Chapter 4: You're Welcome

Charlie POV

I looked over at Rory, his mouth was wide open. Just then Jesse and Adam, the real Adam, started walking in our direction. Rory walked over to Adam and slapped him across the face. "Did you put him up to this?" Adam looked over to space where a green-eyed twin stood.

"What do you mean by that, Rory?" He looked over to his brother as if to say 'What the heck dude.' Jesse stood back and Riley quickly joined him. They had the right to, this was between the four of us. I had to admit even if Rory broke up with me, I would be happy if they were together. "Jesse, back me up, dude. I didn't say anything to Charles."

"He's right, Adam didn't say anything to Charles. I don't think he did anyway." Jesse fidgeted uncomfortably.

"Oh yeah well what's this?" Charles pulled out his phone along with Adam's and showed us the texts.

"What's up, you know I don't like you talking to me."

"I know, but it's an emergency. Please listen to me for once Charles."

"Fine, what do you want. What's your emergency?"

"Charlie has some dirt on me. I need you to be your creepy self and find something on her that I can use."

"Sure, but what do I get in return?"

"I have a date with the co-captain of the cheerleaders, is that good enough for you."

"Sound good, I'm off to... well, you know."

"Yeah, get something good." I couldn't believe it. People said that Adam was nice and Charles was the creep. It's the other way around. Wow.

"Adam now might be a good time to tell you. I don't want to be a couple anymore. I like Jesse and he likes me. Right?" Jesse gave a curt nod.

"Sorry, but when I was running by. She just looked so sad, and you've cheated on her so many times. I liked her, and I told you that. The next time I saw you, you were her boyfriend. She likes me, not you." Adam looked downright mad.

Rory POV

Adam did something that we both refused to ever do. He slapped Jesse across the face, and when Charles jumped in to protect the kid Adam wasn't the only one surprised. The red-haired boy stepped in front of Charles as if to say 'it was my fault. I shouldn't have done that.' He was brave I had to give him that. "I'm sorry. It was my fault, but we got to talking. We have more in common than you two do, and I'm sorry Adam if that makes you upset. That doesn't give you the right to slap me though. For the sake of everyone here, and especially Riley, I think we should stop being friends."

"He's right. I'll be his new jock friend. Protect him from all the bullying he's gonna go through now because of you, and your big mouth. Sorry, but I'm done with this. After all of the drugs that you've done coach is gonna get a mouthful to tell the team. Which the next time we have practice you will not be a part of. Charles, you're a pretty cool guy. You're not like what anyone says, but why did you take a picture of my girlfriend."

"I do it for the thrill dude, I do it for the thrill." His voice sounded low and mellow when he spoke with his real voice. "Plus, sometimes people give me money. That's the upside to being the king of stealth." I snickered at his mediocre response. Riley rolled her eyes, Jesse facepalmed, and Charlie sighed in disbelief.

He did have a nice voice, but with the rumors about him going around, and half of them that his brother came up with was intense. People wanted someone they could use for a punching bag or the blame for their girlfriend cheating on them. He was always there, and he was always ready. He knew everything about everyone. That is why people called him Charles the Creep, or Charles the Peep. He never made a sound, but when the person got a text the next day, saying "I know your secret, and I won't keep it. Unless you do something for me." I never realized that he could be a cool guy to hang out with. He wasn't in the stalker business for sex or money, he just wanted the thrill. No one had the guts to investigate him. They didn't even know it was him. He only told the people he wanted. Charlie was one of them, and then she told me, Riley, and Adam. Then, in turn, Adam must have told Jesse. That was the way he liked it.

"What? I am more stealthy than all of you combined." Jesse stared in disbelief.

Jesse POV

I thought Charles stalked Riley. "Hey, Charles did you like, I don't know, try to rape Riley or anything?" He looked at me in shock. He looked over at Adam.

"Dude, I may have taken pictures of people, but I would never stoop as low as to steal another person's woman. Sure, I wanted to be with her, but I knew that that would never happen with all of the rumors going around about me." for once I felt bad for someone other than me or my friends.

"Hey well, that's a good thing. I would have to have rebuked you. The Bible says do not kill, but thou shalt not steal another one's woman. I think that goes for two of us, right Rory?" He gave a nod of agreement. Adam was still standing there most likely in shock. I would never try to hurt him.
