De Santa Residence, 1:15am
'She's got to answer her phone eventually.' Amanda says after calling Carly again with no answer. The woman downs the rest of the wine in her glass before pouring some more.
'It's not that i wish i never had children...i just wish that i had different ones.' She says before drinking the wine, trying to convince herself that Carly will stop giving her the cold shoulder.
Denial's a powerful thing, even more powerful than wine and valium combined.
Meanwhile (Carly's p.o.v)
'It's almost like i'm back in North Yankton.' I say as Johnny and i sit down on the bed.
'Strangers would come up to your house and ask your dad where some little girl was hiding out at, darling?' He says before i playfully swat at him, hitting his shoulder.
'Ow! That kind of hurt, little lady.' He says before wrapping his arms around my shoulders as i rest my head against his torso.
'My life was never normal but my family and i were always close to eachother before moving to LS. Paradise has a way of bringing out a dark side in every one of us, Johnny.' I say, my voice serious.
Too serious for someone my age.
