Give him a chance...

Charlotte's House

After Jace left, Kerry knocked on Charlotte's bedroom door and went in.

"You okay sweety?" her voice was full of concern.

"No" Charlotte replied sniffling.

"You know you should've let him explain sweety" Kerry began.

"Explain what mom, about how cheated on me?" Charlotte retorted angrily.

"Charlotte, you are my daughter and I love you so much but what you did was wrong, baby"

"Me? He was the one that cheated on me mom" Charlotte argued.

Kerry sighed, "sweety, what if it was a simple misunderstanding?"

"What is there to misunderstand mom? He kissed her right in front of my eyes" Charlotte teared up.

"If that were the case, why would he come to talk to you baby?"

Charlotte shook her head, "Because he is a jerk"

"Yes, a jerk who admitted that he loves you." Kerry gave Charlotte the look.

"He was just trying cover up his mistake" Charlotte argued.

"Okay, let's just say you are right................ So, you are saying that the boy who literally spent his entire weekend taking care of you when you were sick and who professed his feelings to you in front of me, your mother, is cheating on you?" Kerry paused for a moment.

"Weren't you the one that couldn't stop talking about how sweet and caring he was towards You when you were sick?" Kerry spoke further.

Charlotte knew her mother has a point because she herself was very touched by the way Jace cared for her even though he didn't have to.

"But, I saw them kissing..."

"Why don't you let him say what he has to say before you can come to any conclusion baby?" Kerry advised her.

Charlotte nodded looking down.

"So, are you going to call him?"

"No, I mean, I guess I wanna talk to him in person," Charlotte said hopping out of her bed.

"Thanks, mom" she hugged her mother.

"Anytime sweety" Kerry smiled softly.

Jace's house

"What do we do Glory?" Xander asked her.

"I don't know Xan but he is hurting and I can't see him like this" Glory said worried about her brother.

"Maybe you can talk to Charlotte" he suggested.

"I guess...." Glory was interrupted by the doorbell.

She opened the door revealing Charlotte.

"Is Jace home?" Charlotte asked in a small voice.

"Yes, come in Charlotte" Glory replied with a happy smile.

"C...Can I talk to him?" Charlotte asked hesitantly.

"Sure, he is in his room" Glory led the way and Charlotte followed her.

When they reached his room, Glory knocked on his door.

"Jace?" Glory called.

"Go away Glory, I don't wanna talk to anyone right now" Jace sniffled.

"Not even me?" Charlotte asked from the other side.

Jace sprang out of his bed on hearing her voice and opened the door immediately.
