Joey walked back into bretts hoping kate had left but she found her sat on the couch next to a now sleeping brett
"I asked you leave kate so why are you still here?"she asked quietly as she felt too tired for an argument
"we need to talk"
"there's nothing left to say"
"what does that mean?"
"it means I need time to think kate"
"think about what exactly?"
"everything"
"are you breaking up with me joey?"
"you tell me what you were hiding in our house and we'll talk"
joey rub her head in frustration when she got no reply and walked out the front door glad that kate wasn't following her,she made her way to the beach to give herself some time to think and she hoped kate would be gone by the time she got back.
Charlie had gone home and called Chris to tell him what she had found out from brett,she was now laid in bed wondering why she was so off with joey but she couldn't quite come up with an answer so she put it down to stress of the case and the fact she didn't know whether or not to trust her gut when it came to joeys involvement.
Joey got up the next afternoon to go help aden get ready for the party,she walked past brett who was fast asleep on the couch "well at least I didn't have to listen to him and charlie going at it.............and I didn't have to deal with kate when I got back.........I wonder were she is....although I'm not sure I even care anymore"
charlie woke up pretty late in the afternoon and decided to unpack some of the stuff she had still boxed up then get ready for adens party.
Joey and aden were in his kitchen making some food for the party
"so........you've been here a while now and you still haven't said how it went with kate"
"I told her I needed some time to think about what I want"
"are you breaking up"he said trying not to smile
"don't sound too disappointed will you ade" she said smiling at him knowing how much he didn't like her girlfriend
"sorry" he said sounding anything but
"its ok...........the truth is I don't how I feel about her anymore"
"well doesn't that tell you everything you need to know"
"I guess"
"look Jo....... you know I don't like her and if she actually made you happy then I would support with this no matter what but honestly she doesn't and you deserve better"
"I know" "but she's hiding something from me and I want to know what it is"
"so what are you gunna do?"
"I'm gunna get drunk and have a good time tonight, thats what I'm gunna do......ok"
aden knew his best friend well enough to leave it, for know.
It was now 6.30 pm and charlie was stood outside adens house having text joey for directions "ok I can do this....... so I go in meet some people,look like I'm having a good time and leave........easy" but she still didn't move until a voice came from behind her
"you planning on standing here all night or you going in"
"hi Laura.....erm...yes"
"you'll be fine charlie, everyone is nice enough"she said sensing charlie nerves
"come on then" she said when charlie still made to attempt to move
"oh sorry" smiling slightly as they both walked towards the door
aden open the door, greeted them both with a smile and lead them into the living room were the party was already in full swing, to a group of people sat round a table
"guys this is charlie,she just moved here a couple of days ago"
"charlie this is Martha,Leah,Rachel,Roman,Angelo,Tony,Nicole and Geoff"
charlie and Laura took a seat at the table talking to the others while aden went to get them some drinks.
About an hour later they were still sat at the table and charlie had now learnt that Rachel was a doctor and was married to Tony who owned the gym and Martha used to be married to his son jack who was a cop but got killed over a year ago,Leah owned the diner and she was dating Roman who was Nicole's dad,Nicole and Geoff used to date but she now had her eye on Angelo,Angelo is a cop who used to work with jack and now had his eye on charlie unbeknown to her.
Charlie had been looking around the room for joey since she arrived but hadn't yet seen her until she spotted her in the kitchen laughing with someone , then she went out the back-door to get some air. charlie excused herself from the table so she could apologise to joey for last night, she walked out of the door to see joey sat on the beach with her legs stretched out looking up at the sky with a large glass of wine in her hand and a full bottle at the side of her
"hey joey"she said softly when she reached her
"do you think when you wish upon a shooting star, your wish will come true? She said still looking up at the sky as charlie sat next to her
"erm maybe..........unless the star is really a meteor about to destroy the earth,then you're pretty much dead no matter what you wish for"
"unless it was death by meteor"
"right"
they both laughed and fell into a comfortable silence looking up at the sky
"top up"joey said indicating to charlies empty glass which charlie accepted
"I'm sorry...........about last night"
joey looked at her but charlie wasn't looking at her, she had felt confused by charlie last night "for what?"
