Part 2: Chapter 4
Jamie and Chuck were at the mall sitting on a bench by the fountain.
"So the movie doesn't start until 3:00?" Jamie asked.
"Yeah," Chuck replied.
"Then why are we here at 11:30?" Jamie asked.
"You're my best friend and I want to hang out with my best friend," Chuck said. "Because you're my best friend."
"Why do you keep repeating best friend?" Jamie asked.
"Because you're my best friend," Chuck replied.
"You're getting repetitive," Jamie said.
"Jamie," Chuck said. "There's something I have to tell you and I understand if you get mad and want to punch me."
"What is it?" Jamie asked.
"I'm breaking up with Lily," Chuck said.
"Why?" Jamie asked.
"Well the thing is…" Chuck said before looking over to see Lily angrily walking towards him.
"Chuck Scolnik!" Lily shouted.
"Oh no," Chuck said nervously.
Chuck stood up and Lily walked over to him.
"Please tell me you're not seeing Beth!" Lily pleaded. "Please tell me Lydia saw someone else making out with her at the library!"
"I'm sorry Lily," Chuck said.
"Why?!" Lily shouted. "Why would you go back to her?!"
"I love her," Chuck said.
"Did you sleep with her?" Lily asked.
"Lily," Chuck said.
"Did you sleep with her?!" Lily screamed.
"Yes," Chuck said.
Lily burst into tears.
"Why Chuck?" Lily sobbed. "Why would you do that?"
"I'm sorry," Chuck said. "I'm so sorry."
"Remember when Beth broke your heart?" Lily sobbed. "And remember how you felt? Well how do you think I feel?"
"Lily please listen," Chuck said.
"No!" Lily shouted. "Never talk to me again!"
Lily shoved Chuck into the fountain and stormed off. Chuck stood up and turned around to see Jamie with an angry look on his face.
"Jamie?" Chuck asked.
Jamie punched Chuck as hard as he could and Chuck fell back into the fountain. Chuck stood up and Jamie angrily looked at him.
"How could you do that to my cousin?!" Jamie shouted. "I thought you were my best friend!"
"I am your best friend," Chuck said.
"No your not!" Jamie shouted. "You can't be my best friend! My best friend would never break my cousin's heart!"
"Jamie," Chuck said. "I'm sorry. Please, you're my best friend."
"No," Jamie said. "Our friendship is over."
Later, Chris was sitting on the couch. Chuck walked in through the front door and Chris turned around.
"You didn't go see the movie with Jamie?" Chris asked.
Chuck turned around and Chris saw he had a black eye.
"Chuck?" Chris asked concerned.
Chris stood up and walked over to Chuck.
"Chris," Chuck sobbed. "Can you please not say I told you so?"
"Oh no," Chris said.
Chris hugged Chuck tightly.
"It's okay," Chris said softly. "It's okay."
