Interruptions

Previously

"See, now you know that you don't have to worry about anything. Just call Jace and sort this thing out" Jade advised her.

"Yeah, I guess"

"Don't guess, just do" Jade insisted.

"Okay jeez," Charlotte said and pulled out her phone.

Now

When Charlotte was about to call his number, her mom called her from downstairs.

"Charlotte sweety, Jace is here."

"What?" Charlotte said shocked.

"Boi, you two are so made for each other" Jade gushed.

"Stop it Jade" Charlotte blushed.

"Charlotte honey" her mom called her again.

"Coming mom" Charlotte replied back.

"I can't do this Jade" Charlotte began to panic.

"What is wrong Charlotte? It's just Jace. Go talk to him."

"No Jade, I can't," Charlotte said firmly.

"Ughhhh, I can't take this anymore," Jade said frustrated and started pulling Charlotte out of her room and downstairs.

"Jade, stop" Charlotte protested but Jade wouldn't budge.

When they reached the living room, Jace saw Jade pulling Charlotte.

"Jade?" Jace said puzzled.

"Here, now talk to him," Jade said to Charlotte.

"I....I....uhhhh..."

"You know you are not using actual words Charlotte" Jade smirked.

"Angel, I....." Jace began but Charlotte cut him off.

"I am sorry Jace, I will call you and talk to you over the phone. Bye," Charlotte said and turned to go back to her room.

"Wait, what?" Jace grabbed her hand.

Charlotte turned to face him.

"Angel, would you please let me explain?" Jace pleaded her.

"Yeah Charlotte, let him explain" Jade chimed in.

"uh Jade, a little privacy please" Jace requested his best friend.

"Oh uh okay," Jade said and sat on the couch nearby.

"uh, Jade?" Jace said giving her the look.

"What? Don't mind me. You two talk" Jade said settling down on the couch as if she were getting ready to watch a movie.

"Really Pettyjohn?" Jace rolled his eyes annoyed.

"Pretend I am not here guys," Jade said and this time Charlotte spoke up before Jace could respond.

"Can we go to my room and talk Jace?" Charlotte said and took Jace's hand and led him to her room.

"Sure angel," Jace said shooting death glares at Jade who was chuckling and making funny faces at him.

Charlotte's room

Charlotte and Jace entered into her room and closed the door behind to avoid Jade or anyone else's interruption. 

Charlotte sat on her bed and patted the spot next to her signaling Jace to sit. Jace sat on her bed and turned to face her.

He blew out and began, "angel, I am sorry for yelling at you. I shouldn't have....." Charlotte cut him off.
