Joey climbed out of bed and went looking for Charlie once again, she sounded drunk. She was shocked to see Hugo standing next to Charlie. "Joey, thank god your home." Hugo sounded relieved to see her. Charlie let go of Hugo and grabbed Joey around the neck. "She's drunk, really drunk. She said that she's in love with you, metioned something about ashamed and Tracey?" Hugo looked at Joey looking for an answer, something to tell him that this was all just a big joke. She didn't know what to say, all she did was nod. "I'll deal with this. Thanks for bringing her home."
----xoxo----
Joey didn't know what to do. Charlie was in love with her. Joey took Charlie into her room. She started rambling, "Sorry….. love you…… not embarrassed…… kiss me….." Joey didn't know what to do. She didn't want to take advantage of Charlie but she really wanted to kiss her.
As she leaned in and their lips met, their tongues danced in one another's mouths. Joey put her hands in Charlie's hair, kissing her passionately. Joey pulled her head away, she was with Tracey. Nothing had changed she still wasn't sure if she wanted to be with Charlie. "No, Charlie. I can't do this." Charlie's eyes filled with tears. "Please Joey, I love you." Joey looked into her eyes, love wasn't enough anymore. "Charlie, I love you but you're too insecure, nothing has changed. You still wouldn't kiss me, you wont hold my hand, you flinch when I touch you. I can't live like this. Charlie, you need to go into Ruby's room." Charlie begged to stay but Joey stood strong and as she kissed Charlie goodnight on the forehead, Charlie's tears overwhelmed her and she too began to cry. Joey closed the door and fell into a flood of tears.
----xoxo----
Charlie woke up the next morning her head was spinning but she still remembered what had happened last night. She'd told Hugo she was in love with Joey. She had expressed her love to Joey and they had shared a passionate kiss just too be rejected. She looked at the clock, it was 6am. She got up and put her running clothes on, ready for a jog. Trying to clear her head, as she ran. It was unlike her to throw herself at someone or announce that she was in. I guess that what alchol does to you, if only I hadn't been so stupid.

She was so consumed by her thoughts that she didn't see Hugo running towards her. She turned around hoping that she would just leave her alone. "Charlie, Charlie," he called. No luck of that. As she slowed down her eyes met his. He was looking for answers. Charlie started, "Thanks for taking me home, Hugo." Hugo nodded indicating it was okay. "Listen, your secrets safe with me." "Hugo, listen. Would you mind just forgetting about what I said last night. I was drunk and didn't know what I was saying." Hugo nodded, "That's fine but you seemed pretty upset last night, are you sure you don't want to talk?" Charlie really needed to vent. She had kept these feeling and emotions inside for so long. "it's just, Joey was in love with me, she wanted to be with me but I strung her along for too long. I broke her heart and now she's moved on with Tracey and I'm left heartbroken. I should have just forgotten what everyone would say and followed my heart but now it's too late." A tear rolled down her cheek. She looked into his eyes, wishing she felt what she felt with Joey with Hugo. "Charlie, you're a great girl and if she can't see that then she doesn't deserve you." Charlie knew this wasn't true. "She did see everything I was and could be, she mean't the world to me. I just wish I had have known all of this before I let her go." Tears now running down her cheeks like a river. Hugo hhugged her.. it was comfort but it didn't feel like it felt with Joey. She thanked Joey for his support and then she just sat on the beach for hours, crying her heart out, hoping she could find answers in the crashing waves.

Joey woke up at 7:30. walking into the kitchen she hoped that she wouldn't see Charlie. She wasn't ready to deal with that just yet. "Hey, Ruby." Ruby flashed her a smile. "have you seen Charlie this morning?" Joey didn't know how to answer. Ruby didn't seem to notice. "Charlie was up the almost the whole night, she was really upset. She was trying to conceal her sobs but I could hear her crying all night. I tried to get her to talk to me but she just pushed me away. Could you please talk to her?" Joey nodded in agreement.
