"Hey charleyyyy, I've got a secret to tell you" Jasmine said, slurring over the kitchen counter as she took another shot. "But Colby said not to tell you"
"Oh my god tell meeee" Charley replied. "Hey girlssss come listen" the girls all leaned in, blocking any of the boys from listening. Tara poured them all a shot before Jasmine continued to spill. They took one each, taking turns. They could already feel it effecting them and it made them slur even more.
"Ok sooooooooo I'm the girl that Cole slept with when he was trying to take his mind off you, and he told me not to tell you but I wanted to tell you so I'm telling you" Jasmine whispered. The room went silent, her whispering was loud enough for the whole group to hear.

Charley felt her stomach drop and she felt sick. Her eyes began to water. She just looked at the drunk girl infront of her. The anger began to rise, quite quickly. She didn't want to direct it at jasmine, it wasn't her fault, as far as Charley was aware. And she had told Charley even when Colby had said not to. Colby told Jasmine not to tell Charley. Colby wanted to keep this a secret.
"Colby said not to tell me?" Charley growled slightly.
"Err yea. Here I'll show the messages" Jasmine said, immediately trying to find her phone.
"Colby. Said. Not. To. Tell. Me." Charley repeated, less of a question this time and more of a realisation. The anger that had been building inside of her decided on Colby as the target.

As Jasmine still looked around for her phone, Charley slowly turned towards the group of boys in the corner that was staring at her. Her eyes immediately met with HIS. He looked shocked, uncomfortable, there was even a hint of fear. But nowhere in his eyes could she see what she hoped for. Guilt, remorse, regret. Colby stared back at her, waiting for her to say something. He was to scared to start that conversation.

"So" Charley started, moving slightly closer to Colby. The other boys moved further away, separating themselves from the two. "You didn't think that, you know, maybe I would want to know this Information. Considering she's one of my new best friends." She stopped. She wanted him to say something, explain himself. But she knew that if he did she would scream, cut him off. She carried on, "you told her not to tell, the fact that you thought about it and decided the 'right thing' was to keep this from me. It's not even the fact that you slept together, I don't give a fuck about that. I mean we weren't together then so you can do what you want. It's the fact that you thought you should keep this from me" Her voice was still low, which scared the boy more. The room around her was still, Jasmine had stopped looking for her phone. She felt awkward, like she shouldn't be here. Devyn placed a hand on her shoulder, reassuring her.

"Char-"
"DONT EVEN START" Charley exploded, making everyone jump. "You make me sick" was all that came out of her mouth. She felt sober again, even though she was no where near being sober. Tears began to fall from her face and her stomach churned. "Did you seriously think that you could just keep this from me, force my friend to keep this from me" Charley's eyes burned into colbys. He didn't know what to do. He felt trapped. All the eyes on him, but he was only focusing on the ones across from him. He refused to break eye contact. "WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU" Charley screamed, after a moment of silence. Colby flinched slightly.

"I don't know" Colby whispered. A lump formed in his throat. "I was trying to protect you, keep you from hurting."
"Wow thanks so much, but er guess what. You made me feel way worse than you would of if you had just told me in the first place." She said, emphasising the sarcasm in her voice. "Good for you" she blew him a sarcastic kiss and stormed out. The room was soft in silence, every one stared at Colby, while he stared at the place Charley had just stood. He took a deep breath in, trying to hold back the tears before slowly beginning to follow her.
"Dont" Kat warned, grabbing his arm.
"You've done enough." Tara added, pushing past him, the rest of the girls followed suite.

Charley ran out of the door, slamming it behind her. She hoped no one was following her, she didn't want to say anymore to them tonight. The door opened slowly behind her and she turned seeing the girls stood in a group.
"I appreciate you coming to see me, but please can we just leave it tonight. I'll text you." Charley smiled, through small sobs. The girls all nodded in unison and said
"Love you" as Charley walked away.
"Love you too" she replied.

Charley was way over the limit to drive home. She didn't even want to go home. Her bag was still inside the house, her keys, AirPods and purse inside. She started walking, no idea where she was headed. She sobbed as she went, thinking of the betrayal she felt. As she stumbled down the road, still drunk, she walked past different groups of people. Each group gave her weird, or sympathetic looks. She had no idea what she could do.

The only person that lived around here, or could pick her up was someone she really didn't want to speak to. That was until she felt the lustful eyes of a group of men that ran up and down her body. The immediate fear and uncomfortableness she felt made her shiver. She immediately pulled out her phone and found his contact. She was surprised he wasn't blocked. She rang the number, and waited. After a second he picked up , there was silence that rang in Charley's ear before she sobbed down the phone. She explained what had happened and what Colby had done. Charley didn't even think he knew who Colby was, or that she had a boyfriend, but her drunk mouth just ranted and ranted. She got out everything she hadn't said before, to his face.

There was only two things he said before ending the call.
"I'm gonna come and pick you up and then I'm going to fucking kill him."

Charley was surprisingly excited to see her big brother again, for the first time in years.
