The Truth in Cliche (Falling in Reverse and Escape the Fate FanFic) Sequel to Not Good Enough

3. Coffee and Craigifer

Carter's POV:

We stood around in our usual poses, getting pictures snapped of us at all angles. I smiled and picked Tayleyy up. The camera man had a field day.

Nothing too special happened. We picked up our purses and prepared to leave.

"Carter?" I heard a familiar voice call. I spun on may heels to come face to chest with my very own Craigifer .

"Craig!?" I screamed excitedly, enveloping him in a bone crushing hug. You see, when Max got kicked out Craig went back to Arizona, and I haven't seen him since. That was about five or six months ago. After the girls saw him they had the same reaction. Craig smiled and hugged us all.

"What are you doing here?" We asked at the same time.

"Taking pictures." We both answered, chuckling after.

"I see that never went away." He smiled, he has a cute smile.

"I miss those days." I replied honestly. I truly missed the glory days. Sharing a house with the boys was and always will be the best time of my life.

"I miss them too." He had a sad smile on, my heart broke a little.

"How long are you in town?" I asked

"A month or two. We're tracking for our new album." He answered. I nodded excitedly.

"We should hang out sometime." I said a little too quickly. Jacen shot me a wary stare but didn't say anything.

"Of course. You still have my number, right?" He asked

"Yerp. Well enjoy your shoot. Bye Craigifer." I smiled and hugged him. He squeezed a bit too tight, and I held on a bit too long.

But I missed him. So that's okay, right?

The girls said their goodbyes and we left.

We drove home in silence. Of course the radio was blaring, but none of us talked.

As much as I wanted to play dumb I knew I couldn't. I was way too friendly with Craig. And they noticed.

And now I felt guilty.

And unsure. Man was I unsure. I glanced at my ring and spun it around a bit.

I was always so unsure.

Craig's POV:

I hugged her a little tighter than usual, and she didn't object. I let her go and hugged Tayleyy, Zizzy, and Jacen as well. Jacen gave me a strange look and said

"Don't you dare." Before I could reply, her and the others walked out. I was beyond confused.

There was nothing between Carter and I.

And I still have Gab.

One woman is more than enough for me to handle. I shook my head and walked over to a nearby couch. I sat and waited for Monte, Robert, and TJ. The more I sat and waited, the more I thought. And the more I thought, the more I felt sadness and anger take over. When I hugged Carter I could feel her ribs, and her hip bones all but stabbed me.

She stopped eating again.

I sighed and ripped my phone out of my pocket and shot her a text.

'Carter?' Was all I put

'Yeah?' She replied I sighed trying to figure out how to put this.

'Idk how to say this. You lost a lot of weight, I'm worried.' I sent it and sat back.
