Note to my Reviews:
C-chan96: AHH I love you too. We haven't seen each other lately and that is really depressing me. We need to get together soon. Anyways I am glad you liked the story and the song. The flashbacks were fun, even thought they were depressing. I'll tell you about the rest later since we have both forgotten to bring it up. LOL Like the quotes their great. Well I'll talk to you soon.
Banksiesbabe99: I'm glad you liked the chapter. As for The Phantom, go get it at a music store or somewhere but make sure you get the original cast with Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman. It is better with them. The story of the Phantom is absolutely awesome and the whole thing isn't all that depressing just that part. It is really a love story. But I'm not going to get completely started on that cause I could talk about Phantom for another five or six pages. LOL. So if you want to talk to me about it or have me tell you some more information about it email me. My email address is lizgail2003@hotmail.com. I'll be glad to tell you more about it. Anyways thanks for reviewing, I'm glad you liked it and please review if you can. Talk to you soon.
Charlie was woken up early the next morning to Julie walking in to his room. He set up a little bit and turned the lam on, and quickly knew that something was wrong with her.
"Julie, angel, what's the matter?" he asked her gently.
"Daddy hates me, he won't talk to me or look at me anymore." She told him, looking down at her feet.
"Julie come here baby." He said to her pulling himself up completely and moving over so that she could sit down next to him. She walked over to his bed and set down next to him, and was immediately enveloped into his arms and pulled to closer to him. She curled up next to him and buried her head in his chest.
"Julie you may not believe this, but your dad doesn't hate you. He is upset because he lost his wife and angry at the world because of it. I know it isn't fair, but that is why hi is treating you this way. " He told her, "It's going to be ok, I promise. It's going to be hard because he is going to continue this but you'll get through it, and I'll always be here to help you when you need me ok?" He told her rubbing her back.
Julie couldn't respond because she had started crying harder when she cuddled up to him a few minutes before, he just nodded. Charlie kissed her forehead and continued to rub her back. After awhile she was able to stop crying and calm down a little. He pulled her up a little bit so that he could see her and smiled reassuringly at her.
"You feel any better Julie?" He asked her.
"Yea, a little." She said.
"That's good." He said kissing her forehead again. "Do you want to stay in here or do you want to go back into your room?"
"I want to stay in here." She said cuddling closer to him.
"Ok, that's fine." He said gently scooting down so that they were both laying down.
As soon as she was lying down, Julie was fast asleep. Charlie watched her sleep for a little while before he to went to sleep.
The next morning Charlie woke up a few minutes before Julie and laid with his arm wrapped around her playing with her long blond hair. As he did this she started waking up, she buried her head in his chest before opening her eyes and looking at him. He gave her a encouraging smile and raised his head up a little bit so that he could kiss her forehead. She smiled back at him and laid her head back on his chest.
"Hey Julie, how'd ya sleep?" He asked her playing with her hair again.
"Great, after I came in here." She told him and smiled.
"That's great." He told her smiling again.
"Yea." She said in a halfhearted way like only she can do and he laughed.
"Want to go see if there is anything to eat? I'm hungry." He said still laughing a little bit.
"That sounds like a great idea." She said grinning at him.
"Ok then, let's go." He said and they both got up and left the room.
They walked to the living room to see if anyone was in there, but there wasn't so they went to the kitchen to get something to eat. When they got in there they found Mr. Gaffney in there eating some toast and reading the newspaper. He looked up to see who had walked in and when he realized it was Julie he just acted like she wasn't there and went back to his newspaper. Julie started to say something but changed her mind and decided to act like she didn't notice that he ignored her. She went to the refrigerator and got out some milk and then opened the freezer and got some waffles and puts them in the toaster. She then goes back to the refrigerator and got the butter and syrup out. After she had gotten everything out they waffles popped up and she got them out, buttered them and put syrup on them. When she finished that she turned and gave Charlie a plate and set down next to him. Just before she started to eat her dad put his newspaper down and looked at her for the first time since after the funeral.
