Everyone stayed in Will's apartment. Kaya and Charlie sat on the couch seeing as the boys graciously gave it up for their girls. Sharing a blanket their legs intertwined as they faced one another.

Will, Thomas, Ki, and Dylan all stayed in the kitchen going about their own tactics. It had gone like they normally do, movies, take in order, some alchohal but not a lot. But tonight.. Kaya was able to notice something. Charlie just simply could not sit still.

Trying not to alarm the boys, Kaya gently kicked Charlie under the blanket. Her eyes locked with Kaya's and she waited for her reasoning. Are you okay. The British woman mouthed.

Smiling as best as she could Charlie nodded. "Yeah, just don't feel so good."

Now knowing it was nothing SERIOUS Kaya nodded. "Stomach?"

"No... Just, body, head, that stuff. I'll be okay."

The two stayed like that for most of the night, but eventually, Charlie couldnt take sitting any longer. Her muscles ached, her bones creaked, and her head was pounding. It had happened before, she wasn't scared, she just hated how suddenly these things came about.

Rising to her feet Charlie let out a breath, "I'm calling it a night Kaya.."

"Alright, you sure you're okay?"

The world seemed somewhat dull around her, but biting her lip and nodding her head she assured Kaya that she was okay. As soon as she was fully to her feet though, everything became a haze. The woman staggered slightly and Kaya instantly Rose to her feet steadying her.

"Charlie, are you sure you're okay?" She asked softly, again trying not to alarm the boys.

Biting her lip Charlie nodded letting go of Kaya's arm. "Yeah, this happens. Don't sweat it, I'm just gonna head home."

At first Kaya was hesitant, "okay..." Then finally she came to a conclusion that would work for the both of them. "Just let me walk you back, then I'm gonna head home for the night too."

With no other fight, Charlie nodded and the two gathered their things. "Hey, where are you two going?" Dylan asked furrowing his brows.

Kaya answered for the both of them. "We're both tired, going to head home and get some sleep."

As soon as Thomas's eyes landed on Charlie though, he could tell something was wrong. She was a sickly ghostly pale, her body was as stiff as a bored and she refused to look any of them in the eyes. Before he could protest though, the girls were saying goodnight and heading out the door.

Charlie went without a word leaving a confused and worried Thomas behind. But soon enough he was distracted by Dylan and the boys as they pulled him back into their games. All through the night though he couldn't help but wonder back to her... Was Charlie really okay?

As the night progressed on and things began to die down, Thomas pulled out his phone and headed toward the door. "Im heading back guys, I'll see you tomorrow morning."

"Okay! Goodnight Thomas Brodie Gangster!" Ki chuckled in his somewhat sober state.

Making his way into the hallway, Thomas pulled out his phone and brought up Charkies contact. Hey, you didn't look so good you feeling okay?

As he passed her door Thomas gave it a weary look, hesitated, but then continued on towards his door. It took some time, but after about ten minutes he got a response. Yeah I'm okay! Just tired, don't worry about it. But thanks!

Deciding to leave it at that Thomas entered his room and threw his jacket onto the couch. The night went on mainly undisturbed, so he lay in bed, eyes closed, and phone next to him waiting to go off the following morning.
