Chapter 4

Part 2

"Out of the doubt that fills your mind"

"Fuck," this random girl shouts at me even though it was clearly her fault that she'd run into me. "Watch where you're going," she snapped and my jaw dropped in indignation.

"Maybe you should look in a mirror next time you say that," I replied unoriginally as the girl picked up her empty cup of Starbucks.

She looked up at me from where she was crouching and shot me this disgusting look of disdain.

"Do I know you from somewhere?" I asked examining her as she stood. She seemed all too familiar.

"Like I know," the girl replied bitchily.

I scowled at her unable to help myself I just blurted out the first thing that came to mind. "Wow you really are just a plain old bitch aren't you?"

The girl's jaw dropped. "Honest girl?" she asked her eyes filled with realization.

"Charlie's bitchy sister!" I suddenly shouted excited that I'd finally figured out where I'd met her.

"Oh god you're friends with that damn girl Charlie's dating," she groaned almost as though she suddenly wished to grow a conscience. "I'd almost forgotten he was seeing her."

I shook my head. "No they broke up," I replied blankly.

"I thought he said something about the library..." she said trailing off.

I scrunched my face in confusion. "That must have been someone else. Megan never met Charlie at the library."

The girl gave me a condescending look. "Charlie's my twin brother I think I'd know if he was dating a girl named Megan or not and I know for a fact that he is."

I stepped back slightly floored.

"Are you saying Charlie and Megan got back together?" I asked disbelief written all over my face. "That's not even possible. Meg would have told me."

The girl gave another look and curled her lip at me. "Right. Maybe you're not as good of friends as you thought," she replied somewhat smugly. "I'm sure they're together. No, I'm positive."

I looked down at the ground calculating how that could even be possible. "I have to go to class," I said eventually. I walked off slowly as the bitchy girl looked at me oddly.

It's possible that that girl's crazy. No way Meg would get back with Charlie and not tell me.


"You'll never guess who I just ran into," Tina said sitting down between Charlie and me on the sofa and picking up the remote to change the channel.

"Who?" I asked deciding to play along while Charlie began to whine about her turning off his show.

"That honest girl we met at that one party," she replied to me ignoring Charlie and putting another Friends rerun on.

"Honest girl?" I asked skeptically. "You mean Cam?" My attention was suddenly fully on her.

"Yeah that's the one. Charlie's girlfriend's roommate," Tina said laughing as Matt LeBlanc came out dressed in all of Matthew Perry's clothing.

"Ex girlfriend," Charlie amended quickly.

"But you said that you two met at the library almost two weeks ago, right before the Michigan game," Tina said staring at Charlie oddly.

"Charlie?" I asked looking at him in pure disbelief.

"I told that Cam girl that you and Meg were dating again," Tina said shrugging as if she couldn't care less in the world.

"Shit Tina!" Charlie practically shouted standing from our sofa. "She's gonna talk to Meg and Meg will be so pissed at me!"

"Wait what?" I asked blankly as if I'd missed a serious part in this whole story.

"I was the one that insisted we not tell anyone and now Meg and Cam will fight that Meg didn't tell her and they'll both be pissed at me!" Charlie muttered frustrated while pacing and tugging on his hair.

Tina smiled somewhat maliciously. "Sucks to be you," she practically giggled changing the channel on the TV as it cut to commercial.

"I have to go call her before she talks to Cam!" he said stepping into his bedroom while I followed him.

"So you and Megan are back together?" I asked incredulously as he put down the phone after leaving Megan a message.

Charlie looked at me somewhat angrily. "Yes."

"Since before the Michigan game?"

"Yes," he replied monosyllabically.

"And you never told me?" I asked not anger growing but confusion causing me to raise my voice.

Charlie shrugged awkwardly. "I didn't think it was something you wanted to hear."

I slipped into thought for a second. "So Cam and I fought over something that wasn't even true…" I thought aloud.

"I suppose," Charlie began then cut off. "Wait you and Cam fought about something?"

I chose not to answer.


this one's short but I thought it'd be funny to have Megan and Charlie get back together without Cam and Sean even noticing. I liked the idea of them arguing about something that really didn't matter.
