Hey! Hope you like the story so far!
"Plug it up! Plug it up!" Carrie was clenching her towel to her body as close as possible, trying to show zero cleavage, as these girls continue to throw tampons at her, as she got her first period.
"Nooooo!" She screamed, but her voice was blind in the ears of the devils in front of her.
"FREAK!" Sue Snell screamed at her, whilst throwing another tampon at her. Carrie kept on crying, and hoping this torture would soon be over. But in her bully's eyes; this was only the beginning.
"NOOOOO!"
"NOOO!" Carrie screamed, as she jolted up from the bed, as she hyperventilated, and the lights started flickering on and off. Sue heard the scream, as she rushed up from her slumber, and saw Carrie having a panic attack, and quickly wrapped her arms around her, causing Carrie to tremble, and have Sue feel the vibrations of Carrie's body in her own. Sue calmed Carrie with words like "it's okay", or "shhh...it's over..." Carrie dug her head into Sue's shoulder, and soaked it with the memories of her past. Sue just gently rocked Carrie back and forth in her arms. Carrie can almost feel the love coming off of Sue, and was directed at her. It made her tremble even more, in hope that Sue was never going to leave.
Sue rubbed her hand up and down Carrie's spine, hoping it will calm Carrie down. It just made Carrie cry even more, knowing that she was trusting Sue a little more than she intended, and that frightened her.
Sue scooted back by the pillows of the bed, and lay both of the girls down. Sue moved about an inch from Carrie, to get comfortable, and after she did, in an instant, Carrie was pressed close to her, with her head on her shoulder, and her arms wrapped around her waist.
"Are you okay?..." Sue asked, very gently.
"...yeah..." Carrie whispered, and realized that Sue really did care about her.
"You'll be okay, I promise. It get's better." Sue reassured, gently rubbing Carrie's upper arm.
"...how do you know?" Carrie asked, turning her head to look at Sue in the eyes.
Sue doesn't know if she should tell Carrie about her secret she hasn't told anyone. Even Tommy...
"I know because...because when I was 14 I was bullied badly too." Sue choked, trying to hold back tears of her past.
"What?" asked Carrie, hoping that what Sue was telling was a lie. She knew what it felt like to be bullied, and she didn't think Sue knew what it meant to feel bullied.
Sue sighed, and closed her eyes forcing herself to speak. "When I was 14, people used to make fun of me because I was tall. They would call me 'Hercules", "God of Tallness" etc, etc. I never really cared until the point of depression. I constantly looked up different ways to get shorter, and they all said 'no such way', so every night, I came home and cried, until I fell asleep. I never told my parents because, I mean...what's the point? They can't do anything about it. So then, my dad got transferred, and by the age of 16 I was moved to our school. Were I met Chris and everyone. They really didn't care that I was tall, I was just intimidating sometimes. And then I met Tommy, and everything was alright...I told you: everything will be alright Carrie." Sue said, forcing herself to smile, even with tears in her eyes.
Carrie's eyes widened. She never thought Sue was bullied. She was so sweet, (even though she was bullied by her) and caring. Sue was generally a nice person. She didn't expect her to be bullied.
"I'm so sorry Sue..." Carrie stated with sorrow for the girl.
"I'M sorry Carrie. I did deserve it. I realize now. YOU don't deserve it, and never will." Sue gulped, trying to get rid of her tears.
Carrie looked at Sue, and then wrapped her arms around her, and held them there, for seems like eternity. Sue was now trembling, remembering her past, and that's how Carrie felt, knowing that Sue was a cause for it.
Sue rested her chin atop of Carrie's head.
This moment, was a huge deal for both girls. Soaking in each other's problems, and being the shoulder for them to cry on. They somehow knew each other, in a way, that both of them are trying to figure out themselves. They were the key to each other's happiness.
Soon, after bringing their eyes close to flaccid, they both fell asleep in each other's arms.
Sue woke up before Carrie. She had sometime to think. What was she going to tell her parents? That she's now living with the girl that killed the whole fucking school? Oh yeah, "Hey mom, hey dad, i'm now living with Carrie White, you know? The girl that has powers, that can kill a school full of kids? Yeah her. Anyway, later!" Ha, no.
Sue gently wiggled out of the bed, trying not to wake Carrie, and walked over to the window, and opened the blinds to expose the beauty of the city. The sun peeked through it, and shone on her face, bringing a smile to her face. She tilted her head to the left, and crossed her arms to her chest, and closed her eyes. She inhaled the oxygen, and decided she needed to relax. She glanced over at the clock that read 7:40 am. Good, she had time to think of a plan.
Sue's stomach growled.
And get something for them to eat. Sue was pregnant, and she needed to eat, and so did Carrie. She called room service and ordered eggs, bacon, toast, and orange juice. That seemed good enough.
About 5 minutes a knock came from the door, which startled Carrie, drawing the vase of flowers to slide of the desk, and fall.
"It's okay, I just ordered us breakfast." Sue said calmly, bringing her hands up to gesture Carrie to stop.
Carrie sighed, and nodded tentatively. She didn't know who was on the other side of that door, and was ready to protect Sue and herself, if anything happened.
Sue nodded her head, and walked over to the door, and a cart rolled in with, 2 trays with a silver platter on top, and a boy in a suit pushing it. Carrie eyed the boy suspiciously, as Sue thanked the boy, and he left. Sue got Carrie's tray, and handed her it, as she lay there in bed.