"Julie, I need to talk to you in my office." He said starting to get up.
"Ok." She said, "Can I finish eating first?"
"No and don't get rude with me." He told her.
"But dad, I just sat down, couldn't you wait tell after I eat?" Julie said getting mad since she had just set down.
"NO JULIE!! I said now, and I mean now." He yelled at her.
Julie cringed he had never yelled at her like that. She got up and pushed her waffles to Charlie cause she had a feeling she wasn't going to feel like eating afterwards. She then followed her dad into his office, still feeling confused about why he wanted to talk to her.
Meanwhile Charlie had stopped eating, he was to worried about Julie to really want to eat. He got up and ran to where he knew Jason's room was and knocked on his door.
"Jason, man open up!!!" Charlie said sounding panicked.
Jason came to the door a couple minutes later and opened it up. He saw the look on Charlie's face and opened the door a little wider to let him in.
"Charlie what's wrong?" Jason asked him.
"Julie and I went into the kitchen and made some waffles for break feast and your dad was in there. He ignored us and read his paper until we set down, and then when we set down and went to start eating he told Julie he wanted to talk to her and got up. She asked if she could eat first and he started yelling at her. She looked scared and got up and followed him into the office. That is when I came in here." Charlie told him.
"OH God what is he going to yell at her about now?" he asked more to his self, then looked at Charlie, "Come on man lets go wait at the door for her."
"Ok." Charlie said and they left Jason's room and walked to the door of Jason's dad's office to listen.
*** Inside the Office***
"So daddy what did you want to talk about?" Julie asked when her and her dad got in the office.
"There are a couple things. First of all I didn't appreciate you announcing to the crowd about the fact that you are dating someone. It was very inconsiderate of you." He told her and her jaw dropped.
"But daddy, as I said I had promised Mamma that I would tell her when we got together. I hadn't gotten the chance to before. I didn't want her to be were I couldn't see when I told her. I was just making sure I didn't break my promise." She said trying not to start crying.
"I don't care it wasn't very respectable, you could have done it before, when no one was there." He said sternly.
"But daddy, it wouldn't have been the same. I was telling about a memory like Jason had been doing before me. I was telling them about the conversation I had with mamma when I was home about three months ago. That is why I said it then, instead of before the funeral." She said trying to get her father to understand her.
"Whatever, I didn't appreciate it, I really don't thing you should be going out with him." He said.
"WHAT!!" She yelled, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON"T THINK I SHOULD BE GOING OUT WITH HIM. YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW HIM!!!!!"
"JULIE ANN GAFFNEY DON"T YOU DARE RASE YOUR VOICE TO ME LIKE THAT YOUNG LADY!!!!" He screamed back at her making her take a step back away from him.
"You don't know him. He is sweet, gentle, and protective. Use to that would have made you really happy to know that someone was protective of you little princess. But I guess that's not true anymore, hug?" She said coldly, " He was the one that was there when I was told about mamma. He held me in the locker room and let me cry. He went with me to the hospital when I came to see you, and held me when you pushed me away cause you were and still are blaming me for the accident. He freaking came here with me to support me. I couldn't ask for a better boyfriend, cause there isn't one, and I don't know why you don't think we should be together." She said tears streaming down her checks.
"Well he might have done all that stuff for you, but I still don't think you two should be together. " He said sternly.
"Mamma liked him daddy. Doesn't that mean something to you. She never liked any of my boyfriends, but she liked Charlie. Doesn't that tell you something that she liked him?" She asked him softly.
"Doesn't matter now does it?" He asked.
"DADDY!! Why are you like this? Ever since the wreck you have hated me. Don't you see that I need you. Don't you!!" She yelled.
"No I don't!! Because you don't need me what you need to realize is that you were the one that caused this to happen. Because you asked us to come and see one of your games." He said coldly causing her to brake down crying.
"THATS NOT TRUE!" She cried, "Yes I did really want you come, and yes I did ask you. But daddy it wasn't my fault that someone decided to drink and drive that night. IT'S NOT MY FAULT" She cried
"Then why is your mother dead right now." He asked her coldly.
