Pick up from pg. 21

Meanwhile back at Sage apartment Sage was taking care on Charles bruises.  She rememeber the time she took care of her father wwhen he got hurt.

"Maybe Mrs Sutton is right maybe I shoud think about becoming a nurse....what am saying me dress in white being around sick people gross." said Sage to herself.

Then Charles cell phone rang and Sage saw it and found out it was Marla.  Sage was shocked and wondering should she or should she not pick up and answered Charles cell phone.

"I got it." said Sage with the idea.

Sage picked up the phone and disguised her voice as Cassie.

"Hey Mrs. A this it's me Cassie." lied Sage.

"Cassie!?!?!  What are you doing answering Charles' phone?  I thought Charles was coming back from your house?" confused Marla.

"He did. So I decided to go visit my baby." said Sage with a fake Cassie's voice.

"Why!?!?" confused Marla.

"Because without Charles I'm lonely and so miserable.  I miss Charles." laughed Sage quietly.

"Cassie you just got back home and Charles just left a few minutes ago." said Marla.

"I know but I miss Charles, I need me some Charles,  I can't live without him.  I will without him." said Sage as snicker and continued to disguise her voice.

"Cassie are you sure you're alright?  You don't quite sound like yourself." confused Marla.

"Oh nothing I just have a little cold.  You know a little change in the weather. laughed Sage with fake Cassie's voice.

"Well you better not give your cold to Charles or my mind grandbabies." said Marla.

Suddenly Charles started moaning in pain.

"Hmmmm my ribs...MOM!!!" cried Charles in pain.

"What was that?  Is that Charles?" asked Marla.

"No that's the televison." lied Sage.

"Put Charles on the phone.  I need to speak with him." Marla demanded.

"Oh umm what I can't Marla you're breaking up...I'm losing you." said Sage as she hung up.

Marla was shocked and confused.

"Whew that was a close one." said Sage.

"Ummm what's going on?" asked Charles as he tried to wake up.

"Relax baby just go right back to sleep.  I'm going to take real good care of you." said Sage as she stroke Charles' hair.

Charles quickly went back to sleep.  Meanwhile back at Marla's house.

"So have you spoke with Charles yet?" asked Dana.

"No I just got off the phone with Cassie.  She was over at Charles apartment." said Marla.

"Wait a minute she was just over at her place." confused Dana.

"I know she's claim that she misses Charles." said Marla.

"Marla they are young and in love." said Dana.

"Something isn't adding up.  And this doesn't make sense at all.  And I could've sworn Cassie sounded alot like Sage." said Marla.

"Marla they had a long flight." said Dana.

"Something fishy around and I am going to find out what is going on now!!!!" said Marla.

"Oh no you don't." said Dana stopping Marla.

"Dana I am Charles' mother and he has been away for awhile.  I want to see my son." said Marla.

"Marla they had a long flight and a long day.  They need sometime to relax.  Cassie just helping Charles to settle in again.  That's all.  Just chill.  You have the whole day tomorrow to spend time with Charles so chill.  Call Bill up and have some fun." said Dana.

"(Sigh) I guess you're right.  But I really have a funny feeling something isn't right." said Marla.

So Marla called Bill and took him up on his offer and went out.

The next day at Sage apartment Charles woke up. He was in pain.

"Ahhh my ribs." groaned Charles.

Then suddenly Charles discovered he wasn't in his apartment he was at Sage and he didn't had any clothes.  Then he turned over and saw Sage sleeping next to him.

"Morning handsome!" said Sage!

"SAGE WHAT THE HELL!??!" shocked Charles.

"It's about time you woke up." said Sage.

"How? What? Where?" confused Charles.

"Wow that slut Uncle really knocked you out cold.  He knock you out so bad you don't even remember." laughed Sage.

Then Charles started to remember.

"Oh yes now I remember...I don't know how he got into my apartment." cnfused Charles.

"Word of advice Charles it wouldn't kill you to lock your door every once in awhile." said Sage.

"That damn Gisselle.  She is trying to destroy my life." said Charles.

"And people say I'm a slut.  What is up with her anyway?" asked Sage.

