Chapter 18-we stand strong, we carry on
~Saria Urie- First Person~
I grabbed the last bag of groceries for my house and drove my way home. I opened the door of my apartment to see my dog, Whisper run up to me. I gently scratch behind his ears and his tail starts to wag.
I start to wonder where Patrick was. Was he coming over? He was always either on time or early. This time, he was running late. Maybe I should go pick him up. I grab my keys and lock the door, giving Whisper some food on the way out.
I open the door and put the keys in the ignition. I back out of my driveway and go to Patrick's. He only lives 20 minutes away, which is a good thing.
As I walk up to the doorway, I see Patrick and Elisa through the window. I'm not sure what they were doing. Unfortunately, I don't have a key but I do know how to pick a lock, thanks to Carter. I grab the hair clip in my hair and play around with the lock for a few seconds before opening the door.
Oh how I wished I didn't open the door. What I saw made my heart break. The scene made me disgusted.
Elisa and Patrick were making out.
My bag drops to the floor and tears come to my eyes. I drop to floor and the tears let loose. Patrick and Elisa break apart, Patrick seeing me. I look up from my position, my blood boiling. How could he do this to me? Show his love for me and then go to his wife?
"Saria, I can explain---" he says, rushing over to comfort me. I push his comfort away and get up. "Save it, Patrick. I don't want to hear it." I exclaim, running out the door. I had to go.
*a few days later*
{Dan Howell-First Person}
As I was almost done editing a video, my phone rang. Carter's name showed up and I picked it up. I hadn't heard from her in a long time. I hear her voice start to shake and I'm instantly worried.
"Carter, are you okay?"
"N-no. I-I'm not, Dan. N-no one h-has been here f-for me except f-for JC. A-and he h-hasn't helped out m-much," I hear her stutter through the phone.
"What happened? You need to take deep breaths."
"I-I found out w-what happened to T-Toby. H-He slept with another girl. P-Pete kissed this g-girl that w-was my f-friend and she k-kissed him b-back. And Brendon? I-I haven't talked t-to him since the night of the p-party."
"Carter, I will always be here for you. Unfortunately, Phil and I are leaving in a couple of weeks back for London, so I don't know how long I'm going to be here."
"No you can't leave! You have to stay. Please?"
"I don't know. If you choose me at that choosing thing in a few weeks, I might but I'm not sure."
"I feel like I'm dying. Suicidal thoughts have been taking over and I've been cutting."
Just hearing her say that makes me break down. She didn't deserve to be upset. I had to make her stay. I had to be there for her. Like a best friend but in a more than friend way.
(Perrie Edwards-First Person)
Ever since I first talked to Carter about dance practice, she hasn't showed up. Jesy seemed more out of it, Jade looked more tired these days and Leigh-Anne was really upset the past couple of weeks.
"Girls, I know it's depressing that Carter hasn't showed up but we have to listen to our own song: we stand strong we carry on. Salute has made a huge impact on fans and us. We have to make girls feel stronger so we need to make more songs! I know we can do it!"
"Guys, Perrie's right! We need to stop moping about and do something! We can't give up!" I hear Jade say. That's the spirit of the Jade everyone knows and loves!
We all practice Salute for our rescheduled tour and other songs. I know we can do it. We just needed time and happiness.
A/N I realized I didn't mention much of Little Mix in these newer chapters but they're a huge inspiration and I don't know why I haven't put much in their POVs.
