AN-Alrighty folks, here it is, Chapter 11. What will happen!? Well, read and find out.

''Shit.'' Katie muttered again.

Charlie sighed and turned away from the eyes of his best friend.

''We should have told him sooner.'' she said.

''We knew what his reaction was gonna be, Kat.'' Charlie reminded her.

''I know it's just-''

''I know.'' he murmured, kissing her forehead, softly.

Katie embraced him tightly.

''I should go talk to him.'' Charlie whispered.

''I'll wait for you outside the locker rooms, kay?''

Charlie nodded. ''You ready for the worst?''

Katie nodded, sadly, and he skated back over to the door, dropping her off. He then kissed her and crossed the now empty ice arena to get to the locker rooms.

The team was unusually quiet, looking from Adam to the door, waiting for the sure to happen blowout. Charlie entered the room and the team looked towards Adam.

Adam pretended not to notice. Charlie sighed and walked over to him.

''Adam.'' he said.

Adam, who was busy changing his shirt, didn't hear him.

''Adam!'' Charlie shouted.

Adam chose to ignore him again, this time placing his skates in his bag.

''Banksie.'' he tried again.

Adam whipped around and glared at him.

''What?'' he demanded.

''Look, I know you're kinda pissed-''

''Kinda?! Kinda pissed?! Oh no, I am way pissed. Charlie, you're supposed to be my best friend!'' Adam shouted.

''I still am.'' Charlie said, calmly.

''No, my best friend would not go after my sister. Damn it Charlie, you know how I am about that! She's my sister, best friends are not supposed to go after little sisters. It's against every rule!''

''Banksie, you're like my brother-''

''So why can't Katie be like your sister?'' he demanded.

Charlie sighed, impatiently.

''You think I didn't know how this was gonna work out? Adam, she's incredible. Can you really blame me for wanting to be with her?'' he asked.

''Yes! Listen to me Charlie, stay the hell away from her.''

Charlie opened his mouth to protest, but Adam stopped him.

''I mean it. If you want to have any hope that we'll be friends again one day, then listen to me. Stay. Away. From. Her.'' he demanded.

''I'm afraid I can't do that Adam.'' Charlie said, quietly.

''Then we're over.'' Adam said.

With a final glare, he walked out of the locker room. Julie shot Charlie an apologetic smile before following her boyfriend. The Ducks all glanced at Charlie, who simply sat down on the bench, his head falling into his hands.

Katie jumped up as the locker room door burst open.

''Char-''

''No, it's not your precious Charlie.'' Adam snapped.

''Adam I-''

''Save it. I don't want your excuses. Just stay away from him.''

Katie glared. ''You can't tell me what to do.''

''Yes I can, I'm your older brother. I already told him to stay away from you.''

''His name is Charlie and he's your best friend.'' snapped Katie.

''Not anymore he's not.'' Adam said.

Katie gasped, looking to Julie for confirmation. She nodded softly.

''Come Katie, we're leaving.'' Adam said.

He left her no choice when he grabbed her arm and tugged her with him.

To Katie's utter embarrassment, Adam brought her back to there dorm room and stayed.

''Adam, I don't need a babysitter.'' Katie said, glaring at him.

She was laying on her bed and he was sitting on Maddie's.

Adam chose to ignore her. causing Katie to get really fed up.

''What is your problem? So I got together with your best friend, big deal. Why are you acting like a jerk?'' she asked.

Adam sighed. ''You don't understand.''

''What? The stupid guy code. Adam, please, don't do this. Don't ruin a great friendship because of this.''

''I'm not the one ruining the friendship.'' Adam said.

Katie sighed, and opened her mouth, ready to retort. She was interrupted when Maddie burst in.

''Adam, Julie's looking for you. It's urgent. She says to meet in your room.'' she said.

Adam sighed. ''Ok, I'll be right back.''

He shot a glance at Katie and left. Katie sighed.

''Thanks for getting rid of him.''

''Ah, I've only worked half my magic.'' Maddie said, holding the door opened.

Charlie walked in. Katie grinned and hurled herself at him.

''I'll leave you two alone.'' Maddie said, slipping outside.

''Charlie, everything is falling apart.'' Katie said.

Charlie hugged her tightly. ''I know, sweetie. I know.''

''Adam says you guys aren't friends anymore.''

Charlie nodded, and Katie groaned, sinking down onto the bed. Charlie sat down next to her, embracing her tightly.

''It's ok Kat. He'll get over his little fit.''

''And what if he doesn't?''

''Then who cares. Kat, come on, we can let him ruin this.'' Charlie murmured.

''I hate knowing that I'm the reason you two aren't friends. That I'm the reason that Adam lost someone like a brother to him.''

Charlie knew what she was gonna do and tried to talk her out of it.

''Kat don't please.''

''Charlie, we can't be together anymore.''

''No, don't do this Katie.'' he said.

Katie looked shocked. ''You never call me Katie.''

''You've never broken up with me.'' Charlie said.

She bit her lip and looked away. ''Please Charlie, go.''

But Charlie wasn't done yet. He embraced her, kissing her forehead lightly.

''Don't do this Kat. You mean so much to me. These past weeks have been incredible.'' he said, softly.

Tears were now streaming down her face. She looked up at him, pleading with her eyes. Charlie sighed and let go, walking over to the door.

''Goodbye Charlie.'' she whispered.

''Goodbye Kat.'' he whispered back.

Then he was gone and she was miserable.

