Chapter 2: Friend 1.2

We got upstairs and was about to open the door but, we hear mark still talking to Carl

"You know Carl, I think I should introduce you to my parents. What do you think?" Mark asked Carl.

"Yeah, probably. We've been friends since like what? 2nd grade? Of course, you should introduce me!" Carl replied

"What 2nd grade!? We were friends when we were in 3rd grade! Oh my god Carl, are you kidding me?" Mark yelled

"Yeah, I was kidding you. I know 100% that we've been friends since 1st-grade dummy." Carl replied

"You better be 100% sure, because if you don't....." Mark tells Carl.

"If I don't what? Huh, what!?" Carl yelled

"Nah, just kidding. It was a joke okay?" Mark reply.

And Caroline thinks that is enough eavesdropping on my son's conversation.

*Knock knock*

"Mark, can we come in?" I asked.

"Um, yeah" He answered.

We enter Mark's' room, we sat at his bed and we talked.

"Um, Mark when I brought the fries to your room, I hear you talking to someone, would you mind telling us who that was?" I ask him

"Oh, I was just about to introduce him to you guys. Mom and dad meet Carl, Carl meet dad and mom"

As soon as he finishes it looks like this Carl takes over Marks's body? To be honest I'm not even sure what going on.

"Um, hi Mr. and Mrs. Twain I'm Carl I've been friends with your son Mark for 6 years now. And it has been a rough journey of friendship, I'm always telling him to beat the shit out of his bullies but he never listen, we got into fights but, when he needed me, I'm always here and I'll be always by his side." Carl sincerely tells us.

"So, y'all can hope that Marks in a pretty damn good hands Mr. and Mrs. Twain" He added.

"Oh, okay n-nice to meet you son I-I'm grateful for my son to have a friend like you," I said while stuttering.

Both I and my wife were shocked to see what just happened.

"So, how did you meet each other?" Caroline asks to break the silence.

"Oh, we've met when were both in 3rd grade" Carl replied.

"Yeah! At first, I thought I'll never gonna have friends but it turns out I can still have friends!" Mark cheerfully tells us.

"And he's my first ever friend!" Mark added.

"I guess we've known enough if you still want some fries you can come downstairs and get some," I told Mark.

"Okay! Bye, mom and dad!" Mark yelled.

"Bye, Mr. and Mrs. Twain. Thanks for the fries it's delicious!" Carl added.

We close the door and go downstairs.

"I think we don't have to bring Mark to a doctor," I said as soon as we got in the living room.

"Why?" Caroline asks.

"Well, Carl doesn't seem to be a bad thing, and he's Mark's first friend and I never see Mark be that cheerful when we talked about Carl," I tell Caroline.

"I don't know what will happen to Mark if the doctor tells him that Carl isn't real" I added.

"Well, Carl didn't look like a bad influence, he looked like a great friend for Mark. Yeah, let's not take him to the doctor." Caroline agrees with my decision.

After Cody and the kids got home after going to the amusement park, we told them about Marks's condition. They understand the situation well so, we don't have any problem regarding Mark and Carl.

Mark's POV:

"You're the best Carl I got plenty of friends now!" I tell Carl.

"There's Shinu who is a Japanese teenage boy, by the way, we love his sushi, there is lily, Belle is her real name tho. Michael is lily's boyfriend and he is ripped. John, he's a smart guy he always at the top of the class." I added

"Well, looks like you got a plenty amount of friends in a short period, I told you just gotta be your self" Carl replied.

"They will be happy if I introduce you to them, we will all be friends, don't you think?" I ask

"No, I don't want to be friends with anyone other than you" Carl replied.

"Ohh, what a loyal friend you are" I tease Carl.

"Oh, just shut up. Let's get some fries I'm hungry" Carl's irritated reply.

I got downstairs, I got some fries with some ketchup.

I was about to go upstairs but, I hear mom and dad talking about Carl.

                                After Two Years...

"Mom, I'm sick of eating meat. Let's eat some fish please." Our youngest Carol asks us.

"Yeah, mom cant we go fishing?" Cody asks.

"Sounds like a good idea," Dad said.

"What do you think twins?" Mom asks.

"Um, yeah looks like a good idea" Christa and Christian agree to Cody's idea.

"Are you coming, Mark?" Dad asks.

"Um, no thanks, I'm gonna do something" I replied.

"Oh, okay. What do you want to eat for dinner?" Dad asks.

"Oh, nothing special. Just bring some fishes that you guys will catch." I suggested

"Sound like a good grub" Cody said.

"But, mom will there be like a big shark in the sea? Like in the movie?" Carol ask.

"Oh, the movie Jaws?" Cody asks.

"Yeah, that movie! Mom what if Jaws is in the water when we go fishing and, what if it attacks us, mom?" Carol asks while got teary-eyed.

"Obviously there will be a shark in the water Carol, did they not teach you that at school?" Christa ask.

"Oh, shut up Christa, you're making her more scared," Christian said.

"Psh" Christa whispered.

"It's fine honey, there will be no shark okay?" Mom said to teary-eyed Carol.

"Yeah, I will protect you okay?" Dad added.

"Oh, okay I trust you Dad!" Carol yells while wiping her tears.

We finished eating and they went to go buy fishing equipment and tools, and I went straight home to play and eat pizza with Carl.
