Charlie soon knocked on your door. "Hey, I'm gonna do a Twitcam of you want to join me?"

"Sure!" you said.

You and him went into his room, and both sat on the bed with his computer up. He started. "Hey guys. This is my good friend ___. She is acting with me in Neverland." It was fast how people reacted!

"Hi!"

"Hey girl!"

"Are you guys dating?"

You laughed at that one and said,"No! Anyway, he's got a girlfriend already. "

Everyone freaked out!

"What?!"

"What's her name?"

"Is she pretty?"

Charlie answered most of them, like "Her name is Amber. She is quite pretty. She has long red hair."

As Charlie kept talking, you were just staring at him. He was so kind and thoughtful to his fans, the Rowebots. He started talking about what happened this morning. When he smiled at his side which you were looking at, Charlie looked....precious and amazing. Then he read a comment,"She keeps staring at you. " He turned around you jumped. "What?" he asked.

"Nothing."

"The comment said that you were staring at me."

"No..."

"___."

"What?!"

"Never mind."

You guys kept checking out his comments. There were really funny ones and serious ones, but then one came up and said,"Charlie, I dare you to kiss her."

You both looked at each other then looked at the screen and started saying

"No!" "Of course not!" "He's got a girlfriend!"

"Fine, then I'll tell everyone plus Amber that you guys made sex," the comment said.

Charlie had his mouth wide open and you laughed shocked at what she said.

"Ok!" he said with his hands up surrendering.

You shrugged. You really did want to kiss Charlie but it didn't feel right to kiss him now. It didn't seem romantic.

He turned around facing you. He started leaning towards you and you cautiously did. Then you heard a boom, but like a boom that faded away when something shut down. You turned around letting Charlie loose his balance and fell off the bed. You turned around.

"Oh my gosh! I am so sorry! I turned around and.... your computer is dead."

He got off the floor and tried to turn it on. "It's fine. Now we don't have to kiss in front of her," he said.

"But she might text or call Amber."

"Nay," Charlie said,"She won't find her number."

He sat back. "Hey do you wanna go over our lines for the movie or..." Charlie looked at his guitar. "Do you want me to teach you how to play a guitar?"

You looked at him with a thinking look. "Sure! Teach me how to play the guitar!" you replied.

Charlie grinned and grabbed the guitar. He helped you place the guitar on you and showed you a c chord. "Now you place your fingers right here and strum," Charlie said. You strummed. It didn't sound right. You giggled. He laughed too.

"Wrong place. You place them..." he started saying and he put his hand on top of yours, helping you find the note. You looked up at him, hovering you. His gorgeous brown eyes meet yours. You smiled and turned back to playing. You strummed and it sounded perfect.

"Great!" he said. Charlie showed you some more notes to play, then you asked him,"Play me something."

"Um..ok!" he said. He took the guitar and started playing and singing You and Me by Lifehouse. Charlie sounded amazing. His voice was deep and strong. After he finished the song, you spotted a key board. You knew how to play the piano. "Can I play you something?" you asked him.

"Sure! I'd love to hear you play!" Charlie said with a smile.

You pulled out the piano started playing and singing Jar of Hearts by Christiana Perri:

'You know I can't take one more step towards you.'

'Cause all that's waiting is regret.'

'And don't you know I'm not your ghost anymore.'

'You lost the love I loved the most.'

'I learned to live half a life.'

'But now you want me one more time.'

'But who do you think you are?'

'Running 'round evening scars.'

'Collecting your jar of hearts.'

'And tearing love apart.'

'Your gonna catch a cold. '

'From the eyes inside your soul.'

'So don't come back for me.'

'Who do you think you are.'

You ended the song with a roll on the piano. Charlie stood up and clapped. "That was stupendous!" he said. Someone knocked on the door. Matilda came in.

"Hey I heard someone playing the piano amazingly. Who was it?" she asked.

"I did," you said.

"Oh my goodness that was amazing. It's my favorite song ever!"

You smiled and Matilda left the room.

"That was really beautiful you know," he said.

"Thanks. You play too wonderful," you said.

Charlie's phone rang. It was Amber. "Sorry can I take this?" he asked. You nodded. Charlie stood up and said," Hey babe....uh, what time?....ok.....cool....well I don't know about that....well bye!"

Charlie hung up. "Amber reserved seats at the Revolt's Tavern which is a nice restaurant for she and I. Is that ok if I go?" he asked.

"That's perfectly fine with me," said you.

"Ok. Well I gotta change so.."

"Oh yah! Sorry." You left the room and went into yours.

After ten minutes you heard Mrs. Rowe call for dinner. You went downstairs and saw Charlie. He was so handsome. He wore a white polo shirt with jeans and black shoes. "You look great!" you said a little bummed that he wasn't staying.

"Thanks. Well I gotta go bye!"

"Bye," said you, Mrs. Rowe, and Matilda.

You sat at the table thinking about Charlie. You wanted him to stay but he had a girlfriend that he needed to spend time with her, talk with her about the fight at the party, and make up. You sighed quietly and ate.