Maddie waited until Charlie left before coming back into the room. Seeing her sobbing friend told Maddie exactly what happened. She quickly sat down next to her and wrapped an arm around her.

''I can't believe you dumped him, Kat.'' Maddie said.

Katie glared at her through watery eyes. ''What would you have done? It's my fault they aren't friends. It's my fault they'll probably never speak to each other again. It's all my fault!''

She started sobbing again and Maddie embraced her tightly.

''Shh, Kat. It's ok. It's not your fault, Adam's being a jerk. He'll come around, he has to. You go ahead and cry, I might join you.'' Katie wiped her eyes and looked up.

''Why?''

''Well, I never did have a good cry over Dean, now did I?'' Maddie asked.

Katie hugged her. ''No you didn't. Go ahead, cry.''

''I have a better idea. Let's go get some ice cream, or something to pig out on. It will be fun!'' Maddie exclaimed.

Katie had to laugh.

The Next Day

Adam stuck to Katie's side all day, annoying her deeply. She kept seeing Charlie all morning. He shot her looks that she tried to ignore.

Finally lunch came around. Katie was able to escape her brother and go to her favorite spot. She pulled out her notebook, the one from Charlie of course, and began to write.

He looked at me
and I had to look away
He tried to smile at me
and it ruined my day

He's crowding around me
the one who caused this pain
I wish he'd leave alone
but his presence doesn't wane

Broken is my Heart
Wet are my Tears
We had to part
My one and only fear

Then she heard it. The footsteps, someone was coming over. Her heart leapt in her chest, pounding hard. How could she look at him, without throwing herself in his arms, begging him to forget what she had done the day before.

She looked up and saw...Adam.

''Hey sis, thought we'd spend lunch hour together.'' he said, sitting down next to her.

Katie looked away, trying to hide the disappointment she felt.

''Fun.'' she muttered.

While Adam tried to start a conversation, Katie blocked him out, looking around. She spotted Charlie, a distance away, looking sadly at her.

She looked away quickly.

Later That Day

Adam was laying on his bed, staring up at the ceiling. Charlie had been sleeping at his mom's place ever since the blowout. He heard a knock on his door.

''Come in!''

Julie entered and he smiled brightly at her.

''Hey Jules, what's up?''

Julie walked over and sank down next to him on the bed.

''Connie invited Guy over to spend the night, so I thought I'd come here. You don't mind, do you?'' Julie asked.

''Never.'' Adam murmured, wrapping her up in his arms.

Julie smiled. ''So, Charlie's not here, huh?''

He sighed. ''I don't want to talk about him.''

''Fine. Can I ask you something?''

Adam nodded.

''Do you love me?'' she asked.

''With all my heart.'' he said, softly.

''If someone told you we couldn't be together, would it kill you?'' she asked.

Adam sighed. ''Julie-''

''Answer the question.'' she said.

''Yes, it would kill me. But he doesn't love her.'' Adam protested.

''How do you know?'' Julie asked.

Adam opened his mouth to answer, but froze.

''Adam, think about. These past few weeks, Charlie's been the happiest person alive. Katie's been smiling, enjoying life again. You see her as your little sister, but Charlie sees her for the beautiful woman she is turning into. He loves her, as much as you love me, maybe even more. She needs him Adam, and I think a part of him needs her too.''

''He's my best friend, she's my sister.'' Adam said, weakly.

''So you can trust him more, can't you? He won't hurt her Adam, you know him. Do you honestly think he'd hurt her?'' Julie asked.

''No, he'd do anything and everything in his power to prevent hurting her.'' he admitted.

Julie smiled, now he was getting it.

''I love you Adam, with all my heart. I love how close you and Katie are. You guys need each other, you watch out for her. You want her to be happy. Charlie makes her happy, '' she paused, putting her hand on his chest, right over his heart, '' I know you'll follow your heart and do the right thing.''

Then Julie snuggled closer to her boyfriend, leaving him to greatly think about the things she said.

The Conway Residence

Charlie quietly helped his mother with the dishes that night. Casey had been observing her son all throughout dinner.

''So, I guess he didn't take it well?'' she asked, softly.

Charlie looked up, surprised.

''Charlie, I was at that game. I saw the same kiss that every other person saw.'' Casey told him.

Charlie blushed, and looked down. Casey smiled. ''You think I didn't see it from the beginning? When she came here on Thanksgiving, I swear I saw a different side of you, honey.''

He smiled. ''No, he didn't take it very well, '' he frowned, ''We're no longer friends. Katie felt it was her fault and ended it.''

Casey sighed and gave her boy a hug.

''Talk to him Charlie, tell him what she means to you. Make him understand how much you love her.''

''I don't love her.'' he protested, weakly.

''Charlie, I've watched you grown up and I've seen you with your girlfriends. Remember last year, Linda?''

Charlie nodded, a quick memory of his ex floating to his mind.

''You loved her sweetie, and I could tell. I think everyone could.''

''She was my first love.'' Charlie recalled fondly.

''When she moved you were devastated. Then Katie came along, and I've seen the changes. You're happier, more outgoing. Charlie, you love her, more then you've ever loved anyone. Make Adam accept it, you're his best friend, give him time. I'm sure he'll come around.''

''I hope so mom.'' Charlie said, quietly.

Casey gave him a reassuring smile. ''You go on, I'll do the rest.''

''Thanks mom. For everything.'' Charlie said, kissing her cheek lightly

He headed to his room, laying down on the bed. He closed his eyes and visions of Katie came from all angles.

He loved her, he had to make Adam understand. He would not let her go.
