Disclaimer: Would I be writing this story if I owned anything?
A/N: I feel like Lemony Snicket, saying how you should RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN. I nearly started crying reading these...so go grab a box of tissues. Or 5.
"Claire" Charlie breathed.
"Charlie!" screamed Aaron, 2 and half years old, and full of energy.
"Hey there, Turnip head" Charlie said with a smile ruffling his hair He then turned his attention to Claire.
"Hello, love"
She didn't say anything, just a sad smile on her face as she hoisted Aaron higher up onto her hip.
"Would you like to come in?" Charlie asked.
Claire nodded. He opened the door, letting her in. He brought a chair up to the bed and she sat down, facing him as he settled himself on his bed.
He took the palms of his hands and rubbed them together. "What brings you here?"
"Thomas and I broke up. Again." she stated.
Charlie bit his lip, trying is hardest not to smile. "Really?"
She nodded sadly. "He said that he couldn't handle a baby. Couldn't bring in enough money to support all of us, and a bunch of other bullshit" Charlie just nodded, trying really hard not to smile now. Sales of DriveSHAFT records had skyrocketed after his return from the island, and along with sold-out concerts, it hadn't really left him poor.
"I thought, since I know how you loved Aaron so much,I should let you know that I'm giving him up for adoption"
Charlie was speechless for a few moments "What!" he cried.
"I can't do this, Charlie. Taking care of a baby, making minimum wage! I can't handle it!"
Charlie instantly softened, seeing the look of desperation on her face. " Claire, look, I can help you out. You guys can come on tour-"
"Oh Charlie, I could never do that to you" Claire told him.
"But, Claire, you can't, I mean, you can't give the little guy up" Charlie stated, looking down at the little boy fondly.
"Well, I'm going to have too. I just thought I should let you know" Claire said coldly. She picked up Aaron. She lingered for a few moments, before leaving a soft kiss on the lips of a dumbstruck Charlie.
"Good bye, Charlie" she whispered. She gave him one last look before closing the door on him, both literally and figuratively.
Ummm, well, now that was just de.press.ing. I doubt Claire would EVER do ANYTHING like that, but hey, I said they were sad. Can I just say, next chapter I worked by BUTT off on, and I'm REALLY proud of it, and even though it's sad, I love it. So yah.
And since pretty much all of you got that Marissa and Summer were from The OC, you all get cookies ((hands out cookies)).
Whirlwind-2005-As you can see, it's rather depressing when everyone meets one another...
FanofLOST- Of course she ran into Sayid, unless she ran into Boone. But I wrote Boone died, right? ((checks)) yep, he's dead, so it's Sayid. Yah, I like when it ends in happy, because when it ends in sad, then it feels that's the way it supposed to end, and then I get all depressed like. And when Albert said that in "Hitch" I was all "Jack thinking about Kate with Sawyer!" Because everything in my pathetic life relates to Lost somehow. My friends and I actually managed to relate everything to Lost during lunch one day. Yah, that was fun.
Lostobsessivefreak-(Can I just jump in say your username is too true about me) No really, I could beat you in the worst updater award. I'M SO FREAKIN BAD.
Sunny102- You get 2 cookies for giving me all that extra info. I love The OC too. Just not as much as Lost. SETH/SUMMER FOREVER!
Rain1657- Thanks for the review, hon. I dunno how much you love the sad chapter
non-damsel- Yah, The OC is probably my second favorite TV show. I have an obsession with the theme song, so I watch it. I'm glad you love my story, I try :)
Oh, the Teen People Awards are on tonight at 8 on FOX. Matt and Evi were up for best chemistry,(YESSS! GO JATE!) and I voted like 4 times for them. Also, Lost is nominated for a bunch of other categories, so ya'll should root for them. I swear, if they don't win best drama...
