"I may have agreed to go with you to figure out if I'm your
mom and I may have even agreed to go to this stupid party
but I will never never agree to wear a dress."She made a
digusted face,"I don't do dresses."
Michael giggled,"Ok.I won't make you wear a dress."
"No one can make me wear a dress."Carly added.
Michael grinned,"Well if you won't wear the dress we can get
going."
Carly shrugged and stuck her hands in her
pockets,"Whatever."
Michael playfully pushed Carly into the hall but they both
stopped when theyheard Bobbie and Jason talking
downstairs.They peeked around the corner and Carly siganled
Michael to be quiet.Michael nodded.
Bobbie hugged Jason and pulled away,"Are you ok?"
Jason shook his head,"How can I be?The woman I loved,the
woman I thought was dead,is alive.She doesn't remember me or
her son I mean how is that ok?"
Bobbie understood completey,"Yeah and I finally got a
realastionship with her and she was suppose to be dead but
now she's back and she doesn't remember me either."
Carly had a sad look on her face and Michael whispered,"They
just miss her that's all."
Carly had a began to fall but she wiped it
away,"Yeah,well,everyone seems to be a little disappointed
that I'm not Carly.I mean say what you want I'm not.I have
none of her memories and it's making everyone upset."
"Your not here for everyone else.Your here for me."Michael
reminded her.
"Yeah,I am."
Carly went downstairs with Michael.Bobbie hugged Carly which
was very arkward and Jason simply nodded at Carly.Jason
drove,Bobbie sat in the passengers seat,and Carly sat with
Michael in the back.Carly whispered to Michael,"So,Kid I
hear you don't have a mom."Carly joked.
Michael smiled at her gesture,"Nope,I don't have a mother."
"Me neither."Carly's smile quickly faded,"Doesn't mean
people haven't tried."
Michael frowned along with Bobbie and Jason who heard her
last words,"What do you mean?"
Carly grinned,"It's long story."She replied and looked out
the car window.She rolled it down and breath in the fresh
air.
"I hope I'll hear it one day."
Carly turned back to him,"I think you will."She said and
unarkwardly for the first time hugged Michael.Michael gladly
excepted but Jason and Bobbie were still puzzled with what
she had said.
They stepped into Luke's and Carly regonized absolutely no
one.They sat down at a booth close to the entrance.Bobbie
and Jason went to confront Luke while Michael stayed with
Carly.Carly looked around in awe of the lights,setting,and
picture of a woman?Carly's eyes widen and she turned to
Michael,"Who's that?
Michael laughed,"Oh that's Helena Cassidine.Luke hung up as
a joke but won't take it down."
"Does he like Helena?"Carly asked.
Michael shook his head quickly,"Not at all.They have a
mutual digust for each other.He's just kind of sticking it
to her."Michael looked at Carly and knew there was a lot she
had to know,"Ok let's get started."Michael started to point
to people in the room,"That over there is your uncle Luke
Spencer
and his wife Laura.Right beside them is your cousin Lucky
Spencer and his wife,the former Ms.Elizabeth Webber,their
married and have there own Spencers.Now this right here is
an intresting situation in time your going to learn that
Cassidines and Spencers hate each other.But Laura gave birth
to a Cassidine so we have one in our family.That right there
is Nikolas Cassidine and Emily Quartermaine.Well,Emily is my
aunt and she's great but she's in love with Nikolas which is
very weird.Nikolas is here because of Emily and Laura."
Carly laughed,"Does Luke always look like that?"
Michael sighed,"No,he's just mad cause Cassidine's here.You
can actually see his veins pop out."Michael smiled and then
continued,"That right there is your brother,my
uncle,Lucas.He's a big brother to me he's real cool."
Carly noticed that the place was pretty empty but she looked
at Jason and Bobbie.She pointed,"Tell me about them."
Michael cleared his throat that's your mom Bobbie
Spencer.She is very nice.She takes care of me a lot
especially since I didn't have a mom around.And my dad--well
what do you want to know?"
