A/N: This story is with the actors from the 2011 remake of Fright Night as the characters, not with the 1985 movie actors as the characters…..
Theme Song: "Fright Night 2011 Theme Song"
Jerry grabbed Charley by the throat and held him high and squeezed his neck tight, while Charley fought HARD to get Jerry's hands from around his neck.
Jerry: Charley. (smiles) I'm going to give you something I don't have, a choice. Forget about me Charley, forget about me and well—(stops and shrugs while smiling) I'll forget about you.
Charley thought, he knew he couldn't beat Jerry, Jerry was too strong. Charley looked at Amy and his mother lying on the ground by the car and winced in pain and nodded slightly. Jerry laughed and dropped Charley to the ground and laughed.
Jerry: (smiles) Great, I'm glad we have an understanding Charley. See? I'm an easy going understanding guy. Have a nice night. (smiles and winks)
Jerry walks away, whistling a tune that sounds eerie, yet gothic.

Charley: {voice over} That was three months ago, since then Jerry and I had a kind of understanding, he left me and my family and my friends alone and I kept the secret that he was a vampire. So he, my mom and Amy and I had kind of a truce together. However, things had changed. My mom, Jane, was dating a new guy and I didn't like this guy at all. This guy was younger than my mom and was abusive—physically, verbally and emotionally. One day things went to a head in the Brewster home, The guy my mom was seeing—Brad punched Jane in the mouth, knocking her to the floor of the kitchen.
Brad: Don't you EVER talk to me like that again, you bitch!
Charley: (pushes Brad hard, almost knocking him to the floor) Don't you ever hit her again!
Brad looks at Charley with anger.
Brad: (smiles) Oh yeah? And what the hell are you going to do about it, huh?
Jane: (between tears) Brad please! Don't hurt him!
Brad punches Charley in the mouth, knocking him almost to the floor.
Jane: (through tears) Brad no!
Charley wipes blood from his mouth and storms out the house.
Brad: Yeah get out asshole!
Charley starts pacing up and down the sidewalk in night time, in anger. He felt like crying, but not tears of sadness, tears of rage. He didn't know Jerry was watching him from his house. Jerry still had to keep an eye on him, to make sure Charley didn't tell his secret. Charley stopped in his tracks as tears streamed from his eyes. He had an idea. He went up to Jerry's house and knocked on the door, hard and twice. Jerry opened the door and sighed with frustration at seeing Charley.
Jerry: (briefly smirked and said coldly) Charley, what are you doing here?
Charley looked up at Jerry with light tearful eyes.
Charley: I need your help—please.
Jerry looked at Charley with an eyebrow raised.
Jerry: You what? (scoffs and looks up and down the street and smirks) No. Good night Charley.
Jerry tries to close the door but Charley puts his foot in between the door and the entrance, blocking the door from closing.
Charley: Jerry PLEASE. I—I wouldn't have came to you, if I didn't feel I needed absolute help.
Jerry: (coldly) No Charley. I don't do favors, now move your foot from the door or I'll move it for you.
Charley: Fine, then I'll tell everyone you're a vampire. You wouldn't want that, would you Jerry?
Jerry looked at Charley with coldness and rage.
Jerry: What if I just kill you before you get a chance to?
Charley: What if I do it before you get a chance?
Jerry stared at Charley and then looked away and laughed.
Jerry: You've got guts, guy. I like that. Come in, let's talk.
Jerry moved aside so Charley could come inside. Charley walked inside and Jerry and Charley went and sat in chairs in the kitchen. Jerry opened a beer sitting on the counter and started guzzling.
Jerry: So what's going on, guy?
Charley swallowed hard and began telling the entire story and:
~ Three Minutes later~
Charley: And so that's what's going on. (looks at Jerry with light tears in his eyes) So please, you have to help me. I want you to get rid of him for me, for my mom. He's going to kill us if you don't. I'll pay you.
Jerry stared at Charley, with his jet black eyes.
Jerry: (looks down and nods with a smirk) I told you, I told you Charley, there are a lot of bad people out there, guy.
Jerry sighs with an amused smile.
Charley: So will you help me?
Jerry: (nods and smiles devilishly) Sure why not, I could use—extra blood.
Charley: Tonight?
Jerry looked up at Charley with a curious smirk.
Jerry: Tonight? Oh no, Charley I have company—feeding time, a irresistible scent of feeding is tonight, so, no.
