"I miss those days too but I am not going to break things off with Johnny because you want that little kid back! The girl I was back in Ludendorff is gone, Trevor! Get over it!" Carly says, yelling the last part. She had been putting up the decorations when a drunken Trevor had barged in and within minutes, had gone from crying about how he missed her to flipping out and yelling when he saw one of the wedding invitations Carly had made.

"You're not marrying him! This isn't fucking right, Carly Jade!" Trevor yells, Carly realising something when she saw the look in Trevor's eyes.

"Why don't you explain the real reason? It's not the age difference because I know you're screwing K8lynn… it's not you wanting me to be a little kid again. So what is it? Did you ever care about me at all?" Carly says, Trevor looking away… "Johnny and I are starting a life together… as of now, you're no longer a part of my life." She says, Trevor looking up.

"Carly-" Trevor starts to say.

"Get out! Get out of my home, get out of my life, Trevor Philips! You can either walk away or-" Carly shouts, pressing her SNS Pistol against Trevor's head. "You'll never take another breath." She says, Trevor knowing she meant it.

Trevor left, Carly slamming and locking the door… once it set in, she would let herself feel her emotions...

Chilly November mornings made Carly think back to Ludendorff sometimes… today, her mind was somewhere else.

Checking on the Jennie-o turkey in the oven again, Carly made sure it was cooking okay before turning back to the pumpkin pie she had just finished prepping, cinnamon on the pie crust as always. She put it in the oven afterwards, closing the oven door before smoothing out her charcoal off sleeve sweater, black leggings and walking into the living room, sitting next to Johnny and readjusting her black stiletto heels as the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade was airing.

"So who all has been invited this year?" Johnny asks, wrapping an arm around Carly's shoulders.

"Ashley, Clint, the LS Hunterz, Immy, Sam, most of my family, The Lost, your brother and Jack… although I don't think Jack's celebrated Thanksgiving before." Carly says.

"Well, we tried to invite him last year but he couldn't make it back from England in time. Now that I think about it, I don't think Tommy's ever celebrated Thanksgiving before either." Johnny says.

"I'm not sure, he moved from Sydney to Los Santos when he was 13." Carly says as Johnny held her, the two kissing.

It had been an incredibly crazy year and with 2017 approaching, Carly and Johnny wanted to enjoy the holidays before the new year brought new craziness… particularly, craziness from Trevor because Carly and Johnny were planning a wedding for Valentine's Day 2017.

A knock at the door caught their attention and Johnny stood up, walking over and opening it, letting Jack in.

"Hey… wow, this place looks amazing." Jack says after closing the door and looking around, seeing Thanksgiving decorations on the walls.

"Hopefully, it stays this way… last time I celebrated Thanksgiving with Ashley was back in Ludendorff and she and-" Carly says, stopping herself… she didn't want to remember the good times anymore and Jack could tell that it wasn't easy.

It was days after the fight between her and Trevor that Carly had found out part of the truth… while living in Germany, Trevor had fallen in love with a woman named Charlotte and they were engaged until Charlotte was murdered right in front of Trevor.

"Carly-" Jack starts to say.

"I asked him repeatedly to tell me the truth… all I ever got from Trevor was lies, threats and hypocrisy. So I figured…" Carly says, changing her mind. "It's Thanksgiving… let's forget all about the lunatic and have fun." She says, all three deciding to let it drop for now.

About a half hour later, Ashley, Clint, the LS Hunterz, Michael, Jimmy, Tracey, Sam, Sammy, Franklin, Immy, Lexi, Lamar, Mikey Klebitz, The Lost MC and Lester showed up as Carly and Johnny had checked on the Pumpkin and Pecan pies, putting them on the stovetop and checking on the cranberry sauce, Hawaiian King bread rolls, macaroni and cheese and every other kind of food they bought while everyone else was either watching Tv, talking or in the LS Hunterz case, playing football outside… and then Carly heard it playing on the radio after getting the turkey out of the oven and putting it on the stove.

"Climbing up on Solsbury Hill… I could see the city lights. Wind was blowing, time stood still… eagle flew out of the night…" Carly sang softly as she shut the oven door and turned the oven off, continuing to sing and unaware that it had caught Michael's attention.

"That was a lifetime ago, kiddo…" Michael says, Carly turning around.

"There was a time Trevor loved me like his own family… I guess I should've known back then that Uncle T was just who Trevor Philips was pretending to be." Carly says, the two hugging.

"Hey tiny, where's that damn turkey?" Lex shouted as he walked into the house, Carly and Michael letting go.

"Keep your pants on, Lex! The turkey ain't going anywhere it's not supposed to!" Carly says, Michael pulling the plastic bag off of the turkey.

Once seated around the table, everyone held each other's hands and closed their eyes, Jack saying a Thanksgiving prayer.

"I would also like to say that without Carly as my friend… my sister, I wouldn't have gotten through what life has thrown at me over the past 3 years. Without anyone I've met and grown close to in that time frame… it's not always easy to find what you want in life, hold onto it when you do because you never know when it'll be gone. Amen." Jack says.

"Amen." Everyone says before opening their eyes and starting to cut up the turkey.

As much as she wished it was different… as much as Carly wanted Trevor around, Trevor would never accept what she wanted out of life and would go to any lengths to destroy it.

At the same time, Trevor looked at the photo of Carly… before picking it up and throwing it, the glass in the frame cracking and catching K8lynn's attention, Trevor walking to her as she ran in.

"Everyone abandons me… it was only a matter of time before Carly did too." Trevor says sadly, K8lynn resting her hands on his shoulders.

"You've gotta be completely honest with her… you can't treat her like she's the enemy because of who she loves." K8lynn says, Trevor pulling her close to him and the two kissing.

The year was almost over… Trevor wanted to make a clean start next year but right now as K8lynn was leading him to their room, all he wanted was her...
