3 Brothers, 3 Friends, 1 Love: Chapter 23

Carson's POV

FINALLY! We've just arrived in Michigan after driving through the night. It's 6am and we checked into a hotel for the duration of our stay. I got my own room of course, I wouldn't be caught dead sharing with the prentals. My parents decided to go sleep after the long trip but, I slept most of the way here so, I'm going to explore. I plugged my Ipod into my ears, and blasted whatever random song happened to come from my playlist. The particular song happened to be Just Friends by none other than the Jonas Brothers. My pace increased as I listened to the heartfelt lyrics. Such an upbeat song with such a depressing message. I couldn't lie to myself. I knew Joe was feeling exactly this way, the way the song makes you feel when you listen. I had caused him to feel this way and I regretted my decision. I knew deep down that Trey wasn't the guy for me. I knew that for sure. I think he was my distraction. I'm not saying Joe is the guy for me, but he has a better chance than Trey ever will.

I continued pounding down the street, recognising all the familiar places that I hadn't seen for 2 years. I had changed so much since I moved to California. My style was different. My attitude was way different. I missed my old self. I was so peppy, just like Riley. And my clothes were alot....brighter. I was more approachable and life way alot less confusing. I stopped outside the multiplex cinema. I used to spend every friday night here with Jason. How times had changed. Now on a friday night I would sneak out late and get drunk with my potential boyfriend. I shook away the feelings from my past and walked down Denver Avenue. This was my old street. I continued for 5 more minutes and then sat down on the stone curb. I was opposite my old house. The once familiar glowing green door was now painted a bold brown. The garden that was filled with dying roses and sunflowers also had, a baseball mitten and a small kids bike strewn across the grass. I sighed and climbed to my feet. Places change, just like people. I walked back to main street and went inside my favourite cafe' Aunt Marie's. I had a hoodie shielding my face trying, not to be noticed. The place was busy - as always - I guess some things never change. It was about 7am, and all the kids, who weren't in summer school, were digging into freshly baked pancakes covered in lashings of caramel syrup. I sat on a table in the far corner and glanced at the menu. It hadn't changed abit. I ordered my usual - blueberry pancakes with a cappacino - and waited patiently for my breakfast. My food had just arrived and I smiled upwards to thank my waitress when I suddenly recognised her face.

"Brooke?" I asked, not sure if this was the same girl.
"Yeah. And you?" she asked.
"Car...Carson." I stammered.

Her eyes lit up. Obviously she hadn't recognised me. She squealed and jumped into the seat opposite me.

"What are you doing here?" she asked eagerly.
"Family vacation."
"You've changed."
"And you...haven't." I laughed.

Brooke Thompson was the same girl I had known two years ago. She had her shiny blonde hair pulled back into a quiff, and her pink clothes cut short around her legs. Her bubblegum popping as she talked. She always looked super girly and I myself, would have looked very similar to her. 2 years ago. Now I was dressed in a pair of eye catching red skinnies, yellow converse and a blue hoodie. I looked far from the old Carson Davis.

"It's been so long." she gushed.
"We should catch up. Tonight."
"Yeah. I'm sure everybody else wants to meet you." she said excitedly. "I have to get back to work now."
"Multiplex at 8pm?" I asked.
"You know it." she said before going back to work.

I finished my pancakes and instantly felt better about this trip. I would see all my old friends and hopefully they wouldn't hate me. I never told anybody I was leaving that night.

*Flashback*

"Carson! Let me in baby, please."

Jason was outside my house yelling to see me. The night before he had ruined his chances with me by, getting drunk, and then trying to rape me. I refused to see him and sat in my living room listening to his shouting. I was the old Carson then. I was weak. I was scared. Eventually he left and I decided something had to be done. When my parents got home I made up some rambled lie about being bullied at school. They said it was an inapropriate environment for learning, and so we moved, to California. We packed that day, then sneaked away in the night. Without telling a soul.

*End Flashback*

Now I was back in my hometown which, I had grown up in until the tender age of 15. All my old friends were in this town and I wondered weather seeing them would be a good or bad idea. I suppose I would find out later tonight. I paid my bill and flashed Brooke a smile before, heading back to the hotel.
