Okay but is it just me who thinks there's so much more to Carrie than we've been shown so far? She's just not the usual asshole popular girl.

Like in episode 3 when Nick said "You two used to be friends" and Carrie replies with a huge amount of salt like she's hurt that he would even remind her of that. Like something happened between Julie and Carrie that hurt Carrie so much she became cold and distant. Cause if you listen to the way Julie talks about the time when they were friends, you wouldn't believe she was talking about Carrie since the way she's shown from the outside is nothing like what Julie knew.

It's almost like Julie did something that she didn't realise hurt Carrie as much as it did, and Julie just thought Carrie became too cool to be friends with her. But also seems like she hasn't actually told anyone about it. The way Nick acts about it is the same way Julie acts about it. Like they think she's just a stuck up asshole. I think she's just really hurt and is trying to frame off her feelings from not only the world but herself.

I mean, something must have happened for their friendship to turn that sour, right?

Okay, I've just finished jatp for the 4th time in about two weeks... anyway, I realised something at the end of episode 9. This might just be me being the sap that I am, but the way Alex so instinctively grabs a hold of Luke's hand at the end of the Stand Tall performance is making me question everything. Like, I get that Reggie and Luke didn't grab onto Julie cause they couldn't, but it's just something in the way Alex grabbed Luke's hand that speaks differently than it usually does. It kinda reminds me of that scene from like the last episode of season 6 of teen wolf where Mason grabs Corey's hand when they're in the hospital

(I couldn't find a gif of the moment I was talking about but it's right after this lmao)

Anyway

That's all I had to say. Idk what I was trying to prove but to me it makes sense that Alex and Luke are exes. Just the way they act around and talk to each other differs from the way they act around and talk to Reggie. It's like their friendship and bond is made up of a different kind of string, if that makes sense

I wrote a song for Carrie for my fic Friends on the Other Side (it’s in ao3 my username is Cuddly Starfish btw fifth chapter is up) and it’s like past midnight but I’m calling it Better. Imagine Carrie singing a ballad like song to Julie to apologize for what happened between them (which I have had in the fic as her stealing one of Julies songs when they were younger because we love to see Julie parallel her boys) and she’s playing an acoustic guitar

Better (Carrie Wilson):

I knew you were better but I had to be best

I held myself proudly and stuck out my chest

I know that I hurt you, please know I’m aware

And I’m sorry

I know that I hurt you

I know I was wrong

I know that you moved on;

I watched you stay strong

I know that I hurt you

So I’m singing this song

To try and tell you that

I know that I hurt you but I’m trying my best

I’ll try to be better, to pass all the tests

And I’ll say this prayer

To show you I care

I can’t ask for forgiveness

but just know that I’m there

Until you can hug me and see me and love me and know me and trust me again

I know that I hurt you

I know you’ll need time

I know that I messed up

The song wasn’t mine

And I’m probably too late

But at least the words rhyme

Or I tried to

I knew better

I’ll do better

I’ll be better

If you’ll let me try

Watch for this in future chapters of Friends on the Other Side 👀👀
