• She hadn't been asleep, just dozing... she had gone to bed, waiting up for him, but had eventually given in to a light sleep. The light in the bathroom broke the light sleep and she leant up in the bed slightly, running a hand over her eyes, brow softly furrowed as her eyes adjusted to the light "Baby? Is that you? I've been worries..." -- Alysia, 14:54:17 10/24/04 Sun

  ---

• "Yeah, it's me." He frowned as he inspected his face in the mirror - there was no way he could explain this one away to her - and he felt bad, she'd been so disappointed lately - with everything that was going on with Isaac and such, he didn't want to disappoint her. (NT) -- Charlie, 09:13:56 10/26/04 Tue

  ---

• She sat up in bed a little, brushing her long blonde curls back from her face "Are you alright?" She lifts her gentle frame from the bed, padding to the bathroom, hesitating by the mostly closed door "Are you coming to bed?" (NT) -- Alysia, 09:17:34 10/26/04 Tue

  ---

• He winced as he ran a finger over the split lip, and then looked over his shoulder - her voice sounded so close - he didn't want her to see him like that. "Yeah, I'm coming, don't worry about it." (NT) -- Charlie, 10:59:39 10/26/04 Tue

  ---

• She frowns softly at his comment, hesitating by the door a moment longer before returning to bed, flicking on the beside light and waiting for him. Her blonde curls were tugged over her shoulder, girl-boxers and a pink baby tee hugging the dancers form as she drew the blankets up to her chin, sat up with her legs drawn to her chest. (NT) -- Alysia, 06:07:10 11/07/04 Sun

  ---

• He knew he couldn't hide in there forever - there was no way he could even wait it out until she went back to sleep so he sighed, and flicked off the light in the bathroom and emerged, skulking along the shadows to the bed. (NT) -- Char, 06:11:22 11/07/04 Sun

  ---

• She didn't notice his buising right away, it was the stiff way he walked which first grabbed her attention. Her brow furrowd in concern and she lifted her head up from her knees, watching him "Baby... you're hurt... " (NT) -- Alysia, 06:13:49 11/07/04 Sun

  ---

• He shook his head, dismissing it and slid in under the covers. "Nah, I'm okay baby, don't worry about it." He put a large hand on her shoulder, reassuringly - he wasn't worried about the damage he'd done to himself, he was mostly just worried about what else Jake's men would or could do. (NT) -- Char, 06:15:58 11/07/04 Sun

  ---

• She frowned and shook her head, turning onto her side and gently turning his face to her, her touch soft and careful. "What happened? Who did it Charlie?" She wouldn't let this drop- Charlie wasn't the type to go picking fights he wasn't a big drinker... he didn't get violent or cocky when he drank... it made no sense. (NT) -- ALysia, 06:18:13 11/07/04 Sun

  ---

• He shook his head, shrugging it off, and turning away from her. "Just ran into the wrong people, that's all. It's alright, though.. it's just a couple of scratches." (NT) -- Char, 06:28:58 11/07/04 Sun

  ---

• She frowned when he turned away from her, it hurt a little. They'd never kept things from each other before. "If you don't want to tell me thats fine but don't lie to me Charlie" She turned over, her back to him, laying on her side. (NT) -- Alysia, 06:31:24 11/07/04 Sun

  ---

• He turned over when she did, and leaned up on his elbow, though stretching his torso in such a way was painful. "I ran into the wrong people, Aly, that's the truth." (NT) -- Charlie, 06:41:04 11/07/04 Sun

  ---

• She pursed her lips, her brow furrowed , though remained with her back to him as she spoke "You aren't the type of guys who gets into fights for no reason Charlie, and people don't just beat you up for fun" (NT) -- Alysia, 06:43:36 11/07/04 Sun

  ---

• "I had a couple of drinks." He wished that he could use that to explain it away like most guys could, but she knew better. He was only dancing around the truth and he could only do that for so long before she caught on. (NT) -- Charlie, 06:47:12 11/07/04 Sun

  ---

• She frowned further at that, he should know her better- should know she knew him better. She didn't want to talk to him anymore if he was just going to lie, infact, she didn't even wanna be here. She slipped out of bed and padded out of the room, heading tot he kitchen to make herself a mug of tea- something she'd grown addicted to in London (NT) -- Alysia, 06:50:38 11/07/04 Sun

