Author's Note (Monster): Hello, our lovelies! How are you guys doing today? I can tell you I've finished the final chapter of Consume Me; Chapter 3 Final Act. This story was never supposed to be huge or full of drama/story but rather an extra long love drabble which ended up as a short chaptered story. I still hope you guys will like it and please tell me which story you'd like to see updated next. Replies to the reviews below. Enjoy!


"I know I probably asked this before but why don't you just tell Funny you like him and want to be in an exclusive relationship?", Charlie asked as he picked up a snow globe from the shelf in my room. He shook it and watched the little snowflakes dance as he did. He smiled and I rolled my eyes at the stupid, yet cute innocence of my fake boyfriend.

"Because it's hard to tell him something like that."

"Harder than pretending to be taken?" Charlie snorted. "You almost blew our cover with your acting skills."

"I know. I'm sorry", I apologised with a smile. "But you saved me back there. I didn't know you could act like that. You really deserve an Oscar for it."

"I always said I deserved one", Charlie chuckled. He sat down on my bed and tapped the spot next to me. I sat down and looked at my feet. "Now tell daddy Charlie how this thing with Funny happened. How do you get so compliant that you just let yourself get fucked and used by him?"

"I don't know", I sighed. "I was happy just fooling around with him. We were always cracking jokes and always hanging around each other. He'd wrap his arms around me for pictures and I'd just let him because it was pretty comfortable. He'd nuzzle my hair and I'd enjoy that feeling of comfort. At some point, we just both woke up in the middle of the night aboard the bus because it was way too hot to sleep and for some reason he pushed me against the wall and just… kissed me. My lips, my neck, he just did and I enjoyed it so I didn't stop him and we didn't stop there. From then on, it was kind of… a regular thing but he never ceased his flirtatious behaviour or random fucking of girls so I pretty soon realised I wasn't his boyfriend. Only I was already in love when I realised that fact."

"That sounds horrible", Charlie added. He drew up his knees and faced me as a more comfortable way to sit on the bed. I did the same, turning towards him. Our knees almost touching. "It is horrible. It hurts to know he's not satisfied with just… just me."

"Maybe he's afraid of settling down? I know Funny's got some commitment issues because of a past relationship. He got into a depression for four years because of that girl."

"Really? I had no idea", I murmured. "Why didn't he tell me that?"

"Would you like to talk about your depression?"

"Yeah. I'd love to be open about it and let people who are experiencing the same shit, know I turned out fine. You always hear about the suicide successions but no one ever talks about the ones who overcame their depression to live their life to the fullest."

Charlie shrugged. "This conversation is getting way too deep way too quickly."

"I like to be an open book", I murmured.

Charlie smiled at me and put a hand on my shoulder. "Funny's pretty fucking retarded if he doesn't want to be in an exclusive relationship with you."

"Yeah, but meanwhile I still want him back", I murmured.

He nodded. "It'll fade with time. Just relax and you'll overcome your stupid crush on that stupid guy."

"He's your best friend", I laughed. "Not a stupid guy."

Charlie waved dismissively. "Details, dude. No one cares about who your long-lost love is. Everyone always goes 'he's an ass!' or 'I never liked him!' afterwards anyway."

"Like you're doing now?" I asked and Charlie nodded enthusiastically. "Exactly! Now you get it."

I let my laughter fade into silence before staring at the bandana rapper. "I really appreciate you, doing this for me, Charlie."

I could see his shoulders tense in a shy gesture to accept the compliment before breaking into his usual cheeky smile. "You know I can't say no."

"You always help us. It doesn't even matter what our problem is. If we'd tell you we killed someone, you'd appear at our front door with a shovel."

"No."

"No?"

Charlie smirked. "I'd ask who before doing that because I'm not helping you bury Funny, alright? He's still my homie."

"I don't think he's gonna be your homie for long since you're dating me now."

"Wouldn't that mean he's jealous?"

"So?"

"Jealousy is a sign of love", Jordon swooned with an eyebrow wiggle before bursting out laughing at the face Danny made. "I think Funny's in love with sex but definitely not with me or he wouldn't have let me go so easily."

"He didn't really have a choice", Jordon countered. "He can't say no to your wishes for another partner if he's allowed to sleep around, right?"

"Maybe he saw it as an open relationship?"

Jordon shrugged. "Would it really hurt to just talk to him about this?"

"Yeah, it would. You know how stubborn he is. You can't tie down the Funny Man", I said and Jordon shook his head. "If you don't, I will."

"What? No, you wouldn't."

"Yeah, I would."

I squinted my eyes. "Fine, I will talk to him."

He smiled satisfied and I got up, heading for the kitchen to pour myself a drink. "You want a beer?"

"Sure!"

I walked back into the living room with two beers and offered him one when music played through the place.

Jordon took out his phone, the source of the sound and checked the caller id. A worried frown appeared on his forehead and my smile melted as he picked up. "Yeah?"

He got up and turned away, leaving the room. Probably a reflex. I had the habit of leaving when I picked up the phone as well. I sipped my drink and put the glass back down when Charlie appeared into the room again.

I offered him a smile. "Urgent call?"

I tried to keep the mood light but I could tell from his face that something was seriously wrong. Charlie put his fist before his mouth, seeming to think before he could speak. He took a deep breath and I couldn't take the anticipation. All colour gone from his face. "Something wrong?"

"Funny's in the hospital. He almost drank himself to death."


Please Review, they're our heavy fuel!

danny'sdanny: Thank you but it is a Danny/Charlie, even if it is fake. Even as a fake couple they get to spend a lot of time together.

Sunny Boy Smiles: yay indeed

HUshipper: Great, I kinda posted it because I was stuck...

HU4LIFEBITCHES: It is loosely based off the song Idfc by Blackbear but it has nothing to do with the one-shot I already wrote for that song so yeah, you spotted the song right but the two stories are unrelated. This story's ending next chapter too.

xx-Chanour: Well, it certainly took me long enough to figure out where to go with it.

Sharon: Thank you. It's not going very far but it was never meant to be a long story.
