17th of February
The 17th of February. A lot of things have happened. First, Jason asked Ella to move into their house and of course, she said yes.
"Hey Ella." Jason said and let Ella into the house. "Hey Jase. So... Why did you call me?"
"Huh?"
"You said you wanted to ask me something."
"Oh yeah..."
Carly was listening closely from the comfort of the top of the stairs. Jason asked her if it was a good idea for Ella to move in. He asked a 14 year-old for advice.....
"See... I was wondering...." He started, "If... y'know, you wanna..... move in? But if you don't that's fine, I can see why. Living with like 6 people."
"6?"
"Yeah, Me, Shane, Nate, Caitlyn, Carly and the baby."
"Oh.... And yes."
"Yes?"
"Yes I wanna move in!" she exclaimed pulling him into a hug. He picked her up and spun her around.
Ella moved in a few days later. Next, It was Carly's birthday. She was turning 15 and wasn't expecting much......
"Ohmygod! Thanks for the presents guys!" she said referring to the iPod and CDs from Jason and Ella, the Laptop from Nate and Caitlyn, the guitar and all the other presents she got from Shane. "Glad you liked them."
"Like them? I love them!" Carly exclaimed pulling everyone into a group hug.
Caitlyn laughed, "You're welcome."
A few weeks later, Carly met Jez, who is now her new friend.
Carly walked into the corner shop and got a Slurpee.
"You know," A voice from behind her started, she turned around and saw a boy, who was a bit older than her "That has like tons of sugar in it."
"Yep." she said taking a sip. "That's why I like it."
He laughed and continued to stack the shelf's. Carly walked over by him and picked up a magazine. 'Fringe boy' came in and walked past the aisle that they were in, Carly's eyes followed him but her gaze was interrupted when a blonde haired guy said something. "Ooh, he's cute."
Carly rose her eyebrows and titled her head, she couldn't work out if he was just kidding or not.
"Oh, gay."
"Oh..."Carly laughed and nodded. "Yeah, but he wont talk to since he saw me buying a pregnancy test for my auntie, which he thought was mine."
Jez laughed, "Really? Smooth."
Carly joined in laughing and stuck out her hand. "Carly."
"Jez." he said shaking her hand. "Hey! Aren't you Shane Grey's daughter?"
"The one and only. Why you a fan of his?" she joked.
"No, but my mum is."
Jez worked at the corner store which Carly went to a lot, so she often hung out there with him.
"Carly, pass me that box."
"You gonna pay me?"
"No. But please? I'll get you a Slurpee."
"Deal." Carly said and grabbed the box. She handed it to him and went to get a Slurpee.
"So what you been up to lately?" Carly asked sipping at her drink.
Jez climbed down from the ladder. "Writing."
"Songs?"
"Yep."
Carly walked over to him. "Really? Cool! We should start a duet."
"Yeah, we should!" Jez said sweeping the floor.
"What instruments can you play?" Carly asked sitting on the counter.
"....Drums and Piano. That's it. But I can sing too. What about you?"
"Guitar, Keyboard, Piano and Vocals. Oh and I also write songs."
Jez put the broom away. "Awesome."
"Jez and Carly. The hottest new band." Carly said in a weird deep voice.
Jez laughed along with Carly, they really were best friends.
Carly started to be educated again, by Becky. Her teacher.
"If x is 5 what is 7x – 9x"
"A number...." Carly mumbled with her head on the table.
Becky sighed. "Come on Carly. At least try."
"No... Can't be bothered."
"I'll tell Shane...." Becky sang which made Carly's head shoot up. "Let's do Maths!"
In December, Nate and Caitlyn went to find out what sex the baby was.
"And here's your baby." The doctor said pointing to the screen.
Nate and Caitlyn cooed and continued to stare at the baby.
"Would you like to know the sex?" The looked at each other and nodded.
"Yeah."
"Congrats, it's a girl."
Nate and Caitlyn looked happy. Then again they would have been just as happy with a boy. "Aww... I can't wait." Caitlyn said grinning up at Nate.
"Me too." he replied and placed a kiss on her forehead.
Shane had met Valerie. She was now his Girlfriend but something was up.
