Carrie was cradling her mother in her arms like a new born infant, as the roof falls above them like a thousand devils. Carrie White has just came back from her senior prom, after unleashing her telekinetic powers on everyone, after being pushed too far. Her mother; Margret White, has stabbed her in the left shoulder blade, after telling Carrie she was the child of Satan. Carrie turned the knives around to her mother, and forced them back at her. Margret White was dead.
Sue Snell; the girl that tried to help Carrie, by asking her boyfriend Tommy Ross to take her to prom, had tried to help Carrie in ways that no one would understand. She felt bad for Carrie, after the touristic event in the change room at their High School, by throwing tampons at Carrie White, by telling her to "plug it up", she tried to tell Chris to "back off!" But of course, Chris didn't listen.
Chris Hargensen. The girl that loved pushing the boundaries too far, and ended up pouring pigs blood on Carrie's head, at prom, along with her boyfriend Billy Nolan, and tried to run Carrie over with her car, attempting to kill her, just made Carrie even more mad, and used her powers to send her to an early grave.
Carrie caressed her mother's head, as the ceiling fell down. Sue tried to help Carrie by getting her out of the house, but Carrie just stated that Sue was pregnant, and sent her outside. Sue however; came rushing back in, and is trying again.
She wrapped her arms around Carrie, and tried to protect her from the force of the rooftop.
"What are you doing?!" Carrie screamed "get out! Or i'll make you!" She choked. She knew she wasn't going to use her powers any more, but she wanted to die with her mother.
Tears were flowing from both girls eyes as Sue said "...no you won't..." She smiled, and pulled Carrie back into a hug. Carrie shrieked, and shook Sue off of her.
"You need to leave..." She demanded, with some remorse.
"Please Carrie, let me help you! You aren't a bad person! You don't deserve death! Come with me, and i'll save you! Please, just let me help you!" Sue cried, grabbing Carrie once more. Carrie decided to let Sue hold her, and feel the warmth of her sweater on her skin.
"My Momma tried to k-kill me..." She cried, as she looked back at her Mother who was nearly smashed in.
"It's okay, please let's go Carrie...please..." Sue pleaded, tugging gently on Carries pajama gown.
Carrie finally gave in, and gently nodded her head, gave her Mother one last look, and let Sue wrap her arms around her, and led her out of her house. The two girls stood outside of the falling house, trembling, and started to hear sirens in the distance, and knew Sue had to think of something quick.
"We can go to a hotel..." Sue suggested, not letting go of her grip around Carrie. Carrie looked down, refusing to say anything.
Sue started to tear up, and whispered "i'm sorry..." into Carrie's ear. Carrie squeezed her eyes shut, as a tear fell from her eye. She knew Sue was hurting as much as she was.
Carrie sat on the bed of the hotel room, as Sue paced back and forth, trying to think about Carrie not going to jail. Sue found a quick hotel about 5 minutes away from Carrie's house. The girls checked in, and are now staying in the hotel for a few days.
What am I going to do? I promised Carrie I will take care of her, but I can't have the police searching for both of us! Shit, Sue think!
Sue stopped pacing, as she noticed Carrie had her knees tucked up under her, with her arms wrapped around her tightly, crying. Sue rushed over to her side, and gently rubbed her back.
"I killed so many people!" Carrie cried into her knees.
"No, no, no, Carrie! They deserved to be killed! They hurt you! You didn't hurt them! I should be dead along with them! You should be alive, and happy! And that's what i'm going to do. You will be happy again Carrie...I promise..." Sue said, soothing the girl as much as possible.
Carrie looked up from her knees and stuttered "promise?" Sue nodded her head, and hugged her tightly. She then, walked over beside the bed, pulled the duvet off the mattress, and patted it, directing Carrie to get under the covers.
"You need sleep..." She coaxed. Carrie obeyed, and crawled under the covers, and gently lay her head on the pillows. Sue gently rubbed her hair, encouraging the girl to fall asleep, as she sat beside Carrie, with one leg on the bed, and one leg off.
Sue decided not to worry right now, because the last thing Carrie needed was to be scared.
"...Sue..." Carrie whispered, opening her eyes the slightest bit.
"...yeah?..."
"I'm sorry about Tommy..." She whispered, a tear forming, thinking about how the bucket fell on top of his head, and leaving him there to burn.
Sue stopped rubbing Carrie's head, and had a faraway look in her eye. Tears were forming, but she knew she had to stop them. She inhaled deeply, sniffled, and exhaled.
"It's not your fault..." She smiled, and continued to rub Carrie's head. The tears were coming back, but she was afraid she won't be able to stop them this time.
"I shouldn't have let him burn..." She cried, pushing her upper body off the mattress, and was being held by her arm.
Sue pushed Carrie back into the mattress, and just soothed her. Carrie quickly fell asleep, and Sue started panicking again.
What if the cops find us?! I can't risk sending her to jail! She's been through so much already! Plus I have a kid on the way!
Sue started hyperventilating, as she brought herself down to the ground, and curled up into a ball, and cried softly. She was worried. Not about herself, but about Carrie not getting the life she deserves. She deserves a happy life. A life with a Mother who wouldn't make her think she was the Devil, a home that had actual technology, friends, and being able to trust someone that wouldn't leave her.
Carrie heard soft whimpering coming from below the bed, as she pushed the duvet off of her, she crawled over to the edge, and saw Sue in the fetal position, crying on the floor.
Carrie quickly jumped off the bed, and wrapped her arms around Sue. Sue, in an instant, wrapped her arms around Carrie. Carrie didn't need to know why Sue was crying, because she already did. Carrie started crying with Sue, wanting her to stop.
"Carrie... I-I'm so sorry...I truly am! I knew I shouldn't have pushed you that far! You didn't need it! Oh God, I know you'll never forgive me, but at least you know I will help you through this. You will have a life you love okay? I promise you this Carrie White. You will be happy." Sue cried into Carrie's shoulder. Carrie started bursting out in tears, as she never felt loved. Even by her own Momma. She never truly was loved.
After about a minute of crying, the two girls crawled in to the bed together, and just lied there, staring at each other.
"Sue? What will you name your girl?" Carrie asked, in a fascinated tone of voice.
Sue thought about it for a minute. What will she name her? When she was young, she picked out a bunch of girl names, as she fantasized of having a Happily Ever After, but she never really thought of a meaningful name. Until now.
"...Carrie...her name will be Carrie." She smiled, with a faraway look her her eyes, as she thought that was a great name.
Carrie just lied beside her, with her mouth agape. She never liked her name. It was stupid. But, she never felt more happy with that name in her life.
"R-really?" She asked surprised.
Sue nodded her head, as Carrie hugged her tentatively. She didn't want to get close to anyone anymore. If she did, she will lose them. She always does. What will happen if Sue decides to ditch her? Or throw her into the fire, and tell the cops? Carrie suddenly remembered a verse in the Bible:
"Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you." - Pslam 9:10
Carrie new God would want her to trust Sue, for she was the only one that is keeping her alive. But, Carrie can't keep anyone close to her anymore. She killed so many people, and she wasn't going to risk killing anyone else. Her own Momma, she trusted, and she tried to kill her. After that, Carrie will never trust someone again. Ever. It will take a long time for Carrie to be able to trust Sue. A very long time.
Carrie just sighed, and fell asleep.
