Randy went back to his house and fell asleep. He felt awful for how he treated Charlie, he thought she was a great girl who deserved better than to be used for sex and a one night stand.
He woke up several hours later and headed for work, he was sure she would turn up at the bar to seek answers. And he was right. She walked into the bar looking sad and confused
"Hey Randy" she said to him
"Hey Charlie" he replied sharply
"What happened last night? You left without a goodbye or a note. Was i not good enough?" she asked full of sadness
"I left OK. It was a mistake, it was just a one night stand. And if you cant deal with it then i suggest you leave" he gestured to her to leave
She started crying "Ok, if that's what you want, I'll go and you wont ever have to see me again. But just so you know, last night meant a lot to me" She then walked out of the bar door
Randy felt like shit, and regretted that he had pushed her away. He liked her but didn't know how to move on from Sidney.
Some weeks went passed, Randy could not stop thinking about Charlie.
He decided to take Derek on holiday to Woodsboro, he hoped maybe when he came back his mind would be clearer.
He booked tickets and they arrived in Woodsboro to see Dewey and Hayley.
"Hey Dew, hey Hayley" Randy hugged them both before they sat down
"How are things Hun?" Asked Hayley
"Fucked up" he said sadly
"How so?" Asked Dewey
"I met a woman" Randy replied
"That's great!" Exclaimed Hayley
"It's not. I pushed her away by telling her i only wanted sex and nothing more, and i could tell she wanted more. She listened to me pour my heart out about Sidney and Rose. And we had sex and then i told her to do one" Randy said with sadness then put his head in his hands with disgrace
Hayley put her arm around his neck "Oh Randy, i am sorry. Maybe you just aren't ready for anything serious yet. It has only been 10 months since Sidney died. Hey, maybe visiting her grave would help you decide" She enquired
"Yeah, maybe" He said "Thanks Hayley"
"Come on I'll drive you, Derek can stay with Hayley" Said Dewey
"Lets' bake cookies Derek!" Hayley exclaimed happily
Dewey and Randy left and drove to the cemetery, they arrived at Sidney's grave
"I've been putting flowers down Randy" Dewey patted him on the back
"Thanks Dew" Randy said
"Tell me more about this girl" Dewey smiled
"She's called Charlie, she's in her early 30's,i never did ask her actual age. She came into the bar where i work and i was drawn to her like she was to me" Randy explained
"Nice Randy" Dewey smiled
"We chatted for a bit until i finished work then we went to her place where i told her about Sidney and what Rose did, I could feel her compassion and understanding and before i knew it we were kissing and we had sex, then i fell asleep with her, then woke up and quietly walked out and i just walked about for a while feeling really shit, and she came into the bar the next day and i told her to go." Randy said feeling crap and guilty
"I am sorry Randy" Dewey said "What do you want though?" he then asked
"I don't know" he answered honestly
"She sounds like a nice girl. A bit young, but age is just a number" Dewey said
"What do you think Sid would say?" randy asked
"She'd say go back to London, apologise and make it right with Charlie" Dewey smiled
"Do you think so?" randy asked
"Yes! She wouldn't want you to spend the rest of your life alone and unhappy, she'd want you to find love again" Dewey exclaimed
"Thanks Dew" Randy said slightly happier
"Now go back to London and find her and tell her!" Dewey said
"Can i have a few moments alone with Sid?" Randy asked
"Sure I'll be in the car" Dewey said
Dewey walked back to his car leaving Randy standing at Sidney's and Roses' graves
"Hey Sid" he said sitting down next to his wife's grave. "I guess you heard about Charlie? She's a nice girl, but i think i fucked up like i did with you to begin with. I just hope she can forgive me like you did. Don't ever think I'm replacing you, nobody could ever come close to you Sid. You will always be the love of my life and my soulmate. I miss you more and more each day" he started crying "I love you with all my heart Sid" He stood up and couldn't bear to look at his daughter's grave next door. He went back to Dewey and they drove off.
"How you doing?" Asked Dewey
"I'm great Dew, I just hope i can repair the damage i did" Randy said hopeful
A few days later Randy and Derek returned to their home in London. He needed to find Charlie and tell her how he feels.