  ---

• He frowned heavily, laid on his back looking up at the cieling for a moment before he got up and followed her out. "It was some friends of Jake's." (NT) -- Charlie, 06:52:56 11/07/04 Sun

  ---

• She looks up to him as he spoke, concern creasing her brow as she waited for the water to boil "What does Jake want with you?" She prayed it wasn't because of her... (NT) -- Alysia, 06:54:57 11/07/04 Sun

  ---

• "I owe him some money." He murmured, clearing his throat a little as though he could dismiss it. Truth was, he couldn't - he was over his head and he wasn't sure how to get out. (NT) -- Charlie, 07:00:51 11/07/04 Sun

  ---

• She stared at him, her heart sinking, ignoring the slick of the boiled kettle. "Money... the money you got for Isaac's settlement.... you borrowed it from Jake..." It wasn't difficult to piece it together... (NT) -- Alysia, 07:03:24 11/07/04 Sun

  ---

• His smooth Italian features were downcast and still frowning as he nodded, a little bit like a boy caught with his hand in the cookie jar. "Yes.." (NT) -- Char, 07:04:33 11/07/04 Sun

  ---

• She sighed gently and glanced down, closing her eyes a moment... She thought back to jakes proposition to her back when she was trying to get the money... Jaske had an adgenda- and he'd make it impossible for Charlie to be able to afford to pay him back "Damn it Charlie... I can't believe you... How could you be so stupid? How could you trust him?" (NT) -- Alysia, 07:11:59 11/07/04 Sun

  ---

• He continued to frown as he looked up to meet her eyes. "We didn't have any other option, did we Aly? You were so fucking depressed some days I worried you wouldn't get out of bed, and there was no other way we could get the money, what was I supposed to do?" (NT) -- Charlie, 07:14:21 11/07/04 Sun

  ---

• "You could have gone to anyone else except him! Do you have any clue what he's like? What he can do to you? To us?" She dragged her curls back from her face, closing her eyes. She didn;t mean to be so harsh... it was mainly guilt- if she had told him about Jakes proposition with regards the money- Charlie wouldn't have gone near him. (NT) -- Alysia, 07:19:31 11/07/04 Sun

  ---

• "Noone else could give me the money I needed right away." He frowned - he hadn't tried his father - though they were loving and cared a great deal about his relationship with Aly, they weren't much for Isaac. (NT) -- Char, 07:47:48 11/07/04 Sun

  ---

• She burried her face in her hands a moment sighing softly before slipping her hands up into her hair, tipping her head a touch. She lets her arms drop to her side, moving closer to him. This wasn't his fault... Jake could be very convincing, and Charlie liked to see the best in people... no- this was her own fault. She rests her hands gently on his sides, leaning up to brush a kiss to his jaw carefully "We'll fix this baby" (NT) -- Alysia, 08:02:07 11/07/04 Sun

  ---

• He hadn't been naive, he had been desperate, that was all there was to it - honestly, if he never had to see Jake again, he would have been happy to have granted it years ago. Nonetheless, he wouldn't see her getting burned in this.. "Aly, this isn't your problem, it's mine.." (NT) -- Jake, 08:04:22 11/07/04 Sun

  ---

• She shook her head in return, bright gaze flickering over him as she spoke softly "You're problems are my problems Charlie, we're in this together." She knew how to talk to Jake, maybe she could bring him round, make him ease up a little, she knew he had a heart in him somewhere. (NT) -- Alysia, 08:07:21 11/07/04 Sun

  ---

• He sighed a little, resigned - he knew there wasn't any sense in arguing with her because she always got her way anyways. He reached for her gingerly, tugging her into his arms and holding her lightly against his chest. "I'm sorry." (NT) -- Char, 08:11:23 11/07/04 Sun

  ---

• She swallowed softly, her hands resting on his biceps, too scasred of hurting him to hold anywhere else. "Don't.. it's alright... are you in a lot of pain?" (NT) -- Aly, 08:17:54 11/07/04 Sun

  ---

• "Not enough to see a doctor if that's what you're getting at." He'd sat in his car for a long time though, unable to move, until he'd been able to muster up enough strength to come in. "I'll be okay." (NT) -- Char, 08:20:49 11/07/04 Sun

  ---

• She frowns in concern, letting out a soft sigh and glancing him over "Something might be broken" He knew her too well "At least take some pills..." (NT) -- Alysia, 08:22:32 11/07/04 Sun
