Phil arrived at school and parked next to Randy's car. He'd already taken Charlie's necklace and hung it from the rearview mirror. He couldn't believe that they'd actually broken up. He sat there for a few minutes before someone tapped on his window. He looked up and saw Jaycee.

"Where's Charlie?"

"I don't know. We broke up about half an hour ago." He said softly.

"What?"

"We were talking about how Cena and Mizanin quit the football team, I insulted John like always, she defended him and told me to lay off. I of course wouldn't and she gave me the necklace back and hopped in the car with Mike and Natalie."

"I told you she wouldn't stand for you insulting him forever, didn't I?" Randy said as he walked over.

"So not the time for 'I told you so' Randy." Phil said. He closed his eyes and sighed deeply and kicked the tires on his car.

"You will work out." Jaycee said to him.

"I don't know about that." Phil said as the bell rang.

"We should get to class. Don't worry, you guy will work it out." Jaycee said as she and Lexie headed into school.

Randy looked at Phil. "You guys love each other. You can work it out but you need to get along with John." Randy walked off leaving Phil there to think about things.

He didn't know what was worse. Feeling like his heart had been ripped out or the thought of actually having to be nice to John Cena. "God, why does she have to be so stubborn?"

Charlie walked into class and took her seat next to Jaycee. Her eyes were still puffy from crying and she just wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

"Aww, what's the matter? Did that loser wannabe rock star find another groupie to share his bed with?" Maryse said.

"Why don't you shut the fuck up and mind your own business you two dollar hooker!" Charlie yelled as she threw a book across the room and hit Maryse in the nose.

"Ms. Cena that is not the kind of language we use here. Go to the principal's office." Mr. Cole said writing out a pass for her.

Charlie sighed and took the pass from him and headed to the office. She couldn't believe she had lost her temper with Maryse but the whore just pushed her buttons. She handed the note to the secretary and waited for Mr. Hemsley.

"Charlie? What are you doing in here?"

"I cussed Maryse out and threw a book at her."

"What's going on?"

"Personal issues. Phil and I broke up and Maryse started in with her mouth and I flipped."

"Well this is your first offense however we can't let this go. So I have no choice but to suspend you for three days."

Charlie sighed. "Alright." She couldn't believe this. She had never really gotten in trouble before. She got her things together and waited for her mom. She knew a lecture was coming about her scholarship to Wellesley.

She got in the car and her mother drove her home. "What were you thinking? You could have ruined your entire future. I expect this from your brother but not from you." She looked over at Charlie who had by now burst into tears. "Charlie? Baby, what's the matter?"

"Phil and I broke up. And when that swamp moose started in with her mouth, I just couldn't take it." She sobbed.

"Oh baby. I'm so sorry." Carol replied. "I know its hurt right now about Phil but it will be okay."

They arrived home and Charlie headed up to her room. She just wanted to be alone.

Jaycee and Lexie sat down at the lunch table. They knew Natalie would be joining them but they were shocked when she walked up with John and Mike.

"I hope you guys don't mind if they sit with us?" Natalie said with pleading eyes to both.

"It's fine." Jaycee replied before taking bite of her chicken sandwich. "So, Lexie, did you ask Randy yet?"

"No, I'm not sure I can."

"Oh just walked up to him and say hey, let's go out." Natalie replied as Phil and Randy walked. Jaycee waved to both as they walked over. "Now is your chance."

Lexie got up and walked over to where Randy was sitting. "Where's Charlie?" John asked causing the other three to look at him.

"She got in trouble in English." Jaycee said. "She called Maryse a two dollar hooker and threw a book at her."

"What? That's not like Charlie. Why would she do that?"

"She had a fight with Phil this morning and they broke up." Natalie said.

"Why would they have a fight? They're gross when they're together. They would never fight." John said. Mike looked at him.

"I think you need to talk to Charlie." John nodded and got up leaving the table and headed out to his car. He drove to the store and got some ice cream, some tissues and a couple of movies for them to watch. It was something he'd always done for her when she was sick when they were younger. When they were closer. He pulled into the driveway at home and walked up to Charlie's door and knocked before opening it and walking in.

