The Scary Horror Story of Teenage Graduation

A little lesson in life. These people:

The Heroes
The Villains.
The Victims
The Tag-Alongs

They exist everywhere you go. Only in the big, real world they’re a lot more diverse and complicated.
Charlie Denver has been through hell and back for the sake of Liam Donner. But now she refuses to do it a second longer. Though the separation hurt her more than anything else, she gave him back his engagement ring and stepped out of his life for good. No matter how many times he came knocking on her door, she managed to turn him away.

And now she’s taking an even bigger step away from him.

Charlie has been accepted into Rosedale University for the Performing Arts. She can pursue her dreams of dancing, singing and writing. This finally separates her from Liam. Because Rosedale is in England.

While there, Charlie meets Aaron Snow. He’s like a match made in heaven for her. They have the same moral values, same aspirations, same passions. And Aaron is forever accepting of the fact that Charlie still has trouble getting over Liam.
So when Liam shows up in England, practically on Charlie’s door-step, and she turns him away with Aaron at her shoulder, Liam becomes determined to find a way to show her that he’s not like he was before. Staying with relatives, Liam goes in search of a job and desperately tries to set things in his own life straight, so that he can prove to Charlie once and for all that she really is his world.

Gee Williams, meanwhile, is Charlie's best friend. She's living with her in the apartment belonging to Charlie's mother whilst she waits for her rock star boyfriend to get back from his tour. It's pretty lonely for her on her own, though, watching Charlie with her perfect boyfriend Aaron, so when Liam turns up, accompanied by his best friend Sam, and Gee finds herself unexpectedly attracted to the latter of the two boys, just how far will she go to help herself through the loneliness she's been feeling?
And just how many times will she fall into Sam's arms before her boyfriend comes back?

This is the big, bad 'real world', and as Charlie, Gee and Liam will soon learn, it only get's harder after high school, and the bitches only get worse...

----------------------------

Charlie was comfortable.


It had been three months since she moved to England. Five months since she left Liam. Those first two months had been the hardest. Anything and everything reminded her of him, of the things they did together. Her left hand felt so empty for so long. No purity ring, no engagement ring, no nothing. She'd been a mess. If it wasn't for the few weeks of going on tour with Gee, she may have not recovered so well.

At the present moment she was curled up on the plushy couch in her boyfriend Aaron Snow's living room. They'd been friends since she got here, and about a month ago they'd started to date. He was in the kitchen, making them both a cup of hot chocolate.
'Aaron, do you have any chocolate?' she asked turning to look at him over the couch head. She'd adapted the English accent so quickly you wouldn't even know she was from America. 'I know I'm having hot chocolate already but...you know...I haven't had chocolate since....since yesterday evening! Shock, horror! How have I gone on so long?' she said, looking around in pretend despair. She made a little pout. 'I think I'm going to go into cardiac arrest.'

Aaron had been nothing but good to her. He understood that she had issues from her past and he was completely supportive. People at school called them 'perfect' all the time and sometimes Charlie thought maybe, just maybe, they were.



Ami knocked at Aaron's door once, then let herself in. With a swell of irritation she noticed Charlie sitting comfortably on the couch. Ugh, that stupid little whino! She was so miserable! Really, it was so unfair of her to bring all her problems to Aaron's doorstep!
'Hey, Aaron!' she said, closing the door and walking into the kitchen. She completely disregarded Charlie's existence. 'How are things?'


Charlie scowled as Ami, Aaron's sister, came in and made no attempt to be civil with her. How rude!
'Aaron, love, Gee says she'll be here soon. She's just got to pick up something from the shops. Something being chocolate, of course.'

Ami turned and frowned at Charlie.
'Oh, you're here,' she said, by way of greeting. Then she turned back to Aaron. 'Whatchu up to later?'

Ami scowled at the mention of Charlie's equally annoying friend Gee. That rock guys girlfriend.
'Hmph,' she said. 'It's alright, I'll get myself something.'

She went over to the fridge and pulled out one of Aaron's numerous can's of Heineken.
'Aaron, really, you've got so much bear in here! How do you drink it all?'
'Oh, I help,' said Charlie cheerily, trying hard at civilness with the sister-from hell. Ami just rolled her eyes at her and walked past her and to the other couch. Charlie gave a little from but then shrugged. She ran a hand through her hair, which had gone a lovely ginger colour that she was really fond of.
'Don't worry, Ami, we don't drink it all at once,' she said reassuringly. Ami looked at her for a moment.
'I should hope not. It'd give you a terrible beer belly. And, seeing as you're already a little bit of a porker...'

Charlie's mouth fell open. Okay, so she still wasn't skinny like Olivia. But she wasn't fat.
'I'd rather be a bit of a porker and eat all the chocolate I want than be skinny,' she said, trying to laugh at Ami's callous remark.
'See if you think that in a few years time,' Ami muttered. Charlie turned to Aaron with a pained expression that clearly read 'what the hell do I do?'. Even after going out with Aaron for a month, she still hadn't gotten used to Ami. And Ami most certainly hadn't gotten used to her!

