Day 5 Mystery Carly/Evie, 711 words, Rated T

There are two chapters for today, both different pairings

There were never any secrets between them, never any mystery about each other's lives. They grew up like sisters, went to the same schools, same high school. When Evie's mum died, Carly was right there for every horrible, painful night when Evie could do nothing but cry until she physically could not cry anymore.

They had sleepovers the whole time, "camping" in the garden or making pillow forts, pooling together every spare coin then shopping for midnight snacks themselves. Staying up far too late watching movies or binge watching the DVD's they had of "The Sleepover Club."

Evie had always had Zac as well as Carly, then there was Cam and then David. Evie and Carly though were always right in it together, best friends through it all. It was no surprise to anyone when Evie and Zac started dating, least of all Carly but it still gave her a weird feeling, like she shouldn't be sharing her Evie.

Carly hadn't dated anyone yet. She liked David and his curls and his sweet, kind nature but she didn't know there was something holding her back from him.

It was just a few months later those weird girls showed up and Zac started acting weird. Carly was there for Evie through it all, everytime Zac and that Lyla girl sat discussing secret things in the cafe or Zac disappeared off with Lyla. Like at that party. Evie worked so hard to throw that surprise party just to make Zac feel better and the asshole snuck off with Lyla.

He didn't deserve Evie, he was treating her like garbage right now. How Evie still clung on was beyond Carly. Still Carly did her duty as best friend and tried to cheer her up.

They threw an old school Evie and Carly sleepover. Snacks, hot chocolates, the Aquamarine movie and a couple episodes of "The Sleepover Club" on Youtube just for old times sake.

"I don't know what to do anymore Carly. He's just so different now. He's not the Zac I know."

"Honestly Evie - drop him. He's being an ass right now and it's not just to you. Him and Cam have fallen out too."

It took a couple months but Evie and Zac seemed to be back to normal. Lyla left and Zac seemed like Zac again with the exception of pretending Cam didn't exist.

Then all of a sudden Evie changed. All of a sudden Evie had secrets and was acting weird. For the first time Evie had a cloud of mystery over her. Continuously ditching Carly for those new girls.

Carly felt … heartbroken. It was the same crushing feeling when she realised David was never going to be an option. Their next Evie and Carly Sleepover even got gatecrashed by Mimmi and Ondina and Evie was acting so damn weird. It felt like she'd lost her Evie, that Evie and Carly would be no more.

Things just didn't really get better. Evie was shrouded in mystery now, always running off with those other girls and Zac. Zac who treated Evie so poorly she was reduced to tears in Carly's arms after he humiliated her in front of everyone at the party Evie threw for him. Evie was that type of person to do anything for those she loved. Didn't seem like Carly was part of that anymore.

Carly twigged what her feelings were and then spent days listening to Hayley Kiyoko on repeat. At a time it almost seemed like her and Evie were going down that route, best friends to girlfriends. They were so close and there had been so many moments she'd felt that gay panic but blamed it on something else. David was just a protection, she had to like a guy right, so she crushed hard on David to make herself seem perfectly normal.

She just wanted her Evie back before all this mystery and secrets and lying.

You wanna be friends forever? I can think of something better I'm just feeling low, feeling low

Sleeping here right next to me but will you ever mess with me? No

But at least I got you in my head, oh yeah

At least I got you in my head, in my head, sleepovers in my bed
