Chapter Three

Curiosity

Freddie's POV

Thank you everyone who reviewed I was really glad to see this story getting read and mostly happy to see that you guys liked it, please feel free to review again.

I follow right after Carly, what is going on? She has been acting a lot stranger than usual now this, is there something I don't know? I get up and ask an usher where she went; the woman points me in the direction then follows after me. We end up at the woman's restroom.

"Would you like me to check?" asks the usher.

"Sure I don't have much choice," I chuckle. She politely smiles then opens the door. It seems like forever I sit down on the floor next to the vents on the bottom of the dark mahogany wood door. I hear soft murmurs, Carly then the woman then Carly again. I don't notice the murmurs stop and the doors swing open almost hitting me.

"Were leaving," Carly announces then stalks off down the corridor. Feisty. The usher creeps open the bathroom door, by now I have already gotten off the floor.

"You must have your hands full," she motions down the empty hall that Carly has just walked through.

"I do," I say then walk down to find Carly. When I get into the lobby, she has Collins and Peyton standing beside her.

"Let's go," she says coldly.

We all pile up into our Chevy, I start the engine, and we pull out. I decide to wait a bit to question Carly, when she is mad she is mad.

"Mom why did we leave church so early?" Peyton asks from the back seat.

"Shut up brat just be glad were gone," Collins says nudging him.

"Oww!" he yells even though I am sure it didn't hurt badly.

"Dad," he starts but before he finishes Carly cuts him off.

"Collins stop it," she says sharply.

"Whatever," she mutters. Unfortunately, Carly hears this and snaps.

"What was that?" she is furious her face is bright red like a tomato. Collins looks scared I have never seen her look like this before.

"Nothing," she squeaks.

"Just what I thought," Carly snaps.

The car is silent for a minute I take this as an opportunity to bring up the church situation.

"Carly what happened back there?" I try to sound demanding but not mean.

"I was just a little sick that's all," she acts preoccupied by searching in her purse while talking.

"I wasn't born yesterday, what were you and the usher talking about?"

"Listen, Freddie do you have to know everything I said? I was sick and that's what I meant." That proved nothing, so I sit back and continue to drive.

We get to the apartment; Carly rushes in ahead of everyone and doesn't say much. She keeps quite unlocks the apartment and goes inside straight to our room. That meant one thing she wants to talk. I walk in after her deciding whether if was safe or not then I trusted my instincts and walk into the room.

"Freddie," she says loudly points her long nails at me. I shouldn't have come in here.

"Yes Carly."

"What were telling the kids? I can't believe you let Collins act like a brat. Then baby up to her you are spoiling out children." What? I wasn't spoiling Collins, and why is she so mad?

"Carly I wasn't babying up to her, just a simple act of kindness was shown." I mutter then put my hand on the door implying that I was done.

"So now you're saying I don't show kindness to the kids? And that wasn't kindness you should treat our kids a lot better, show them real love." What is wrong with her? Is she going crazy?

"Carly where do you stand to say something like that? You're never here to know how I treat the kids. Besides I actually spend time with them, maybe you should get out of your work, every kid needs a mother." Oh, no I let it slip. Carly knows that good and well, she lost her mother. She pushes past me grabs her purse and slams the door. I'm so stupid.

"What was that?" Collins asks holding her cell phone away from her ear.

"Nothing just your mother,"

"Oh my god my mom is so annoying." Collins says into the phone walking back into her room.

I walk down the stairs to find Carly driving off in her crème colored Lexus. Great I really blew it this time.
