A few days go by and Carter had not spoken to Rome once nor did Rome. After their lil fight they took did their own things, they would see each other but not acknowledge one another since bother were too stubborn to associate a conversation so they were dry on one another.
Moana had asked Carter what happened to them but Carter didn't say much about it so Mona left it alone. Craig had asked Rome the same thing but he to got no answers. After Carter had got with Tyler they had been talking since then Carter kind of started to really like Tyler. They spoke about a lot of things and they were never awkward even after they had slept together. Tyler would just come to Carter and put his arm around her and just joke around with her which made things easy.
Rome still didn't know they had slept with each other and Carter wasn't planning on telling him, if he found out he found out but Carter was put off of him after the way he acted towards her.
Mona: Hey Flynn
Rome: hey moans a lot ha
Moan: Still not gonna catch on
R: HA but I think its funny
M: okay.. SO have you spoken to Carter?
R: uh nah I haven't why?
M: I was hoping you would tell me.
R: look no reason just haven't
M: come Rome
R: wait why are you hassling me ain't she your besties
M: yes she is but she said nothing too, and I'm not hassling you.
R: look I thought she was with Ty
M: well shes not they just talk and hang out I think
R: whats the difference
M: uhh they don't have a label come one dude
R: look mona I don't know what your asking me but I got to go I have training with your Boy. ask Carter since she knows whats going on.
M: I swear yall are the same person you guys should of just go with each other that night damn.
R: what do you mean
M: huh

M: oh nothing
R: Mona
M: didn't you say you had training

M: I mean why does that matter I thought you thought they were a thing
R: right but I didn't no that slept with each other
M: Rome do you like her or?
R: got to go ill see you later.
M:Rome Rome!!
Rome walks off irritated. Mona has a feeling that he likes Carter.
M: I'm fucked
later that evening Rome drove to Carters House to talk with her she had no idea he was coming over. He knocks on the door and her dad answers.
R: uh hi sir is Carter home?
Dad: hi umm yeah my daughter is home. who might you be young man?
R: sorry I'm Rome Flynn I'm friends with your daughter we go to school together.
D: Righht well come in.
rome walks in and looks around.
R: nice house you have

Her dad yells down for Carter she comes running down and sees Rome standing next to her dad.
C: uhhhh HIII
R: hi
d: ill leave yall to it then.
R: Thank you sir.
D: sir? nice manners. Carter
c: bye Dad
her dad leave and they watch him walk off. Carter turns and looks at Rome
C: WHAT are you doing?
R: did you sleep with Tyler?
C: what?
R: come on Carter did you sleep with Tyler?
C: who told I'm gonna kill her.
R: damn so you did
C: So what if I did? Do I have to run it by you?
R: no you don't
C: then what's the problem if I did?
R: look. You can do what you want that's up to you
C: then why are you here?
R: cause Carter you slept with the homie
C: so?
R: your so blind
C: Rome what is your deal you got mad at me at the party and then you iced me out now your here and you getting mad at me again.
R: you really don't see It do you.
C: no I have no clue what your going on about.
R: when a guy cares or likes something they get mad and territorial
C: your point?
R: CARTER I LIKE YOU. DONT YOU SEE IT.
Carter just stares at him in disbelief.
R: I've like you for a while now but you don't see the signs.
C: Rome don't.
R: I tried to flirt with you and you didn't see that I told you. You would make a good girlfriend when you were cleaning my up my cut. I kissed you and stuck up for you when your old bully said we didn't make sense Carter those were all the signs and you didn't see them.
C: look rome I'm sorry if I didn't see them but i thought you did and said those things cause you were just being nice to me.
R: I was but at the same time I meant them.
C: and plus you never spoke to me before you knocked my drink on me, so what did you expect
R: I don't know Carter. But I didn't expect you to just sleep with the guy just like that. You put this wall up on me while I was trying to get to know you and then you just sleep with a dude you get to know in one knight.
C: because we don't make sense ok! People don't see guys like you with girls like me
R: what does that mean??
C: it means we aren't meant to be.
R: just tell me Carter did I ever have a shot with you?
C: Rome please
R: no I want to know.
C: ok I did start to like you but then all these thoughts came in my head and then when you got mad at me at the party I got upset I thought I did something and you ignored by putting your arm around that girl.
R: so you slept wit Ty to get at me?
C: NO I was upset and I didn't knw what I did to you and then Tyler knew I wasn't going to sleep with him and he was fine with that and then we were just talking and I'd never done it before and he was nice to me and then it happened ok.
R: soo you lost your virginity to him
C: that's all you heard.
R: no I heard you but just cause he was nice.
C: no cause we got along and why am I telling you this.
R: cause Carter ive been trying to get to know you but you kept pushing me away. Why?
C: cause
R: that's not gonna cut it.
C: cause I like you to but
R: then why didn't you just let me in?
C: Because Rome your too good for me and you need a girl who lives the same life style as you and who is out there and I'm not those things.
R: there you go assuming things.
C: its true you never knew who I was before so what changed that.
R: Carter I like you cause you didn't just get with me cause of my status or looks or body. you are cool to talk to and you say things without thinking and you tell it how it is. when we did start to hang out I did question myself why I never noticed you before and I wish I did talk to before all of that and before you knew about me and other girls. You should never think a guy is too good for you. Just know that I like you ok and if you like me then
C: its too late
Rome looks at her confused. carter had glassy eyes and looked down to cover them.
C: Tyler asked me out and I said
R: yes.
C: maybe its better this way
Rome looks pissed and hurt but he doesn't say anything so both of them are quiet for a few seconds.
R: if your happy then maybe it is better this way.
C: we can still hang
R:no we cant carter.
C: Don't say that.
R: why would I do that to myself.
C: do what?
R: watch the girl I like be with another guy and act like I'm cool with it.
Carter gets upset and gets teary but hold it in.
R: whats the difference between me and tyler.
C: I knew him before and I'm finding things out about him I never knew and we get along
R: and we don't.
C:we do but
R: I'm too good for you. right?
C: rome please don't be like this.
R:well I am like this Carter cause I really was trying. This is what I get for not going after you after our fight that night. but if he makes you happy I get it.
carter looks away from him she wants to cry but she cant.
R: I better go then.
C: do you.
R: I should go.
C: you can stay and hang
R: carter
C: I don't know what to do.
R: you don't have to do anything.
C: I don't want us to be like before.
R: trust me I don't want to either but right now I wish we were.
C: I'm sorry Rome.
R: don't be. I was too late.
rome leave and carter watched him leave. she tears up and goes to her room. she isn't sure she did the right thing for herself and for rome.