"I don't know she tried to get me in trouble with Cassie and now she trying to get me in hot waters with her Uncle." said Charles.

"Can you say pyscho?" asked Sage.

"Yeah the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.  That Uncle of hers isn't exactly running on a full tank either." said Charles.

"If I was you I would try to stay away from them." said Sage.

"Yeah but how did they end up in your apartment?" asked Charles.

"Let's just say that I am alot stronger than I look." said Sage.

"But how did I end up in bed with you...SAGE DID YOU...." freaked up Charles then Sage interrupted.

"Chill up nothing happened.  All I did wra your wounds and cover your bruises with some iodine which did such a good job.  But nothing happened." said Sage.

"You sure?" asked Charles.

"Charles I swear.  I couldn't take advantage of you even if I tried.  Charles I'm HIV positive remember?" reminded Sage.

"Oh yeah...I better call my mom and explain everything." said Charles.

"No need for that. I've already took care of that myself." said Sage.

"Who are you and what the hell have you done with Sage." shocked Charles.

"Very funny. Charles believe or not I do have my moments." said Sage.

"Well I better call Cassie." said Charles.

"No need in the hurry.  You owe me Charles and since we are both in bed together we can both play and fool around.You're not married yet and I do a great impression of Cassie." said Sage.

"HA! Nice try but it'll never going to happen...again!!!!  BTW you're HIV positive remember.  Now if you excuse me I'm going to call my fiance'." said Charles as he left.


"You know there still a such thing as saying THANK YOU!!!" yelled Sage.

"Oh God how will I explain this to my mom?  And more importantly how would why explain this to Cassie.  I hope she doesn't take this the wrong way." worried Charles.

Suddenly Charles cell phone rang, he picked up & answered.

"Hello?" said Charles.

"Hey Charles!" Cassie answered.

"CASSIE!" shrieked Charles.

"Charles is everything alright?" wondered Cassie.

"Oh everything is just fine beautiful." lied Charles.

"Charles you sound like you have seen a ghost." worried Cassie.

"Cassie I just woke up...so how did you sleep beautiful?" asked Charles.

"I slept okay... it's hard sleeping by myself.  I gotten so used to you in bed with me." said Cassie.

"I know!  I miss you too.  But once we are married we will spend a whole lot of time in bed together." said Charles.

"Boy you so nasty lol." laughed Cassie.

"I know I am.  So any plans for today?" asked Charles.

"Well we can't do anything today. I want to spend time with the twins before we go back to school tomorrow." said Cassie.

"But beautiful I was hoping we can some more time making more twins together." said Charles.

"Calm down Tarzan we had our fun back in Hawaii now we both have to get back normal.  We have plenty of playtime for our real honeymoon." said Cassie.

"Baby I can't wait that long." whined Charles.

"I know you can. I have confidence." said Cassie.

"Oh okay I'll wait for you." said Charles.

"That's how like to hear my man talking." said Cassie.

"Well I have to go and visit my mom anyway." said Charles.

"Wait a minute didn't you visit your mother last night?" asked Cassie.

"Yes...I mean...no." said Charles as he began to panic.

"Charles are you sure you alright?" worried Cassie.

"Cassie I fine...it just that I was going to see her last night but something had came up." said Charles.

"Like what?" asked Cassie.

"Let's just say I had an unexpected visitor last night." said Charles as he looked at his brusied ribs.

"Oh okay.  Well can you atleast come over after you visit your mother  You need to try to spend some more time with the twins." said Cassie.

"I will beautiful.  I just need to get myself situated." said Charles.

"Oh Charles I got to go. I think that's Mrs. A on the other line." said Cassie.

"Mom!" shocked Charles.

"Yeah I better take this call." said Cassie.

"NO!!!! I mean Cassie don't anwser that call." said Charles.

"Why not?" confused Cassie.

"Just don't okay not until I arrive over here." said Charles.

"Charles I really think you should gets some rest before you visit your mother & arrive over here." said Cassie.

"Cassie please do what I say." said Charles.

"Fine!" said reluntant Cassie as she hung up.

"Whew that was close.  Now to head over to mom so she won't worry." said Charles.