"Hey guys, this is Valerie."
They all waved and said hi. "Why don't you guys mingle and I'll get us a drink."
"Okay babe." she kissed on the lips and he disappeared out of the room. Her smile quickly turned into a frown and she stood with her hand on her hip. "Hey I'm Caitlyn, this is Nate, Jas--"
"I know who you all are." she said bitterly and turned her back to them.
-x-
"Be right back, I have to take this call." Shane said leaving Carly alone with Val in the kitchen.
"So, how's--"
"Listen you." Val said pointing her finger in Carly's face. "You'll be out of this house so fast, that Shane wont even remember you ever existed."
Carly knew that Valerie didn't like her. "Okay then, whatever." Carly said pushing past Valerie then out of the kitchen. Shane was standing in the hall talking on the phone, Carly pushed past him and walked out of the front door. "Carly?"
She stormed into the shop and saw Jez there at the till. "Uh oh." He had just finished serving at costumer when Carly came over to him.
"She is an utter cow."
"You knew that from day one." Jez said holding out his hand for money because he knew she was gonna get a Slurpee.
"Yeah, but," she gave him the money and walked over to the machine. "Today she was all like 'You'll be out of this house and Shane wont even remember you.'" she said in a mocking voice.
"You drink way to many of them." Jez said.
"I know. I'm gonna cut down soon. Anyway..."
"Oh. Yeah. Have you told your dad?"
Carly scoffed. "Uh, No. He's in that lovey dovey stage."
Jez laughed. "I'm finished here. Wanna hang out?"
"Sure."
"Hey, how come the paparazzi never follow you around?"
"Because my life is boring." She stated.
Then lastly, it was Valentines day. Jason, Ella, Nate and Caitlyn went out together, while Shane and Valerie went somewhere else. Typical Valerie. So Carly invited Jez over and they could moan about how they have no love life.
"Well this is fun." Ella said.
Everyone else was quiet. "I hate Valerie." Caitlyn stated.
"Don't we all." Nate agreed.
"Poor Carly. Valerie hates her." Ella said.
They all mumbled in agreement. "Guys, come on let's just enjoy Valentines day." Jason said and again they all mumbled in agreement. "Although, I must admit that I wish Shane would wake up and see what we do."
It was now February and the wedding was approaching. Today, Caitlyn has to buy a new dress because she doesn't fit into the one she got ages ago. Shane and Val were snuggled up watching TV together. At least he's happy with her. Carly thought. Jason and Ella had gone out somewhere, no-one knew though.
"Carly! You ready?" Caitlyn called from the bottom of the stairs.
Carly came down in a red dress/top with black skinny jeans. "Yep. Let's go."
Caitlyn went to say goodbye to Nate while Carly was pulling on a pair of boots. There was a knock at the door so Carly went an answered it. A tall blonde boy stood there with a smile on his face. "Wanna hang? I'm bored!"
"Sorry, I would but I have to help Caitlyn find a dress. Since Ella's disappeared with Jason."
Caitlyn came up behind Carly. "Hey Jez."
"Hi. Okay, have fun you two." Jez said and walked away. "Wait, Jez you wanna come as well? We could do with some help." Caitlyn offered.
Jez shrugged. "Sure."
"This depresses me." Carly muttered as she lay on the couch in the wedding dress store.
"I don't see how, and I don't wanna know. You probably will be like, it reminds me about when I got married." replied Jez.
"Er, NO."
"What do you think?" Caitlyn asked stepping out of the dressing room.
"Looks the same." Carly said.
"No it doesn't. I like it, but not as good as number 5 because that covered the bump more. Oh but it's better than number 2, that was just plain ew." Jez said.
"Wow Jez, you just out gayed yourself." Carly told Jez, who turned around and stuck out his tongue.
"So shall I try number 5 on again?" Caitlyn asked. Jez nodded and gave her dress number 5.
Caitlyn tried on the dress and even Carly admitted that this was the right dress. Caitlyn paid for the dress and they headed home. Jez came over to their house and they started to write a song. "Okay, I gonna play around with some chords."
Carly strummed at her guitar and soon she had the start of a good song. "Like?"
