Carly's p o v

Gossip

I wrestled with myself as I looked over her letter do I forgive her? I sometimes looked back on our childhood I missed how we use to be ...Missy was one of my best friends growing up we shared so much . It hurt to look back but maybe it would help ..sitting at the piano I tried to put my words into a song.

When you look back on your days of youthful innocence

Can you tell me do you recall your first lie?

We were eight years old ..oh I recall every word

Every glance it rolls back back into my mind

And no matter how hard I try [I try ] I can't erase

Your lies from my mind

Time slips by like a hour glass

Sands of time

"Carly ..

I looked up to see my uncle staring at me as I sat at the piano he looked at my lyrics as I tried to cover them glaring at him.

What's going on Carly girl? Don't tell me nothing either I can see it's something which worries me

I shrugged

Come on kido I've known you longer then you knew yourself

You knew of me that's not the same as knowing me you left when I was two and I haven't seen you since

I take full responsibility for that Carly I do own that

Let me help you now

Well my problem is do I forgive someone who hurt me in the past if they say they have changed?

Forgiveness is a hard trait cause it means allowing someone in and giving them the chance to hurt you again

I don't know if I can do that I don't know if I can take that chance

Then I think your answer is clearer then you thought

Your a smart girl Carl's between your amazing mom and my goofy yet awesome brother you have a amazing sense of judgment kid and smarts ..you'll make the right choices.

I miss dad

I know baby we all do but my brother is doing what he loves and he's doing it so we can all be free ..he loves you kid

He tapped my nose I just sighed it didn't really help I watched him get up and leave as I started playing again. He lingered watching me I closed my eyes shutting everyone out as I played.

Over the next few weeks I had a ton of talks with Sam, Freddie , Spencer who all made me see that maybe forgiving Missy would set me free forgiveness didn't mean I had to trust her or even like her again.

That's when the rumors and gossip started going around in the halls my panic attack was in full force when Sam found me curled up on the bathroom floor.

Cupcake what's wrong?

Sam it can't be true

What's that sweetheart?

Carly take a deep breath and talk to me

I felt her rubbing my back

Missy ..she ..damn it she's using me again Sam she kept telling me she wanted to be my friend she wanted my forgiveness and that she needed it..

I know so what's wrong?

I was going to forgive her

So what happened?

I looked away feeling numb sick and shaken I couldn't believe I had fallen for her again. I heard Sam's voice but I couldn't make out the words I felt her lift me up I felt the softness of her sweet lips on my face . I heard her calling someone but it was a daze.

Carly..

His voice was laced with concern kind of cute in a nubish way his arms embraced me from the other

Side. They talked to the nurse explaining I was sick even though they had no idea how sick I really was. We headed outside when I heard Sam remark.

Holy Chiz that's a lot of sirens

What did you do this time Puckett?

Nothing I swear it wasn't me I was with her the whole time

Sam

I swear Freddie

Then who for?

I didn't answer I just buried my head in Sam's chest , the gossip followed us as we left everyone thought Sam had done something kids were betting on who her victim was what she did how long she would get. I shut my eyes Freddie covered my ears as they lead me to my car.