Carly looked at Jason in admiration,"What's he like?"
Michael liked the way she looked at Jason,"Dad's nice as he
can be.He never treats me like a kid.I've always been his
equal as long as I can remember.He's loyal he never let's
his family down.Sometimes he can be over protective but he
really does care.He loves me and the other members of the
family with everything has and he would do anything for
them."Michael explained a lot but Carly wanted to know more.
"What was Carly to him?"
Michael smiled,"She was everything."
Carly turned to him,"Really?"
"Yeah,he finally realized he loved her but he was too late."
"That's horrible."
"Yeah it is."Michael agreed and then his face got pale and
he whispered,"Oh no." "What?What?!"Carly asked and followed
Michael's gaze,"Who's that?"
Jason was talking with a man and he seemed very angry.Their
conversation seemed to be getting heated.No one else uttered
a word while those two argued.Carly frowned.
"Mom,"Michael sighed,"That's the devil.He is pure evil and
he never dies."Michael told her and they got out of the
booth to walk over to Jason's side.
"What do you want,Edward?"Jason repeated for the last time.
Edward acted gentle when he saw Carly,"Why hello.Oh I am so
happy your alive dear."
Carly looked at either side of her.Michael was on one side
looking mad and Jason was doing the same on the other side
of her,"Who are you?"Carly snapped.She was begining to trust
Michael's judgement and if he didn't trust Edward or like
him then neither did she.
"I am so sorry that you don't remember anything.My name is
Edward Quartermaine."He introduced himself.
Carly looked at Jason and Michael but was so surprised to be
shaking Edward's hand,"Your Edward Quartermaine!Oh my god,I
can't believe I'm shaking your hand.I read about you in the
papers all the time."
"Well,they tend to write about the Quartermaine's a
lot."Edward laughed.
"Not the stuff that matters.Not what's true."Jason said and
told Edward one last time,"Get out."
Edward nodded.He pulled out a card from his pocket,"My
dear,call me if you ever need anything."
"Oh,thank you."Carly smiled taking his card.
Edward exited and Jason saw Carly's amazed look,"He's a
snake,Carly."
Carly looked at Jason but then at Michael,"What's wrong with
him?"
"He's evil.He's like a disease that people occasionally get
and do everything they can to get rid of it.He also
kidnapped me when I was a kid!"Michael exclaimed.
"What?!"
"Well,he had a court order but it was still kidnap!Dad's
plane crashed and the Quartermaine's took me away of course
that was until dad got back."Michael said and crossed his
arms.
"Then he's no friend of mine."Carly said and ripped up the
card.Michael smiled and the family began to talk.Carly was
sick of all the questions that she couldn't answer.They
would all bring up memories hoping maybe something would
click but nothing did.Carly excused herself for a moment and
she went into the restroom.The rest of them felt bad and sat
in silence before Michael asked,"What are we doing to her?"
Carly rubbed water on her face and wiped it off.She sighed
and pulled out a small piece of paper that had a number on
it.Carly walked outside of the bathroom and stepped over to
the phone right next to it.She quickly dialed the number and
turned her back to the crowd's talking.Michael saw that she
was calling somebody and entered the hallway.He heard
Carly's end of the conversation,"Hi!It's me.Yeah.I'm fine
one the road as usual.Don't worry I'm getting by.I wish you
wouldn't worry."Carly sighed into the phone,"I
know,ok.But--"Carly started but apparently was stopped by
whoever was
on the other end,"Ok,whatever.Are you ok?Good.And
Paige?Uh-huh.Tell her I'm fine.In fact I think I might have
struck gold.I was at the bus station and decided to go to
some town.Turn's out this might be what I've been
looking.What I've been searching for.Imagine me settling
down.But I found
what I was looking for.I know."Carly ran a halfway through
her hair,"I know you wanted me to come back but we knew that
was never going to happen.Of course I'll tell you if it
worked out.Tell Paige to stop worrying ok?I 'll call or
write soon,ok?Yeah...me too.Goodbye."Carly said and took
a second to hang up the phone.Michael felt a little sad.Who
was she talking to?Struck gold.Was she there for
money?Michael felt his heart sink and he ran out of
Luke's.Carly walked out and saw Michael run out.Jason came
up to Carly,"What happened?"
