You Said You'd Never Hurt Me

Old Freinds

~Carolyn

I wake up the next morning beside Balz rather than my boyfriend. I wake him up, asking where Chris is. "Oh shit sorry Carolyn. I came in here to ask him something but he wasn't in here so I sat down trying to wake you up but I ended up falling asleep." He yawned then turned back over.

The smell of pancakes and bacon led me to the kitchen where I saw Chris making breakfast while singing to Bleeding Through.

"Morning." He says without turning around. "I'm gonna out to lunch with Daisy today." I say while setting the table. We hear struggles coming from the hallway.

I look over and see Ryan running down the hallway with Balz after him. Balz pulls Ryan back then goes in front of him, only to be tackled by Ricky. Soon after, Devin walks into the kitchen. Then you see Ryan jump out and tackle him to the ground.

"Ricky, get off me!" Balz yells. "No you're gonna eat all the bacon!"
"I'm gonna pull your lip rings."
"I'll rip your ear lobe."
"Guys there's plenty of bacon for everyone." I say, helping Ghost up.

Everyone gets up and takes their seats at the table and helping themselves to breakfast. I look over at Ryan who seems to be in deep thought. "You okay Ryan?" I ask. He must be thinking really hard cause he didn't move a muscle.

"I'm gonna ask Allie to marry me." He said. Chris chokes on his milk. "What?"
"I'm going to marry Allie Berry." He repeated standing up. We all clapped for him and mini cheered.

"When you gonna ask her bro?" Balz asks looking up at him.

"Now." he says, running out the door before anyone could stop him.

"No. Wai- he's gone. I guess we can only hope it works out." Chris says.

"Yep. Hey I'm gonna head home, I'm missing my love and my dogs." Balz says, putting his plate in the sink and gathering his things.

"Oh, would you happen to know if Ryan might have tooken off her underwear last night?" I whisper to Balz at the door.

"Oh shit, yea she did. Where are they?"
"In the clothes hamper."
"Kay, thanks." he says, slipping past me.

I think I'll go take a shower because I stink.

-after shower-

I step out of the shower and go to grab for my towel, hitting my elbow in the process. Just then, Chris walks in. He doesn't do anything, just kinda stands there staring at me.

"Well shut the damn door!" I say, wrapping myself in a towel. He takes a step in and closes the door behind him. "Get your ass out and shut the door."

"Well I can't shut the door if my ass is out and the rest of me is in."

"Christopher, get out or so help me god water won't be the only thing that's draining."

"Okay, shit I'm leaving."

I put on some pretty simple clothes. A pair of plain black jeans, Chris's Beverley Hills 666 shirt with a black bandoe under and dark red button up tied around the waist. As usual, I put on my gold heart necklace from Devin. I've worn it everyday since he gave it to me five and a half years ago. Two thousand, five hundred and fifty-five days.

My phone rings and I pick it up, expecting it to be another unknown number. Its actually one of my best friends. I press answer and put the phone on speaker while I straighten my hair.
"Hey Mitch!"
"What's up C?"
"Nothing much, just straightening my hair, getting ready for the day."
"Getting ready for the day? At 2 in the after noon? Okay, well I was wondering if you wanted to hang out today. I'm on tour and today's our day off before we head to the UK and we just happen to be in your city."
"Shit uh.. I was going to lunch with Daisy today but uhm... why don't we just all hang out today?"
"Alright, sounds like a plan."
"Awesome just meet me at the shop in about an hour."
"Okay see you then."
"Kay."

I hang up then finish this last part of hair.

~half an hour later~

Beeeeep....beeeep...beee- "Hello?" Daisy answers. Something doesn't sound right.
"Hey Daisy, is everything okay?"
"Uh..no I'll tell you when you get here."
"Okay..I'll be there in about thirty minutes. And some things changed so are you free all day?"
"Yea why?"
"Because me, you, and Mitch are gonna spend today together before he goes to the UK."
"Fuck yes okay see you soon."
"Okay bye."

I put on some shoes and grab my car keys and house keys. "Okay I'm leaving now." I announce to the remaining guys playing video games.

"Okay." They all reply at once.
"......which means you guys gotta go as well."
"Okay" They all say again, not looking away from the tv screen. I clear my throat and cross my arms.
"...Oh! You mean now." Ricky says, finally looking away from the game.
"Yes now, I'm leaving."

They all gather their things and start walking our the door. I hug Ricky, then Chris, giving him a small kiss, and higged Ghost which seemed to have lasted the longest. I lock the door, get my car started, and turn on some music.

After about 10 minutes, I pull into Mitch's driveway. As soon as I ring the doorbell I hear barking from Parker. "Back up boy, it's a friend." I hear from inside. The door opens and I'm greeted with Mitch, Kenadee clinging to his leg. I hug Mitch and smile down at his daughter.

"Hi sweetie. I'm Carolyn, your daddy's friend." She hides her face behind Mitch's leg. "Daddy, I wanna come with you."
"You'll have to ask Carolyn then, sugar."

Kenadee just looks up at me with puppy eyes. Aw. "It's fine by me if she comes. I'm sure Daisy's been dying to meet her too." I say, standing back up. "Alright, just let me go grab her booster and we'll head out."

After about 10 minutes Kenadee's buckled up and we're on our way to my sisters.
