I couldn't help but compare Carly and Trina. One is bat shit crazy and the other supportive and protective. You write your characters so well. "Crap on a cracker", is now my new phrase. I love it. That expression can say a lot at times you need to get a point across. lol Jared has a lot of demons to face. It's obvious he doesn't want to cause problems but when love is involved, it's all or none. It's going to be interesting to watch him evolve in the story.. Great chapter!