Charley: Jerry PLEASE! (sighs and frowns as he wipes streaming tears away) You know what, fine. I guess you aren't as bad as you think you are. Maybe you don't want to because you're just a COWARD.
Charley gets up and walks to the door of the house and Jerry laughs amusingly.
Jerry: Charley, sit your ass back down, I'll do it, but only because I'm amused at you calling me a coward, but if you do it again, I'll snap your neck into half. You understand me? I'm no coward. I'll slice Amy's throat and let you watch while I drink her dry and then slaughter you next. I'm NO coward.
Charley turned and looked at him and nodded silently but with a angry look.
Jerry: (smiles) Good, I'll be over in five, now get out—NOW.
Charley: (nodded with a look of relief) Thank you Jerry.
Charley walked out the house, and Jerry scoffed and smiled and shook his head.

Theme Song: "No One Believes Me" ~ Kid Cudi
Jerry walked over to Charley's house and knocked on the door and Charley answered the door.
Charley: Thanks Jerry.
Jerry: (shrugs and smirks) I can't come in, Charley until you invite me, remember?
Charley: (scoffs and briefly smiles) Oh right, come in Jerry.
Jerry smiled briefly and walked in the house, past Charley. Jerry saw Jane and smiled. Brad was standing next to Jane. Brad looked at Jerry with coldness.
Jane: Oh Jerry (smiles) hi, what brings you over?
Jerry: (shrugs and nods with a smile) Charley here invited me over for dinner.
Jane's smile faded and she looked at Jerry with horror. Jerry laughed briefly.
Jerry: Relax, Jane, actual dinner food, not bloo—(Brad cuts in)
Brad: (coldly) Well you can't stay, we don't have guests without my permission.
Jerry looked at Brad and dropped his smile and looked coldly at Brad.
Jerry: Well I just invited myself—without your permission. Besides, Charley invited me in, so now I can come by pretty much—whenever. (shrugs and winks and smiles devilishly at Brad)
Brad looks angrily at Jerry while Jerry eyeballs Brad right back. Charley silently tries to hide his smile at Jerry's comment. He was actually relieved to have Jerry on his side for once.
Jane: (looks at Brad) Brad, can he stay? Please?
Charley: Yeah, please?
Brad: (coldly) FINE, I'll deal with you Jane and Charley later on the rules of this house.
Brad storms out the kitchen and Jerry smiles amusingly.
Jerry: (laughs) Oh this is going to be REAL fun tonight. (laughs again)
~Later~
As they all sat around Jane's table for dinner, Brad was telling his story from work and Jerry was looking down at his plate of food with disgust. He hadn't eaten a real meal in years, so how was supposed to eat that? All he was used to was blood drinking. He took his fork and took a small bite of steak and forced himself to chew it. It tasted like shit to him, since he hadn't eaten real food in ages.
Brad: So then I was telling the boss that I wanted tomorrow off and he gave it to me. (laughs)
Jane: I'm so glad Brad. I missed you at home.
Charley: Mom are you still going to my basketball game tomorrow?
Brad: (coldly) No, she's staying home with me tomorrow.
Charley looked at Brad with a disappointed look.
Jane: (glanced at Brad) Brad, I did want to go, because I—(Brad cuts in)
Brad: (coldly) No and that's final! Some stupid basketball game! He can't even play!
Jerry smiled at Brad and sat back in his chair and laughed.
Brad looked at Jerry with anger.
Brad: And just what the hell are you laughing at?
Jerry: (smiles) You, you pompous ass jerk. (shrugs and smiles)
Charley looked at Jerry and smiled briefly. Jane looked at Jerry with shock and Brad looked at Jerry with anger.
Brad: (coldly) Excuse me? Who the hell are you talking to like that!
Jerry laughs and sits up in the chair and shakes his head. Jerry then stands up and flips the table over, knocking everything to the floor and Jane gasps and yells loudly. Jerry walks over to Brad and grabs him by the neck and picks him up in the air. Brad begins fighting violently to break free from Jerry's grasp and Brad starts gagging loudly, he tries to talk but can't. Charley watches with a humorous smile. Jerry throws Brad on the kitchen counter and holds him on the counter as Brad tries to fight to get Jerry off him. Jane walks to Jerry and breaks into severe tears and looks at Jerry.
Jane: (between tears) Please Jerry! Don'!
Jerry: (looks at Jane and smiles) Too late for don't.
