Chapter six:

As Ruby was cuddled up wit Xavier watching a Movie, Charlie sat at home worried about her. Her phone snapped her out of her worries.

‘Hello’ she answered

‘Hey Charlie it’s Angelo, can I come over please?’

‘Why’

‘Because Tom wants to ask you something’

‘Can’t he do it over the phone?’

‘Yeah, but he really wants to meet you’

‘OK come over than’

‘Thank you so much’

‘It’s alright’

‘Who was that on the phone?’ Nick asked coming down the stairs.

‘Just a friend’

‘Is that friend male?’

‘Yes he is and his name is Angelo’

‘Angelo as in your ex Angelo?’

‘Yeah, so be nice’

‘I will’ Nick smiled

‘Good’ Charlie said kissing him.

The door knocked

‘I’ll get it’ Nick said.

‘Hey, is Charlie in?’ Angelo asked.

‘Yeah over here’ Charlie smiled

‘Hey, this is Tom’ Angelo pointed to Tom as he came from behind Angelo.

‘Wow he looks just like you’

‘I know, he is so adorable too’ Angelo smiled.

‘Hey’ Tom said waving to Charlie

‘This is daddy’s friend, Charlie’

‘Is she a police lady?’ Tom asked.

‘Yeah, so you want to ask her about parents?’ Angelo said.

‘Yes’

‘Ok I am listening’ Charlie smiled as she sat down next to Tom and rubbed his hair.

‘Ok so every other kid at school has a mummy and a daddy, I only have a daddy’

‘Well Tom sometimes not every child has a mummy or daddy’

‘Why?’ Tom asked.’

‘Well only the special ones have on parent’ Charlie told Tom.

‘Really?’ Tom asked. ‘Did you only have a Daddy or Mummy?’ Tom asked

‘No, but I am only a mummy’ Charlie said.

‘So if you’re just a mummy and daddy is just a daddy, does that mean I can have two parents?’

‘No mate’ Angelo told Tom.

‘Why not?’ Tom asked.

‘Because your daddy just loves you and I just love Ruby’ Charlie said

Nick stood in the hallway watching Charlie and Angelo talk, he smiled to himself.

‘Can we watch a movie please?’ Tom asked.

‘Why mate, this isn’t our house’ Angelo said.

‘I know, but I would like to watch a movie’

‘Mate’

Charlie cut in, ‘It’s fine, what do you want to watch?’

‘Um Rio please’ Tom said with excitement.

‘Sure’ Charlie smiled.

‘You ok with this?’ Angelo asked.

‘Yes I am, come into the kitchen and help with popcorn please?’

‘OK’

Angelo and Charlie walked into the kitchen as the movie began to start.

‘He is such a little cutie’ Charlie smiled.

‘I know, he’ll grow up to look just like me’ Angelo smiled.

‘But he wont have the same hotness’ Charlie smiled.

‘Nice one’ Angelo smiled.

‘We should go sit down’ Charlie laughed.

‘What about the popcorn?’ Angelo smiled.

‘He’s a kid, he would of forgot by now’

2 hours later:

Tom had fallen asleep in Angelo’s lap and Charlie had rested her tired head on Angelo’s shoulder. Angelo closed his eyes; this is all he dreamed of, a young family.

‘What the hell do you think your doing?’ Nick bellowed causing Angelo to wake up.

‘Nothing’ Angelo said concerned, Charlie had now raised her head.

‘Nick’ she whispered.

‘Shut up’ Nick said hitting Charlie causing her to fall to the ground.

‘Charlie’ Angelo said getting up to help her, but Nick beat him and punched him in the face causing Angelo to move to the ground.

‘Daddy’ Tom yelled as he watched Nick hurting Angelo.

‘Shut up kid’ Nick yelled.

‘Nick stop it’ Charlie yelled.

‘This guy was flirting with you’

‘No he wasn’t, I just fell asleep on him’

‘Bull’ Nick yelled hitting Angelo once more.

‘Get out’ Charlie yelled.

‘Sorry?’ Nick said, facing Charlie.

‘Get out of my house’

‘Why?’ Nick asked, but it was to late Angelo had got back up and tackled Nick to the ground, holding him down.

‘What do you want done with him?’

‘I don’t know’ Charlie laughed ‘Kick him out’

‘OK’ Angelo said picking Nick up and taking him outside; Angelo kicked Nick out before walking back inside.

‘Do you want me to stay the night?’ Angelo asked.

‘No it should be fine’ Charlie smiled

The door broke open

‘Mum I am so sorry’ Ruby cried.

‘It’s alright we’ll talk later’

‘Angelo?’ Ruby asked.

Angelo kept his head down.

‘Angelo?’ Ruby asked again

This time Angelo moved his head up

‘Yeah that’s me’

‘OMG’ Ruby screamed. She ran straight over to him, giving him such a bug hug that the force made him fall back on the couch, with Ruby falling onto of him.

‘When did you get back?’ She asked.

‘A week or two ago’ He smiled.

‘Charlie, why didn’t you ever tell me?’

‘I guess it wasn’t important’

‘Please tell me you to are getting back together’ Ruby smiled.

‘No we’re not’ Angelo said

‘Why not?’ Ruby asked.

