Back at the hotel, Charlie was getting ready for the after party, she was on FaceTime with Stephen as she picked out multiple trouser suits.
Charlie" What one do you like?"
Stephen" I like whatever you like"
Charlie" Is it just so you won't get in trouble"
Stephen" What do you like?"
Charlie" I like this blue one, my favourite actually"
Stephen" Wear that one then, I saw you on the live stream talking about me"
Charlie" Yeah I miss you"
Stephen" I miss you too, can't wait to have you back, it gets lonely in the shower"
Charlie" Stephen!"
Stephen"Well it's true"
Charlie" Look don't get me started I have to go to the after party, I will see you when I get back, I miss you"
Both kiss to the camera.
Charlie signs off and decides to have a shower before heading downstairs.
———————————————-
She arrived downstairs where everyone was dancing and singing and just celebrating. Charlie pushed an ear bud into her ear, then the other one and she approached Sam who had just finished talking to Marvin.Marvin" Oh hey Charlie, nice to see you"
Sam" You two know each other"
Marvin" Oh everyone knows Charlie, she used to date Aston back in the the day, to be honest I'm happy you finally found someone"
Charlie" Aww thanks Marvin"
Marvin" See yah later"
He walks off and Sam smiles.
Sam" Everyone knows you don't they"
Charlie" Yeah that's what happens when you are the daughter of Declan Donnelly"
Sam" I guess so, what are you listening to?"
Charlie" Oh nothing, I have sensitive hearing, like with my autism"
Sam" Oh I get you, you want a drink"
Charlie" Sure"
Ant was watching Charlie, he worried about her a lot, like she was his own kid, she was really she might as well be, he helped raise her, there was even that time she stayed with him when she argued with Dec. He worried about her mainly when she drank a lot because he knew how hard that was, he wanted to help her. Also when she drunk a lot she came out with all sorts most recently stuff about Stephen, the tongue thing would forever be imprinted on his brain. He went over to chat to Dec and he looked at him and Dec knew, he rushed over to his daughter and started to steer her towards the bar to get some water.
After that he took her outside and they sat down in some chairs. Charlie leant on him and he pulled her in.
Charlie" I love you dad, so much, like to the moon and back and then back to the moon and back again"
Dec" Yeah I love you too, a lot I just need you just calm down for me can you do that"
Charlie" I'm okay, I'm all good"
Charlie tried to stand up and nearly fell in the pool. Dec catches her and drags her back inside and upstairs. Dec starts removing her shoes and covers her over with a blanket, he kisses her head and lays a bucket down.
Ali comes in and Dec shuts the bedroom door.
Ali" Are you okay Dec?"
Dec"Charlie is drunk"
Ali" Again!"
Dec" Yeah, I just don't want to think it's bad but I can't let her end up like Ant, I just can't"
Ali" I know she won't, we won't let her, you are a great dad Dec, to her, to Isla and to Jack don't forget that"
Dec" Thanks Ali, you are a great mum and always have been to Charlie"
Ali" Thanks Dec"
Dec" I think I will sleep in here, just keep an eye on her"
Ali" That's okay, I'll watch the little ones"

The next morning Charlie woke up with an immense headache and looked to see her dad next to her, he was holding a mug of tea in his hands.Dec" Morning, how are you feeling?"
Charlie" I have a killer headache"
Dec" Makes sense you drank a lot last night"
Charlie" Oh god I didn't say anything about Stephen did I"
Dec" No thank god"
Charlie" I am still sorry about that"
Dec" Yeah we, we won't go into it will we, look you get some rest and I need to talk to you later, I'm here if you need anything"
Charlie" Thanks Dad"