"I don't know."Carly shrugged.
They left then.The night was doing nobody any good.
Carly was wondering why Michael was so upset but he wouldn't
talk to her.When they entered the house Michael went up to
the attic which was his bedroom.It was done up pretty good
too.After Jason went to bed Carly went up to Michael's
room.Michael had climbed out of his bedroom
window.Carly paniced and ran to the window.She saw Michael
was crying into his lap.Carly's heart began to beat again
and she climed out.She sat next to him and he wiped his
tears acting like nothing was wrong,"So...is there a reason
why your mad?Did Jason do something?Did they say something
to you about me?"
Michael shook his head,"Your not here for me."
Carly sighed and nodded,"Your right.I'm not.I'm here for
myself.Is that what's bothering you?"Carly questioned him
concerned.
"So you admit it!You admit your here for money!"Michael
cried.
"Money?"Carly repeated shaking her head.
"You told somebody over the phone that you struck
gold!"Michael shouted.
Carly laughed,"Is that why your mad?"
"Your laughing now.Your laughing."Michael was so mad.
"No,Michael.The phone conversation that you heard wasn't
about money."Carly scooted closer to him and bumped him a
little,"It was about my memory."Carly pulled her knees to he
chest and wrapped her arms around her legs.
Michael calmed himself,"Then what was it about and who were
you talking too?"
Jason sat next to the open window listening to there
conversation.He didn't know until now about this
conversation and Michael began so angry.
Carly turned to him and had tears in her eyes,"I was talking
to Kevin and it was about my memory.I told I struck gold
because I met my supposed family.I mean this whole party
tonight was the gold.Trying to figure out who I am is
striking gold.That's what I ment."
"Kevin?Is he your boyfriend?"Michael felt sadden by the
thought.That would kill any chances for his dad.
"Oh god,no!"Carly giggled and Michael saw her expression
change,"I want to tell you a story.Do you want to hear it?"
"Sure."Michael grinned.
Carly wrapped an arm around him,"There once was a couple who
were spending a romantic weekend in the Bahama's and when
they were scuba diving they saw a body sinking to the body
not to mention all the blood surrounding the body.They
pulled the body out and saw that the person had
a severe blow to the head.They rushed the person to the
hospital and the person stayed in a coma for a year.The
wonderful loving couple wouldn't give up on the woman.When
doctor's told them to--how do I put this?Pull the plug they
wouldn't do it.They took the woman into there home and had
doctors and nurses visit her regularly.Anyways when the
person-woman woke up she had no memory and they had found no
idenification on her so the woman was lost and she was
stuck.The couple felt sorry for her and--"Carly sighed,"They
had lost a daughter not too long ago.Her name
was Angie and the couple wanted to try and change the girl
into their daughter.The woman of the couple wanted that and
the man of couple told her it wasn't right.So they asked the
girl when she woke up if she wanted a family who didn't want
her or a family who needed her."Carly sniffled and
her tears began to fall,"The girl thought about it and
thought.The couple had everything she could ever need
love,care,money you name they had it but the girl couldn't
help but think who am I?What was I like?How did I seem to
others?Was ever in love?Did I have a favorite movie or
book?The girl
thought about these things and knew she had to find out who
she was.And right about until,for fourteen years,she's been
looking for herself.Trying to figure out who she is."
"Your the girl?"
"Yeah,I'm the girl."
"So Kevin and Paige are the couple?"
"You listen to that whole conversation didn't you?"Carly
smiled.
"I'm just psyhic."Michael joked.
Carly hugged him with her one arm around him,"You
know,Michael,if this thing doesn't work out like we want it
too I don't if I'll be able to leave you."Carly confessed
and rested her head on his.