"Love." Jez replied.
"Okay, words."
They sat there and tried to think of different words. "Ooh, how about... 'the truth hurts and lies worse'" Carly suggested.
"Yeah! 'Oh the truth hurts and lies worse. I can't like it any more when I love you a little less than before.'"
Carly scribbled down these lyrics then continued to play the guitar. After 5 hours of non-stop work they had finished their song.
-x- Meanwhile -x-
Valerie had just left and Shane was in deep thought, Which Caitlyn thought would be fun to interrupt. "HEY Shane."
Shane jumped and turned around to see Caitlyn standing there with a smirk on his face. "Oh, Hi. How's baby triple G?"
"Baby Triple G?"
"Yeah, Baby Girl Grey Gellar."
Caitlyn rolled her eyes. "Okay, then. Yeah she's good. Kicking a lot."
"Really?" Shane asked placing his hands on her bump.
"Been doing it for awhile. You've been to busy to notice." She said.
"Oh yeah. Sorry."
"Don't apologize to me. Although, it was kind of you. Apologize to Carly."
Shane took his hands off her bump and slipped them into his pockets. "Oh, I will. Hey, do you know what's going on with her and Jez?" Caitlyn thought about telling him or having fun. And as always, she chose to have fun. "Nope. Hey they're in Carly's room maybe you should go ask."
He went up the stairs and knocked on Carly's door. "Come in!"
He came in the room and saw Carly scribbling on her note book and Jez sitting down on the floor. "We need to talk."
"I'll leave." Jez said about to get up.
"No, this includes you too."
Jez sat back down and looked at Carly, confused. "Is there....are you... together?" Shane asked.
The teenagers looked at each other and burst out laughing. "No....Dad. Jez is gay."
Shane obviously was embarrassed. "Oh. Oh okay then. Speak to you two later." he exited the room but could still hear them laughing. He came down the stairs and saw Caitlyn waiting at the bottom of the stairs. "You knew didn't you?"
"Yeah, Only an idiot wouldn't know that a guy, that comes shopping for wedding dresses is gay."
He rolled his eyes at Caitlyn. "Dad?"
He looked up to see Carly at the top of the stairs waving him up. "We wanna show you something."
He looked at Caitlyn and she shrugged. He came up the stairs and followed Carly into her room. Carly picked up her guitar and Jez counted them in.
(Normal – Jez.
Italic – Carly.
Bold – Both.)
'Let
me hold you
For the last time
It's the last chance to feel
again
But you broke me
Now I can't feel anything
When I
love you
It's so untrue
I can't even convince myself
When
I'm speaking
It's the voice of someone else
Oh it tears me
up
I tried to hold but it hurts too much
I tried to forgive but
it's not enough
To make it all okay
You can't play our
broken strings
You can't feel anything
That your heart don't
want to feel
I can't tell you something that ain't real
Oh
the truth hurts
And lies worse
I
can't like it any more
When
I love you a little less than before
Oh
what are we doing (doing)
We
are turning into dust
Playing house in the ruins of usRunning
back through the fire
When there's nothing left to say
It's
like chasing the very last train
When it's too late (too
late)
Oh
it tears me up
I tried to hold but it hurts too much
I tried to
forgive but it's not enough
To make it all okay
You
can't play our broken strings
You can't feel anything
That your
heart don't want to feel
I can't tell you something that ain't
real
Oh
the truth hurts
And lies worse
I can't like it any more
When
I love you a little less than before
But
we're running through the fire
When there's nothing left to
say
It's like chasing the very last train
When we both know
it's too late (too
late)
You
can't play our broken strings
You can't feel anything
That your
heart don't want to feel
I can't tell you something that ain't
real
Oh
the truth hurts
And lies worse
I can't like it any more
When
I love you a little less than before
Oh
you know that I love you
a little less than before
Let
me hold you for the last time
It's the last change to feel again.
They looked at Shane, who had a smile on his face. "Now that, That was amazing!"
They jumped up and hugged Shane, who hugged them back. "Really you liked it?" Carly asked.
"Yeah, it was really good."
These two are gonna be big. Shane thought.
