As Amelia made her way to work and as she went to walk into her classroom. Her phone rang. She answered it thinking it was Charlie as no one really rings her. That was until the voice was too feminine. 'Hey bitch, we've been friends for over 10 years and I had to find out you had given birth through a picture'. Amelia smiled realising it was her best friend. 'Hey girl, I am so sorry it's been a stressful year. I'll send you my address and come over?' After they agreed on a time she walked into the room.
She walked over to her desk as she went to sit down she heard a cough she shot up thinking no one else was in the room. She rolled her eyes releasing its John. 'You can't come to my workplace, I've given you money and I've told you to stay away from me and us'. John started to walk closer to her. 'I need more money'. 'Fuck no John you need to fuck off, I've already given you enough, if Charlie finds out she's gonna kill both of us'. 'Ahh yes secrets. You both have them don't you'. Amelia looked confused she knew her secret that she kept but what was Charlie keeping from her.
'Awh you don't know do you?' 'Know what John? Just spit it out you are pissing me off now'. John just laughed. 'When I left your place the other night I left Charlie a little present, and I'm guessing by her not telling you she enjoyed it'. Amelia walked closer to him anger taking over her face. 'What did you leave?' She asked hesitantly not wanting to know the answer. 'I think you can guess that one Miss Cruz'.
'Charlie wouldn't do that, she's clean she would've told me if she had taken anything. She has a family now'. John just laughed walking away. 'How much do you really know about Charlie? Do you really think she's gonna give up the party life for you. She's been drinking and using for years. It's gonna take more than a pretty woman and a baby to get her to stop'. That's the last thing John said. Amelia stood there not knowing what to believe. She trusts Charlie she does. But is this the life Charlie wants? Has she started to spiral since John visited.
Amelia spent the rest of her day worrying if what John said was true. She was in a bad mood. And nothing could cheer her up. She drove home wondering how to bring the situation up without accusing Charlie of everything. She walked in the front door to Charlie holding Lilly waiting for her to come home as she has a shift in the club. 'How are you so late, I need to go babe'. 'We need to talk Charlie'.
Charlie looked at her watch to check the time. She was already late so it doesn't matter now. They sat there in silence until Amelia finally spoke up. 'Have you been using again?' She asks bluntly. Charlie was taken back by that question especially knowing she hasn't touched drugs or even alcohol in ages. Her jaw tensed up and she let out a sigh. 'No Amelia I haven't, where the hell is this coming from?'
'John told me get left the drugs here, so please don't lie to me'. All Charlie did was laugh at the accusation. 'Yes he did but as soon as I found them I flushed them down the toilet, I wouldn't do that to you and Lilly'. 'I don't believe you Charlie, if you didn't do them why not tell me straight away. Why hide it?' Charlie was getting pissed now. 'I DIDN'T FUCKING TAKE ANY DRUGS AND IM NOT LYING ABOUT ANYTHING' she says making her way to the door to leave. 'If you leave now you can sleep on the fucking couch tonight, I'm not finished talking' Charlie stills carrying on walking to the door and goes through it. She made her way to the club, she felt bad about how she reacted about the whole situation. But Amelia should trust her. She should know she wouldn't lie to her.