Michael relaxed and rested his head on Carly's shoulder,"You
won't have to."
Carly and Michael really bonded over the next couple of
weeks.Michael always thought of Carly as his mother but
Carly always thought of him as friend.She viewed Michael
much like Jason did as an equal but she still always called
him,'Kid'.Michael didn't mind to much.Jason and Bobbie
watched them grow together.Carly seemed a lot less defensive
around Michael for some reason she trusted him.She hadn't
opened up to Jason or Bobbie or anyone else just
Michael.Everything Jason knew about Carly he learned from
listening in on Carly and Michael's conversations through
the
attic window.Jason felt stupid because he did feel a twinge
of jealously towards Michael.Jason use to be the one Carly
told her deepest darkest secret to.But that was over
now.Right now Jason,Carly,and Michael were at the mall.Carly
talked them into going.Just to look around.Carly had dragged
Michael over to the womens hats.She was trying them on and
Michael would shake his head or no.Carly pulled a purple hat
off the rack.It would have matched her outfit she was
wearing a short white sweater that revealed her waist
everytime she raised her arms and a pair of faded blue
jeans.She had on a few braclets again and a small stud in
each ear.Jason thought she looked very beautiful and it was
definitely was a change from the way she looked when they
finally saw her again.Michael didn't like it though so Carly
smiled,"Oh yeah?"Carly said and put it on Michael's head
pulling it over his eyes.Jason walked over hearing
everything they were saying.Carly's laughter
made Jason feel happy.He had missed her wonderful laugh and
he didn't know if he'd ever hear it again.It had been
fourteen years since he heard that laugh.That playful happy
laugh.Michael grabbed the hat off his head and put it back
on hers.Jason loved the way she sort of glowed now that she
had
some idea of where she belonged.
"Dad?"Michael said snapping him out of his thoughts.
"Yeah?"Jason said snapping out of his thoughts.Carly and
Jason made eye contact and Carly blushed.
Michael grinned and grabbed Carly's hand,"Come on!"
Carly giggled and put her hand on her head,"What about the
hat?!"Carly said following Michael.As they ran out of the
store a clerk there called after them but Jason stopped The
woman,"Here.It's for the hat."Jason said and handed her a
bill.
The lady looked down and her eyes widen when she saw it was
a hundred dollar bill.
They all ran out to the next store.Jason caught up with
Carly and Michael,"Don't worry about the that."
Carly shook her head,"We should go back."
Jason took her hat and pulled off the tag,"It's taken cared
of."Jason said and smiled.
Carly flashed him smile,"You bought it for me?"
"Yeah,"Jason put it back on her head,"Looks good."
Carly touched the the sides,"Yeah?Really?"
"Yeah."Jason said and kissed her cheek.Carly's cheeks grew
rosey again and began to say something when Michael came up
to Carly.
"Hey,mom there's this really cool book I want you to
see."Michael said dragging her deep into the bookstore.Carly
looked back at Jason and smiled before disappearing with
Michael.Jason grinned to himself and laughed
slightly.Michael dragged Carly to a lot of places in the
mall with
him.They all had fun.Carly and Jason kept sharing sutble but
very obvious moments.Michael liked them but didn't know if
Carly was too comfortable with it.She seemed like it but
like his dad Carly sometimes realized things late.After a
few hours they all got into the car and headed home.Carly
for
once sat in the front seat with Jason.Michael went to sleep
in the back.Carly rolled down the window and closed her eyes
while breathing in the fresh air.Jason wanted to say
something but didn't know what to say.There was a full moon
out and even though it was night the moon lit the night
perfectly.It was beautiful.Jason cleared his throat,"Are you
hot?I could turn on the air
conditioner?"
Carly shook her head and continued to do what she was
doing,"I just like fresh air."
"Oh."Jason said.
