|Carter Jackson-First Person|

I tie my dirty blonde curly hair up into a ponytail as I look down at what I have on. A dark purple tank top with black shorts and black combat boots along with black earrings. I put on my dark makeup, bringing out the hazel in my eyes.

Oh my god, where are my manners? Allow me to introduce myself.

My name is Carter Jackson. I'm twenty-nine. And yes, I'm part goth, which ranges from my dark clothing and makeup to many piercings on my left ear.

I have been since I was in high school. Made sure I didn't get the wrong attention.

I don't any tattoos, lip studs or anything of that kind.

Fall Out Boy, Panic! At The Disco, My Chemical Romance, and Little Mix are the kinds of bands that I blast late at night, and the kind of music that drives my sister.

I've never had a boyfriend, even though I should've had one by now. It's quite sad, but it's whatever.

On the other hand, there's my little sister, Scarlet Jackson.

Scarlet, where do I begin to describe her? Even though she's only twenty-six, she's pretty much had a boyfriend since birth.

How is that possible? With her dark straight hair and stunning blue eyes, as well as her boy-grabbing personality.

She could go to beauty school and they would say she's a professional. She wears clothing that a popular stereotypical slut, so like what Regina George would wear and owns a little chihuahua like one of the Wilson sisters in White Chicks.

If you haven't seen her on any Vogue magazine, you wouldn't know what she wears because she can dress better than both Kalel Cullen and Bethany Mota combined.

Satisfied with my look, I go down stairs to see Scarlet with her boyfriend, Randy. Having a huge make out session, she didn't even notice me. This is what I have to deal with, basically every single day.

I awkwardly cough, breaking them apart immediately. Man, the things I can do, to make it seem like I'm not the third wheel. It happened all the time but it was a bad feeling, if you've never been in a relationship.

"Ready to go shopping?" Scarlet asks, annoyed that I did that. I innocently smile. I grab my bag and follow her out to her expensive bright pink BMW convertible, something out of the many other things she owned that also disgusted me.

****

"Go do whatever shit you do, I'm too embarrassed to be even with you. Just get out of my sight," Scarlet exclaims before going to the closest Forever 21.

Of course after that, she's probably going to go to Starbucks with her "clones" because they go everywhere with her and like everything she likes. *cough* Plastic *cough* *cough*.

I walk towards Hot Topic to find a new All Time Low shirt. Finding my size, I grab it and get to the dressing room. But there's a line for it. I should've gotten here earlier.

***

After I made my purchases at every store I needed to go to, I head to Starbucks to meet up with Scarlet. Yeah, I know I wouldn't head there, but today, I just felt like going there. Scarlet wasn't here so I could just escape. Yes I know where she is because we shop like 17 times a month, or something like that. I grab my phone to text her:

C: Where r u? I'm @ Stardollars

S: I'll meet u there in 15 min. And y do u call Starbucks, Stardollars?

The reason I call Starbucks, Stardollars is because one of my best friends, Amanda and I had an inside joke that if Starbucks should be renamed Stardollars because it's more "formal." I just plug in my headphones. I put my phone on shuffle, and somehow, the first song that comes on is Introduction by Panic! At The Disco. Its up very loud but not loud enough that I couldn't hear my order. I take my headphones off to go get my drink.

But what I didn't realize is that they called another order as soon as I got my drink and food. And since their was no cap on, it spilled onto my tank top. Fuck, now something else to put in the wash.

"Oh my gosh. I'm so sorry!!! Here let me pay for that drink again or at least help you get it off," the woman says with a strong British accent.

I look up to see a girl with somewhat pale skin, ombré hair, her blue eyes looking up to meet my own.

A/N Chapter One is up! I'm sorry I left it at a cliff hanger but if you didn't guess already, Carter just ran into..... I'm not telling!!! You need to find out next chapter!!!

So, for this book, I'm changing the ages around a bit. Dan will be 30, instead of 25; Brendon will be 32, instead of 29; Toby will be 34, instead of 31; and Pete will be 35, instead of 37.

Dedicated to the awesome writer @Lionluver12 for the original story, Torn Between The Two which was amazing!!! Shoutout to @rac06h10ael for encouraging me to do this idea!

Song for the chapter is on the side!