"Because, you were at the wrong place at the wrong time." She said.
"All because you wanted us to come." He snapped.
"NO!! Not all because I wanted you to come. Ya'll decided to come see me that night. It wasn't my idea for you to come to a away game. I figured you would go to a home game, which would have been easier. But I'm not blaming it on you, I blame it on the guy that was drunk that hit you. SO WHY CAN"T YOU!!!!" She snapped.
"Because I don't see it as being his fault. Yes he is the one that killed her, but you are the one that asked us to come." He said again rudely.
"YOU COULD HAVE SAID NO!! I would have understood." She said, "Or you could have gone to a different game. Like a home game maybe."
He didn't say anything to that but just stared at her trying to intimidate her. But her being a goalie it didn't work. She instead stared right back at him for a few minutes.
"Dad, I planned on staying here for a few days after the funeral because I wanted to spend some time with you and Jason. But I'm starting to think that isn't such a good idea. Because all you do is either ignore me or yell at me. I really need you, or thought I needed you, but you know what if you are going to treat me like shit, I have other people that I can lean on for support. So if you don't mind, I'm going to go tell the others to pack and call my coach to see if he can get us a earlier flight." She said starting to leave.
But before she could open the door he reached out and grabbed her arm twirling her around to face him and pushing her up against the wall. She gave out a little cry, but didn't say anything. All she did was stare at her dad with hatred.
"I'm not throw with you yet, Julie." He snapped at her.
"That's funny cause it sure seemed that you were." She said sarcastically.
"Don't get smart with me Julie." He said. "Where were you last night?"
"What do you mean I was right here in the house?" She said confused.
"I went by your room last night and saw that your door was opened and that you weren't in there. So I ask you once again, where were you last night?" He told her.
" I was in Charlie's room." She told him.
"WHY YOU LITTLE SLUT. YOU SLEEPED WITH HIM RIGHT UNDER MY NOSE!!!" He yelled in her face and she cringed cause it had been so loud in her ear.
"No dad I didn't sleep with him, like you are thinking. Charlie wouldn't do that, he respects me to much. I was upset I went to his room. He talked to me and made me fell better and after he made me fell better I didn't want to go back to my room so he let me stay with him and we went to sleep." She told him simply.
"Yea right! I bet I know how he made you feel better. I want you and your friends out of here, tonight!!" He yelled at her, opened the door and pushed her out.
"But dad, I'm telling the truth all he did was hold me and let me cry. I swear!!" She said crying harder as he pushed her out.
"I don't care, you out of here tonight!!" He yelled walked back in his office and slammed the door.
Not realizing that Charlie and Jason were out there she slipped down the wall to the floor, pulling her legs up to her chest and burring her face in her hands and cried.
Charlie looked at Jason and they slowly walked over to her. Jason set down next to her on the floor and pulled her into his lap, while Charlie set on her other side and rubbed her back.
She looked up and saw who was holding her and jumped,
"Jason, I swear we didn't do anything. Please don't be mad at Charlie. I don't think I could take that right now." She said crying.
"SHH!! I know you didn't do anything. Charlie and I were right here the whole time. When you started talking about that he yelled at you Charlie turned to me and told me about the whole time. It's ok, I'm not mad at you or Charlie. I'm just worried about you. He was pretty ruff on you." He said pulling her closer to him and rocking her.
"He wants me to leave Jason. He won't even let me explain to him." She cried, "It's not fair!!"
"Shh. I know, I know. It's going to be ok. I promise." He told her.
"Really?" She said sounding horrible.
"Yes Jules. Speaking as your big brother that always takes care of you, I really promise." He told her sincerely.
She just nodded and reached up and whipped some of her tears off her face.
"Charlie why don't you take her to her room and put her in bed. Then go tell the others to start packing. You might need to pack, you and Julie's stuff. I don't think she is going to feel like it." Jason told Charlie gently handing her to him. "I'm going to go call your coach."