Jerry's fangs instantly appear and Jerry takes a huge bite into Brad's neck HARD as blood squirts everywhere and Brad yells out loudly in pain. Jane yells out loudly and tries to get Jerry off Brad, but Charley grabs Jane and pulls her away from him.
Jane: (through tears) No! Let me go, he's killing him!
Charley: So what, Mom! He's an asshole!
Jerry releases his fangs from Brad's neck and sighs with enjoyment as he wipes the blood from his mouth. Jerry grabs an unconscious Brad by the hair and drags him off the kitchen counter. Jerry shoots a amused smile at Charley.
Charley: Jerry, I—(Jerry cuts in)
Jerry: Hold the thank you, I'm going to drop him off next door, I'll be back.
Jane steps in front of Jerry and looks at Jerry with rage.
Jane slaps Jerry, but the slap doesn't even affect Jerry at all. Jerry smiles with amusement.
Jane: (between tears) How could you come IN my house and do this! You said you would forget about hurting me and my family!
Jerry: Jane, your boyfriend here was an abusing bastard. You should be thanking me, no (sighs and looks back at Charley and smiles and winks at him) better yet, thank Charley. He saved your life. (looks at Jane and smirks) You can thank me later. (looks back at Charley) You can thank me tomorrow Charley.
Jerry drags Brad out of the house and shuts the door to the house behind him. Jane looked at Charley with tearful eyes of anger.
Jane: (between tears) What did you do! What did you tell him to do! What—(Charley cuts in)
Charley: Mom, I told him to get rid of the man that was hurting you! He—(stops and talks in between tears) He was hurting you mom!
Charley looked away and broke into tears and Jane quickly hugged Charley and broke into more tears herself. …..
~ The Next Day ~
Theme Song: "Fright Night 1985 Theme Song: "Come to Me: Instrumental"
It was about eight in the morning when Charley was about to go to school on that Friday. As he was leaving out, he stopped, and sighed. He went and knocked on Jerry's door and within about four minutes, Jerry opened the door yawning and looking like he was interrupted from sleep. Jerry stood back from the door, so the light would get him.
Jerry: (low still sleepy voice) Charley, its eight in the morning, what do you want?
Charley: Can—can I come in for a moment, please?
Jerry: (looked up at the ceiling and rolled his eyes and sighed) Charley, no, its too—(Charley cut in)
Charley: Please Jerry. Its important.
Jerry scoffed and sighed angrily and moved aside for Charley to walk in and Charley walked in and looked at Jerry with seriousness as Jerry closed the door to the house and turned to look at Charley.
Jerry: So, what's up guy?
Charley looked down and the floor and then looked up at Jerry and frowned, and immediately walked over to Jerry and hugged him tightly. Jerry looked at Charley and was absolutely taken aback by the hug. Jerry scoffed and very lightly hugged Charley back and Charley then backed away.
Jerry: Charley, what the hell was that? (scoffs and briefly smiles)
Charley: (looks at Jerry with light tears—VERY light tears) Just a thank you for last night. If you hadn't taken care of Brad last night, I'm sure my mom and I would have been dead eventually by Brad.
Jerry: (shrugs) Why didn't you just go to the police like you did with me? You do remember how you told the police on me, right?
Charley: (scoffs and briefly smiles) Yeah, I do, but they wouldn't have believed me. Brad was a former police officer and he threatened lots of times that no one would believe me over him, because he used to work for the police. So that's why I came to you. Thank you Jerry. I'll take your secret to the grave with me, now, I mean it, man.
Charley hugged Jerry again—and then quickly let him go. Jerry scoffed again and smiled.
Jerry: (smiles) Don't—DON'T hug me again, alright? (Charley laughs)
Charley walks to the door of the house.
Charley: Well, I have to get to school, but I just wanted to say thanks.
Jerry follows him to the door and Charley walks out.
Jerry: Charley?
Charley turns back and looks at Jerry.
Jerry: (looks down the street as much as he could without getting in the sun and nodded and smiled briefly and then looked back at Charley) Um, um, you're welcome. Don't bother me again though, especially during the day when I'm sleeping. (Charley laughs and gets on his bike and starts it and speeds off)
Jerry watches him leave and scoffs and smiles and closes the door.
Thus began the beginning of a truce between Jerry Dandridge and Charley Brewster, but things were about to get worse between these two, before it ever even got better…..