The beginnings of a rain shower were just starting to fall from the sky as Ruby stepped out of her cab. Or taxi, rather. Stupid England with it's weird names for things, and strange spellings. It was going to take some getting used to. Ever since boarding the plane, she'd been having doubts. What if this was a mistake? Running away couldn't really be the greatest plan, could it? And then there was the outside chance that Charlie wouldn't want to see her. After all, she had Gee, and that new boyfriend of hers. What did she want her silly little half sister turning up on the doorstep for? Oh God, she thought, approaching the pandemonium on Aaron's doorstep. maybe I should have called ahead. Just turning up out of the blue is out of order, isn't it? Shit. She still hadn't registered what was going on up ahead, she was too lost in her own panic. Maybe Charlie was more a fan of etiquette now she lived in England, and announcing she was moving in would probably seem impolite if that was the case.

It wasn't until she locked eyes on Liam Donner that she realised something was going on.
" the fuck?... Donner?!" Ruby gaped at him and Sam in shock for a moment, wondering what the hell they were doing here. She looked over at Gee, who seemed just as outraged, and then finally found Charlie's anguished expression. Apparently, her arrival had been upstaged just a little bit. That made Ruby smile. Somehow, even when she had travelled halfway around the world without any warning and turned up on her sister's boyfriend's doorstep, she was still just background noise. Not that she minded. Drama was one thing Ruby wanted to avoid more than anything right now.

"er... any chance I could come in?" she asked awkwardly, pulling up her hood to keep out the rain, which was quickly starting to turn nasty. It lashed down now, soaking through the flimsy fabric of her high-tops in an instant. Perfectly fitting for whatever heartache that prick Donner must be going through right now. Apparently, he hadn't known anything about Aaron. Good. He deserved everything he got after what he'd put Charlie through. Frowning, Ruby resumed her original position, launching into a full-on verbal attack at Liam.

"What are you even doing here? Do you really think she'd want to see you, of all people? Get out of here Donner. You fucked up. It's time to accept it."

Ami watched the pandamonium that had broken loose in her brother's living room with a shocked expression. What the hell was with these American people? Why did they just keep showing up? They were like bloody roaches! One showed up, and then brought a whole bunch with them! PESTS!


Charlie watched the commotion, still in shock. Liam had turned up out of no where, with Sam at his heels. Gee had appeared and started screaming. And now, out of absolutely no where, her sister Ruby had appeared.
'Would everyone just SHUT UP!' she cried. There was a sudden silence in the room. Charlie felt her face go red as everyone turned to her.

'Um...Liam, I think I should talk to you privately for a moment. Aaron, baby, his is Liam and Sam and that's Ruby! My sister!' She ran to her and hugged her tightly. 'Ruby, love, oh I'm so happy you're here! I missed you so much! Just sit here with Gee and Aaron and stuff and, uh, me and Liam are gonna have a talk and then...and then I'm going to take you for a coffee, okay? Listen to me, I sound so different, huh?' Charlie gave a nervous laugh.

She then turned on Liam. The coldest, iciest glare was reserved for him. Never in her life had she looked at someone with so much seething hurt and pain.
'Get outside,' she said in a low, dangerous voice. 'I want to speak with you in private.'

Charlie watched Liam, cold and uncaring, even though her heart fluttered when he took her hands. She watched him as he begged her, watched as he pleaded.

Yes, he had come to England for her. He had come to England, burst into her boyfriend's house and promptly insulted him. And still she wanted to hold him and kiss him and pretend like nothing bad had happened between them. She wanted to walk away from here with her hand is his and a smile on her face.

But she knew she couldn't.

She could never, ever forget what he'd done. He'd crawled back to Olivia after everything they'd been through, after getting her to sleep with him in the first place. She took her hands out of his slowly, caringly, as if he were a delicate child.
'No, Liam,' she said softly. 'Aaron is not a bastard. He's a darling, he's a sweetheart and he would never do what you did.' Her voice wasn't angry. It was dead. Cold. It was hard to turn him away. 'Goodbye, Liam.'

Charlie watched as Liam looked at her, a little shocked. She'd never denied him before. Not when he'd begged like that. When he bent to kiss her she turned her face automatically, even though she longer for him to kiss her.

'It was...interesting to see you again, Liam,' she said softly, her voice still with its English lilt. 'But I'm not coming back to you. I still love you.' She put an affectionate hand on his cheek. 'I probably always will. You were my first love, my first lover. But you have to let go of that. I have to let go of that. I'm a different girl now, Liam. And I won't risk loosing all this progress to go back to pain and discomfort. To never being sure. I couldn't keep you, no matter what I did. So if you went back to her after all I gave you, who's to say you won't do it again? Besides, I've gotten used to abstinence again. I'm not all that ready to give it up. It'd make it even harder for you.'

She forced a pained smile.

'You'll find someone, Liam. Go back and marry Olivia if you want to. Find a pretty English rose. But give up on us Liam. It;s the best thin for both of us. Really.'

He was on the step bellow her, but even then she had to stretch up to kiss his forehead.
'I'll always love you somewhere in my heart. Just not in the most important place anymore.'

Tears filled her eyes as she turned and went back into the house, not pausing to look at him like in all the movies. She couldn't bear it.

She walked into the living room, her head high.
'Sam. You can leave now. Ruby, we have so much to catch up on! Just...just give me a moment...'

She broke away from them and went to Aaron's room, threw herself on his bed and cried and cried into his pillow, feeling as if her heart had broken all over again