Carly now felt like the idot.Jason was trying to make
conversation and she acted like he was a bother.She took off
her hat and ran her hand through her hair.Jason thought that
was one of the sexiest things about her.She would use her
hand like it was a comb and run it through her hair.Carly
stopped and saw his stare,"You should probaly watch the
road."Carly bit her lower lip as Jason nodded.Carly looked
up at the clear black sky,"You know I think the sky is so
amazing.The stars and the moon are always there but they
fade and the sun goes down.Clouds drift but the sky is
always there.Isn't that amazing?"
"I never thought about it that way."Jason replied with a
smile.
Carly looked at Jason then returned her gaze to the sky,"I
always think about that.It's incrediable if you think about
it.In fact a lot of things are."
"Like?"Jason questioned her statement.
Carly grinned,"Like...I don't know.This situation is
incrediable.This day wasincrediable.I mean I've never had so
much fun...at least not that I remember."
"Did I tell you I lost my memory?"Jason brought up suddenly.
Carly gasped,"No.How long did it take to get it back?"
Jason pulled into their driveway,"I never got it back."He
turned off the car,"I actually use to like the Quartermaines
in fact I was a Quartermaine."
"Your kidding."Carly chimed in before he could finish.
"No,I'm not.I wish I was but I'm not.I didn't like his life
so I made my own and I guess that's what your trying to do."
Carly hugged him for the first time since she had gotten
back,"Thank you for understanding,Jason."
Jason accepted her and can't remember the last time he held
someone like this.Someone he cared about.Someone he wanted
to want him.Carly pulled back and looked deeply into Jason's
eyes.They closed their eyes and both started to lean in for
a kiss.Michael's groan stopped them in their
tracks.They both got out of the car and opened the back
doors for Michael.Michael opened his eyes and got out on
Carly's side.They all entered the house and Michael could
sense something wrong but he was too tired to anyalize.He
went upstairs and Carly rushed up to her room before she and
Jason could say goodnight or anything else to each other.
Carly woke up the next morning mad at the world.She had to
stop being Carly for one day!She put on her black
slacks,black shirt,and leather jacket.She put her stuff in
her backpack which wasn't a lot-a lipgloss,her braclets,her
small earrings,her gloves the had the fingers cut off,a
picture of
Kevin and Paige,and a few outfits she had.She put the
backpack on and opened her bedroom door.She was going to
walk out but heard Michael's music playing upstairs.Carly
whispered to herself,"Dang it."She had agreed to take
Michael to school today.Carly went upstairs to see Michael
loading his books into his backpack.Carly went with Michael
to the car and started to rev the engine.As they headed to
Michael's school Carly felt the hairs on the back of her
neck rise as they did most of the time,"Geez..Michael do you
ever feel like your being watched?"
Michael looked back and saw the a following from far
behind.Michael cleared his throat,"Um...Carly I forgot to
tell you---I really don't know how to say this but dad use
to be part of the mob so they have us under servalince.Sorry
about that."
Carly pulled the car over quickly making Michael grip the
dashboard,"What?!"
"I'm sorry to have to tell you about that.They've been
watching you pretty closely since you've been back.They just
want to make sure your safe.Dad's just making sure your
ok."Michael sighed arkwardly.
"I can take care of myself."Carly stated and bit her lower
lip,"Tell you what,Michael.You help me lose the guards and
I'll take you with me."
Michael was a little hurt,"Your leaving?Why?What we do?"
"No!Michael it's only for today.I mean I have to stop acting
like I'm not myself.I am who I am and I want to act like it
so will you help me lose them?"Carly asked.
"I don't know if it's such a good idea Carly.I mean dad
might get mad."Michael warned.
"Michael,I could care less what your dad gets mad about.He
doesn't run me now you could come or not.Either way I have
to get away for the day."Carly could remember everything
about last night.
Michael sighed,"Alirght,I'll help but where are we going?"
Carly smiled,"I can't tell you."
Michael looked back and saw the car was still at a distance
behind them,"Ok,here's what you do."
