Cross Faded

After Carrie's parents divorce and her fallout with Julie, she decided she needed to be the best to be enough. She always blamed herself for her mom leaving, thinking she somehow wasn't good enough for her. And when it felt like her best friend suddenly wasn't on her team anymore, she felt like she had to be better than her to in order to prove something. To prove she was good enough or worthy enough.

Reggie will never know what happened to his parents. Whether or not they stayed together or got a divorce or where they are now. He feels guilty for ruining their relationship, even though it wasn't his fault. Every day was always a new fight and he was stuck in the middle. Being the friend that always cheered everyone else up, he never talked much about his own struggles, especially since he thought they weren't important enough.

Unresolved feelings never sit right when they just sit inside you, eating away at you. And both Carrie and Reggie have some unresolved emotions and relationships. Maybe the could help each other, if only they could meet. But they are worlds apart, and their bands are rivals. They could never be friends, even if they could meet.

This is based off a comment someone left on one of my stories. Don't know how long it'll last or how long it will be. Also this isn't like directly romantic bc I don't like writing romance and I'm not good at it, so it's kinda more platonic but you can ship them if you're into that. Let's hope I don't give up on this one after like 2 chapters because I'm kinda trying to leave the fandom slowly bc I need to watch Jatp like the first time again and I can't do that if I'm constantly doing Jatp things related. So yea this will probably be one of the last things I ever do for a while. I'm sorry. Hope it's a good one.
