The next two hours passed in a blur for Charlie. Ryan had brought her up to the castle, where Chris and the boys and girls were with Tegan and Lord Henry. They left with Tegan the minute everything went down.

Apparently, Charlie had been cleaned up and had talked to the cops, and she wouldn't be going to prison when they all went back to America, because it was an act of self defense. The cops didn't even think it was worth bringing to court, because not only was Ricky now dead, the whole thing was caught on camera, and you can clearly see it as being an act of self defense.

When the cops and paramedics left, with the corpse of Ricky, Charlie broke down crying.

Ryan, Chris, Gaia, Kylie, Jesse, Harley, Jaime, Vinny, Angelo, Ghost, Balz and Kuza, Aspen and Jayden gathered around her, and hugged her. "I.. I killed him.." Charlie gasped. "Charlie, you didn't have a choice." Kuza said. Charlie looked at him. "But what if I did have a choice? What if I let him stab me? That is all he came here for.. and I killed him for it!" She said.

"Charlie, if you hadn't have done that, it would be you leaving dead in the back of that ambulance, and not him. What would Tegan do without her mom? Or dad, for that matter. You guys could have been seriously hurt, by fighting against him." Chris told her.

Ryan shook his head. "I don't care if I get hurt, I just need Charles and Tegan to be safe. Guy's, any of us could have been hurt or killed tonight, and it is just very unfortunate that Ricky was in fact the guy that got out of jail and managed go come here. We have two options to chose from for the rest of the night. We continue performing, and let the night go on even longer than it was meant to to amuse the fans, or we make an announcement tonight, and say that we will redo the gig next week or the week after and keep all the tickets valid, and have heavier security, just for safety." He said.

Charlie took Tegan off of Jaime, and shook her head. "What do you guys want to do?" She asked. Everyone looked around at each other, and nodded. "We think that we should talk to Lord Henry, reschedule the gig for next week or the week after, and keep the tickets valid, and get heavier security. There is absolutely no way that any of us are going to be able to face thousands of people, after what happened tonight. Henry has to understand." Aspen said.

Ryan and Charlie nodded in agreement.

"I've gotta call Tobias. He went back to the hotel after Ghost's set, because he felt sick." Jayden said, and took out his phone, and walked away from the group, dialing Tobias's number and waiting for him to answer.

"I'm going to find Lord Henry." Charlie said, and went upstairs in the castle, and knocked on the door of the office/library room.

"Enter." Lord Henry said.

Charlie opened the door, and walked in, Tegan still in her arms.

Charlie's P.O.V

"Lord Henry, do you have a minute to spare??" I asked. Henry looked up from his desk, and nodded. "Ah, miss Olson! Of course I do, please, sit. Hello Tegan!" He said. I sat across from him.

"Sir, something has happened. My adoptive brother has broken out of jail back in Pennsylvania, and he managed to make it here to Ireland. I don't know how, but he got into the gig with a knife and he tried to stab me. Long story short, he has left your premises dead. I swear, everything on my part was entirely in self defense, and I hope you can come to understand that. The gardaí (*) said they will contact you with a full report in the next week. My band, Motionless In White and Ghost were all super psyched to play here at Slane Castle, and we want to be that psyched again. We want to move our gig until next week, if that is in anyway possible." I explained.

(*) gardaí (guard-ee): the Irish police force.

Lord Henry sat and listened patiently to my explanation of everything that has happened in the past hours.

"Charlie, I am very happy that you came to me straight away with this issue. I understand you said that the gardaí will contact me, and I am happy that they are going to do so. I am so very sorry that this had to happen tonight, and with your brother also.." Lord Henry said.

I felt myself flinch as Lord Henry called Ricky my brother. I didn't like hearing him get that title, but I don't want to correct a man with the same high up status that Lodd Henry holds.

He trailed on  and on, and said that we can restart freshly next week, and keep all our tickets valid. I felt so relieved when he finished, and I was glad to have him on our side. I thanked him, and left him in the study by himself, as he was.

When I went back downstairs, everyone was freaking out.

"Lads, lads, lads, lads.. what's happening??" I asked. When no one answered me, I looked around.

And then.. I seen her.

Ah fuck.

Ah balls.

Oh shit.

Riley.

(For those who don't remember, Riley is Angelo's ex girlfriend who left him over a note earlier in the story, and admitted in the note, that she cheated on him with Ricky.)

"Riley.." I gasped. Riley spun around to look at me, and glared at me. "It was you!!" She yelled at me. Her cheeks were red and puffy from what looked like crying, and her eyes were bloodshot. I gave Tegan to Ryan, and he brought her to another room. "Boys, go to Ryan and Tegan please." I said.

The boys looked around at each other, hesitating to move. Angelo looked like he wanted to cry. He shook his head, and walked away, out of the foyer, and into the same room Ryan and Tegan went into. The boys followed him in pursuit.

I watched as Chris turned and looked at Gaia, who nodded in encouragement, and he kept walking, being the last one to enter into the room, and closed the door behind him.

"How could you?!! You killed him!! He's gone because of you!!!" Riley screamed at me. I nodded. "So, maybe he is gone at my hands, but no one, and I mean no one, comes for me and my family. I'm not even going to say "and friend's" because my friends are my family." I replied, calmly.

Riley took a step towards me. "How could you do this? You hurt him, and now he's going to be put into a box in the ground, and I'm going to be left with a bastard of a child that I-I  didn't even want!!!" She yelled.

I felt my jaw drop.

Child?
