Carmen came downstairs the next morning, and she stiffened. Helen was there, holding a baby in her arms. Lee was standing next to her, and they were lovingly stroking and talking to the baby.

Carmen was frozen; Lee was showing so much love towards the baby…the kind of love he never bothered showing her. Tears sprung up to the girl's eyes and Carmen grabbed her coat, made sure her phone was in her pocket before slamming out of the house.

She ran as fast as she could…she didn't know where to…but she was just running. Sobs began to escape from her, and as soon as she got to the park, Carmen dropped to her knees, shaking and sobbing.

They never loved her…but they loved the new baby…Lily was lucky that her dad and Shannay loved Lily and Jonah the same. Carmen felt another sob choke her and she just hid her face, rocking backwards and forwards.

By the time the storm started, Carmen had moved under a tree. She was shaking all over and she was freezing, since she'd been out in the rain a few moments ago. The thunder and lightning was basically right above the park she was at, but she didn't care; Carmen felt nothing.

"CARMEN!" Tyler was instantly by her side. He was soaked through. "I've been looking for you for hours! I…we were so worried!" he said, helping her up. He peeled off his coat and wrapped it around her.

"Tyler." Carmen said.

Tyler began to walk with her, putting his hoodie up.

"Tyler!" Carmen said.

"What?" he asked, looking at her.

Carmen held her arm out to stop him, and she turned him to face her.

"…Carmen?" he said.

"Thank you for doing all this for me." She said quietly.

Tyler couldn't help himself; he leaned over and kissed her.

The rain fell like confetti around them as Carmen kissed back.

They jumped apart when they heard Mike's voice.

"CARMEN! TYLER! GET IN THE VAN NOW!" he shouted over the noise.

"Carmen, I…" Tyler began.

"It's okay." She said, and with that, she grabbed his hand and they ran over to the van, getting in.

Carmen was sitting in her room, thinking, when Tyler entered.

"Hi." He said, sitting beside her.

"So…what happens now?" she asked softly.

"Well…I, um, I do like you, Carmen, and, if you want, we could…start going out?" Tyler said.

Carmen smiled softly. "I'd like that." She said softly.
