Third Person POV

"What the hell are you doing here?"

Jimmy paused from chopping lumber to glare at Carl who was standing in front of him with a bandaged arm.

Carl held his other hand out as a sign of surrender, "Hey, I'm just trying to see how you're doing."

"I'm fine, leave me alone." Jimmy grumbled and resumed cutting his axe through wood.

"Hey man, we need to talk."

"There's nothing to talk about! You already have Beth, you don't need to rub it in my face!" Jimmy snapped but Carl noticed that he mumbled out that last part sadly.

Carl gently placed his hand on Jimmy's shoulder and took his axe from him. He guided him downhill and stopped by the cornfield.

"Beth's an amazing person and you should not treat her that way. There are other girls out there." Carl smiled at him.

"Yeah but no one like her." Jimmy looked down glumly.

"Hey, you're a good guy and you deserve a great girl as well. You shouldn't try to hurt anyone just because you couldn't get what you want."

They stood there for a long while for Jimmy to let the message sink in.

"Do you really think there's a girl for me out there," Jimmy looked at Carl with hopefulness.

"Absolutely. You know, Eliza had a crush on you since we were 10."

"Really?"

"Yup, and she's actually kind of cute."

"Whoa," Jimmy started to blush, "Do you think I should ask her out?"

"She's all yours." Carl patted his back encouragingly.


Beth's POV

1 week later...

"Hey guys," Carl smiled at Jimmy and Eliza as they enter the front doors of the movies.

They started dating two days ago. Carl told me him and the guys helped Jimmy to ask Eliza out and they planned this whole serenading thing in front of the Morales household, while Louis laughed his ass off video taping the whole thing. Eliza was so enthusiastic when she told us and the girls and I felt happy for her. I'm also happy that Jimmy finally accepted my relationship with Carl and moved on, and we are now good friends. Now he had his arms around her Eliza and they seem pretty happy together. We planned on watching a movie along with Sophia, Randall, Louis, and Noah.

"Hey man!" Jimmy gave me a high five and waved at me beside Carl.

They all watched the movie and ate at the "IN-N-OUT" Burger afterwards. And as everybody was going home, Carl walked me to my house while we were holding hands.

"I'm really glad you and Jimmy made up." I squeezed his hand gently.

"Well I am a pretty gifted peacemaker," he playfully gloated.

"Haha," I laughed half-heartily and rolled my eyes.

We walked up to the front porch and Carl grabbed me by the waist so I can look up at him.

"And I would never let anyone come in between us," he gaze at me lovingly.

I smirked and smiled up at me as leaned in to give him a soft kiss.
