Questions Answered?

a/n: woohooo I actually finished it tonight/ this morning! I really need to start sleeping.

"Hey kiddo." Spencer greeted his little sister as she entered their apartment.

"Hey." She replied putting her bag down on the arm chair in front of her.

"Well that wasn't a very happy 'hey'." He pated the spot on the couch next to him indicating he wanted her to join him. "Come tell Spencer what's wrong."

Carly plopped herself on the couch and rested her head on her brother's shoulder.

"I saw Sam and Freddie at the mall today."

"Freddie was at the mall?" Spencer asked in shock.

"I know, right? And they were with Brad and Lexi."

"And you wanted to be there with them?"

"Being there the first time Freddie goes to the mall with Sam is something that falls under the best friend rights." Carly said as tears began to fall from her eyes.

"But you don't have those rights anymore and it sucks."

"It really, really sucks." Carly sobbed out. "How do I fix this?" she whispered.

"I don't know that you can, Kid. You really messed up."

"Not helping!" she exclaimed. She didn't need someone reminding her she was a fuck up; she needed someone to tell her it would be alright as she cried her heart out.

"Carls I didn't lie to you when you came to me after Freddie left here months ago and I'm not going to lie to you now. I told you then to apologize and you didn't listen to me. It's been nearly a year since they got together, there's a very good chance it's been too long."

Spencer hated seeing his sister so upset but she had no one to blame but herself. He knew he spoiled her to over compensate for their parents not being around but he didn't raise his little sister to be the nasty bitch she proved she could be this last year. Her past actions made it hard to believe how sincere she was about wanting to apologize. Did she honestly miss her friends or was she just jealous she had been replaced?

"It'll be a year July 7th."

"If you were Sam would you forgive you?"

"Yes." She answered immediately.

"Carly?"

"Okay. No. But Sam is more forgiving then I am." She tried to reason with him.

"And what about Freddie? Would he forgive you?"

"No." That one was a no brainer. Freddie absolutely hated her right now. "But what if they do forgive me?"

"But what if they don't? Are you prepared for that? Because there will be no temper tantrums being thrown if you don't get your way, I'm not dealing with you again." Don't get him wrong, he loves his sister and generally lets her get away with anything, but living with the egotistical monster she turned into months ago was not on his list of things to do anytime soon.

"I wasn't that bad." Carly started getting defensive.

"Yes, you were. Carly I'm not kidding, you start acting like that again and you'll be spending your senior year in boarding school."

"That's not fair!" She shot up from the couch and stomped her foot. Here we go again, Spencer thought.

"Your actions towards others are unfair Carly."

"I'm calling Dad." She said in a threatening tone.

"For what? He's in complete agreement with me on this one, Kid. Get over yourself would you? You're too old to be acting like this. Stomping your feet and crying your crocodile tears is not going to get you your friends back, it's what caused them to stay away. And it may very well be the reason they choose not to forgive you. Deal with it."

"This isn't fair!"

"Life isn't fair!" He screamed back at her. As cliché as it was, it was also incredibly true. "You dug your grave now lay in it. I get that it's not easy to admit your faults and that it's terrifying to put yourself out there knowing there is a very good chance you'll get shot down but this is the price you have to pay for your rottenness."

Carly just shook her head and stomped up the stairs to her room. Spencer was supposed to be helpful! He was supposed to tell her that they would forgive her and everything would work out but no, he has to tell her what a bitch she is. Just because she knew she was a bitch doesn't mean she needed her big brother throwing it in her face.

Flopping down on her bed Carly realized just how awful she felt after listening to Spencer for a few minutes and all he did was tell the truth. She couldn't begin to imagine how shitty she had made Sam feel with everything she had said and done to her over the course of seven months. She really was a monster. Spencer was right, they probably wouldn't forgive her. She just hoped her brother forgave her.

I hope you enjoyed the past two updates. I don't see sleep happening anytime soon so maybe there will be another update? Haha

Love,
