"They're going to find out," Charlotte asked, chucking as she sipped her sex on a beach as she stood next to Sebastian in Celebrations. The brunette had her long hair down with a tight, mini-light blue dress and white chunky heels. 

"And how would they?" he asked, looking down at her. 

"My songs," she said looking up at him, "I write about everything."

"Then we'll make sure to keep it a secret," he said as she smirked and sipped her drink. 

"I think we can do that," she said smiling. She turned around and grinned when she saw her brother and Blaine walk in.

"I don't like him," Kurt said, watching as his sister laughed with the taller guy. 

"He's harmless," Blaine said chuckled. 

"Look how close he is to her," Kurt said as the two made their way towards them, "I don't like it!"

"Hey!" Charlotte said, grinning as she hugged her brother tightly. 

"How many have you had?" Blaine asked as the brunette hugged him tightly. 

"Only two," she said giggling.  

"A beer for Blaine," Sebastian said, "and for Kurt, a Shirley Temple with extra cherries. I heard you're the designated driver. Like, all the time."

"Play nice," Charlotte said smiling as she took a sip of her drink.

"Cheers, guys," Sebastian said, "to the glamorous life."

"If you call this glamorous, I worry about you," Charlotte said chuckling as they all clinked their drinks before taking a sip. "Now, who's up for a dance?"

"Lead the way," Sebastian said as Charlotte smiled and walked to the dance floor with Sebastian and Blaine.

"I think you've had a little bit too much to drink," Sebastian laughed as the two of them left the club. She let out a giggle. 

"I've had a lot to drink," she laughed. 

"I know," he said, chuckling as she smiled.

"Can we go somewhere just us?" she asked as she looked up at him. She had a look in her eye as she saw the same glint in his.

"And what would we do?" he asked, stepping closer as she giggled.

"I think you know exactly what we'd do," she said, her voice in a whispered as she looked up at him through her eyelashes.

"Don't give me that look," he said, his voice just above a whispered as she smiled lightly.

"What look?" she asked as the others were long gone.

"You know what look," he said, wrapping his around around her waist.

"Is it working?" she asked smiling as he nodded.

"It is," he said as she smirked.

"Let's go then," she said. He took her hand and the two looked behind them before running back to his hotel, giggling the whole way.

The two stumbled down the hotel corridor, their hands intertwined as they giggled together as Sebastian was holding Glinda's shoes in his other hand. They hurried into Sebastian's dorm, giggling and shushing each other as they went. 

"Can you not open the door?" Charlotte giggled as she watched Sebastian struggle.

"N-No," he laughed before he managed to open the door. The two stumbled into the room, and pressed the button to close the doors as they looked at each other as the door shut. Charlotte grabbed the collar of his shirt and pulled him down to her height and kissed him. He threw her shoes to the side as he grabbed her by the waist and pulled her closer. She carried on kissing him as she began unbuttoning his shirt. He grabbed her by the thighs, picked her up and took her to the bed and climbed on top of her and she smiled up at him.

"You sure?" he asked against her lips.

"I am," she said as she looked up at him, "are you?"

"Yeah," he said as Charlotte smiled lightly as the brunette reached over and turned the light off.

"Oh, in the dark is it?" he joked as she giggled.

"Makes it more fun," she said.

While everyone was at the afterparty of the first night of West Side Story, Charlotte was making her way back home. She unlocked the door, and let out a yell when she saw Finn sat there. 

"Finn, what are you doing here?" she asked, closing the door behind her. "Why aren't you at the party?" Before her brother could answer, there was a knock at the door. "Hold that thought," she said as she opened the door and saw Rachel standing there. "Oh Rach, hey."

"Hi," Rachel said smiling, "can I come in?"

"Yeah course," she said, opening the door and letting the older girl walk in and towards her brother. "I got your flowers," she said as Finn looked at her. "They were beautiful."

"You were really good," Finn said as Charlotte sat on the couch. 

"Where is everybody?" Rachel asked, looking around. 

"Kurt's, uh, out with Blaine," Charlotte said, "and Mum and Dad left for Tolito right after the show, they got some kinda meet-and-greet in the morning, so they're spending the night."

"Why didn't you guys stay for the after party?" Rachel asked, "I mean, I know that you're still mad at me, but the other night. . . ."

"He didn't like me," Finn said as the two girls looked at him confused.

"What?" Rachel asked, "who?"

"The recruiter," Finn said as Charlotte's heart dropped.

"What happened?" Charlotte asked.

"He watched the game and I waited like an idiot for twenty minutes while he talked to Shane," Finn said, "I didn't even shower or change out of my uniform, 'cause I was afraid I'd miss him." 

Charlotte's heart dropped as she looked at her brother.

"Finn," she said sadly.

"Wait, I don't," Rachel said, "I don't understand what any of this means. . . ."

"It means I suck!" Finn snapped, standing up as Charlotte looked at him. "It means I'm gonna be stuck here forever. Cooter's not gonna recruit me. He said I'd reached my ceiling."

"No!" Charlotte snapped back, "you do not suck! It's not your fault that Cooter is some stupid idiot who can't recognise talent if it slapped in his face."

"There are other colleges," Rachel began. 

"Like there are other schools for you besides NYADA?" Finn asked, raising his voice. "I'm not good enough! I'm not a good enough quarterback to get a scholarship, I'm not a good enough singer to get into NYADA, it's all over for me!" He sat on the couch, his head in his hands as Charlotte got up and wrapped her arms around her brother.

"You are more than enough," she said, resting her head on his arm, "you are my brother, you are so bloody talented. You are worth everything to me, to Rachel, to everyone." She looked at Finn with tears in her eyes. "You are so important to me, okay?" Finn looked at his sister and smiled as she smiled at him.
