You and I walk a fragile line

Carly sat quietly on the edge of her bed with her knees huddled up under her chin. She had tear stains on her cheeks and her hair was disheveled. The sound of the silence was overbearing. Each breath she took was shaky and laborious. Her tired eyes flicked nervously across the room, searching for nothing.

"Knock, knock," a soft, familiar voice said from behind her. Carly didn't bother turning to see who it was. She just sat there, taking another shallow breath.

"Carly," he whispered, walking over to her and placing his hands on her shoulders. She jumped.

"Sorry…" Carly replied hoarsely, turning to face him. The first thing she always noticed about him was his chocolate brown eyes.

"Carls, you can't keep going like this," Freddie continued, gazing lovingly into her eyes, "It isn't good for you. What about Spencer? What about Sam? The webshow…?"

"None of that matters now," she snapped, "None of it."

Heavy footsteps suddenly echoed outside in the hall, and Spencer appeared in the doorway.

"Hey Carls," Spencer asked, concerned, "Who are you talking to?"

Carly looked around the room…but he was gone.


Hope you enjoyed. Yeah, this fic will have short chapters. It's because I broke up the song. R&R :)
