Sunlight beamed through the bedroom window. Hugo groaned, cursing himself for not shutting the curtain the night before. He sat up slowly, and closed his eyes to shield from the bright sun. A yawn escaped his lips as he swung his legs off the bed. The sheets rustled quietly as Hugo stood up; he opened his right eye just enough to see where the curtain to close it. As he sat back down, he looked over to his sister's bed. She was asleep with her knees pulled to her chest, against the wall, in sitting position. He knew she would complain about that when she woke up. The twin smiled as he remembered the first time she had fallen asleep like that. They were six years old, and their old beagle, Chip, had run away from home. Charlie had paced around their room for an hour, only stopping once to go to the bathroom. When it had come time for them to go to bed, she had attempted to stay awake by pulling her legs up to her chest, but soon sleep overtook her. Charlie slept like that whenever she was stressed. He started to wonder why she slept like that last night. The boy yawned again, and decide not to go back to bed. He stood up slowly and walked to the door leading out the hallway. Hugo opened it gingerly, stepped out into the hallway, and closed it as carefully as he had opened it. He walked down the steps to the kitchen, where his mother sat on one of the bar stool, asleep, her head resting on the counter. walked over to her and shook her a little.

"mom?" He whispered "Mom?" He ask with a little more force. She raised her head, and grunted, eyes slightly opened . "Mom, why are you home?" He asked, hoping to keep her awake. She opened her eyes a bit more "Oh, I was waiting for Charlie." She said matter of factly.

Hugo tilted his head to the side a little "What do you mean? Charlie is upstairs."


-The Night Before-

Charlie sighed and stood up. "Mom, I'm going out." she said coldly, and walked to bowl where her car keys were. Veronica followed her daughter.

"Charlie, no. We need to talk. It wasn't his fault." Charlie turned to her mother. A chill ran down Veronica's spine, the look of cold, dead, anger the girl had given her mother, she had only seen once before. On the face of Jason Dean himself. Veronica froze.

"Mom, I am going out and I will be back soon. I just need sometime to think." She opened the door and stepped into the cold air. She marched to her car and opened the driver's door. Angrily, she climbed into her car, and cranked it. Tears of anger and betrayal streamed down her face as the car pulled out of the driveway. A anger she had never felt before filled her, it scared her a little. It felt like an inky blackness, seeping through her, consuming every emotion, leaving nothing. She drove for an hour, all round Sherwood, just crying, and praying for the emptiness to stop. The girl stopped at the 7-Eleven at the edge of town to get gas. Charlie took a deep breath, wiped her eyes, and tried her best to look like she hadn't been sobbing for a hour. As she got out to pump gas, someone in a black coverable pulled up to the storefront. Margo climbed out, her hair windswept, which only made her more beautiful. The feeling started to leave as she watched the girl walk into the store. Charlie swore at the gas pump for not going faster. She quickly finished paying for the gas, and almost sprinted inside. The bell ring as she open the door, and Margo locked eyes with the other girl.

"Well, what in the hell are you doing out this late?" She asked walking over to her.

Charlie laughed "I can't really answer that right now."

Margo lifted one of her eyebrows and chuckled "Hey, I thought being mysterious was my job?" The twin chuckled "Oh, can I get you anything Turbo Dog, Corn Nuts, Slushie?" Margo ask stepping back and motioning to the whole store as if she was offering it to her.

Charlie laughed "You know, I would kill for some fake ass nachos and a Mountain Dew."

"Well, I can help you there." The taller girl chuckled. Margo walked over to the nacho counter, while Charlie walked over to the drink cooler. They met back at the pay counter, where Margo's Skittles and Coke sat. Charlie reached for her wallet, Margo held up her hand "My treat. You look like you've had a hard night." Charlie had almost forgotten at that she looked like hell. She looked at the glass counter as Margo payed and got a small reflection of herself. Her eyes were red and puffy, and she looked exhausted. Not realizing that polite small talk had stopped, and the Margo cleared her throat, and held out the Mountain Dew of Charlie to take.

"Wanna go out to my car, and talk? You look like you need it." The other girl just simply nodded, and they walked out to the black convertible. Margo climbed in first, and set the snacks she was carrying on the dash. Charlie climbed in next and opened her drink. Took a sip and sighed.

Margo smiled "So, wanna tell me why you drove out here in the middle of the night. Cause, it doesn't seem like you did it just for gas and nachos."

Charlie smirked "No, some stuff happened at home, and I just had to get a way for a bit.

The girl in purple nodded "I get it, sometimes you just have to get away. Ya know, it's weird but I've alwaysed loved coming here when I'm stressed. It seems to calm me." She smirked and popped a few skittles into her mouth. "So, may I ask you a personal question?" She asked through a mouthful of the candy.

Charlie nodded "Uh, sure." And took a swig of her drink."

"You're gay, right?" Margo asked nonchalantly

Charlie almost choked on her drink, she nodded "Uh, yeah. She croaked out.

The other girl laughed. "Why did you react like that?

She coughed "Uh, well I guess, it was just because I didn't really expect you to ask that. Why did you ask in the first place."

Margo looked over at her, and smirked "Uh, no reason, just wondering." Charlie blushed a bright red. The girl in purple chuckled, looked down at Charlie's lips, and start to lean over to the other girl. Her heart started to pound so loud that she didn't hear Margo tell her that there was cheese on her lip. Life seemed to go into slow motion for Sawyer, as her neighbor's hand reached her chin. A single "Fuck it" rang through her mind as she leaned forward and connected their lips.

She felt Margo start to back off and then kissed her back full force. It felt like her breath was taken away, fireworks, stars, hot and cold at once, and every damn pleasant thing Charlie could think of at the time, all smashed together. Her nirvana was quickly yanked away, as she remembered that her brother. How he was just as crazy about Margo, and she had just royally fucked up his chances with her, probably. She broke the kiss and muttered something about having to leave. Margo's call after her, was muddled and forgotten as soon as it reached her ears. Tears streamed down her face again as she reached her car and climbed in. She hit the steering wheel. What had she done? She messed things up with Margo, and Hugo. A knock on a window broke her out of the trance. Margo leaned over to her window, and motioned for her to roll it down. A gentle hum came as it lowered.

"Will you please let me drive you home? You shouldn't drive right now." There was pause "Charlie please." Margo pleaded.

She nodded, unlocked her car, and slid over to the passenger's seat. The other girl climbed in, and cranked the car.

"Wait, wh..what about your car?" Charlie hiccuped

Margo chuckled "Oh, that's Hayleys. I don't care if it gets stolen." Charlie chuckled lightly as they pulled out of the parking lot. The rest of the car ride was painfully silent.
