Carly's P.O.V

I woke up to my mum chatting to someone on the phone, but she would normally be at the bakery this time preparing today's products.

"I will ask Carly as well, as she spent a lot of time with him" She speaks. "Anyway, I hope he get's better soon!" 

I shot out of bed deciding to have an early start, as whatever mum was talking about is playing on my mind and it probably will keep doing it until she asks me. I started doing my make up, the usual; foundation, eyebrows, eyeliner and mascara. That's when my mum walked in. 

"Morning sweetie!" She chirps. "I have a morning off to sort some stuff out for Anne, at her old house anyway" 

"Morning, what stuff?" I ask with concern, as I thought there was nothing left in it. 

"Just making sure the previous owners have settled, the usual! Anyway, Carly. Did Harry have a love interest lately? You guys were close enough for him to have told you?" She suddenly questions, I was frozen. 

"I think... I don't know..." I stuttered, I can't say it's me, can I? "What's happened?" 

"He's not himself at all and Anne's worried, so I will tell her you don't know then?" She begins to walk out of the door, that's when I had an idea. 

"He did go on a date with one of the teaching assistants!" I catch her, she pops her head back around the door. "Jessica Hughes, might be her?"

Even her name makes me jealous. 

"Oh, I will call Anne then!" She dashes off to find her phone again, leaving me to finish my make up. 

I finally finished my hair and make up after stopping, starting and twisting the air plane necklace under my shirt, it's becoming a habit. I couldn't let myself go back into that mood I was in for weeks, but I can't let myself leave Harry like that.

I was ready early, so I pulled myself to Calum's house. I was about to knock when his mum opened the door dressed in a full black suit, I guess she was going to work. She was telling me once that she worked for some agency, I can't really remember. 

"Morning Carly, Calum's in the living room if you want to let yourself in!" She cheerfully explained, before getting into her car and starting the engine. I carefully walk in like it was foreign even though it wasn't, I have been best friend's with Calum since primary school, I feel cautious because Calum and I haven't been alone together since the park. 

"Morning Calum!" I exclaimed walking into the living room where he sat. He jumped up, and ran towards me engulfing me into his arms. "You okay?" 

"Yeah, I thought you would never be alone with me again?" He must of been feeling the same way. 

"I know, I'm sorry? I like us being like brother and sister though, love isn't my thing!" I told him, I guess love really isn't my forte. "Plus, I don't like Ashton before you question it!" 

"I was being stupid! You'll always be my little sister!" He messes with my hair, whilst kissing my cheek playfully. I liked this Calum much more. "School?" He offers me his arm, and I take it laughing. 

...

The week went pretty well after that. We were all planning our activities for next week, and it consisted of- camping out pretty much all week, a long walk and picnic, and the boys taking us on a 'date' at the end of the week where we're all getting dressed up and the boys are taking us on a surprise. However, we have to take them laser quest/bowling in the week. I know for sure everyone's going, except I'm not sure about Luke. I decided to call him anyway, as I don't know if anyone's tried since two weeks ago. 

"Luke?" I question when someone answers. 

"Yeah, Carly?" I hear giggling in the background. "Go away Molly" I quickly sigh, knowing it's his younger sister not Abbey. 

"You going Monday?" I ask. 

"I don't know, I have blown my chances of ever being friend's with you guys. I'm trying to escape the others!" He tell's me, I hear the truth through his voice. I know he's finding it hard separating from the group of 'Popular's', and joining... us again. "If you all help me plan a way to leave them after this half-term, then I will be 100% be with you!" 

"That's a deal!" A grin playing on my face, knowing Poppy will be happy he's trying to come back. "Monday, 10am, Michael's! You know what to bring!" I hear his chuckles as we both say bye. This week is going to be brilliant!

I thought I would pack today- Saturday, as we all had to meet up Monday morning at Michael's, to start the week by setting up the tents and unpacking. We're going to leave all luxury's and valuables in the house so it doesn't get stolen so apart from that, it's going to be us, pyjamas (at night), blankets, pillows and food. 

"Carly, I know you're going out all week, but please keep in contact everyday!" Dad tell's me whilst placing his cutlery down after dinner. 

"I will" I roll my eyes, I know they worry loads when I'm gone. 

"I also put an extra £10 with your pocket money you've saved! If you run out of anything tell me?" Mum says. I had saved a lot since summer, as I knew we were kind of doing this after our first one in May. 

"Thank you!" I stand up, helping them collect the plates after our meal. 

"Oh, Anne said thank you for the help!" Mum pats my shoulder, I just smile and walk upstairs to my room. Why does my mood always get brought down when I'm finally happy? 

I left my shower until tomorrow, so I'm fresh for Monday and ready. I had packed everything, but I was told to get some last things- Dorito's, salsa and a bottle of sparkling wine. I'm not 100% how I'm going to get that yet, maybe 'borrow' some from my parents or actually try and buy some from down the shop. This was were I needed Harry. 

I fell asleep early Saturday, wanting to get up early Sunday to plan what I needed to get from the store down the road. I asked Dad for £5, enough for the Doritos and salsa dip, but the wine was definitely out of the question. Just before I went, I checked the box of alcohol they have in the store cupboard and they had a few bottles of wine, vodka and beer. I could take one without them noticing because Mum and Dad rarely check it anyway. 

I asked Dad if we could go to the larger supermarket together, so I could maybe get some other treats as well, because it's going to be a long week. We drove down, and this was were the conversation started...

"Have you lost your virginity?" He randomly asked, making my cheeks flush a deep red. 

"No" I reply truthfully.

"Oh, right! I don't want you wasting it on some lad you know!" He began, I guess my whole face looked like an tomato by now. I really didn't need this talk from my father. 

"I know! Dad" I nearly shouted, he turned to me and began to laugh. "What?" 

"You're so red!" He was really laughing by now, and I mean wheezing and choking. 

"Shut up!" I smack the hand that's firmly pressed on the gear stick. 

...

I had showered, over packed by loads, got the wine safely hidden in between clothes, called the girls and Michael and now all I had to do with sleep... 

Bring on Monday!
