Crazy, Stupid, Love// Magcon Fan Fiction

Forty Eight

~Carmen~

"You've got to be kidding me," I muttered as I threw the Pop Crush magazine onto the floor of my childhood bedroom.

I'm currently in New York at the moment to spend Christmas with my family, and I was feeling perfectly fine until I came across an article about Jack and Jack doing a duet with Madison Beer, and then another article underneath that about Jack and Madison. I've never been worried about Madison influencing mine and Jack's relationship ever since their 'incident', but the fact that he and Jack are doing a duet with her freaks me out a little. And worst part is, he didn't even tell me about it.

"Carmen? You okay?" My mom's voice asked as she popped her head through the doorway.

"Yeah, mom, I'm fine," I said, forcing a smile.

She nodded, okay with my answer before telling me that dinner would be ready in twenty minutes and then disappearing down the hallway.

"Hey," My brother, Waller, said as he walked into my room and then sat down at my desk.
"Dude, get out," I groaned, throwing a pillow at him.

"Shut up," He scoffed, throwing it back at me. "So, why you sussing out?" He asked.

"I'm not sussing out," I said.

"Dude, you've been my sister for like sixteen years. I can tell when you're sussing out," He said with a raised eyebrow. "Is it because of your special male friend doing a duet with his ex?" He asked after a brief period of silence.

"How do you know about that?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Its all over the internet," He rolled his eyes as if I were stupid.

"Whatever," I muttered.

"What's the big deal? I mean, I get that she's his ex, but seriously, its just a song," He said.

"Waller, you don't understand," I sighed.

"Then help me understand," He urged. "As my older sister, its your job to."

"Fiiine," I groaned, and then began to tell him about the Jack and Madison incident that had occurred almost eight months ago.

"Holy shit," He gasped when I had finished telling him the story.

"Don't swear!" I scolded, throwing the pillow back at him.

"So you're just freaked that they're gonna be working together?" He confirmed.

"Yeah, basically," I nodded. "I'm not being stupid, am I?"

"Nah, totally not. Its normal," He said. "You should probably just talk to him about it and see what the deal is."

"But I don't want to sound like a jealous girlfriend," I whined.

"Fine, talk to him about it, don't talk to him. But its not gonna be my problem if you're freaking out about it the whole time," He shrugged, walking out my room.

I couldn't help but think of what my little brother had said. Should I talk to Jack about it? I mean, maybe it doesn't even matter. After all, its just a song.

But then I realised something; I'm taking relationship advice from my sixteen year old baby brother.

Hours later, I was showered and dressed into my pyjamas, getting ready to skype Jack.

"Hey, beautiful," He smiled at me when the call was connected.

"Hey," I grinned back, actually being happy to see him.

"How are you?" He asked.

"I'm good," I replied. "Miss you though."

"I miss you too, babygirl," He said, making my heart start to pound because I swear to god I'll never get used to him calling me that.

After talking for ages, we suddenly realised that it was just passed midnight and that we should probably get some sleep.
"Wait, Carmen. Are you okay?" He suddenly asked.

"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?" I asked.

"It's just that you seem kinda off," He observed.

"Babe, I'm fine," I told him, laughing a little.

"You sure?" He asked.

"Positive," I confirmed, not wanting to kill the vibe by bring up the Madison issue.

"Okay, if you say so," He said, smiling.

"I love you," I said with a lip biting smile.

"I love you too, baby," He said, and then blew me a kiss.

After saying goodbye, the call was disconnected. As I lay in bed in the dark, I couldn't help but wonder that if maybe I'm blowing this out of proportion. Who cares if he and Jack and doing a duet with Madison. He feels nothing for her. She's his past.

I have nothing to worry about.

Nothing.
