Carly is stubborn that's for sure and that part of her will never change. I was hoping she would have flipped her answer after her talk with Tyler but I guess we will seen how it all turns out shortly!
On a sidenote, I love that Tyler and her have a great friendship!

Yes, good ol' stubborn Carly :) Thank you so much for reading and reviewing! And as always, keep reading!!
okay, first of all I have to tell you: I got the update email for this chapter this morning and I was really excited. I printed the chapter off so I could bring it to work and read it (cuz I can't be on the interenet there. boo.) then as I was stuck on the freeway I realized I'd left the chapter sitting in my printer. lol...soooo...I had to wait till I got home to read this chapter! Arg!
lol...Now with that being said...omg. Sigh. Okay, poor rejected JC is too much to handle! lol...and I still haven't figured out Carly's issue (or should I say issues?? jk). Every chapter is like a roller coaster ride with these two! good grief!
What did this whole exchange mean?? :
JC closed his eyes for a second at the warm feel of her hand but quickly pulled away. "You just don't get it."
Her hand fell from his face. "Get what?"
He shook his head. "I'm not going to tell you Carly. I've always been the one with the short end of the stick. It's time you figure this one out on your own."
As much as they love each other and as "honest" as they've been with each other I don't think they've really gotten down to the bare bones yet....hmmm...or I could just be over thinking everything! lol :)
Author's Response:
You know, I've realized the "drama" with these two is driving people insane and I'll say sorry if I've caused anyone to rip their hair out... lol I just don't want this to be a "typical" story where everyone assumes how everything is going to go.
As for the exchange, it's basically the beginning of JC trying to get through to her that he's always put her needs first and has always been there for her and she's not really taken the time to think about how he feels, what he's dealing with and the weight of her rejecting his proposal. The reference to "the short end of the stick" is just him kind of sulking, thinking that Carly doesn't really want to be with him and feeling like everything is going to pan out just as it did with his ex. Sorry for the confusion and thank you so much for reading and reviewing :) I promise, their is more to come!
So of course I already knew how the first part of this chapter was going to go down.....everyone knows her not accepting the proposal just added to the drama of jc/carly that we love.
As for the second part, I know how you work and you had to throw the mush in there! I love that you had Tyler talk to Carly and that he's such a good "ally" for JC and Carly. I also love how I could picture this whole chapter and it seemed so authentically Chasez-esque. I could see his family and JC behaving like that in reality. haha. :)
I'm glad that JC and Carly got some great kissin' in at the end and they seemed to patch things up for now....
I NEED MORE! PLZ! Thanks. ;)
P.S. After all the back and forth that took place musing this chapter...it turned out very well.
