So this is a one-shot for Charlie and Darwin, set around the first-second books. Hope you enjoy! (Bold=Song lyrics, itallicsCharlie's thoughts)

Charlie stormed up to her room. She flopped onto her bed. It wasn't fair, Allie flaunting her relationship with him. It wasn't right. Charlie snatched up her aPod, plugged it into her sound dock, and curled up under her covers as a song started to play.

She, she ain't real

You got that for sure

She ain't gon' be able to love you like I will

I know you inside and out, Dar.

She is a stranger

You and I have history or don't you remember?

She came here yesterday, when we've known each other since before I could talk.

Sure, she's got it all but baby is that really what you want?

Like fame, talent, and the voice of an angel?

Bless your soul, you got your head in the clouds

Have you been messing with your mother's PAPs?

She made a fool out of you and, boy, she's bringing you down

You fell in love with a fake, Darwin.

She made your heart melt but you're cold to the core

Now rumour has it, she ain't got your love anymore

Not since she confessed that she was pretending to be Allie J and didn't really love you

Rumor has it

(Rumor)

Rumor has it

(Rumor)

Rumor has it

(Rumor)

Rumor has it

(Rumor)

Rumor has it

(Rumor)

Rumor has it

(Rumor)

Rumor has it

(Rumor)

Rumor has it

(Rumor)

She is half your age

But I'm guessing that's the reason that you've strayed

She looks beautiful-silky black hair emerald green eyes and all that white clothing...

I heard you been missing me

Have you? Now that your little girlfriend has confessed she didn't really love you you've come crawling back to me?

You've been telling people things you shouldn't be

Like when we creep out, she ain't around

Remember when we were together? Now I'm you're second best.

Haven't you heard the rumors?

Bless your soul, you got your head in the clouds

You made a fool out of me and, boy, I'm bringing you down

I just can't keep your love, can I, Dar?

You made my heart melt yet I'm cold to the core

But rumor has it I'm the one you're leaving her for

Too little, too late, Darwin.

Rumor has it

Rumor has it

(Rumor)

Rumor has it

(Rumor)

Rumor has it

(Rumor)

Rumor has it

(Rumor)

Rumour has it

(Rumour)

All of these words whispered in my ear

Tell a story that I cannot bear to hear

Her bragging about the texts she gets, the dates you go on...

Just 'cause I said it, it don't mean that I meant it

People say crazy things

I wanted to keep us together. Couldn't you see that? I broke up with you for a reason.

Just 'cause I said it, don't mean that I meant it

Just 'cause you heard it

But no, once the words were out of my lips you left without a glance back.

Rumor has it

But rumor has it he's the one I'm leaving you for

Sorry, Jess.
