

"She was saying stuff like 'do you know how much this stuff has hurt me?' and I just can't fathom her saying that she was in pain".

"Oh. I'm sorry" Nash says, squeezing me tighter.

"It's not your fault" I say. Man, I really love this boy.