"Ok sounds like a deal to me." He said before standing up and pulling Julie up with him.
He let go of her for a minute so that he could stand up completely and she sunk back down to the floor crying. When he saw her do this he just bent down and gently picked her up and carried her to her room. He pulled back the covers and gently placed her on the bed. He didn't want to leave her just then so he set down on the bed next to her and picked up her hand. She turned her head and looked at him and what he saw broke his heart. She had tears running down her face, and her eyes were all swollen and blood shot. He reached out and whipped some of the tears off her face and gave here a reassuring smile.
"I'll be ok baby, your big brother and I am going to take care of you." He told her gently. "But right now I got to go talk to Connie and Guy. But I promise I will be right back. Ok?" He asked and she nodded slowly.
"Ok, I'll be right back." He said bending down and giving her a gently kiss on her forehead. He got up and covered her up before heading to Connie's room.
However, he found Connie just outside of Julie's room. When he saw her he sighed out of relief because he didn't have to leave Julie for long.
"Oh thank God your here. Listen I need you to go and get Guy and tell him to get his stuff packed and then go and get your stuff packed, because we're leaving today." Charlie told her.
"Why?" Connie asked confused.
"Well I don't want to get into it to much, but Julie and her dad got into a horrible fight and he told her he wanted her to leave." Charlie explained.
"OMG!!! That is horrible. How is she doing?" She asked him worried about her best friend.
"Not real well, what with what she was going through with the funeral and all." Charlie said. "She was miserable before, but now, after the fight and him telling her to leave has made it worst."
"That's horrible. Go back to her Charlie. Guy and I will get packed." Connie said.
"thanks Connie, I am going to get us packed." He told her, "But don't worry I'm not going to leave her long. It'll only take me a few minutes to get my stuff packed and even then I'll be right next door to her."
"I know your not going to leave her long." Connie said.
She then turned away and walked back towards her and Guys rooms to tell Guy that they were leaving and that they needed to pack.
Charlie watched her go before he went back to Julie. He found that she had fallen fast asleep while he was gone. He smiled at the sight glad to see that he was getting some sleep. He bent down and brought the covers over her and kissed her check.
"That's a girl, get some sleep. You haven't gotten much in the past week." He said softly. I'm going to stay with you but I have to get us packed and ready to leave. So I'm going to go to my room and get my stuff ready and then come back and get your stuff packed. But don't worry, I am just going next door I'll be able to hear you if you need me and I wont be that long. I know you don't know what I'm saying since you are asleep, but I wanted to say that anyways."
He watched her for a few minutes before going to his room to pack. It only took him about ten minutes to get his stuff ready. After he got done he brought his bag to Julie's room so that he could get started packing her stuff.
However when he got in there he found Connie, Guy, and Jason in ther and her bag was already ready.
"Hey guys did you get her stuff packed?" He asked pointing to her bag.
"Yea I did, I got in here first and saw that you weren't here and decided that I would help and get her packed while I waited for you guys to get back." Connie told him.
"Thanks Connie." Charlie said and then looked at Julie and smiled seeing that she was still asleep, " She's still asleep"
"Yep." Connie said softly and leaned against Guy.
Charlie walked over to her bed and watched her for a few minutes and then turned to Jason.
" Do did you talk to couch?" He asked him.
"Yea I did, your flight leaves in about two hours. So we need to wake her up and get going so that we can get your tickets and get you to the gate in time." He told them.
Charlie nodded and turned around back to Julie and set down next to her. HE reached ot and touched her face and rubbed her check. She sighed and leaned her head into his hand. He smiled and kept rubbing her check. She slowly stated waking up and whimpered.
"Shh it's ok. But you do need to wake up and get dressed cause we're going home in about two hours. We need to leave in about fifteen minutes so that we can get our tickets and our bags checked in." He told her helping her sit up.
"But I got to get packed, and dressed, that's going to take more that fifteen minutes." She said panicking.