"Lying Charles?" said Sage as she overheard everything.

"Sage please mind your business because you are not helping." said Charles.

"Charles you know it wouldn't be as bad as you think it is if you just tell them what has happened." said Sage.

"What!?! Me ending up in your apartment naked in bed with you?!?! Get serious Sage." snapped Charles.

"No how about telling them that you got beat up by a Giselle crazy ass Uncle and I nurse you back to health instead of leaving you alone dying in the apartment." said Sage.

"Sage please just let me handle this." said Charles.

"Alright but don't say I never warned you. And Charles just in case Cassie dumps you haha you are always welcome back in my apartment." said Sage as she walked around in her panties and returned back to her apartment.

"This girl needs to put some pants on." annoyed Charles.

"Meanwhile back at the Suttons household.

"Forget it I better take this call." said Cassie as she got ready to answer Marla phone.

"Hello?" Cassie answered.

"Cassie put Charles on the phone." said Marla.

"He's not here." said Cassie.

"You mean he just left?" confused Marla.

"Charles left last night." said Cassie.

"Wait a minute you told me that Charles as over here and he spend the night with you." said Marla.

"WHAT!?!?  I never said that." shocked Cassie.

"Cassie are you and Charles playing games or something?  I called last night and you answered my son cell phone that he was staying over here." said Marla.

"I'm sorry Mrs. A but I have no idea what you are talking about.  I never did that honestly." said Cassie.

"Cassie it was your voice." angered Marla.

Then suddenly the twins came into Cassie's room.

"Good morning Mommy!" said Kalie & Colin in unison.

"Sorry Mrs. A I have to call you back the twins are up." said Cassie.

"Mommy, grandma made breakfast and it's ready." said Kalie.

"Please sit next to us mommy." said Colin.

"Gotta go Mrs. A." said Cassie hanging up.

"Cassie don't you hang up." yelled Marla.

But it was too late.

"Hey morning you two.  I so good to see my precious babies so bright and early this morning." said Cassie hugging them.

"Mommy are you going to sit with us at the table?" asked Colin.

"Of course I love sitting next to my two special people in my life." said Cassie.

"Mommy are you and daddy going out of town again?" asked Kalie.

"No at least not for awhile." said Cassie.

"Good because we missed you and daddy." said Colin.

"Please this leave us again." cried Kalie as her and Colin hugged their mother.

Cassie was touched and started to cry alittle as she hugged the twins.

"I promise I never you two behind ever again." cried Cassie.

Meanwhile back at Marla's place, Marla was shocked and angry with the phone conversation with Cassie that she decided to get to the bottom of this and find out what was going on.

"Marla where are you going?" asked Dana.

"Over to Charles apartment I'm going to find what's going on.  And Charles better be telling the truth." said Marla as she stormed out.

Meanwhile the Sutton family came down for  breakfast.

"Come and get it everybody." said Jenn.

"What are we having?" asked Eddie.

"Well since Cassie is back I've made her favorite...pancakes." said Jenn.

"Thanks mom!" said Cassie.

"Jenn why did you made breakfast...I told you I wanted to make a special breakfast for Cassie." said Eddie.

"Because I wanted to make it a special breakfast." said Jenn.

"Thank God!" relieved Tay.

"Excuse me!" said Eddie.

"Nothing Dad." laughed Tay.

"That what I've thought." said Eddie.

"Lizzie where's Kendra?" asked Jenn.

"She's still in my bedroom in bed...she refuse to come down." said Lizzie.

"She's still upset." said Eddie.

"You think you and dad did the right thing?" asked Tay.

"Of course they did Tay.  Kendra needs to be with her family and a good enviroment." said Nate.

"Kendra may not know it but this is the best thing for her right now." said Jenn.

"Lizzie go get Kendra downstairs." said Eddie.

"Okay." said Lizzie.

"We'll try to talk to Kendra again." said Jenn.

"So when will Kendra be with her grandparents?" asked Nate.

"Actually we're planning to take Kendra to her grandparents today." said Jenn.

"Or dragged her one." said Eddie sarcasticly.

