"I'm here!" I shouted as I entered the garage.

Looking around the room, I didn't see anyone. That's weird, where the hell did they go?

"Hello?"

I walked further into the garage, and felt like someone was here, but there probably wasn't. At least I hadn't seen anyone.

"Boo!"

I jumped, letting out a small shriek, my heart racing. I turned around to see Carrie, laughing her ass off.

"I like, totally got you!"

I frowned at the blue-haired girl in front of me.

"That wasn't cool Carrie."

She calmed herself down, putting an arm around my shoulder. My heart started up again, only this time it wasn't because I was scarred.

"Lighten up Lens, it was just a joke."

"Still, it wasn't nice."

She rolled her eyes.

"You can be such a dork sometimes Lenny."

The there was a loud ringing noise, and Carrie pulled her phone out from her pocket, glancing at the screen.

"I gotta take this," she said, walking out.

I watched as she left, until she was completely out of sight, then sighed. Why does she have to be so cute? I wish I could just tell her how I feel. Maybe she'd even like me back. No, that was silly. She couldn't like me back, she already has a boyfriend. He's got to be the luckiest guy ever.

I heard footsteps, and knew Carrie was coming back. I looked up at the door, smiling as I waited for her to re-enter. She ran in moments later, only I didn't see the smiling Carrie I was expecting. Her face was stained with tears, and she threw her phone on the ground. She ran right past me and up the stairs, bawling her eyes out. Shit, this can't be good. Carrie hardly ever cries.

I picked up her phone and headed upstairs, deciding to go see what was wrong with her. Kim and Konnie were in the kitchen, eating some ice cream.

"Oh, hey Lenny. When did you get here?" Konnie asked.

"Like ten minutes ago I guess. I was down in the garage, Carrie was on the phone and then she just ran up here, bawling her eyes out. Do you know what happened?"

The twins shrugged.

"We have no idea. She ran right past us and to her room. We tried to get her to come out and talk to us, but she wont."

"I'll go see if I can get her out," I said, exiting the room.

"Good luck, you're gonna need it."

I went up to Carrie's door, and knocked lightly.

"Carrie? It's me, Lenny. Are you okay?"

There was no answer.

"Carrie?" I tried once again.

"Go away!"

"Come on Care, let me in."

"No!"

I let out a frustrated sigh. This wasn't going to be easy.

"Please? I just wanna talk."

"No. Leave me alone."

"Come on, I care about you Carrie, you're my best friend. You know you can tell me anything."

There was more silence, and I thought she wasn't going to answer. Then, the door opened slowly, revealing a distraught looking Carrie. She pulled me in, closing the door behind us, then she collapsed into my chest. She was still crying, and I awkwardly wrapped my arms around her, rubbing circles into her back in attempt to calm her.

"What happened Care, tell me."

She shook her head, continuing to sob into my shirt.

"Please tell me, I don't like it when you're upset."

She lifted her head to look at me, her eyes looking red. Somehow we wound up sitting on her bed.

I wiped some tears off of her face.

"T-Ti-m-m br-r-ok-e u-p wi-i-th-h m-me," she said.

I had no idea what she just said.

"What? I can't understand you, you have to calm down."

She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself.

"T-Tim broke u-up with m-me."

She was still a little shaky, but I understood her this time.

"Aww, Carrie. It's okay." I said, pulling her into a tight hug. "You don't need him. You'll find someone better, I promise."

She sniffled a little, staring up at me.

"R-really?"

"Yes, you can do so much better than that asshole."

She smiled a little, leaning into me as she wrapped her arms around me.

"Thanks Lens, you're the best."

I smiled, pulling her closer.

"No problem Care, that's what friends are for."
