Chapter Twelve :
"Go go go go go go go go go go go GO!!" Joey yelled at Yoshi on the TV. "No no no no!" Joey said as her player lost the race
"What can I say?" Aden laughed. "Bowser and I just make a good team" He grinned.
"Bowser cheats!" Joey said throwing her remote on the floor and folding her arms over her chest.
"How can a Mario character cheat?" Aden asked through his laughter.
"Are you kidding me? With help from you, you big oomph!" Joey glared. "How many times can it be allowed for Bowser to run my poor little Yoshi over?"
"Well next time don't pick Yoshi!" Aden said as he turned the TV off. They had this same old fight every time. He knew what was coming next.
"But I pick Yoshi every time! I can't not pick him!" Both teenagers said at the same time. Aden in a mimicking voice.
"Shuddup Aden!" Joey said throwing a pillow in his direction.
"If anything gets broken girlie, you're paying for it!" Irene said as she walked in the back door.
"Ha ha, you got told!" Aden taunted.
Joey replied by sticking her middle finger up.
"Now now, there's no need for that Josephine" Aden said in a high pitched voice.
"I'll give you Josephine in a minute" Joey mumbled and glared yet again.
"Right, you two go get ready thanks"
"Ready for what?" Aden asked.
"It's Glenda's birthday and she asked if the three of us would like to go in for a meal" Irene said referring to her next door neighbour.
"Oh yay" Aden said sarcastically.
"Yippee" Joey said twirling her finger around in the air.
"Whether you both like it or not you're coming in next door, even if it's just to wish Glenda a happy birthday and for the meal. I will be staying afterwards but you two don't have to"
"She'll force us to say"
"She has these powers where she can force you to do anything" Joey nodded.
"I will say you have to get home to bed for school in the morning. Now chop chop, I want you two to look presentable" Irene said nodding her head toward the bathroom door.

"What are you doing here?" Charlie asked as she walked passed the unwanted guest and unlocked the door.
"I just called around to say I missed ya" Grant said standing up behind Charlie. "I'm in town for a few days, thought we'd have a big catch up" He spun Charlie around. "Like old times"
"Back of Grant" Charlie said shaking Grant's grasp off of and entering the house.
"Place hasn't changed much." Grant said as he entered the house behind Charlie. "Not one for decorating then?"
"What do you want Grant?" Charlie asked as she threw her school bag on the floor.
"You've never been one for the small talk have you Charlzy" Grant laughed and pulled a chair out from under the kitchen table.
"No, can't say I have" Charlie watched as Grant sat down. "I didn't think you were going to stay here long"
"Thought wrong hey sweets" Grant winked. "I'll have a cold beer thanks toots"
---
"That food was awful" Aden said as he opened the back door and walked straight to the fridge.
"Tell me about it" Joey walked passed Aden and into the bedroom. "Whatever you're having get me some too" She sung out from her bedroom.
---
"How's school treating you?" Grant asked.
"Fine thanks" Charlie mumbled, wondering to herself why she hadn't kicked Grant out hours ago.
"Do you have a boyfriend?"
"A girlfriend actually" Charlie said looking up.
Grant laughed. "Ah you're back on the "I'm a lesbian" train again. Was wondering when that was going to stop by again"
"You're not funny" Charlie said raising her eyebrow at Grant.
"Yeah I am" Grant smiled. "So, what's the girl's name?"
"Joey"
Grant laughed yet again. "Joey as in the chick you were into back when we were together?"
"That'd be the one"
"Fuck, some things do change. How long you been together for?"
"Since Tuesday"
"Two days?" Grant chuckled. "That's nothing"
"It's something" Charlie glared at Grant.
---
Joey and Aden sat on the couch eating pizza that Aden had phoned up to get delivered after finding nothing in the fridge, they were watching Coyote Ugly as they got it free with their pizza.
"Cammie's hot" Aden said as he ate a slice of pizza.
"Mmm" Joey said as she finished eating her slice. "I prefer Rachel"
"You always prefer Rachel's"
Joey giggled as Aden was referring to the sitcom F.R.I.E.N.D.S and how Joey is obsessed with Jennifer Anniston's character.
"Do you like Rachel Armstrong?" Aden asked.
"She's pretty. Not my type. There's only one girl for me" Joey beamed. "Speaking of. I must text her" Joey leaned forward, paused the TV and grabbed her mobile phone.