"No you don't sweetie. Connie did that for you" He told her. "All you have to do is go get dressed."
"Oh ok." She said happy that she didn't have to get packed.
She then got up and got the close that she wanted to wear and went to the bathroom to change. Charlie watched her leave and sighed. He was secretly happy taht they were going home today because he thought that it would be better for her to be around her friends. He also wished that she would tell the rest of the team because he knew that they would be able to help her throw this.
He was brought out of his thoughts when she came back into her room and Jason announced that they needed to go.
Julie quickly got her stuff and walked out of the house followed by the rest. It was very obvious that she wasn't unhappy about leaving.
They got into the car and started on their way to the airport. It took them about twenty minutes to get there and parked. About twenty minutes after they got there they were checked in with their tickets and at their Gate.
Since they had a little over an hour left before they started loading Jason asked them if they wanted something to eat. They all nodded and told him what they wanted. Guy decided that he would go with him and help him since that was a lot of food for one person to have to carry by their self.
They came back about fifteen minutes later loaded down with food and drinks. When everyone got their food they set down and ate in silence. About thirty minutes later they announced that they would be starting boarding soon.
Julie was exited about going back, but she was also sad that she had to leave her brother. Jason seeing that his baby sister was went over to her and gave her a hug.
"don't worry about it Julie. You need to get away from dad and the way he is treating you. I think you being away from him will be good for you. You can start healing emotionally from the way he has been treating you and from what you have been through in the past week." He told her.
" I don't know if I can get over mamma's death." She told him.
" I don't expect you to Julie. But I'm talking about the way dad has been treating you." Jason said rubbing her back.
" Oh ok, I knew that. It's probably going to take a while but I have my friends to help me throw it. Well the ones that know about it anyways." She said softly.
"Yes you do." He said, " Charlie told me that you didn't want to tell the rest of the team. I know you have some other good friends, like Portman and Fulton, among others and I am pretty sure that they could help you also. Promise me that you will think about telling them Jules?"
Julie looked at him for a few seconds and then nodded, " Ok Jason, I promise that I will think about telling the rest of the team. But if I don't I'm not telling Averman, his a ass hole."
Jason laughed, "Ok Julie, I can deal with that."
He then hugged her one more time and rubbed her back. Right after he let go of her they announced that they were now boarding. He rubbed her check and smiled at her.
"Well Julie, I guess it's time for you to go and board the plane. Call me when you et home and some time soon I'll come and see you. Ok?" He told her.
She nodded and looked down, " Ok but I'll miss you Jason."
"I know Julie, I'll miss you also. But like I said, I'll come and see you soon. Now go before you miss your plane." He said pulling her head up so he could see her and gave her a encouraging smile. He then gave her one last hug before he gently pushed her towards Charlie and the plane.
When she got back to Charlie she didn't look back she just went straight to the gate and handed the person her ticket, Connie and Guy right behind them. They boarded the plane and found where their seats were and set down. Nothing was said they just set there in silence glad that they were going home.
Soon the plane started taxiing to the runway, and as they were taking off Julie was making a decision that she had wished she had made several days ago.
OK well that is it for now, I hope you enjoyed it and please review if you can, your reviews help me stayed inspired for this story. Thanks and talk to you soon. The next chapter should be the start of the story getting happier.
Oh and one more thing, I may be coming back and doing some more work on this chapter. But I am not sure if I need to. Could you please tell me in your review what you think I should do? Thanks talk to you later.

"JULIE ANN GAFFNEY DON"T YOU DARE RASE YOUR VOICE TO ME LIKE THAT YOUNG LADY!!!!" He screamed back at her making her take a step back away from him.
"You don't know him. He is sweet, gentle, and protective. Use to that would have made you really happy to know that someone was protective of you little princess. But I guess that's not true anymore, hug?" She said coldly, " He was the one that was there when I was told about mamma. He held me in the locker room and let me cry. He went with me to the hospital when I came to see you, and held me when you pushed me away cause you were and still are blaming me for the accident. He freaking came here with me to support me. I couldn't ask for a better boyfriend, cause there isn't one, and I don't know why you don't think we should be together." She said tears streaming down her checks.
