Meant To Be

Chapter 14

{DAN}

"Why the fuck are you in a bra." Alex is fuming. Shit. Is all my stupid brain is thinking, shit shit shit. That and how hot Carrie is looking in her underwear. Jesus Dan, concentrate on the situation at hand. Oh so I talk to myself now. Yes. Shut up.

"Alex." Carrie finally says something, "I told you not to come back." She shivers.

"This is my flat too Carrie, you can't kick me out," Alex rolls his eyes casually.

"Like hell she can, asshole." I speak before I think.

"Excuse me?" Alex glares at me then back at Carrie.

"God Carrie, I'm gone, what like 4 hours and you're already fucking other people? What, done it once and can't get enough? What a slut."

"Don't say that Alex," Carrie has her head down and is mumbling, "I didn't fuck Dan."

"THEN WHY THE HELL ARE YOU WEARING NOTHING BUT UNDERWEAR." Out of nowhere I see Alex explode like hulk and he starts twitching as if needing to exert violence. And I don't move.

"You know what Carrie?" Alex hisses through his teeth, "I don't care, about you, about this friendship, about us. You go do whatever and whoever you want, got it?"

"Alex don't say that, please." Carries tears are already hitting the floor. I should do something. But I don't move.

"Don't say what? That I don't care? But I don't care Carrie. I just don't. I'm bored of you, sick of you, DONE with you."

"Alex you can't be serio-"

"I can't be serious, look at me Carrie, am I joking? Do I not sound serious to you? Look at me. Stop being a pussy and LOOK AT ME BITCH!"

I watch like a dumbass as Carries swollen red nose and eyes meet with Alex's crystal blue and boiling ones. Her breaths are short, and she's shaking.

"You k-know what you're doing. You know ex-exactly what you're d-doing." Her skin pales dramatically, the shaking worsens and Alex continues.

"Its okay Carrie, lover boy here will take you to the hospital after your panic attack. Dumb bitch can't handle herself. But you know what, he will leave you too. Actually, he already has, for Lexi-"

Carries falls, she falls to her knees, and I still don't move.

"-Because my dear, the sooner you realize that nobody loves you, nobody is there for you, that you are going to die alone. The better off you'll be right? What's that saying? 'Oblivion is bliss'? Well sorry to break it to you, but I guess the comfort of oblivion is gone-"

"s-stop Alex please."

"NO. Carrie. I will NOT stop. Why? Because I have been in love with you for 16 years and you never NEVER acknowledged it. Once I we start dating, you're obsessing over this douche and sleeping around like a whore. Because that's who you are Carrie: alone and a whore. Need it clearer? A WHO-."

And Alex is floored. Unconscious. I guess I'm good for something, I groan as I rub my fist. Thank God for those dumb karate classes, taught me to punch well. I shove him into a corner with my foot. Asshole, I think. Fucking asshole.

The flat was silent, too silent. I turn around and stare at the motionless Carrie and run, limbs bonelessly flying everywhere as I call an ambulance and try to pick her up at the same time. "Hi. Yes I need an ambulance. Yes. Quickly!" With Carrie in my arms now, I decide to call Lexi also. "Hello?"

"Yes?" Utters a deep voice.

"Uh, wrong number." I quickly hang up. Dammit William.

I hear the sirens and race down the stairs, I stand out on the curb as the truck pulls over.
