*Charlie's P.O.V*

'That was such a stupid thing to do. Why did I end it with Leo, he's been through so much. I'm so stupid. I've got to apologize to him, he needs to know that I didn't mean it, I didn't mean what I said, who cares about some stupid girl? Well, obviously I do care about Daisy because she's been a good friend for ages, and I had a lovely time with her the other day, but I can't let her come between me and my best friend. Bros before ho - "DAMN YOU CHARLIE!" How could I ever say that about a girl, about any girl. My mum didn't raise me to be like that.'

~knock on bedroom door~

"Hey Charlie there's someone on the phone for you"

"Okay thanks mum."

C: "Hello?"

"What's up bro"

C: "LEO?! That doesn't sound like you, I'm so sorry I didn't mean it!

"Charlie what are you talking about? You know this isn't Leo. It's Dan"

C: "Oh right... hi Dan"

D: "I had Victoria on the phone earlier trying to explain to me why her son is in floods of tears because you've kicked him out of bam. Tell me it's not true Charlie, you have rehersing to do! Autographs to practice! The audition is aired in a few weeks."

C: "I didn't kick him out of the duo! I kicked him out of my house and I told him that he ended bam, but I never meant that we had split! Oh my god Dan what have I done?!"

D: "This isn't good Charlie. I'm coming to pick you up right now. Pack a bag, we're staying at Blair's. This needs sorting."

C: "O-o-o-ok"

~1 hour 30 Minutes Later~

I explained to my mum that I was having a "rehearsal weekend" at Blair's. I couldn't tell her the truth because I didn't even know what was going on myself. It was really awkward in the car, Dan didn't speak to me whole whole way there. I'd never seen him like that before. When we got there I was already in tears because I didn't know what was going to happen. I'd never seen Blair or Dan angry before - and right now I didn't want to either. We walked in and everyone was there. Joey, Jordi, Ollie, Ryan, Andy, Sophie, Kate, Mel, Sophie, Charis, Dani, Grace and Harvey. I knew this wasn't going to be good. Blair asked me to go into the kitchen and get some snacks. "Anything that you can find that will be enough for all of us." So I did. I found some large bags of Doritos and some sharing packs of cheese balls, hula hoops and stuff like that. When I went to take them to everyone, they'd all left. There was only one person in the front room when there had been 15 before. I hadn't noticed this person when I first got there. He was sat down crying, curled up into a ball in the corner, hiding behind the sofa. I couldn't see his face but I knew who he was and why he was crying. It was Leo - and it was all because of me.

*Leo's P.O.V*

When I got home after my argument with Charlie my mum knew straight away that I'd been crying. And after all of the bullying I swore to her that I'd never lie or hide being upset again. I had to explain what had happened so I did. And as soon as I'd finished she hugged me, told me it would be okay and went downstairs to call someone. I'd hoped it wasn't anything to do with Charlie, but if it was I would have preferred it to be his mum Karen rather than letting Blair and everyone know. After 20 minutes or so, she came to my room and said that I was going to go to Blair's house to sort it out. She packed a bag for me and we got in the car with my brother Joey to go. Blair lived about an hour or so away and when we got there, Mum dropped us off and everyone was waiting, except Charlie and Dan who were apparently on their way. I explained to Blair what had gone on and he asked me what I wanted to do. "I want to see how he reacts when he sees how upset I really am." I said. Everyone thought of ways to do this and we had to take into account that Charlie wasn't expecting me to be here. Eventually - we had a plan. "I know what to do!" said Mel. "We leave Leo and Charlie in a room together, with Leo really upset, and if Charlie cares he'll apologize and you can sort it out. If not then Blair needs to get hold of Simon, and fast..."

So that's what they did.