"Well he might have done all that stuff for you, but I still don't think you two should be together. " He said sternly.
"Mamma liked him daddy. Doesn't that mean something to you. She never liked any of my boyfriends, but she liked Charlie. Doesn't that tell you something that she liked him?" She asked him softly.
"Doesn't matter now does it?" He asked.
"DADDY!! Why are you like this? Ever since the wreck you have hated me. Don't you see that I need you. Don't you!!" She yelled.
"No I don't!! Because you don't need me what you need to realize is that you were the one that caused this to happen. Because you asked us to come and see one of your games." He said coldly causing her to brake down crying.
"THATS NOT TRUE!" She cried, "Yes I did really want you come, and yes I did ask you. But daddy it wasn't my fault that someone decided to drink and drive that night. IT'S NOT MY FAULT" She cried
"Then why is your mother dead right now." He asked her coldly.
"Because, you were at the wrong place at the wrong time." She said.
"All because you wanted us to come." He snapped.
"NO!! Not all because I wanted you to come. Ya'll decided to come see me that night. It wasn't my idea for you to come to a away game. I figured you would go to a home game, which would have been easier. But I'm not blaming it on you, I blame it on the guy that was drunk that hit you. SO WHY CAN"T YOU!!!!" She snapped.
"Because I don't see it as being his fault. Yes he is the one that killed her, but you are the one that asked us to come." He said again rudely.
"YOU COULD HAVE SAID NO!! I would have understood." She said, "Or you could have gone to a different game. Like a home game maybe."
He didn't say anything to that but just stared at her trying to intimidate her. But her being a goalie it didn't work. She instead stared right back at him for a few minutes.
"Dad, I planned on staying here for a few days after the funeral because I wanted to spend some time with you and Jason. But I'm starting to think that isn't such a good idea. Because all you do is either ignore me or yell at me. I really need you, or thought I needed you, but you know what if you are going to treat me like shit, I have other people that I can lean on for support. So if you don't mind, I'm going to go tell the others to pack and call my coach to see if he can get us a earlier flight." She said starting to leave.
But before she could open the door he reached out and grabbed her arm twirling her around to face him and pushing her up against the wall. She gave out a little cry, but didn't say anything. All she did was stare at her dad with hatred.
"I'm not throw with you yet, Julie." He snapped at her.
"That's funny cause it sure seemed that you were." She said sarcastically.
"Don't get smart with me Julie." He said. "Where were you last night?"
"What do you mean I was right here in the house?" She said confused.
"I went by your room last night and saw that your door was opened and that you weren't in there. So I ask you once again, where were you last night?" He told her.
" I was in Charlie's room." She told him.
"WHY YOU LITTLE SLUT. YOU SLEEPED WITH HIM RIGHT UNDER MY NOSE!!!" He yelled in her face and she cringed cause it had been so loud in her ear.
"No dad I didn't sleep with him, like you are thinking. Charlie wouldn't do that, he respects me to much. I was upset I went to his room. He talked to me and made me fell better and after he made me fell better I didn't want to go back to my room so he let me stay with him and we went to sleep." She told him simply.
"Yea right! I bet I know how he made you feel better. I want you and your friends out of here, tonight!!" He yelled at her, opened the door and pushed her out.
"But dad, I'm telling the truth all he did was hold me and let me cry. I swear!!" She said crying harder as he pushed her out.
"I don't care, you out of here tonight!!" He yelled walked back in his office and slammed the door.
Not realizing that Charlie and Jason were out there she slipped down the wall to the floor, pulling her legs up to her chest and burring her face in her hands and cried.
Charlie looked at Jason and they slowly walked over to her. Jason set down next to her on the floor and pulled her into his lap, while Charlie set on her other side and rubbed her back.
She looked up and saw who was holding her and jumped,
"Jason, I swear we didn't do anything. Please don't be mad at Charlie. I don't think I could take that right now." She said crying.
