What's wrong, Jake?

*shrugs* Dunno, just...

You know Jake, anytime Emma and I do something you're welcome. And if you ever just want to hang out with me and Barty or me any and of my other mates or with just me you're welcome.

You siblings love you very much. We don't want you to felt like the odd man, okay?

Jake, we want you to join in you know. Don't feel left out, mate.

Jacob? *looks him over seriously* You okay?

*bites his lip hard and nods slowly*

M'fine...

*steps close and presses a kiss to his cheek*

Don't lie to me, Jacob Charles Crouch. You know I hate that.

The things we were talking about the other day?

*locked*

There was a party, at our house last night.

Everythings just wrong, Charlie.

Oh Jakey. *wraps her arms around him* I know... but you can't let it consume you.

*relaxes into her arms just a little*

Spent most of the time reading, well when they weren't making me meet girlfriend's and boyfriend's and whatever. Uncle Evan is seeing someone too now.

*strokes his back*

You always read in crowds. Girlfriends and boyfriends? Hmm. Should have invited me. *winks* Is he? Is she nice?

*sighs softly, leaning against her hands, closing his eyes*

It was a spur of the moment thing, but yes, I should have.

I dunno, she wasn't there, but she seems so. From what he said.

*presses her face into his neck*

I was teasing Jake. That whole girlfriend/boyfriend thing... I mean, I know I'm not-I mean, I'm your best friend not your... *blushing*

*nods* She'd have to be... Your uncle doesn't seem the type to just go with someone because they're pretty, you know? Like, it has to go deeper than that.

*flushes deeply and nods*

Well, we've... *flushes more* W-we might be?

No, he isn't. At all. He hasn't been with anyone for at least the time I can remember.

*softly* We could be. If you wanted...

Wow. That's a long time to be alone.

*flushes and nods slowly*

I think I want to. *lowers eyes* I l-love you, Charlotte.

*nods* It is, yes.

*smiles*

You want to be my boyfriend... *grins* I love you too, Jacob.

*frowns just a little* Poor Evan.

*kisses her softly* I do.

But he's seeing someone now...he seems happier.

Good. I want to be your girlfriend. *smiles and kisses him back*

That's a good thing. Happier is always good.

*flushes and then grins* Sure? Because I can be quite boring and emo.

Yes, I agree, happier is always good. You make me happier, Charlie, just by being around. Just by being you.

I'm positive, Jake. And you're not boring. EMO on the other hand. *winks*

You make me happier too, Jake. You always have done.

Well, why not join in? I'm sure no one would mind.

Don't feel a part of everything...

Everything?

My family.

But...how could you not feel a part of your family? They're your family.

*shrugs a little* I don't know, I just don't.

Never have done.

That's... awful.
