Charlie was sitting down, starring at a cup of freshly made tea, when there was a knock on the door. She slowly stood up and went to open it and was greeted by a smiling Leah.

"Hey Charlie" said Leah happily "just finished by shift at the diner and thought I'd pop over for a visit".

"Err hey Leah" replied Charlie trying to put on a happy face "um that's fine, come in" she added opening the door wider for Leah to come in.

Charlie poured Leah a cup of tea, placed it in front of her and sat down. Leah could tell that something was bothering Charlie.

"So where's Angelo?" she asked glancing around.

"Oh um he had to do something so he just popped out for a bit" Charlie replied, she didn't want to tell anyone about Clara and her situation without Angelo there.

Leah stayed for about an hour and Charlie tried to smile and chat, but she was worried sick about Angelo. He hadn't returned home yet, or even called or texted and she was beginning to get scared.

When Leah left, she grabbed her mobile and pressed the speed dial for his number. It went straight to the message bank. Frustrated she threw the phone onto the lounge and screamed. She had told him to keep his phone near him so that if she needed to call, she could.

She didn't know what to do. Should she stay and wait for Angelo to come home? Or should she go out and look for him? Charlie decided to wait for another hour and see what would happen. She didn't want him going to search for her as well when if he came back to an empty house. Not knowing what else to do to keep her occupied, she took out all the plates in the cupboard and washed them. She knew this would take a good half an hour and she needed a distraction. After that, she started on the cutlery.

Just as Angelo's hour was up, she was making her way to the door when the phone rang. Hoping it was Angelo; she ran and picked up the receiver.

"Angelo?" she said hopefully.

"Ah, no Charlie, it's Rachel".

"Oh hi Rach, what's up?" replied Charlie, clearly disappointed.

"Listen Charlie, we need you to come to the hospital, there has been an accident, Angelo was stabbed!"