‘Because Charlie doesn’t love me anymore’ Angelo smiled.

‘Charlie’ Ruby bellowed.

‘Oh look at the time; Angelo said looking down at his watch.

‘Bye everyone’ Tom said as he left holding Angelo’s hand.

‘Bye’ Charlie and Ruby said together.

Charlie and Ruby stood next to each other not saying a word.

'I am so sorry mum'

'We'll talk about this tomorrow'

'But mum'

‘Well I am off to bed’ Charlie said once Angelo had left.

‘Night’ Ruby smiled, not believing what had just happened.

Thank You Danni02, Zetti, -Carina-, Summer2011 and Callyha for all the comments here is chapter 7

Chapter seven:

Ruby made her way down the stairs and sat at the table where Charlie was eating her breakfast.

‘So last night, where were you and why’d you run?’ Charlie asked.

‘Because I was angry and I didn’t want to see you’

‘Fair enough, but next time it happens, you’ll be in trouble’

‘OK mum’ Ruby smiled.

Charlie drove to work, feeling the wind from the window blow gently on her face; her daydream was destroyed by the sound of a horn. She swerved to miss a car crash and luckily she did. By the time she got to the station the phones were running hot and Angelo was playing with a rubber band ball, throwing it against the wall.

‘Morning’ Charlie smiled.

‘Morning’ Angelo retorted.

‘Thanks for last night’ Charlie smiled.

‘No worries and Tom says thanks’

‘OK’

Angelo continued to bounce his rubber band ball against the window, Charlie was on her phone, and the throbbing of the ball was giving her a headache.

‘Ouch it hit me in the head’ Angelo complained.

‘Serves you right’ Charlie sneered.

Angelo poked his tongue at her before leaving the room.

Charlie followed him out of the room

‘Angelo what’s wrong?’ Charlie asked.

‘A bend in the road is not the end of the road unless you fail to make the turn, sorry for ruining you life’ Angelo said.

‘Angelo you did nothing wrong and I loved you once, I still love you, I always have and always will’ Charlie said.

‘Really?’ Angelo asked.

‘Yeah, but we still can’t be together’ Charlie smiled.

‘No fair’ Angelo laughed.

‘It has to be, anyway I got to go home’ Charlie smiled.

‘Hey I am after Nick Stevens’ A woman asked as Charlie opened the door.

‘And you are?’ Charlie asked.

‘His pregnant girlfriend’ she smiled.

‘I am his fiancé’ Charlie smiled weakly

‘Oh’ the woman smiled.

‘Shantelle what are you doing here?’ Nick asked coming down the stairs.

‘I come to say hi, but met your fiancé instead’

‘I didn’t think you were home yet Charlie’

‘Well I am and I want answers now’ she demanded

‘So do I’ Shantelle demanded.

‘Ok, go home Shanny, I’ll call you later’

‘Charlie baby please’ Nick pleaded.

‘Why, you cheated on me’

‘It’s not as bad as it seems’

‘It’s not as bad’

‘Oh come on’ Nick pleaded.

‘Don’t lie anymore, please no more lies’ Charlie cried.

‘Babe I am not lying, I cheated on you’

‘You cheated on me and that’s ok to you?’

‘No, but what about you and Angelo?’

‘He is my ex nothing more nothing less’ Charlie complained.

‘An ex can come back and do anything though’

‘Yeah but I didn’t cheat on you Nick’ Charlie bellowed.

‘Look I want to be with her Charlie I love her’

‘Good go than, I want you gone in the next hour’ Charlie spat throwing her engagement ring at him.

‘Baby I didn’t mean it’

‘Get out Nick, like right now before I call someone’

‘Who, let me guess Angelo’ Nick smirked.

‘I may, so get out’

‘Nick removed himself from the couch and left the house taking one last look at Charlie.

‘Out’ she yelled.

Nick walked out slamming the door behind him.

‘What was his problem?’ Ruby asked.

‘Um Nick and I just broke up’

‘Finally, I mean sorry mum’

‘It’s alright we wont meant to be together anyway’

‘I know, it’s just the only father figure I have had since Angelo’

‘Angelo and I are over and we will not get back together’

‘I know I was just saying’

‘So am I’

-----

‘Tom it’s time for bed’ Angelo said getting up from the sofa.

‘No, go away’ Tom said hiding under the table.

‘Tom bed now please’

‘Nope, you have to catch me’

‘Mate I can’t remember I had an accident at work, touching his scars’

‘Ok, well tell me where mummy is’

‘Tom I can’t your to young to explain it to’

‘No I am not I am 4’ Tom said holding up 6 fingers.

Angelo laughed ‘Well do ice cream tomorrow than’

‘OK I am going to bed’ Tom said crawling from underneath the table.

‘Got you’ Angelo laughed grabbing Tom.

‘Daddy no no no’ Tom screamed with laughter.

‘Night mate’ Angelo said tucking Tom in.

‘I love you daddy and tell mummy I love her’

‘I promise, ok night’

‘Night’

Angelo smiled walking back downstairs, but he didn’t know what to tell Tom, he had no idea how to tell him that his mummy wasn’t alive.

‘I miss you Abby’ Angelo said with a trickle of a tear on his check.