After the plan was initatied Carly walked Michael to the
schools front doors.The guards watching from across the
street.Carly pretened to be saying goodbye to Michael in the
by walked him there.Michael let his eyes travel to the
guards across the street,"Now!"He said suddenly.He and Carly
made a sudden break and the guards turned back to see they
were gone.Carly and Michael ran through an alley on the side
of the school when exiting out of the opposite side Michael
looked around,"So where do you want to go?Think fast because
the guards should be close behind."Michael rushed
Carly.Carly grabbed Michael hand and pulled him while
hopping onto a near by bus that was just departing.Michael
and Carly laughed as the bus sped away and the guards looked
blankly around searching for Carly and Michael.Michael
enjoyed the pure rush of everything they were doing.Michael
couldn't remember a time that he had felt so alive and
hadn't seen the guards close by him.They had followed him
for so long he forgot what it was like to just be by himself
although he wasn't really by his self he was with
Carly.Carly pulled Michael up by his hand and smiled,"Come
on."They had rode the bus to the nearest Greyhound station
and Carly paid
for two tickets that would take them to the next town.As
they boarded the bus and sat Carly saw that Michael was
staring at her,"What?"
"How did you get money?"Michael questioned Carly.
"Believe it or not I had money when I met you and Jason for
the first time.I just didn't have a car that's why I was
hitch hiking."
"How do you know wheter to get into a car or not?"Michael
was worried about her recklessness.
Carly laughed,"You get an eye for it.You have this feeling
in your gut too.If I don't think it's safe to get in the car
I don't."
"Where is it that were going,Carly?"
"Meeting with my friends,Michael."
"Friends?"
"Yes,Michael,I do have friends."Carly grinned,"I just hope
their there today."Carly looked out at the plains they were
passing hoped Jason wouldn't get mad at Michael for what he
helped Caely do.It took a couple of hours before they
reached their destination.When they reached their
destination they hopped off the bus and Michael followed
Carly the best he could but Carly walked faster and
faster.Turning a few corners and running down some alleys
until finally reaching a secluded area that had a small
ditch like place with tons of skate boarders and different
people mingling.Carly's
smile had gotten the biggest he had ever seen it.Michael
looked around seeing a red headed woman smoking a cigeratte
and talk to a group of people the woman lit up when she saw
Carly,"Babs!!!"She exclamied.
Michael frowned and turned to Carly.Carly walked to his
side,"It's just a stupid nickname let it go."Carly leaned
over and whispered then putting a wide grin on her face she
approached the woman,"Hey Red."(The woman's nickname.)
Michael felt arkward just standing there not knowing who
these people were and how Carly knew them.Red pulled back
from the hug and smiled at Michael,"And who's this little
guy."
Carly bit her lower lip and looked back at Michael,"Oh
him.He's...Kid.I call him,Kid."
Red looked again at the little boy,"Why hello there."She
said leaning down with a grin and slid a finger across his
cheek,"Your a real cutie.I especially like the red hair
looks like we have something in common."
Michael ran his hand through his redish hair and sighed.He
hated his hair.But Bobbie told him within a few years it
would change color.It was already lightening at the
moment.That was a another thing that didn't score him too
many points with the girls iamgine a shy guy with now fading
red hair it
wasn't that great.Michael smiled anyway by her
compliment,"Thanks."
Red looked at Carly,"You haven't been to see us
lately.Something up?"
Carly shook her head,"A lot's happened but nothing really
bad.I'm fine."
Red nodded,"You want to talk to us about it?"
"Sure,Red,I'll tell you.Give me a mintue though,ok?"Carly
held her finger up and walked back to Michael.Michael stood
feeling lost.Carly knelt to him,"I'll be back ok?I am just
going to be right over there,ok?I won't be far and if
anybody offends you.Tell me."Carly instructed and began to
walk
away.
But Michael stopped her by grabbing her wrist,"No!"
Carly slightly giggled as she was pulled back,"What?"
"You can't leave me."Michael made Carly follow his
look,"There are a lot of
girls around."Michael made a nervous look.