"Shouldn't you be at school?" She asked as she sat up on the bed, wiping her face.

"Shouldn't you?"

"Can't. I got suspended for three days." She sniffed.

"Yeah, I heard about you chucking a book at Maryse. And I heard about Phil." She looked down at her lap and sobbed. "What'd you guys fight about?"

"It's not important."

"Char, I'm trying here but you've got to help me out okay?" He said as he reached in the bag and handed her some Strawberry Ice Cream. She laughed a little and he reached in and handed her some tissues.

"Now, what'd you guys fight about?"

"You."

"Why would you be fighting about me?"

"Because he keeps insulting you." She looked at her brother. "John, I really think you're changing and even though we don't always get along, you are my brother."

"I appreciate you taking up for me. I know I've been a jerk for years now but I'm trying to change that. I remember how close we use to be as kids. You and me and Jaycee and Phil. We had such a fun time back then. The four of us."

"Yeah we use to then things changed. You got popular and the rest of us didn't."

"And I let that go to my head. I became what they wanted me to be. But that's not who I am. I don't know why I did it and I'm sorry I treated you and everyone else like shit." He said as he hugged her. "I love you Charlie." She pulled back to look at him and smiled sadly.

"I love you too bro."

"Now, let's lay here and watch these movies and just take our mind off our troubles for a while okay?" She smiled and nodded. It was nice to have this brother/sister moment. It had been forever since they had one. It seemed that he was changing and she hoped it stuck. She wanted her brother back. The one like this not the asshole he had been.

Phil sat at the lunch table picking at his food and rolling his eyes as he heard Lexie and Randy making plans to hang out later that day. He couldn't believe he'd taken things that far with Charlie. He'd never meant to. He covered his face with his hands and looked around. He wanted to talk to her. He needed to talk to her. To apologize. He looked up as Chris walked up to the table.

"Did you hear? Charlie got suspended."

What?" Phil and Randy said.

"Yeah. She apparently called Maryse a two dollar hooker and threw a book at her. Nattie told me. She was in Mr. Cole's class when it happened."

"I have to go see her." Phil said getting up. "I have to apologize." He quickly made his way out to the parking lot. He got into his car and started to Charlie's.

John and Charlie laughed as they watched a comedy they had loved when they were younger. John hoped this started a new stage of their brother/sister relationship. One where they could get back to being as close as they once were. Both of them looked up when they heard a car pull into the driveway. Charlie looked over at John sadly.

"Do you want to talk to him?" Charlie shook her head. "Okay, I'll go see what he wants okay?" She nodded. John walked down the stairs and out of the house. Phil got out of his car and walked up to him. "She's pretty upset. She's not going to talk to you right now."

"But I need to talk to her. I need to apologize to her for what I said."

"I know you guys need to talk. But she's way too upset to talk to you now. You've known Charlie for a long time now Phil, you should know how she gets when she's mad or hurt." Phil nodded.

"I think this is the most civil conversation we've had in a long time." Phil said.

"And a lot of that is my fault. I'm sorry." Phil looked at him for a minute. "All those names you called me, I deserved every one of them. And I know we may not like each other, I know you love my sister. And she loves you too. If she didn't, she wouldn't be upstairs in her room crying her eyes out."

"Are you feeling okay?" John smiled.

"Man, everyone keeps asking me that today. I'm fine. I'm better than I have been in a long time actually. And I know I don't deserve it but I need you to do me a favor. I need you to make sure Jaycee shows up at the prom."

"I don't know….."

"You do that for me and I'll make sure Charlie shows up for you."

Phil thought for a minute. He didn't want his sister hurt anymore but he wanted Charlie at the prom. He wanted to make things up to her. "Alright. You have a deal. I will make sure she's there."

"Great. Thanks."

"Tell Charlie I will see her later."

John nodded as Phil walked back to his car. He turned headed back into the house. If things worked out the way he hoped, both he and Phil would get to be with the girls they loved.