"If you're still hungry, you can have some of mine." Sue offered, grabbing her tray, and joined Carrie in bed. Carrie looked confused, and concerned. Why wasn't Sue hungry? After all, she had 2 girls to feed. She was pregnant.
"Why aren't you hungry?" Carrie asked softly, tilting her head.
"I don't know. Just don't have an appetite." Sue answered, as she opened the tray, and played with her eggs. She was hungry just a few moments ago, and now...nothing. It was weird. What the hell? Suddenly, Sue felt a dull throbbing pain in her stomach. She hunched over, and grabbed her stomach, groaning in pain.
Carrie crawled over to her, and held a hand on her back, and calmed her gently. "We should go to a doctor..." Carrie suggested, hoping that nothing was wrong with baby Carrie.
Sue shook her head aggressively, drawing Carrie back a bit. "Can't risk you getting seen... I don't know if you are cleared or not." Sue groaned. Carrie's eyes widened. Why was she risking her baby's health for Carrie?
"I just need to lay down. That's all." Sue groaned, as she got under the covers. Carrie sat beside her, and just rubbed her back gently, hoping it will take the pain away. Sue's eyes got droopy, as she fell asleep.
Carrie kept on rubbing Sue's back before she heard a ringing coming from Sue's coat pocket. She looked over at Sue, making sure it didn't wake her, and quietly walked over to the coat, and opened the pocket, to reveal Sue's phone ringing as it read:
Mom
Carrie's eyes widened. What should she do? What if her parents think Sue is dead? That Carrie killed her? This made Carrie become very anxious. The lamp on the bedside table started flickering. She needed to calm down. She walked over to the couch and turned on the T.V.
"Supernatural occurrences happened at Ewen Consolidated High School. After a local 'Carrie White' has used her unknown 'powers' to kill everyone the night of her senior prom. Suspects say that there was blood poured on Carrie, and she killed everyone. Here we have Rita Desjarden, who witnessed the whole thing, as is the only one Carrie left untouched. Here she is:
Mrs. Desjarden appears on the screen, with a sprained arm, and with tears in her eyes. "Carrie White wasn't bad, by any means. She was a victim of a serious bullying case, and was pushed too far. She didn't kill anyone who didn't 'kill' her first. She never intended on hurting anyone, but the moment the blood came pouring down from the bucket at the prom, she couldn't be pushed any farther. She isn't a murderer, she wasn't a monster, she had an overly religious mother who MADE her like this! Blame the mother! Not Carrie! Carrie White is good, and wherever she is now, I hope she is happy."
"BREAKING NEWS! Carrie White has been cleared from any charges, as it wasn't her fault, but it was the bullied Chris Hargensen, and boyfriend Billy Nolan. This will be the last update. Thank you."
Carrie was shocked. How could they let her off this easy? She DID kill everyone! Why would they just clear her? Carrie shook her head, and needed to tell Sue. She walked over to the bed, and gently shook her awake.
"Sue?" She whispered.
"Mmm?" She answered, not opening her eyes.
"I've been cleared. The news came on. I'm not going to jail. They said it wasn't my fault, and it was Chris's. So, i'm free to go." She smiled, and hoped that now she will have a chance at that 'normal' life.
In an instant, Sue's eyes shot open, and jumped up, wrapping her arms tightly around Carrie causing her to gasp. Carrie let out a light laugh, but quickly was brought back to her regular 'no emotion' face.
"Really? That's great!" Sue squealed. Carrie was smiling, but that smile soon faded. Sue looked confused. "What's wrong Carrie?" Carrie looked up at Sue with a worried look. "What happens now? Where will I stay? You have to go home to your family. I don't have one..." Carrie looked down dismayed.
Sue grabbed Carrie's shoulders. "Look at me." Sue said, sternly, but not in a mean way. Carrie looked up scared. "You will stay with me. I'm not going back to my family. I promised you, I was going to help you. My parents won't be involved in that. Got it?" She stated confidently.
Carrie gently blinked her eyes and nodded, as Sue nodded back. Sue; without words, walked over, and dialed her mother's number on her cellphone. Carrie looked confused.
It went to voice mail.
"Mom, i'm leaving. I know this sounds too direct, and we need to say a 'proper' goodbye, but...I don't think we need to. Listen, I promised someone something that I have to keep. It's nothing bad, like at all, and I need to help her overcome this obstacle in her life. This is the last time you'll hear my voice. Don't come looking for me please, i'm almost 18. But, I need to tell you this:..." Sue started sniffling, as she was tearing up, and about to break lose like a river. "...You-you were the perfect mother..." She sniffled "you have me everything I ever wanted..." She coughed, and sniffled "and I love you... ... ... please don't ever forget me..." And then she hung up.
Sue's emotions were to heavy to sustain them, as she dropped to the floor, and let out an un humanly wail of despair. Carrie; in a flash dropped to her knees, and took Sue in her arms. Sue just had said she won't be seeing her mother ever again because of her. It made Carrie feel such remorse, that it couldn't be contained. Carrie's pajama gown, was getting soaked from the tears of Sue's eyes. She didn't let Sue go. She was afraid, that the only thing that was holding Sue together, was Carrie's arms. It was evident.
Sue was still crying, as Carrie was trying to pick up the pieces of the broken girl, and put them back together.
