Hiding the Truth

Chapter 2 "My happy ending"

NOTE: Charlie taught Claire to play the guitar...

Kate watched as Claire walked away. "Claire, I-" Kate began. "Save it, Kate. I hate you as much as Charlie." Claire said, walking away. "Charlie! I've had it with Claire. How about we make her jealous?" Kate said. "I don't know..." Charlie said, sitting down. "How are you going to make her jealous anyway?" Charlie asked. "I'll tell you later. " Kate said, walking away.

Charlie wondered where his guitar was. "Oh, Darn, I left it in her shelter... It used to be our shelter... We used to be us...." Charlie thought to himself. Then he heard the strumming of a guitar. Her heard Claire singing. Charlie wanted to get closer, to hear what she was singing. He got slightly closer, to his unpleasant suprise, he heard the song he hated most, the song, his really old girlfriend played when they broke up.

He heard very little of it because he was so far away.

We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
And all of the memories, so close to me, just fade away...

That's all he heard. Then he got closer, just in time to hear the worst part of the song...

All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...

You've got your dumb friends
I know what they say
They tell you I'm difficult
But so are they
But they don't know me
Do they even know you?
All the things you hide from me
All the shit that you do

Tears spilled down his face. Claire heard his crys and came out. "Why were you listening to me?" She asked. "I had hope, Claire! I had hope for us." Charlie said. "No." She said. Charlie walked away.

"Charlie, You okay?" Kate asked, running up to him. "Ya, I'm fine. Now what was that plan to make Claire jealous?" He asked. "Okay here's the plan..."
