Charlie could barely sleep the night that everything went down. Despite her- or rather, Ricky's- parents constant calling her phone (she never answered) and the thought of her so-called brother rotting in a jail cell for the rest of his life, she didn't know what was keeping her awake. Ryan was finding it hard to sleep too. This had to be the most hellish night he had ever had.
If seeing Charlie is upset over her parents lying to her wasn't enough already, and then being held at gunpoint by a guy who he used to consider to be a brother wasn't enough then what would be enough? What would be enough to end their suffering?
At four am, Tegan was asleep, but neither Charlie or Ryan were asleep. Both of them were sat up in bed, wide awake. "Charles??" Ryan asked, softly. Charlie sighed. "Yeah?" She asked. "Are you okay?" Ryan asked her. "Mhm." Charlie murmured.
Ryan moved closer to his girlfriend and wrapped his arms around her. Charlie rested her head on Ryan's shoulder. "Are you okay?" She asked him, quietly. "Mm.. yeah, I'm okay. I'm thinking whenever we're all up and showered later that we should clean up the house a bit. I know yesterday was stressful but we can take it easy today." Ryan replied.
Charlie nodded. "Sounds good. It looks like we're gonna have a few weeks to ourselves anyways before we even hear about any sort of a court case." She explained. Ryan covered his mouth and yawned. "Exactly.. we should try get some sleep, or we'll be up until dawn at this rate. I'll get up when Tegan wakes up later, okay?" Ryan told his girlfriend.
"Ry, it's genuinely okay, you got up with her yesterday, I'll get up with her, we can take it in turns, okay? You're right, let's get some sleep." Charlie agreed and the two lay down, eventually falling asleep.
Tegan woke up around eight that morning. Charlie got up, and pulled a hoody on over her pyjamas, and went to Tegans cot beside her bed and took her up and brought her downstairs.
Tegan had her head rested on Charlie's shoulder and Charlie was holding her tightly let gently. She went into the kitchen and made Tegan a bottle and then went into the living room, and sat down. She turned on the TV and went to Netflix, and turned on the Oasis documentary: Supersonic. She then began feeding Tegan her bottle.
Whilst feeding Tegan her bottle, Charlie became engrossed in Supersonic. She found it fascinating how the two Gallagher brothers (Noel and Liam) were able to form a band together, and play onstage together, even though they hated each other with a passion. She also found that their mother is from Sligo in Ireland. She had forgotten how much she loved Oasis. Fourteen year old her was fangirling on the inside.
They had definitely been part of her idols.
Marilyn Manson.
Metallica.
Oasis.
Ghost.She burped Tegan when she was done her bottle and sat her up gently on her lap, against her. Tegan fell asleep, not too long later. Charlie ended up finishing the documentary that morning. It was so damn fascinating to her, yet she didn't know why. A British rock band shouldn't mean that much to her, but they did.
When she finished the documentary, she turned off the TV and brought Tegan upstairs, and placed her back into her cot. Charlie lay back down on her bed and wrapped her arms around Ryan.
To her, Ryan and Tegan were the only family she had left. Of course she regarded the other Motionless In White boys and girls as her brothers and sisters- Including Kuza and whomever else- but Tegan was her daughter and Ryan was her boyfriend and they were her only family.
She didn't regret not answering her phone to Ricky's parents last night after everything had happened with Ricky and his stupid fucking friends. They weren't her parents, and she was ashamed to have even regarded them as family now. It sounded selfish, seeing as she called them her parents all her life and they raised her, but no one could blame her.
Charlie heard her phone buzz under her pillow. She turned around and took it out from under the pillow and looked at the screen. It was a message in the Hellraisers band groupchat.
A- Aspen
N- Noah
C- Charlie
J- JaydenN- hey guys, it's Noah's boyfriend, Jake, here. Noah took a turn last night and he is currently back in the hospital. He collapsed out of no where and I ended up having to ring 911 for him. We have just been told that he is going to require immediate surgery once they find out exactly what had happened. They think it is a collapsed lung. He asked me to tell you guys because he can't type and is currently on oxygen. Hope you guys are okay xo
C- oh fuck.. man, what the fuck? Tell him that Ryan, Tegan and I said to get better soon. Tegan misses her uncle Noah, I'll try bring her in to see him sometime during the week. I hope you're okay, Jake. It must have been terrifying for you. We actually had a bit of a problem here last night as well.
N- it was a huge shock, but I'm okay, and I know Noah will be okay too. What happened?
C- a lot. Ricky got home from jail. I was told I'm adopted and I'm actually Irish, not half Irish and have American the way I was told. Ricky hit Gaia and now she has a massive bruise across her face, my house is wrecked and he basically held Ryan at gunpoint.. and Noah is going to be fine, we all know he is..
N- I just read that out to Noah and his eyes just went wide. Please tell me that Ricky is gone back to jail, what in the fuck? Is Ryan okay??
C- everyones okay. Neither of us could sleep last night, though. I fell asleep around five am and I woke at eight to feed Tegan.
N- man that is so fucked, I'm so sorry. Also, Noah is delighted that he will be able to see Tegan during the week.
C- awh, that's sweet. I promise I'll bring her into him.

Charlie shoved her phone back underneath her pillow, and rewrapped her arms around Ryan.
She thought over the events of the past twenty four hours. It was like a really bad thriller movie. It felt so Sinematic and it was horrible.
