Carey opened the freezer door and took each cube out one by one, taking his sweet time like Molly more or less asked. He knew they would get caught at one point and so had she. That's why they made that bull shit agreement about never allowing it to happen again. Carey couldn't speak for Molly, but he really felt something a unique feeling you get when you hold someone; a feeling that just lets you know this is right. He had some girlfriends before, none lasting more then three months, and he never got that feeling from them. But he also wondered how could an actual relationship be possible seeing Jack's screaming reaction. And his parents certainly would try to put a stop to it. He went by the doorway to able to hear what was being said.

"Jack come here." Unfortunately he was unable to see into the living room so he had no idea if Jack came or not.

"Please Jack."

"Why?" The sound of his voice was coming from another side of the room, so Carey figured he finally moved.

"Should I leave you two alone?" He had forgotten all about Annie, she had been so quiet while everything was falling out around her.

"No I want you to hear this as well."

"Alright."

"I know I have a lot to explain to you guys and I don't know ho—"

"Do not know how to explain? Come on what's to explain!? We saw plenty to figure it out on our own."

"Jack I don't say this very often, but shut up. I don't want to hear another out of you understand?" Carey had never heard Molly that pissed off before. It was a change he didn't like.

"I realize that must have been a huge shock for you to see I certaintly didn't want you to find out like that."

"Find out what?" Doesn't Jack ever do as he told?

"Jack!" Annie took over the yelling on that one. There are no words from anyone for what seems to be an entirety, but it reality is less than a minute. Carey who is still at the doorway waits impatiently for this to be over with. Then he hears the sound of crying, the sound of Molly's tears. And the next thing he knew he was in the living room rushing to her side.

"Come on Molly it'll be all right." He whispers softly next to her ear.

"Haven't you caused enough damage?" It took a lot of control to keep Carey from punching Jack square in the face.

"Carey I tried to tell them, but I can't." She whispers it the sound of her voice expressing guilt and shame.

"It's ok, don't worry I'll handle it." Carey looked up at Annie and Jack who still didn't have complete understanding of the events around them, and said.

"I'll going to keep this short an sweet. I like Molly. I'm pretty damn sure she likes me. That's it end of story." To top it off, and to make stem rise from Jack's ears, he leaned over and kissed Molly.

"Well if you're happy, than so am I." Annie told them while leaving the room.

"Go to hell!" Jack screamed while tracing Annie's steps up the stairs.

"That went well." Molly said with a sigh.

"They'll adjust to it."

"I hope."

"So do you like me?" For her answer Molly just laughed and nodded very slightly.

"Good. Let's wait a bit before we tell my parents ok? I have a feeling Jack won't tell or would Annie"

"After this I don't think I want to tell them at any point."

"I feel you there. But like we already found out the secret won't last long."

"I know. I know."

In a period of less than 24 hours Carey had grown and changed in unbelievable ways. Changes that will take awhile to adjust to, and not allow himself slip back into his old skin. But he won't change a thing.
