At least, that was his plan. Until Marie grabbed his hand.
"Done with fighting for me." he said quietly. He didn't dare look at her. "That's how she worded it..." Like he was a terrible struggle... and a waste of time.
The words, even coming from his own mouth, still stung. And the words 'I still love you' haunted his thoughts. He looked at Marie pleadingly. She needed to do something - insult him, tell him she was right - anything really. Anything to make those words stop repeating in his head.
Marie just stared at Carter for a moment when he said Caroline was done with fighting for him. What the hell was that girl talking about? She NEVER had to fight for him. If she wanted to know what it was like to fight for Carter then Marie could tell her first hand.
She had fought for Carter for nearly a year and
still lost out in the end. Well more like he had lost out since she eventually stopped chasing after him and went on with her life. Still, Marie KNEW what it was like to fight for the one you loved (or thought you loved) only for them to continue to ignore you the whole time you were trying to win them back.
Seeing the look on his face only angered Marie. She had WARNED him about Caroline. TOLD him that she was going to end up hurting him, but would he listen to her? NO! Now here he stood all heartbroken over someone that never really cared about him.
"You know, I'd almost like to feel sorry for you Carter but I just can't. I tried warning you that something like this was going to happen but you wouldn't listen to me." What was it with boys not listening to her. She knew what she was talking about. They really needed to start trusting her on things.
"Maybe I should teach the little wench what it's like to really fight for someone. To really show someone that you care about them, only to get ignored." Sure, it was something that happened a long time ago, and Marie had moved on with her life and was happily in love with Matty now, but still, she DID fight for Carter back in fourth year, only to be ignored.
What she really wanted to say to him right now was
'It doesn't feel so great getting dumped like that does it.' But she didn't. She had said enough... for now.
