☆《 chapter 11 》☆

( k so it's 6:26 am rn and you should realize by now that I either don't sleep or wake up very early👍 )

~Johnny's POV~ 1:12 PM

Hayden told me what happened with Madison dissing Carson, and I just found out the reason why.

Lauren had invited Madison, Kenzie, and Annie over for a sleepover and I was supposed to be telling them that they could have the TV since I just got off of it.

While I was about to knock, I heard Madison saying something about Carson so I kinda eavesdropped and heard everything.

They all started laughing and giggling for no reason, so I decided to tell them now that I heard everything important.

I knocked on the door and said, "TV IS FREE!"

"Yay, come on guys," I heard Lauren say. Then, one by one, they all trailed out of her room and into the living room.

I heard them watching some show and laughing, so I went into my room and got out my phone to text Carson.

Johnny🤘 1:15 PM

~Madison's POV~ 1:21 PM

We were all laughing and playing around, until someone called me.

"Hold on," I told them, giggling and dodging a pillow.

I looked at the caller ID, and it was Carson. I signaled them to be quiet and they came over to me.

I answered the phone and said, "Hello?"

"Hey, can we talk?" He asked.

I looked over to the girls and gave them a look saying can I? They nodded and I answered him.

"Uhh, sure,"

"Okay, meet me outside of my house," He said.

"Uhh okay.. I'll be there in 10." I told him.

"Okay bye," He said.

"Bye.." I hung up.

"Ooh I wonder what he wants, since he just saw you like an hour ago," Annie laughed.

"Okay, go!" Kenzie said.

"I'm going, I'm going!" I said.

"Byee come back after whatever happens!" Lauren told me as I walked out the door.

"I will!" I shouted back, closing the door and driving to Carson's house.

TIME SKIP TO CARSON'S HOUSE

I stepped out the car and saw him waiting by the door. I walked up to him and said, "Hey,"

"Hey.." He said. He looked kind of nervous.

"Soo, you needed me?" I asked.

"Yeah.. I need to tell you something," He said.

"Okay," I nodded, wanting him to go ahead and say it.

"I know why you didn't wanna kiss me last night," He blurted out.

I just looked at him, trying to find the right words. "How?" I managed to say.

"Uhh.. Johnny told me. He overheard you guys today." He said.

"Oh.." I said.

"I'm sorry you feel that way," He awkwardly said.

"Thanks.." I said. I can't believe Johnny eavesdropped on us.

"Uh..also, what do you mean by saying 'someone like you'?" He asked.

I don't recall saying that while talking to all of them.. then I remembered earlier I was talking to Annie and left my phone on. He must've seen it.

"Did you see the text I sent to Annie?" I questioned him.

He got a bit red. "Uhh.. yeah.." He admitted. I sighed and looked around, then he added, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to.." He trailed off when I looked back at him.

"It's fine.. also when I said 'someone like me' I meant someone like me would never be good enough for you," I informed him. He looked like he felt really bad, which made me feel guilty for it.

"I'm sorry if I made it seem that way," He apologized.

I took a deep breath. "It's fine, but I should get-" I started, but was interrupted.

Carson was slowly leaning in and...