"SHH!! I know you didn't do anything. Charlie and I were right here the whole time. When you started talking about that he yelled at you Charlie turned to me and told me about the whole time. It's ok, I'm not mad at you or Charlie. I'm just worried about you. He was pretty ruff on you." He said pulling her closer to him and rocking her.
"He wants me to leave Jason. He won't even let me explain to him." She cried, "It's not fair!!"
"Shh. I know, I know. It's going to be ok. I promise." He told her.
"Really?" She said sounding horrible.
"Yes Jules. Speaking as your big brother that always takes care of you, I really promise." He told her sincerely.
She just nodded and reached up and whipped some of her tears off her face.
"Charlie why don't you take her to her room and put her in bed. Then go tell the others to start packing. You might need to pack, you and Julie's stuff. I don't think she is going to feel like it." Jason told Charlie gently handing her to him. "I'm going to go call your coach."
"Ok sounds like a deal to me." He said before standing up and pulling Julie up with him.
He let go of her for a minute so that he could stand up completely and she sunk back down to the floor crying. When he saw her do this he just bent down and gently picked her up and carried her to her room. He pulled back the covers and gently placed her on the bed. He didn't want to leave her just then so he set down on the bed next to her and picked up her hand. She turned her head and looked at him and what he saw broke his heart. She had tears running down her face, and her eyes were all swollen and blood shot. He reached out and whipped some of the tears off her face and gave here a reassuring smile.
"I'll be ok baby, your big brother and I am going to take care of you." He told her gently. "But right now I got to go talk to Connie and Guy. But I promise I will be right back. Ok?" He asked and she nodded slowly.
"Ok, I'll be right back." He said bending down and giving her a gently kiss on her forehead. He got up and covered her up before heading to Connie's room.
However, he found Connie just outside of Julie's room. When he saw her he sighed out of relief because he didn't have to leave Julie for long.
"Oh thank God your here. Listen I need you to go and get Guy and tell him to get his stuff packed and then go and get your stuff packed, because we're leaving today." Charlie told her.
"Why?" Connie asked confused.
"Well I don't want to get into it to much, but Julie and her dad got into a horrible fight and he told her he wanted her to leave." Charlie explained.
"OMG!!! That is horrible. How is she doing?" She asked him worried about her best friend.
"Not real well, what with what she was going through with the funeral and all." Charlie said. "She was miserable before, but now, after the fight and him telling her to leave has made it worst."
"That's horrible. Go back to her Charlie. Guy and I will get packed." Connie said.
"thanks Connie, I am going to get us packed." He told her, "But don't worry I'm not going to leave her long. It'll only take me a few minutes to get my stuff packed and even then I'll be right next door to her."
"I know your not going to leave her long." Connie said.
She then turned away and walked back towards her and Guys rooms to tell Guy that they were leaving and that they needed to pack.
Charlie watched her go before he went back to Julie. He found that she had fallen fast asleep while he was gone. He smiled at the sight glad to see that he was getting some sleep. He bent down and brought the covers over her and kissed her check.
"That's a girl, get some sleep. You haven't gotten much in the past week." He said softly. I'm going to stay with you but I have to get us packed and ready to leave. So I'm going to go to my room and get my stuff ready and then come back and get your stuff packed. But don't worry, I am just going next door I'll be able to hear you if you need me and I wont be that long. I know you don't know what I'm saying since you are asleep, but I wanted to say that anyways."
He watched her for a few minutes before going to his room to pack. It only took him about ten minutes to get his stuff ready. After he got done he brought his bag to Julie's room so that he could get started packing her stuff.
However when he got in there he found Connie, Guy, and Jason in ther and her bag was already ready.
"Hey guys did you get her stuff packed?" He asked pointing to her bag.
"Yea I did, I got in here first and saw that you weren't here and decided that I would help and get her packed while I waited for you guys to get back." Connie told him.
