Twisted - A Paisleywood Story

This is Just A Dream

I woke up to Ace licking my face. My head is throbbing, I believe that it has something to do with how many drinks I had last night.

"What's up little buddy? You hungry?" I talked to him as if he's gonna reply.

I walked towards the bathroom to brush my teeth with Ace trailing behind me.

"little Acey won't leave her mommy, will he?"

How do I start my day? the usual, and I should get used to it by now, i've been doing this for a month already. Next I need to prepare breakfast for me and my baby. Well, he's got his dog food so i'll probably just be preparing for myself. Since i'm too lazy to cook real food i'm just gonna stick with cereal and a glass of milk.

Staring blankly into space after eating breakfast is not what I usually do, but just thinking about Kim being pregnant, I mean I can just stare in space forever.

Oh gosh, why am i stressing so much about it? It is even my idea that they have a new little one.  I should be happy! I should not be suffering from all this pain.

Gosh, Carrie take your mind off of Brad or his family! PLEASE! 〒_〒

I don't wanna end up huddled in a corner crying over and over again over a stupid reason which I cannot get over with. What the heck is wrong with me even?!

Anyway my phone buzzed off. Maybe that is Brad calling me! I should totally pick this up. But to my disappointment, it's mama. Not that I don't wanna talk to my Mom.. it's just, I WANNA TALK TO BRAD. okay, it's mom, I should pick this up. I miss talking to her, hearing her comforting voice.

Carrie: Mama! How are you?

Carole: Hey baby girl, I'm doing just fine.. how about you?

Carrie: glad to hear that! Well i'm good too.

Carole: and how is the thing going around between you and Brad?

Carrie: well, uhmm, I uh broke up with him a month ago..

Carole: oh, why didn't you tell me earlier, like the day you actually broke up with him?

Carrie: I didn't think it's that important, plus it's nothing special or anything.

Carole: nothing special?! come on Carrie, you're talking to Mama and not some other people out there.

Carrie: okay, okay. I just, i'm not comfortable talking about it to anyone or anywhere. It's hard to talk about it. I'd just end up crying. It hurts so much, Mama, it hurts so bad.

Carole: oh, baby.. You know you can always tell Mama anything. If you want you can come home for a while and rest?

Carrie: yes mama, I would love to! Before I go back to work, i'm gonna come home.

Carole: okay, i'll look forward to that. I gotta go now, and run some errands.

Carrie: Bye! love you.

Carole: I love you too.

And with that, I hung up. Nothing really feels better than talking to your mom. Out of the blue, the doorbell rang.

"Who could it be, who could it be.." I chant looking at Ace.

I opened the door. Standing there is the brunette haired, blue eyed wife of Brad wearing the dress that I gave her.

"Oh hey Kim, come in." I say motioning her to sit on the couch as I grab us something to drink in the kitchen.

"Hey, Carrie, I just wanna drop by and tell you how grateful I am to you. Brad and I are doing well and i'm three weeks pregnant!"she says excitedly.

"Congrats!" I say as I put the Iced tea on the coffee table and gives her a hug acting like it doesn't hurt me AT ALL.

We chatted for like an hour, me pretending to be enjoying although inside my head, i'm killing her. How can she even have the guts to tell me she's pregnant and how happy they are?! Isn't she thinking? Doesn't she know i'm in love with his husband!? duh, way to be more  dumb, Kim.

anyway after she left, my heart sank and broke into a million pieces. And because it's broken into a million pieces it just shatters in the wind.

"Carrie." I heard a familiar voice. I turned around and there he is standing on the front door.

I ain't hallucinating, am i?

"Carrie, I am so sorry I left you hanging last night, I was just carried away, I don't  know what i was thinking. I shouldn't have left you. I should've stayed when you asked me to, and i'm so sorry. I really am."

while saying that, I just want to grab him and kiss him but i'm .. i'm not sure of how I feel. I don't know. Looking into those beautiful brown eyes, I just melt every single time. I don't know if I should hate him or I don't know! i'm confused to death.

"Carrie.." He says walking towards me. I still can't mutter a single word. What do I say?

"Brad I, you know you shouldn't be here. You can't always just barge into my house and tell me things like that.. it's making it even harder to move on."

"But Carrie--"

"No more buts Paisley. You need to leave."

what is wrong with me?! Last night I was pleading him to not leave me and now i'm pushing him away?! what the heck, Carrie?!

Just before he turns the door knob, I said "WAIT!" He then turns around and I ran towards him wrapping my arms around his neck and kissed him. Just even this one last time.

This is the moment the I always want to last. I don't want it to end.

He pulls away leaving me out of breath.

"Carrie, let's just get back together, please. I can't stand another day without you. I'm getting crazy."

As I was about to say yes, I hear a nerve racking sound so I turned around to see what it is but I found nothing, I turned back to Brad and hr wasn't there anymore. I'm in my bed with Ace beside me. That was just a dream. I woke up hoping for a déjà vu but not including the Kim part, please.

My phone starts ringing, I glanced at it and to my surprise, It's Brad calling me. Maybe this would be even better than my dream. As I was about to press call, the door bell rang. oh gosh, could that be Kim? I sprinted towards the front door leaving my phone still ringing on the side table.

I looked at the peep hole and it got me so excited so I bust the door open and hugged that particular person to death!

"MAMA!"
