Disclaimer: Sadly, I do not own any any of the characters in this story, except for the ones I make up.
This chapter is pretty short, I'm suffering from a bit of writers block, but I'll try to update soon! Thanks so much for the reviews!
Carly sat quietly at the dining room table, just picking at the steak that was in front of her. She really didn't feel like eating. She couldn't stop thinking about Stacey and Jay. Her dad and Deb were deep in conversation about the wedding. Carly just tuned it out. The phone rang, Carly ignored it.
"Honey, could you answer the phone please?" her dad asked. Carly got up automatically and walked into the kitchen and picked up her phone.
"Hello?"
"Car? It's Tony. How are ya?"
"I'm fine. Listen, I'm in the middle of dinner, can I call you back?" Carly asked, not wanting to go back and eat, but knowing that it was rude to talk on the phone during dinner.
"Don't worry about calling me back, i'm just letting you know that there is a party at my place tonight, alright? I'll see you there" Tony said before hanging up.
Carly walked back into the dining room and sat down.
"And who was that?" Deb asked curiously, almost accusingly. Carly sipped her grape juice.
"Tony. The guys are going to a movie tonight and wanted to know if I could go.." Carly lied, not making eye contact with Deb, but looking at her father, who she knew wouldn't say no.
"Okay sweetie, have fun."
"Thanks dad" Carly managed, getting up really quickly. She practically ran up her stairs, she had to get ready if Stacey was going to be there.
Carly sat on the pier thinking about what had happened with Jay. She smiled thinking about it. It had been exactly what she expected, and more.
"Carly?" she heard Stacey yell form behind her. She stood up and turned around. God, he was cute. And sweet. How was she going to tell him that her and Jay were..well, more than friends? Stacey smiled at her sweetly when she got closer and she saw him blush when she smiled back. She was about to break his heart.
"Hey Stace" she said, getting on her toes to kiss him on the cheek. Stacey moved his head though at the last second, and Carly's kiss ended up on his lips. He kissed her softly. Carly let him for awhile, but then she thought about Jay and pulled away.
"Is something wrong?" Stacey asked. Carly bit her lip. It was now or never. She could just blurt it out. Say it. Say "I slept with Jay". It wasn't that easy though. Carly continued to look at him. She took a deep breath.
"I'm moving" she said.
"What?"
Carly couldn't believe she chickened out. But the distrustful look on Staceys face made her scared. Scared and sad. She couldn't hurt him. She just couldn't.
Walking up to Tony's, Carly felt a whole lot less excited than she was. Thinking back to when she almost told Stacey made her cringe. She hated lying to her friends. She hated lying about what happened with Jay. No one knew. Well, not exactly. Tony found out. She "accidentaly" told him one time when she had been drinking. Carly walked up the steps to Tony's front door, took a deep breath and walked in.
