Carl's POV

I don't understand what's going on. We broke up? Why? Does she really like Lucas that much? Why did she get my dad into trouble? I looked at my feet when Beth came into the room. 

"Hey." She says quietly.

"Hey."

"You okay?" I shook my head. "Carl, just forget about that girl? You have me don't you?"

"What?" I said going into a standing position.

"Why are you still going after a girl, like her? I'm here aren't I?" I stared at Beth blankly. "You... don't.... need..... her."

"Stop! Why would you say that?" I said with a strict voice. "You know she loves you like an older sister, and your saying to forget about her? She has always cared about you."

"Really? Why did she try shooting me?" She fought back.

"She didn't, she missed on purpose!"

"Really and I'm assuming that she got your dad into trouble on purpose too."

"That wasn't her fault!" I yelled back at her.

"Yes it was Carl. Don't you see? She's a maniac just like her father."

"Shut up. No she's not."

"Why are you so in denial?"

"I'm not, you are!"

"Really? I'm the one who's in denial?"

"Yes."

"Carl are you even listening to yourself? Pey is gone, because of you she hate you. She hates all of us."

I stood there in shock. Was she telling me the truth? Pey hates me? I don't understand... Why? I heard Beth continue on what she was saying.

"Let's just leave this place with everyone, and we all can get away from Pey. She's going to kill us if we stay..... Before you know it she'll have this whole town killed."

"Stop." I whispered quietly.

"Please listen to me Carl. We'll leave her here."

"Stop."

"Pey can't hurt us if we leave." 

"STOP!" I yelled at her, and then she smacked me.

"Carl come to your senses. Pey is gone, she's not coming back."

"Your lying!"

"GIVE IT UP CARL! Pey is gone! She doesn't love you anymore!"

"B-but I just don't want to leave yet."

Beth sighed, "Why? Why don't you want to?"

"Because.... I have been separated from her so many times. Now that I found her, I can't leave."

"What?"

"Pey is the only one I have left other than my dad."

"Don't you have me here?"

"It's not the same." I said to her. I walked passed her and went to the living room.

Should I leave? No..... I'll ask Pey first. 

I waited in the room for Jessie and Matt to come back. 3 hours passed when they came back. "So? What's going on?" I asked them. They just looked at each other.

Jessie's POV

We got to the house Peyton was in and we knocked on the door, and she opened it. She looked at us plainly with no emotion. "What do you want?"
