CHAPTER 10
The next day, Charlie and Ruby are taking their breakfast.
- "So, how was the evening with Joey after I gone ?"
- "Oh, hu... it was good"
- "She is really cool and funny."
- "Yeah she is."
- "I didn't ask you before, but how did you know her ?"
- "Uh...Watson's sister knows her."
- "She is one of Watson's friend so."
- "Well, uh not exactly"
- "What do you mean ?"
- "Jenny and Joey were closer than just friends..."
- "Oh my god ! Is Joey gay ?"
- "Yeah, and she uses to sleep around. So Watson didn't like to see her with her sister."
- "Wow, I didn't think she was like this !"
- "Yeah, at first I thought she was a bitch, but now...I don't know."
- "You don't know about what Charlie ?"
- "There is something about her I don't understand. Now I can hardly believe she is the same that I first met."
- "Maybe she is changing"
- "Maybe"
- "Anyway, how are things with Angelo ?"
- "They are good. We'll go out tonight"
- "I'm glad to see you with someone again. It was a long time !"
- "Yeah I know. And I hope this time it will last and maybe turns on something good."
- "Morning Jo"
- "Yeah morning Ad"
- "Wow, I thought that after your evening with Charlie you will be in good spirits."
Joey turns and makes her coffee without answering.
- "Okaaaay. So I guess something happened."
- "Nothing happened."
- "Then that's the matter, you are disappointed"
- "Aden, there is no matter so don't try to make one okay ?"
- "Well, okay I let you with your bad mood."
Once she is alone, Joey sits in front of her coffee. I'm not disappointed. I don't think I am. I'm just angry with myself. But everytime I saw her, it's the same thing I feel.
The evening, Joey is going at Charlie's house, not really knowing why. She feels the need to see her.
When she arrives, all she can see is Charlie kissing a man. She just can't describe the feeling. Angry but mostly sadness, this feeling that she no longer wanted to feel. That's when she realizes one thing : Aden is right. I really like her.
One week later...
At midday, Charlie leaves the station to buy something to eat. Leah is preparing her a sandwich when Charlie hears someone calling her.
- "Hey Charlie !"
- "Oh hi Jenny ! How are you ?"
- "I'm fine ! And what about you ? It's been a while !"
- "Yeah, that's true. But I'm fine."
- "Do you have time for lunch or have you to go straight to the station ?"
- "No I have time, do you ?"
- "Yeah, of course"
They sit at a table and begin to eat.
- "So Jenny, how are things ?"
- "Really fine !"
- "Oh tell me why so !"
- "I met someone"
- "Really ? That's great !"
- "Yeah, after Joey I really needed someone like her"
- "Joey asked me news about you"
- "Do you saw her ?"
- "Yeah she came at mine to dinner. Ruby wanted to thank her"
- "Oh yeah Wat told me about what happened to Ruby. Is she okay ?"
- "Yeah. Thanks of Joey."
- "You know Charlie, even if Joey only shows her bad side, I know there is something good in her. And that's why the way she acted with me hurt me."
- "Yeah I know."
- "I never met someone like her. Sometimes, she is so gentle that it's incomprehensible."
- "Do you know her family ?"
- "No, I never talk about this with her, and honestly, when we were together we were busy"
- "Okay, I understood !"
- "The one I know is her best friend Aden."
- "I met him too. He seems nice"
- "Yeah I think too. But I always wondered how they could be friends ? Seriously they are the opposite !"
They are interrupted by Charlie's phone ringing.
- "Charlie Buckton"
- "Charlie, there is a fight on the docks."
- "I'm coming."
- "I'm sorry Jenny, I have to go"
- "Oh that's okay. We will see us later"
- "Yeah okay, bye"
- "Bye Charlie"
When she arrives on the docks, Charlie can only see a crowd fights. With others officers, they engage in the crowd to separate people. Charlie suddenly spots Joey fighting with a man.
Joey gives the guy a punch on the face before to receive one. She feels her lips is bleeding but don't stop to fight. She is going to hit him when she feels someone pulling her from behind.
- "Joey !"
Joey is surprised to see her. She was the last person she expected. The others officers manage slowly to calm things. Charlie stays between Joey and the guy she was fignting with.
- "What the hell is happening here ?"
- "Sergeant, I think you should ask her"
Charlie turns and looks at Joey without understanding. Joey still looking at the guy clearly wanted to hit him.
- "Joey ? What happened ?"
- "Nothing"
- "How can you say nothing ! You fuck my girlfriend and that's nothing ?"
Saying that, he try to hit her again, before to be retained by Watson.
- "You come with us at the station !"
Watson and other officers leaves and the crowd begins to disperse. Charlie looks at Joey a little shocked.
- "Are you okay ?"
- "Yeah"
- "Is that true ?"
- "I don't think that's important"
Joey turns to go back working on the boat. Charlie follows her.
- "Actually that's important. Especially if this guy wants to make a complaint."
- "I don't mind"
- "Joey ! How can you say that ?"
- "Look Charlie, the fight is over so I think you can leave."
Charlie looks at her, surprised by her coldness.
- "Why didn't you call me since last week ?"
- "Look Charlie, we are to different to be friends so leave it."
- "Why are you saying that ?"
- "Because that's true. I'm not as good as you and Ruby can think. So stay in your world and let me in mine."
- "And what's yours Joey ? Sleep around, sleep with girl engaged ? I know you're not like that !"
- "You're wrong Charlie."
Joey walks away of the boat and Charlie stays silent and confused about what just happened.
Please, reviews makes me smile...;)
