As soon as Charlie suggests we walk to the bonfire I agree. I quickly walk ahead, not wanting to be stuck walking with Aiden as I usually ended up being. I think Aiden notices by the frown on his face but the only other person who seems to notice something is Carter who quickly catches up to me.
I smile at him, I wasn't upset at him.
"You okay Em?" Carter asks smiling softly at me.
"Yeah," I smile hesitantly back.
"Is this about what Aiden asked in never have I ever?" Carter asks observantly.
I look at him surprised, "I didn't know you were observant, I thought that was Aidens job," I reply jokingly.
Carter laughs back, "when you're quiet you hear and see a lot more."
"So deep," I joke.
Carter laughs again; "Aiden is the most observant but I think I'd be a pretty close second," he grins.
I laugh at him, my mood lifting at his kindness.
"But seriously, Aiden shouldn't have said what he did," Carter says seriously.
"I just feel bad for Justin," I admit, not denying Carter's words because, at the end of the day, they were right.
"That's got to be rough," Carter responds almost subconsciously.
"What has?" I ask.
"Seeing your ex here, and then finding out he is still in love with you," Carter replies gently.
"I think I already knew but hearing him say it hits different," I sigh.
"I'm sure it would, what are you going to do about it?" Carter asks softly.
"I have no idea," I admit.
"I know you don't want to hear this but I think you need to talk to him about it Em," Carter says hesitantly, obviously not comfortable with giving people advice.
"You're definitely right but I can't say I'm not dreading the conversation, I like it the way it is," I agree sadly. Carter smiles softly at me in reply as we arrive at the bonfire and Charlie drags me away.
"Where are we going?" I laugh at my cousin.
"To see Amy and James, I think you guys should chat," Charlie smirks.
"Charlie," I laugh in protest.
"Promise me something Em?" Charlie grins, ignoring my pleas.
"What?" I ask.
"Flirt back. Have a 4-day romance, hook up with the guy and then you never have to see him again," Charlie grins.
I laugh at her; "that's not really my style Charlie."