"And you need to pause the TV for that?"
"Yes, yes I do" Joey smiled before she started to text her girlfriend.
---
She didn't know how it happened, but all it took was one swift move from Grant and now Charlie lay on her back, kissing him. His hands caressing her breasts under her shirt, she moaned at the touch.
---
30 minutes later, the movie had finished and both Aden and Joey were full on pizza.
"Good movie. Good food." Aden nodded. "Me tired"
"Go to bed then caveman" Joey mumbled as she checked her phone for the millionth time. Usually Charlie replied straight away. "Maybe she's fallen to sleep"
Aden closed his eyes. "Doubt it"
"What's that supposed to mean?" Joey asked sitting up and looking at her best friend.
"Don't worry about it" Aden said as he too sat up.
"No, I will worry about it. What did you mean?" Joey challenged.
"Do you really want to know?" Aden asked.
"I really want to know"
"Alright, my honest opinion is that she's probably over at her house or some other person's house fucking them like crazy"
Joey's eyes filled with tears. "You can't see the good in her, can you?" Joey asked standing up. "She's changed Aden, she's not the girl she used to be and it would be so lovely for you to accept that and be happy for us or at least be happy for me" Joey wiped her tears and stormed off to her bedroom, slamming the door shut.
"What on earth was that about?" Irene asked as she entered the house.
"Nothing" Aden mumbled before walking off and slamming his door.
---
Charlie quickly stood up and dressed her naked body. Tears were streaming down her face as she had realised what she had just done.
"I think you should leave" Charlie said turning to Grant who was dressing himself.
"Yeah I figured as much" Grant smiled. "I'll see you around Charlzy" Grant said as he pulled up the fly on his jeans and left the house.
Charlie slipped her school dress back on and slid down to the floor, holding her knees, crying.
---
"Yes mum, I'll be okay, look I'm out the front of Charlie's now...I know, I know! Vinnie is picking me up in 20 minutes, Mum I'll be fine! Look I'm going now. I will see you when I get home...I know you have a right to worry muma. Okay I'm hanging up now, Love you" Leah hung up the phone and placed it in her pocket, walking around to the back of the house, she bumped into someone. "Oops, sorry" Leah's smile faded as she looked up to see Grant. "What are you doing here?"
"Just came to see Charlie" Grant smirked before walking off.
Leah watched as he walked away before walking to the back door and banging on it.
---
Charlie stood up, wiped her face and answered the door.
"Leah...hi"
"Tell me you didn't"
"Didn't what?" Charlie asked.
"Tell me you didn't just sleep with Grant Bledcoe" Leah said raising her voice.
"Keep your voice down!" Charlie said pulling Leah inside.
---
Joey lay curled up in bed, holding onto her phone as she waited for her girlfriend to reply. She was feeling a mix of anger and hurt. Never in her 4 years of friendship had Aden made her feel like this. Why couldn't he just support her? She made sure her phone was on loud before rolling over to her side; she began to cry into her pillow before sleep took over.
---
Aden lay staring at the ceiling. What he had said had been harsh. He didn't mean to hurt Joey. But he knew he was right, his gut feeling told him so.
---
"I can't believe you cheated on Joey" Leah said shaking her head.
"I know" Charlie sniffed. "I don't know how it happened. One thing lead to another and" Charlie leaned her head down and cried.
"I thought you loved Joey"
"I do love Joey" Charlie said bringing her head up.
"I thought you said you like girls"
"I like Joey...I've always liked Joey" Charlie sighed. "I don't know. I'm confused"
"You're confused so you sleep with a guy whilst you still have a girlfriend, I see how that works"
"You're disappointed in me"
"You're damn right I'm disappointed in you Charlie" Leah said turning to her friend. "I actually thought you loved her"
"I do. It's why I'm not going to tell her. Why hurt her over some stupid mistake that I will never ever make again"
"You expect me to keep this from her?" Leah laughed. "You've got to be kidding Charlie"
"I'm not. Please Leah" Charlie said placing her hand on her best friends arm. "It was a mistake. I feel horrible for cheating on her. But I can't lose her. I love her too much. Please, just keep it between you and me"
Leah looked at Charlie. "Okay. I will keep it to myself, only because I don't want to be the one to hurt Joey. But I don't agree with what you're doing Charlie. You know it's going to come back and bite you on the arse, don't you?"
"It won't" Charlie smiled. "I'll make sure it doesn't"