Carly smiled,"And your scared why?"
Michael shoved his hands in his pockets,"I'm not nervous."
"Ok,then have fun."Carly got up again but Michael pulled her
back again.
"Ok!I'm nervous alright!"Michael yelled and most of the
girls looked at him.
Carly snickered at Michael and then knelt to him
again,"Why?"
"I never know what to say.I am an idot!"Michael whispered.
"I got an idea.Stay right here."Carly ordered and went away
for a moment.Michael looked around him and he blushed at the
girls looks.They looked impressed and not amused.Michael
felt like such a dork when he saw Carly walking back to him
with a beautiful brunette blue eyed girl who
was smiling at him.Michael's eye widen.The girl was wearing
a small white shirt and bright blue pants.Her hair was in a
pony-tail and her lips were a perfect pink.Michael was
stunned and taken back by her beauty.He opened his mouth but
nothing came out.The girl seemed to be equally smitten with
Michael.But this girl was not shy.Carly cleared her
throat,"Maddy this is Michael.Michael this is Maddy."Carly
introduced them gestured to them while doing it.She had a
huge grin on her face as she said softly into Michael's
ear,"Play nice."Carly bit her lower lip and walked back to
Red.When she reached Red she looked back at Michael and
smiled.Red put an arm around Carly,"So what's up,Babs?!We
all missed you!"Red gestured to a couple other girls behind
herself.
Michael saw Carly laughing and telling him to go for
it.Michael swallowed deeply,"H--i."Michael finally got out.
Maddy made a teasing smile,"Don't worry,Michael I won't
bite."She walked by him and whispered,"Unless you want me
too."She purred and walked past him.Michael's heart beat a
million times faster than it should of as he walked as he
followed Maddy to an abandoned corner.They sat and Michael
started to untense as they spoke.Carly smiled and turned to
Red.Red held out her hands,"Well?"
Carly laughed,"I'm suppose to be dead."
Red's eyes grew,"What?!"
The girls next to Red were just as curious.Carly explained
the story.They were shocked by how everything Michael and
Jason played out what Carly knew and remembered.Jason and
Michael had filled in all the holes but no one knew all the
facts.And Carly being the only one who knew didn't
remember.Red felt bad listening to this and knowing
something that would really upset Carly.Red looked down at
the ground.Carly noticed her look,"Red,what's wrong?I know
it's a weird and odd situation but it'll work out
ok...hopefully."
Red looked up at Carly and pulled something out of her back
pocket,"This came for you.Um...the person wasn't sure how to
find you so they came here and asked us to give it to you
when you got back."
Carly took the object and it turned out to be a letter.She
read it and she put a hand over her mouth and tears fell
over her hands.Red put a hand on Carly's shoulder to show
support.Carly's spirits died down more and more as her eyes
crossed each word.
Meanwhile...
Michael stared at Maddy,"That all happened to you?"Michael
sighed,"And I thought I had it bad."
Maddy nodded,"Kids usually do think they got it bad until
they hear me."Maddy said and wiped her pants as she got
up.Michael stood too.Maddy looked at Carly who had her hand
over her mouth and Maddy noticed she looked really
hurt.Maddy finally asked,"How do you know,Babs?"
Michael looked at her worried,"She's my mom."Michael took
Maddy's hand and they both felt a little nervous by it but
they walked over to Carly.Michael looked at Carly,"Are you
ok?"
Carly shook her head and clenched the letter,"When did this
come,Red?"
"A couple days ago,Babs.We can take care of the kid while
you do what you have to.If you want."Red offered.
"No.I'll take him home and then I'll take care of it."Carly
told Red.
"You might not have enough time!We don't know how serious
this is!We just know it's dangerous!"Red argued.Every turned
and saw a car pulling up.
Carly laughed pathetically,"I definitely don't need
this!"Carly shouted as the passengers stepped out of their
car.Michael looked at Carly's angry look and got scared.
