"Tell me where you have been!" Lorelie screamed, Charm and Lorelie had been at each other's throats ever since Charm got back home from meeting up with Paul. "Town!" Charm said the same answer of the gazilionth time. "I don't believe you" Lorelie replied, "then don't, I couldn't give a shit about what you think" Charm snapped before she opened the front door again and stormed back out the house.

She felt like her head was going to burst, she was so angry to the point she wanted to hurt someone. That someone was the woman on the other side of the front door. 

Charm walked away from the front door, she didn't know where she was going to go but she needed to get away from her Mother. She was getting on her last nerve, if Charm lashed out then things would escalate to a whole new level. As she walked she noticed Arabella was also walking towards her, Charm decided that speaking to Arabella might calm her down a bit so she hurried over.

"Hey" Charm smiled, Arabella smiled back "so are you going to tell me who that boy is?" Arabella asked, Charm suddenly remembered about the whole thing that she would tell Arabella who the mystery man was. "Umm" Charm hummed, "don't bother. I think I know" Arabella smiled, Charm began to get nervous.

"It's Paul isn't it" Arabella laughed, "how did you-" Charm was cut off "i saw you two in town this morning" Arabella tilted her head to the side. "Don't worry I won't tell anyone" She spoke, Charm felt her heart stop racing and she relaxed a bit. Thank god, that would mean the Lorelie had a long time before she finds out.

Well, hopefully. 

"I'm happy for you, I hope you know that" Arabella said, Charm smiled at her "thanks".

"Son just tell me where you have been, you know I will find out one way or another" Leto asked his son calmly, Paul knew if he didn't tell his dad he would find out but at the same time he really didn't want to tell him at all. So Paul stayed silent, "fine I will find out myself and I shall have you know I have had a guard following you around ever since we got here" Leto spoke.

Paul's heart dropped, he was so going to get caught.

Leto left the room, Paul heard mumbling. "Shit" Paul cursed under his breath. His heart was speeding up by seconds and he felt extremely nervous, he never normally felt this way? Why was he so scared for his Father to find out? He guessed it was just of his approval and if it was granted or not. 

Suddenly Leto came back in, "sneaking around with a girl are we?" Leto asked, Paul sighed "yes" he replied. "Charmaine, the daughter of that strange woman that used to see you?" Leto asked. "Yes" Paul nodded his head and looked down.

"Well it's good that you have finally found someone, it's about time" Leto sighed and smiled at his son slightly, "wait your okay with it?" Paul's head shot up and he stared at his Dad in shock. "Well I can't tell you what to do forever, one day this was bound to happen" Leto laughed. Paul smiled, "I don't want you thinking that I will stop you when it comes to things like this" Leto smiled.

"You can tell me anything, you are my son after all" Leto placed a hand on Paul's shoulder, "okay" Paul let a grin take over his face. "Thanks for understanding but I need you not to tell anyone please" Paul begged, Leto agreed and they both walked out the room.

Soon after the dusk broke and the sky darkened, just like Paul and Charm's story will. The more it goes on, the darker things go.
