I hate filler chapters. They're so hard to write and they make me feel guilty for making you guys suffer. Also, thanks for 1000+ views! By the way, your rage at Josh was highly entertaining. It's raining and I'm scared.
Carmen POV
"Why so happy?" I asked Megan. She had this grin on her face for no apparent reason.
"Oh, nothing..." She was silent for a minute, then it all burst out. "Adam and I had our first kiss!"
We all cheered and hugged her. "Congrats!" said Taylor.
Megan gasped. "Did I just kiss and tell? Oh no!"
Annette calmed her down. "Trust me, we would've found a way to know about it. Besides, Adam probably told Mitch and Jerome."
She sighed. "I guess. I just don't want to be like those girls."
Taylor narrowed her eyes. "Do you have something against those girls?"
Megan stood up. "Why, yes, yes I do."
Annette stepped between them. "Girls, girls, you're both pretty. Now sit down and eat your breakfast." They looked at each other and laughed.
I spooned some more oatmeal into my mouth. The other me had different tastes, so there was no sugary cereal in the house. Hopefully my mom knew what to buy me when we went to her house for Thanksgiving. She knew I was a chocoholic.
The other me. It felt weird saying that. I mean, you've heard of people with spilt personalities, but never literally. I actually have two different sides of me. I guess I always knew I was a unique person.
The flight to New Jersey was long. I had a window seat next to Mitch because Jerome and Annette wanted to sit together. I tried to ignore how close they were sitting, because I really didn't enjoy seeing my two best friends in a relationship. It wasn't that I was against it, I just wasn't used to it yet. Mitch kept his distance, although once in a while her shoot me a worried glance. I guess he still thought I was sick.
When my mom answered the door, I immediately embraced her. I knew this could be the last time the real me would ever see her. I had already decided to do everything I could to make a good impression.
She looked down at my outfit. "No sweatshirt today?" I had to wear a sweater, skinny jeans, and boots because someone had gotten rid if my good clothes.
I shrugged. "People change." She smiled in that way moms do when they think your growing up.
"I finally have a daughter, not a son." She didn't actually offend me by saying that.
Dinner was delicious. The turkey was cooked to perfection, and my mom made us Chocolate truffles and pumpkin pie for dessert. Jerome's mom came over like how it used to be, because neither of our families had relatives that came for Thanksgiving. I got to talk to Jerome's mom again and tell her about college. She seemed to like Annette too, so that was a plus.
I went up to the room I was sleeping in. It was bare and it made me feel sad. I knew it would never be decorated how I wanted. Come to think of it, Josh would probably take me away as soon as college was over.
He was ruining my life. I knew what I had to do. I couldn't live the rest of my life wondering who he would threaten next. I hurriedly started packing my things.
"Carmen?" Said a voice as I rapidly shoved clothes into my bag. I spun around to be face to face with Mitch. "What are you doing?"
"I have to... sort some things out with Josh. I left some things unfinished." I continued repacking.
"No. You can not leave this vacation to go be with him." I turned to him and glared.
"Is someone jealous?"
He glared back. "No, I just don't trust him. I don't want you to get hurt." He sat down on the bed. I sat beside him.
"I know how to stay out of trouble. Besides, when's the last time I let someone hurt me? Never."
He put his arm around me. "If you think you can do this, go ahead. I won't be there your whole life to protect you. Just remember, I'm always available to pound him if he hurts you." I smiled.
"Thanks. I guess I'll stay." How was I supposed to fix things now? It would have been so much easier if they were all gone. Suddenly, a plan formed in my mind. I felt the most powerful I had in the last few months. My confidence returned and I knew I could do it. I could do anything.
"Wanna play some Minecraft?" He asked.
I nodded and we grabbed our laptops. I signed onto my account and waited for Mitch to join me. "Let's play hide and seek."
"Sure," he smiled. "My viewers would love that."
It suddenly occurred to me that my other self may not have posted videos. While I was waiting, I checked my channel. To my relief, I had uploaded videos. Sure, they weren't the same quality, but I managed to rake in 50,000 more subs. Not bad, I thought.
"Now, who's doing the intro?" I had my headset on (yuck, my other self had bought a pink one) and Mitch had his. I was ready to start my recording software.
"You take it," he told me. I nodded and started recording.
"3,2,1. Hey guys, it's Golden Flame here and I'm with the one and only BajanCanadian! We're playing some hide and seek here."
"I can't wait to get solid," Mitch joked. I rolled my eyes.
"Okay, I feel like those jokes don't work when a girl is here." He laughed.
I was a fence and we were playing Town Square. I sat on top of the fountain, because no one ever looked there. Mitch and I commentated on lots of things, most likely boring the viewers to death. The best part was when he rage-quit.
"Oh no, I see a seeker!" He said. I looked onto his screen and watched the scene play out. A business bacca came up to him and paused. After five seconds, he started beating the crap out of Mitch. I laughed as Mitch tried to fight back and died. "That's it, I quit!" He yelled. He slammed down the headphones and stormed out of the room.
Still laughing, I decided to end the video. "Well, this has been Carmen and Mitch playing Minecraft. Leave a like and a comment and I'll see you later embers!" I shut off my recording equipment.
The worst thing about fillers? Cliffhangers are next to impossible. In the reviews, tell me what you think Carmen's plan is! Also, we'll be getting new characters next chapter, including an OC I got. Once again, I apologize for my inability to write good chapters.
