Chapter 5

Song: If It Means A Lot To You ~ ADTR

*Tony's POV*

"Guys, I feel like a real dick having to bring her memory back with that specific thing." I stated putting my arms across my chest and turning off the television.

"Yeah, but she has to get her memory back somehow before she marries someone else, right?" Mike stated walking into the room with a beer in his hand.

"Mike has a point." Vic said in agreement and I have to admit he was right, but it still felt wrong.

"In any minute she'll be running through that door hugging you and telling you how much she missed you and all that girly shit." Jaime said as he continued to play patty-cake with Jules.

"Right, okay." I said turning the television back on without realizing, Jaime couldn't of been more wrong.

*Char's POV*

I turned into the driveway of what I now remembered to be Jaime's two story apartment. I was more than nervous to see the boys and Jules with my memory back, especially with what I was about to say.

I walked up and knocked on the door cautiously and before I knew it I was tackled by all the boys.

"Do you remember me?" Vic squealed causing me to crack a smile. "Yes, Vic, I remember you I remember everyone!" I said with faked cheerfulness I couldn't get close to them, I just couldn't.

"Do you want something to eat, or drink, ooh we should get some ice cream!" Jaime said being his usual loud self.

"Uh, no, I actually would like to talk to Tony, alone please." I said sending a sad smile to Tony who was handing Jules over to Vic who followed the boys upstairs presumably to the gaming room.

"Hey." Tony said standing up and walking over to me but, before I could reply he wrapped his hands around my waist and pressed his lips to mine.

I was the first to pull away causing Tony to frown slightly. "Is everything okay?"

"Yeah," I replied looking at my feet. "Actually, no everything not okay I think we need to break up, or I need my space for a while, Tony." I couldn't believe I had just said that, but I has and there was no going back there.

"What?" He spoke. His voice was louder than I had expected it to be, but I could see why. "You, you can't do that Char! You can't do that! I love you! We have a kid in the hospital, for gods sake we have a kid upstairs, you can't leave me!" He was yelling now and honestly I have never seen him this mad in a long time, if ever.

"I love you too, Tony. I just can't do this anymore." I said just as loud as Tony had been.

"Obviously, you don't Char! And can't do what? Actually just leave!" I opened my mouth to protest but he walked away, so I did what he told me to do and I left.

I couldn't believe this was actually happening.

--Vic's POV--

I heard bickering coming from downstairs and when it didn't seem to cease I cautiously opened the door to see Tony storming up the stairs harshly wiping stray tears off his face.

"What's wrong Tony Baloney?" I said nudging him lightly using the nickname Jules liked, making Jules giggle in my arms.

"She left," he said angrily "and don't you dare say what because I know you heard me, okay?" He finished as more tears threatened to spill.

"Why did she leave?" I asked as Mike and Jaime gathered around me and Jules.

"She just said she couldn't do this anymore and left!" Tony yelled once again throwing his hands up in the air and kicking the wall.

"Hey, hey, dude I just got that trim re-painted okay? Go easy on it." Jaime gasped in mock hurt earning a glare from Tony who was still fuming with anger.

"Did she just leave, or did you tell her to leave?" Mike asked in Chars defense. The guilty look that we received from Tony was enough to tell us that he didn't give her a chance to explain, leaving all of us in the hall to ponder why Char, who loved Tony, left.
