Carly pulled into her mom and step-dad's driveway about 1AM. When she stopped the car, she had to rub her tired eyes so she could see straight. At one point she had to pull over because she had been sobbing so hard. As she got out, she noticed the lights were still on. Even though they knew she would be coming late, she still didn't expect them to wait up for her.
"Mom? Jeff?" she called as she opened the door. When she closed the door, she noticed her mom and Jeff walking toward her, as well as her older brother Reid and older sister Ashley.
"Hi honey," her mom, Marlene, said as she wrapped her arms around her daughter, both women sobbing on each others shoulders. After the hug was broken, Carly also hugged her step-dad, and after a few moments, that hug was broken as well.
"What happened?" Carly asked as everyone went toward the living room. She then noticed Ally's baby book and several other photo albums out, and started flipping through one of them.
"Well, we aren't exactly sure. From what the police gathered, she was found about a half hour after she got off the phone with you. It looks like she was hit from behind, and it looks like the vehicle hit her repeatedly. It looks like then her car flipped over several times in a ditch and whoever hit her took off..." Marlene said as she began to sob again.
All three of the Flair children went toward their mother with hugs. "I can't believe she is really gone," Ashley said just above a whisper. Carly nodded. "I told her that when I would see her, we were going to look at prom dress magazines. She was really looking foward to prom," Carly said as she began to cry again.
Marlene gave Carly a quick hug and looked at all three children. "Why don't you guys go to bed. We have alot to do tomorrow."
"Are you sure mom?" Reid asked.
"Yeah, go on up. Oh, before I forget, Carly you have a visitor in your old bedroom."
Carly was confused. "Ok," she said as she headed up the stairs. Who was this visitor? Was it Ted? Surely not because I left the arena before he did, she thought to herself. As she got closer to her closed bedroom door, she then realized how awful she was toward Ted, and pretty well ignored him at the arena. He didn't deserve that. When she opened the door, she was surprised and shocked to see her ex-boyfriend, Justin, sitting on the bed. "Hey," he said as he stood up.
"H-hey Justin. What are you doing here?" she asked.
"Your mom called, and told me about Ally. I'm really, really sorry," he said as he held out his arms for a hug. While she stared at him, it really surprised her that her mom called him, but then again, it didn't surprise her. No one knew about the abuse he did to her for that one horrible year. No one, except for Ted. Carly could feel tears streaming down her face again, and instantly jumped into his arms.
"Carls, I know this isn't the best time, but I've been doing alot of thinking about us, and I am so sorry for everything that I did to you. I have gotten some help, and you are always on my mind. I really want to try and work things out," he said, looking deep into her eyes.
Carly didn't know if she could trust him. Did he truly change? Well, there was really only one way to find out, and knew that eventually she would have to get over her feelings for Ted. She then smiled at Justin. "Yes, we can try."
Ted sighed as he got Carly's voicemail for what seemed like the 15th time. He then decided to leave her a voicemail. "Hey Carly, its Ted. Umm...I just wanted to call and see how you were. Your dad and Stephanie came up to me and Randy after you left, and told us what happened. I'm so sorry to hear about Ally. I know I haven't been the greatest lately, but if you need anything or need to talk, please let me know. I guess I'll talk to you then. Bye," he said as he ended the call.
"Why do we have to leave?" Kristen whined as she walked into hotel room and noticed that Ted was starting to pack the suitcase again.
"Kris, my best friend's sister died tonight. I may not have been a good friend lately, but I owe it to her to go to the funeral. I think it would be nice if you came as well."
Kristen smirked as she lay across the bed. "Some best friend she is, trying to break up our relationship by telling you that I am faking a pregnancy! I think she has the hots for you!" she snapped, trying to sound real.
"Kris that's enough, and just to let you know, she does not have the hots for me..." he said as he continued to pack the suitcase. Kristen rolled her eyes and walked into another room. I don't know if she likes me, but damn do I love her, he thought to himself.
A couple days passed. Carly still couldn't believe her sister was gone, even as she watched the priest recite a prayer in front of the casket. Justin placed a comforting hand on her shoulder, and she quickly turned around, smiling at him. When the priest was done, he said anyone who wanted to say their final good byes were welcome to come by the casket. Reid, Ashley and Carly all walked up together, and all placed a white rose on top of the casket.
"You were the best little sister ever!" Reid exclaimed.
"You were so fun to dress up!" Ashley said as Carly smirked. "We love you Ally. We all do," Carly said as the three sibilings looked away.
Jeff and Marlene then went up to the casket, and as Carly was walking back to her seat, she noticed some of her WWE friends were there, including Mickie, Maria, Eve, Randy, Cody and even Ted. She smiled as she walked up to Mickie first.
"Thank you guys all for coming. It means alot," Carly told the group. She even felt herself smiling at Ted, but it was quickly wiped off her face when she noticed Kristen coming back from the car. "Listen, umm...we are going to have food and drinks and stuff at my mom's house. I hope to see you guys there. I should get back to my family," she said as she walked away.
Ted sighed as he watched her walk away, and instantly his heart broke. He grew even more confused as he watched her walk back toward Justin, who placed a kiss on the side of her head. What the hell?
Everyone soon gathered at the house, and Carly watched her mom and step-dad talk with family and friends. She then noticed Ted walk toward her, and sat next to her on the couch. "How are you holding up?" he asked.
Carly shrugged. "As good as I can I guess. Thanks alot for coming today. It really means alot that you are here."
"I wouldn't want to be anywhere else," he said as he wrapped one arm around her shoulders for a quick comforting squeeze. "Do you think we could go outside for a second? There is something I want to talk to you about."
"Sure, I guess," she said as they both headed toward the front door. As they both sat down on the chairs, Ted knew it was now or never. "Carls, why is Justin here with you?" he asked looking her in the eye.
"Ted, I don't think this is the time."
"Well, humor me. Please tell me why," he asked calmly. Carly took a deep breath before she replied. "He is here because we have decided to try and work things out."
"Work things out? Have you forgotten what he has all done to you? Carly, he almost put you in the hospital, and worst of all, your parents don't know any of the shit he has done to you."
Carly sighed as she stood up. "Well, this is my decision. At one time, I would have come to my best friend for advice, but he hasn't been acting like my best friend. So...I made this decision on my own, and if you don't like it, that's just too bad," she replied as she walked away.
Ted sighed as he leaned against the chair. He blew it...he really blew it.
