Not Just Another

"Bobby…?"

"I don't want you hanging out with Jack anymore. Ever. Just stay away from him."

"You're not my father! Why the hell are you telling me what I can and cannot do!"

"Because I'm watching out my brother! Carmen, he can't just be a one night stand…he's got feelings for you. It does NOT work like that."

"Look who's talking." Carmen mumbled.

"We're not on any different level, Carmen! This is wrong! You know it is, so stop acting so fuckin' oblivious to the world! Stay away from him and make this as painless as possible."

"What do you want me to do then? He's sleeping. I can't just go in and yell at him to get out!"

"How'd you get rid of your other one night stands, then, huh Carm?"

Carmen paused and just starred for a minute.

"That's what I thought. Just…when he wakes up, send him home. Don't tell him what's going on, just send him home." Bobby stormed out of her house and left her sad and angry.

School - Next Day

"I told you she wasn't any good…" Josh said to Jack, both of them watching Carmen talking to Justin and Hailey.

Jack didn't really have anything to say. He didn't know why Carmen was ignoring him.

Carmen's House – 11:45PM

"Jack…? Where are you…?" Carmen asked over the phone.

"Jail…"

"What the fuck did you do?"

"I'll tell you later… Can you just come bail me out…?"

"Uh…yeah…Why didn't you call Bobby…or Evey?"

"Just come bail me out please! I'm not in the mood for you questioning me! That's the whole reason I didn't call Bobby!"

"Alright, I'll be there in, like, 20 minutes…" Carmen sighed, hanging up her cell phone and got up to get dressed.

She threw on some jeans and a hoodie and grabbed her keys. "Dad?" She called into the living room.

"Huh?" Her dad called back from the couch.

"I've gotta go help Jack with something…I'll be back in a little while." Carmen sighed, grabbing her coat and shoes and opening the front door.

"Okay. Be careful please! Remember you're still in Detroit!"

Carmen shut the door behind her and walked over to her car.

A/N: Kinda left you hangin' here! But I'm working on the next chapter right now…it's called "Rescue Me"! You're gonna find out what's with Jack and Josh then…
