Hey, I forgot a disclaimer last time, so here it goes. I don't own anything related to So Weird. Bethany and Uncle Christopher are my characters. Too bad Carey isn't mine as well....goes off to dream about Eric Lively This is still kinda introductory to the big story, so keep reading. :)
Annie watched as Carey and Bethany smiled at each other. Ideas began forming in her mind. Ideas that quickly went from hugs and kisses to long white dresses and babies. How great would that be? Carey, one of her favorite guys, and Bethany, her favorite cousin. Together. Forever. Annie realized she was getting ahead of herself, and smiled at her silliness. After all, Carey and Bethany didn't even know each other, and a smile could mean anything.
"Bethany and Uncle Christopher, this is Jack Phillips and Carey Bell. Guys, this is my cousin Bethany and my Uncle Christopher." Annie introduced her friends to her relatives and smiled. Everyone shook hands, and they moved into the house. Carey watched Bethany's back as she walked through the front door. There was just something about that girl. She had a bit of that same mysterious quality that Annie had, something almost magical, but there was something else. The only thing he knew for sure was that she was one of the prettiest girls he had seen in a long time.

That night, as everyone sat around the dinner table, Carey watched Bethany. He felt that ever since Bethany had arrived he had been watching her. He couldn't help it, he was intrigued. He still couldn't put his finger on what it was that made her so different. Suddenly Bethany's green-brown eyes looked away from Molly, who was talking about life on the road, and met Carey's across the table. Bethany immediately looked down at her plate, then back at Molly. Carey fought to hide his smile.
Stop it, Bethany chastised herself. You have no business doing that. She couldn't be interested in a guy right now, no matter how cute he was and no matter that he kept staring at her. That wasn't why she and her father had come. Bethany was still young, and she wanted to start over, but not now. It was just too soon. I need to get out of here, she thought.

Bethany lay on the fold out couch in the Phillip's den. She wanted desperately to go to Annie's room, wake her up, and tell her everything. She couldn't though. Not only would her father be disappointed in her, but she would be putting Annie in danger if Adam ever found out. Adam...ever since she had met Adam her life had been so confusing. Why did this have to happen to her? Why couldn't she tell her cousin everything? Why couldn't she smile at Carey and not feel guilty and afraid at the same time? Why couldn't she just live her life again? That was all Bethany wanted. To have her life back. It wasn't fair.
