A/N: My first Fright Night remake story and I am excited on how it's going to turn out; there isn't much Jerry/Charlie it is mainly a Charlie/Ed story just because I thought their relationship could've been better because Charlie was such an a-hole in the remake so I decided to make a whole story about their screwed up relationship and how Charlie is GOING to make it better! So all I have left to say is read and enjoy!
Warnings: Minor slash, violence, language and possible use of alcohol

Chapter One: Charlie's POV
When I shoved him I didn't know what to think anymore; what reason did I have for shoving my best friend to the ground after he was just trying to warn me?
All that I remember was him picking up his glasses and leaving. Damnit what the hell was wrong with me I felt like a total asshole and it didn't feel too good. "Ed!" I called out after him but I must've been too late; he was already gone by the time I ran down the stairs and out the front door.
"Shit!" I let another curse slip passed me in a hurry before I left the house to find myself racing after the only true friend I really had.
.
I ran until my lungs were burning and my heart pumping. Why did I do that? I knew Ed was an emotional kind of person and I just knew that hurt him to no end. I just hope that I get to him before he was gone for good. He was also the kind of person that would get hurt and high tail his ass out of town if he could and tonight would be a perfect night for that.
My thoughts were a mess and my heart was aching; Damnit why the hell am I so stupid? After running and running until I knew I couldn't anymore I realized how dark it was before I caught sight of the dark figure ahead of me; in an instant my mind went 'Ed' over and over and once I had gotten close enough I saw his face. He was riding that old skateboard down the street holding onto the straps of his back pack and that's when I showed up jogging his slow pace trying to get him to stop.
"Ed, Ed can you stop?" I reached out for his shoulder and he finally stopped turning to face me and it wasn't a pleasant look. It definitely killed the feeling inside-I could see the pain written all over his face and I knew he didn't want to say a word.
"Yeah I stopped what is it?" it looked like it almost hurt him to say that with that expression on his face. It made my heart sink further in the pit of my stomach. God Damnit why did I have to be such a douche bag? It was true though our relationship had changed and not for the better but I wanted to fix it, I needed to fix it but Ed seemed to already be out of the whole idea.
I looked at him before dropping my eyes to my feet. "I didn't mean to do that Ed," I said as concerned as I possibly could letting both of my hands drop into my pockets. No response for several minutes and it worried me. I thought about turning around but he jumped off the board holding it protected under his one arm. "Yeah they all say that come on Brewster just tell me to leave and I will," his tone of voice was strangely low and it concerned me a bit. I moved a step forward and he stood still batting his lashes. "No I don't want you to leave I am really sorry Ed I have been acting like a douche," I stared down at the tips of the red kicks on my feet kicking at tiny rocks.
Everything went silent around us and I mean completely dead silent. "Yeah you have," he returned dropping his skateboard with one foot ready resting on top.
I stared and went quiet again…Damnit! "I know it would be stupid of you to forgive me or anything but will you please say something that makes sense to me?" I didn't really understand what I was saying when those words left my lips and there was no turning back.
Ed gripped his pack straps tightly and looked down. God why did he have to look so hurt it made me feel even worse about this whole thing. "Sorry Brewster but I got to go," he gazed back up at me with a fake ass smile on his lips and he was gone again before I had a chance to say another word. Damnit Ed why don't you ever stay in one place? Not even a year ago we were so inseparable it was crazy and now we were so far apart there was nothing more to say about it, nothing more to do about it; we both were too far gone.
.
I didn't even think about getting my butt home yet even though that was probably the best thing to do at this time of night so instead I traveled the streets kicking rocks and freezing my ass off in the chilly breeze with my mind still set on one thing; Ed.
Amy was the one, the one girl that I ever wanted but then there was 'Evil' my ex-best friend that was always there. All this time I have come to realize that I have been choosing Amy over my own friend because of how fucking stupid and selfish I was and all those times I could've been there when he was getting tease, or when he was getting messed with; God I hated myself right now just thinking about it all.
We have been best friends since we were not even 5; Ed was the smart one and I was the silly one and as we gotten older he became the quiet caring one and I became the smartass preppy little boy who had the most popular girl in school on his shoulder forgetting everything I ever loved.
The thing I loved had been right in front of me this entire time and I never realized it until this moment as I stand in the middle of the street staring up at the dark sky.
"Shit!" I stomped the ground and jogged my ass forward.
