The drive back into the city was quiet, with Carly trying to figure out what to say and Johnny wondering if he should tell her why his and Ashley's relationship is the way that it is. Now right now but she's going to ask me eventually, he thought as he glances at her, knowing that when she was quiet that she had something on her mind and it was probably a way to take Ivory Smith down after what happened.
They had pulled up into the driveway at the same time that Michael had opened the door and rushed to the van as Carly got out of it, both of them hugging eachother. 'You both have some explaining to do. Lets talk inside the house.' Michael says as Johnny gets out of the van.
They walk into the house and Carly looks around to make sure that it's just them. All she could hear was Jimmy's video game but he wasn't shouting at anyone.
He probably didn't notice that she was gone for most of the day.
'We weren't trying to scare anyone but when we were heading back into the city earlier, someone ran us off of the road.' Carly says before pulling the hem of her shirt up and showing Michael the stitches. 'It looks worse than it is, daddy.' She says before they sit down.
'I've had some bad injuries Carly but that's worse than just a little cut.' Michael says. 'I'm ok. I'm tough like you are dad. I can handle myself.' Carly says as Amanda walks in and they look at eachother. This wasn't going to end well but they knew that they have to try and talk to eachother.
'If you were ok, you wouldn't have any injuries like that.' Amanda says. So much for a rational discussion between mother and daughter! Carly stands up, ready to let a week's worth of rage out on Amanda but Johnny grabbed her before she could do anything crazy!
'Oh, so now you care?! You said that i was a mistake, that i'm too much like dad and nothing like you!' Carly says before the pain overwhelms her as the stitches dig into her skin, Johnny helping her sit back down as Amanda leaves and Michael goes to get some ice. 'Everything's going to be ok, baby girl.' Michael says after walking back to Carly and putting the ice pack on her injury to try to comfort her, both of them fighting their tears.
He didn't care how Amanda was feeling right now!
He wouldn't be anything like his father!
His kids deserve better than that!