"Thanks Connie." Charlie said and then looked at Julie and smiled seeing that she was still asleep, " She's still asleep"
"Yep." Connie said softly and leaned against Guy.
Charlie walked over to her bed and watched her for a few minutes and then turned to Jason.
" Do did you talk to couch?" He asked him.
"Yea I did, your flight leaves in about two hours. So we need to wake her up and get going so that we can get your tickets and get you to the gate in time." He told them.
Charlie nodded and turned around back to Julie and set down next to her. HE reached ot and touched her face and rubbed her check. She sighed and leaned her head into his hand. He smiled and kept rubbing her check. She slowly stated waking up and whimpered.
"Shh it's ok. But you do need to wake up and get dressed cause we're going home in about two hours. We need to leave in about fifteen minutes so that we can get our tickets and our bags checked in." He told her helping her sit up.
"But I got to get packed, and dressed, that's going to take more that fifteen minutes." She said panicking.
"No you don't sweetie. Connie did that for you" He told her. "All you have to do is go get dressed."
"Oh ok." She said happy that she didn't have to get packed.
She then got up and got the close that she wanted to wear and went to the bathroom to change. Charlie watched her leave and sighed. He was secretly happy taht they were going home today because he thought that it would be better for her to be around her friends. He also wished that she would tell the rest of the team because he knew that they would be able to help her throw this.
He was brought out of his thoughts when she came back into her room and Jason announced that they needed to go.
Julie quickly got her stuff and walked out of the house followed by the rest. It was very obvious that she wasn't unhappy about leaving.
They got into the car and started on their way to the airport. It took them about twenty minutes to get there and parked. About twenty minutes after they got there they were checked in with their tickets and at their Gate.
Since they had a little over an hour left before they started loading Jason asked them if they wanted something to eat. They all nodded and told him what they wanted. Guy decided that he would go with him and help him since that was a lot of food for one person to have to carry by their self.
They came back about fifteen minutes later loaded down with food and drinks. When everyone got their food they set down and ate in silence. About thirty minutes later they announced that they would be starting boarding soon.
Julie was exited about going back, but she was also sad that she had to leave her brother. Jason seeing that his baby sister was went over to her and gave her a hug.
"don't worry about it Julie. You need to get away from dad and the way he is treating you. I think you being away from him will be good for you. You can start healing emotionally from the way he has been treating you and from what you have been through in the past week." He told her.
" I don't know if I can get over mamma's death." She told him.
" I don't expect you to Julie. But I'm talking about the way dad has been treating you." Jason said rubbing her back.
" Oh ok, I knew that. It's probably going to take a while but I have my friends to help me throw it. Well the ones that know about it anyways." She said softly.
"Yes you do." He said, " Charlie told me that you didn't want to tell the rest of the team. I know you have some other good friends, like Portman and Fulton, among others and I am pretty sure that they could help you also. Promise me that you will think about telling them Jules?"
Julie looked at him for a few seconds and then nodded, " Ok Jason, I promise that I will think about telling the rest of the team. But if I don't I'm not telling Averman, his a ass hole."
Jason laughed, "Ok Julie, I can deal with that."
He then hugged her one more time and rubbed her back. Right after he let go of her they announced that they were now boarding. He rubbed her check and smiled at her.
"Well Julie, I guess it's time for you to go and board the plane. Call me when you et home and some time soon I'll come and see you. Ok?" He told her.
She nodded and looked down, " Ok but I'll miss you Jason."
"I know Julie, I'll miss you also. But like I said, I'll come and see you soon. Now go before you miss your plane." He said pulling her head up so he could see her and gave her a encouraging smile. He then gave her one last hug before he gently pushed her towards Charlie and the plane.
When she got back to Charlie she didn't look back she just went straight to the gate and handed the person her ticket, Connie and Guy right behind them. They boarded the plane and found where their seats were and set down. Nothing was said they just set there in silence glad that they were going home.
Soon the plane started taxiing to the runway, and as they were taking off Julie was making a decision that she had wished she had made several days ago.