"I know I was off with you.........I didn't want to intrude you know"
"it wasn't what it looked like"she said quickly looking out at to sea
charlie looked joey "it was exactly what it looked like joey" she said smiling slightly when joey turned to look her and sighed
"I was trying to get her to leave"
"didn't look that way to me" she said as she turned her head to look at the sea again cursing herself for sounding so cold "sorry.......I just don't get you and her,you seem so different" "or maybe they aren't that different"
"it wasn't always this way"she stated simply after taking a big drink of her wine,not wanting to talk about kate anymore which charlie sensed "I'll leave that for now"
"so.....what did you wish for"charlie asked breaking the silence
"I can't tell you that,it wont come true" said a grinning joey
"oh yes, I forgot"smiling back at joey
"so you having a nice time?"joey asked
"yes I am...............and the people seem really nice"
"yes they are" she turned to look at charlie "so has he asked you out yet?"
"who?"charlie asked genuinely confused about who she was talking about
"the guy that been trying to get your attention since you got here..................Angelo"
"oh...erm no"she hadn't even noticed she had spent most of her time looking for joey
"are you seriously telling you didn't even notice?"
"no"she said weakly, the truth was she hadn't
"surprising"
"why?"
"well he's a good looking guy and your a gorgeous women, I would have thought you would have been interested"
"she thinks I'm gorgeous" she thought trying to hide her smile "he's pretty cute I guess"
"wow.....I thought he was every heterosexual women's wet dream.............sure your not batting for the other side"joey chuckled
charlie looked at her with the moonlight bouncing off her face thinking she really was beautiful when she laughed"if I was to be with a women it would be with someone like her..................oh my god did I just think that" she then shifted uncomfortably and turned her head away from joey
"I was joking charlie....relax"she said as she noticed charlie reaction
charlie turned backed to joey and smiled "I know" sounding more confident than she actually felt
"so,while were on the subject........have you ever been with a women?"she said with a cheeky smile
"no"she answered as she ran the sand through her hand smiling back at joey "what about you,have you been with a guy"
joey started laughing as she thought back to the time her and aden had tried to take their friendship to the next level "I tried once but it didn't feel right......I knew that if I couldn't be with aden then I couldn't be with any guy"
"he told me about the plastic ring he gave you when you were kids"
charlie smiled as joey began to laugh then search her bag for something
"what you looking for?"
she pulled out her keys "this"she grinned triumphantly as she showed charlie the plastic ring that was attached to them
"he seems really sweet"
"he is"she said as she played with the ring
after a moments silence"so hows that sister of yours?" she asked as it seemed they were always talking about her
"she fine...I'm a little surprised actually at how much I miss her"
"we don't know what we've got until we lose it"
"your right"
joey looked at charlies face glowing from the moonlight with her hair blowing gently in the breeze " but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives"
charlie turned to meet joeys gaze and her stomach started to flutter at the way joey was looking at her,in that moment charlie was sure joey was talking about her but she wasn't sure how she felt about it, which started to make her nervous
joey couldn't quite read charlies expression although she could feel the tension,before joey could stop herself she gently pushed a strand of charlies hair behind her ear and began to slowly caress her cheek with her thumb
charlies mind was going into overdrive "oh my god what the hell is happening..........stop her.........take her hand of your face...........i don't want to.....shit"
"joey!" someone shouted bringing them out of the moment
"great timing ade...as always" "yes"
"phone"he shouted from the back door
"I'll just go get that"she said as she threw her keys back into her back not bothering to close it
"ok" "shit.....what the hell"
charlie watched joey walk away then looked at her back noticing her keys
"I could go check out bretts while its empty............and it will get me out of here for abit" with that she took the keys, zipped up joeys bag and walked into the house.
she spotted joey on the phone "whats happening to me" she thought as she watched joey until she was brought out of her thoughts when someone knocked her
"aden save this for joey will you,I have to run out but I'll be back soon" and she was gone before he could ask were she was going
joey finished on the phone as was about to make her way back outside when aden called her
"yes"she said looking over at him
he waved her bag in the air
"what are doing with this"she asked as she took it from him
"charlie gave it to me before she left"
"left?" "fuck"
"yes she said she had to run out but she would be back soon"
"oh" "I bet I scared her away.......why am I so stupid"
joey took her bag and went to go get a drink
charlie pulled her car up around the corner from bretts house and slowly crept her way around the back, after checking nobody was home she made her way into the house and began to look around the living room. stopped in her tracks when she heard someone walking up the path "shit.....shit" she quickly ran upstairs into one of the bedroom and hid behind the door "great idea charlie" but it was too late to move as brett was already in the house and began to make his way up the stairs "shit....shit....shit"
ok so before you start cursing me the party isn't over
