I stormed off. How could Sal even say that?! I understand he's mad but why would he bring up the worst thing I've ever been through. The worst part was.. I never did tell Q I loved him. Why would I? I've only actually spoken to him on five occasions!

I immediately went over to my best friend, Jen's place. I knocked on the door and she opened it near enough straight away.
"Oh hey" she said to me. She sounded as if she didn't want to see me.
"Can I stay with you for tonight?" I asked her, crying.
"Why?" She asked. "You and Sal having issues?" She asked. I continued to cry even more. She hugged me then led me in. I sat on the sofa and saw Murr coming around the corner.
"Oh hi Carly. Where's Sal?" Murr said. Jen glared at him and he got the hint, so he decided to go.

Around 10pm!
I led on Jen's sofa, blanket covering me, just thinking about Sal.
"Carly do you wanna eat something?" Jen offered. I shook my head, causing tears to drift from my eye. "You should eat something" she said, shoving a slice of pizza nearer to me. I moved it away from me.
"Look, you and Sal will sort this out" she told me.
"No.. we won't. I'm done with him" i said. I stared directly at the wall.
"But you look... traumatised in some way" she said to me.
"He said.. I was horrid" I said to him.
"He didn't mean it. He was probably just mad" she told me. At that moment Murr walked through the front door.
"Hello again" Murr said to me.
"She won't eat anything. She hasn't moved. And she's been staring at the same spot on the wall for ages! I'm really worried. I have no clue what Sal has said or done~" Jen began to say to Murr.
"Why are you presuming it's Sal's fault?! From what I've heard it's your friend fault" Murr said.
"Look, let's not argue. They are both to blame!" Jen said. Murr nodded.
"Maybe we should go to bed and she may feel better in the morning!" Murr suggested.

The Next Day!

I woke up on Jen's sofa. My head was banging, my eyes were aching from crying and my heart was breaking. I checked my phone and saw zero texts from Sal. I just led back down, staring up at the ceiling as I felt my world shatter to a million pieces.

Sal's POV
I woke up, led in bed. I turned over to my right and placed my hand over where Carly used to sleep. Her scent was still on the pillow I led next to her pillow, with my tears pouring all over it. I haven't spoken to anyone since, and I just kept replaying what I said to her. I felt awful. I knew I had taken it way to far.

Somebody was pounding at the door. At first I ignored it, but it became louder and louder. I presumed it was Joe with the girls, so I ran down to the door. It wasn't. It was Q. I immediately slammed the door.
"C'mon Sal! I have something important to tell you!" Q said. I really wanted to know what it was. So I opened the door back up again.
"Hurry up! I have to pick the girls up soon!" I said as he followed me in the living room
"I know you probably hate me right now.." Q began.
"There's no probably about it!" I muttered. He rolled his eyes then got back to talking.
"Well I wasn't 100% truthful before" Q said to me.
"Are you telling me you and Carly are secretly married now?!" I said.
"Well.. Carly.." I began.
"Spit it out!" I rushed him.
"Carly never did say she loved me.." Q revealed.
"What?" I asked.
"Well.. when I kissed her.. she ran off over to you" Q told me.
"Wait wait wait! Your telling me you made it up!" I shouted.
"Yes" Q replied. I put my head in my hands, full of regret.
"I was so vile to her. I called her a liar and horrid. I even said about her parents leaving her. She was telling the truth the whole time!" I said.
"Well.." Q stuttered. "She will understand" he told me, placing his hand on my shoulder.
"I have to apologise!" I said.
"Well.. according to Murr she's pretty hurt. It might be too soon!" Q told me. I completely ignored him and went to the one place she would be... Jen's!

Carly's POV
Murr and Jen were in the kitchen, whilst I led with my back turned, on the sofa. I just kept trying to think where Sal would've gotten the idea of me saying I love you to W instead of him. To me, it made no sense.
Around 11am, there was a knock at the door. I didn't move a muscle so eventually Jen answered it.
"What do you want?" I heard her ask in an angry tone.
"Is Carly there?" I heard a familiar voice say. It was Sal.
"Yes" Jen answered. "Doubt she wants to see you!" Jen shouted. Murr crept up behind Jen.
"Maybe we should leave them and let them talk" Murr said calmly.
"Fine!" Jen shouted. After Murr and Jen left Sal came in. He stood, looking at me for a bit, however I had my back turned away from him.
"Carly?" I heard him ask. I slowly sat up and faced him.
"What are you doing here?" I asked.
"I've come to apologise. Q to,d me that you never said that, and you were telling the truth" Sal said. I sat there silently. "I miss you" he said.
"I missed you too... but we can't take back what we've done" I said to him.
"I'm sorry for calling you all those things, and bringing up your parents. It was vile of me. I'm disappointed in myself. I should never of treated you this way" Sal said. At first I sat there in silence. But then I stared directly up in his eyes.
"Imagine the worst things you feel or think about yourself, then the one person in the whole world that you love, thinks them too" I said to him. He began to cry. I hated to SE Sal cry, because I loved to comfort him when ever he was upset.. so this was killing me inside.
"I'm so sorry" he said. "I do love you. I love you more than anything!" He said to me.
"But not enough" I said.
"Not true!" He said. He was crying uncontrollably at this point. I knew Sal was quite sensitive so I tried to be reasonable. And I knew he did feel awful about what he said.
"Well I'm not exactly innocent" I said to make him feel better. He didn't even take notice in what I was saying as he was crying hysterically.
"Sal.." I said in a sympathetic tone. I couldn't bare to see him even more upset. I got up and sat next to him. I wrapped my arms around him, and rested my chin on his shoulders and gently rubbed his back. He accepted my hug. He then wrapped his arms tightly around me. He rested his head by my cheek as I felt his lips brush against my skin.
"It's okay" I said a calming voice in his ear.
"It's not! I've messed everything up between us!" He said, causing more tears to fall from his eyes.
"Of course you haven't!" I reassured him.
"Do you forgive me?" Sal asked...
