The Ones You Love

~2 weeks later~

Charlie was feeling angry. Not at anyone in particular. Just at everyone. It was like everyone's very existence was annoying.

Selena came into the room. Charlie was trying to watch T.V., but Emily was throwing a tantrum and it wasn't helping.

"Charlie help me!" Selena whined. "Nothing makes her happy!"
"Figure it out." Charlie said sharply.

"Charlie?What's wrong?" Selena asked.

Charlie turned up the volume on the T.V, to try and hear over Emily's screams.
"CHARLIE!" Selena had to yell to be heard.

Charlie groaned and turned the T.V off. "What?" He asked angrily.

"What's the matter?" Selena asked, leaning over the couch to look at him.She started to run her fingers through his hair. Charlie slapped her hand away. "Stop. Just stop." Charlie said, trying to calm himself.

"What's wrong with you Mr. Grumpy. Who hurt your feelings?" Selena was joking but it still irritated Charlie.

"You."

"What? What did I do?"

"You lied to me."

"When?"

"I was told you were dead. Do you not realize how much that hurts me!? You were lying to me!!" Charlie was fuming.

"Charlie I-"

"I know. It's a 'You only hurt the ones you love' kinda thing."

"No it's not!"

"Well that line makes so sense." Charlie said.

"How so?" Selena said.

"Why would you hurt the ones you love?"

"Well-"

Charlie interrupted her. "You do not hurt the ones you love. It's as simple as that. You don't do, say, write, type, or think of things, words,phrases, lies, or sentences that will break them."

"You're being dramatic." Selena had her hands on her hips.

"I'm the one being dramatic? You're the one that faked your death!"

"Charlie it's not-"

"I don't think you realize how much you hurt me."

"I do! But-"

"I cried for you. Because I thought you were dead."

"Charlie-"

"I didn't eat for 6 weeks, because I thought you were dead. I cried for weeks and weeks, because I thought you were dead. My heart ached for you Selena. Because you we're 'dead'." Charlie used air quotes. "You broke me Selena. And I thought that you loved me. I thought you cared about me. I thought-"

"Charlie stop right-"

"No. You're not getting it. It's all a game to you."

"Charlie it's not like that I-"

"You think it's all fun and games. Saying that you broke my heart is an understatement. You obliterated my heart."

"Charlie stop being a drama-"

"I'm not being a drama queen! I-"

"STOP INTERRUPTING ME!" Selena yelled at the top of her lungs. "I tried to make this be a good thing. I wanted to make you happy. I thought that-"

"That it would be a good idea to give birth to our baby, then have an allergic reaction to something, die, but not really be dead. You thought that would make me happy!?"

Charlie was yelling now.

"Do you know how crazy that sounds!?" Charlie yelled.

Selena didn't answer.

It didn't.

"Charlie I'm sorry. I-"

"No. I don't wanna hear it." Charlie was up and walking for the door. "You broke me and now I'm gonna break you. Goodbye Selena."

And he slammed the door behind him.
