Charlotte: I.......
Henry: What? Did it just slip your mind to tell your.......freaking......best friend whom you've spent practically every waking moment with that you were leaving?
Charlotte opens her mouth to say something but before she can, henry talks over her.
Henry: A MONTH!!! A.....MONTH....you wait until one....one.........OnE MONTH to tell me you're leaving?.......really??.....seriously?!?!.....after all we've been through???
Charlotte: WHAT DOES IT MATTER IF I TOLD YOU A MONTH OR A YEAR BEFORE? IT WOULDN'T HAVE MATTERED THEN!!!

Charlotte: YES!!! YES it wouldn't have mattered!!!! Have you gotten that you and everybody else never listened to me back then huh?........I could have told you I was an alien and you wouldn't have heard me!!¡!.......All you guys ever did was ignore me and talk over me!!!! For goodness sake henry, you didn't even know that me!!!........Your so called best friend had a boy friend!!!
She was angry now.
Charlotte: all you ever did was ignore me, talk over me like what I said didn't matter and then go off on your little adventures with ray!!! Coming back only when you needed help!!! Did you ever just want to hang out? Just want to talk anymore?
Henry: is that why you did it? Huh? To punish me or something? Is that why you're moving to the other side of the world where they probably have sucky internet so that you won't have to see me again?!?!
Charlotte: my decision had nothing to do with you!!!!
Henry: I don't believe you!!!!
Charlotte: I don't care what you believe!!!! I'm leaving swell view for me!!!!
Henry: ha!!!
Charlotte: YEAH.....for me....CAUSE FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE...I'M NO LONGER PUTTING YOU FIRST!!!!!
The tears are pouring now.
Charlotte: I came to work at the mancave for you!!!!..........to make sure YOU didn't get hurt!!! I put my own life at risk so many times for you!!!!! For goodness sake i got kidnapped by a criminal because of YOU!!!!.....Nearly got myself killed for YOU!!!!!
Charlotte: I bet you didn't even know that I got early admission into so many colleges but no I stayed because at the time I couldn't bare to leave you!!!!! And for what? Huh?.......... FOR WHAT?!?.........For people who never appreciated me and made me feel like a burden and a bother to them!!!! FOR PEOPLE WHO TALKED OVER ME ALL THE TIME?!?.......FOR A FRIEND WHO IGNORED ME!!!!

Charlotte's hand swings and slaps henry across the face. The tears pour in multitudes. A heavy silence settles in. Choking the both of them.
Charlotte: you.....ungrateful....jerk....after....everything I've done.....how can you say that to me......
She spits out the words before turning to leave. She opens the door, causing piper, Mr and Mrs hart to take off running.L