"Eddie." moan Jenn,

"Just joking...I'm sorry if I sound like we're kicking her out the house but with Nate, the twins, Lizzie, Tay, and Cassie all living in one roof we are running out of rooms." said Eddie.

"But it's still a big house.  Let's change the subject so Cassie while you were over in Hawaii I hope you were able to find time to finished some of your homework." said Jenn.

"Yeah you're graduating pretty soon and I've been looking to seeing my little girl walk the stage and that diploma." said Eddie.

"Knowing Cassie her and Charles are probably too busy praticing their honeymoon together." joked Tay.

Cassie kicked Tay.

"Owwww MOM!!!!" yelled Tay.

"Tay leave your siser alone." said Eddie.

"Don't worry dad I finised my assignments and emailed them to all of my teachers. I'm all caught up." said Cassie.

"So what are you going to do on your first day back Cassie?" asked Nate.

"Well Charles and I are going to hang and spend time with the twins." said Cassie.

"It's about time." said Tay.

"TAY!!!!" anger Eddie.

"Sorry Dad." said Tay.

"Anway, I want to spend as much time with as possible." said Cassie.

"That's sound like a wonderful idea Cassie." said Jenn.

"Yeah the twins will love that." said Nate.

"Thanks everybody!" said Cassie.

Suddenly Lizzie ran downstair stunned.

"Lizzie what's wrong?" asked Jenn.

"It Kendra...she's not in the bedroom.  I've looked everywhere.  I went into the bathroom and the window was open." said Lizzie.

"Oh no she has ran away." said Eddie.

"We got to find her Eddie." said Jenn.

"Jenn I think Kendra have already made her choice." said Eddie.

"No way Kendra is still a child and there is no telling what may happened to her." said Jenn.

"Look I don't like this no more than you do Jenn now I know kids like Kendra she cannot be helped. Now we have done everything we can to help Kendra." said Eddie.

"Eddie I know kids like Kendra as well. And kids like Kendra end up either in streets attacked, thrown in jail or worst dead." said Jenn.

"Jenn I know you mean well but you have to learn to accept the fact that Kendra does not want to be help." said Eddie.

"I won't accept that Eddie.  You of all people should know that.  There is still hope for that girl and I'm going to find her with or without your help." said Jenn.

"I'm coming with you Jenn." said Nate.

"NATE!" shocked Eddie.

"Sorry Dad but I'm with Jenn on this one.  One thing I learned from you is that you don't stop helping people are in need." said Nate leaving.

"Fine lets go." said Eddie

"Wait a minute aren't you suppose to be away at a priviate school?" asked Charles.

"Umm yeah!" said Jeron

"Why aren't you in school?" asked Charles.

"Because it's spring break." lied Jeron.

"Yeah right!  That was a few weeks ago." said Charles.

"I know I know I just needed some time off." said Jeron.

"Do your mom know you still in the Heights?" asked Charles.

"I'm going to suprise her." said Jeron.

"Look I don't even want to know what's going on with you.  I have my own problems to take of.  Whatever you are doing I suggest you think twice." said Charles.

"I think you should take your own advice too." said Jeron.

"Just mind your business." said  Charles as her left.

"Whew that's a close call." said Kendra.

(Thanks for updating Americana)


As Charles continued to walk he was thinking.

"You know they are right.  I don't want to lose Cassie and I don't want to keep any secrets from her.  I got to go & tell her the truth." said Charle to himself.

Meanwhile back at the Sutton Household Lizzie was chillin' in the livingroom listening the CD Robin and Orianthi had made.
Lizzie was playing and jamming to the song the Robin twist.  She was enjoying the song then suddenly the doorbell rang. But Lizzie was too busy jammin to the music.  The doorbell continued to ring and ring until Cassie finally downstairs and answered the door.

"Don't mind me Lizzie I'll get the door." said Cassie sarcasticly.

"Hey I've spent months babysitting those twins for you while you were playing with Chuck in Hawaii.  I deserve a break." said Lizzie.

"You could just easily just answer the door Lizzie." said Cassie.

"And your point is?!?!" said Lizzie being smart.

"You know I am not even going to start with you today....God you could such a little brat sometime." said Cassie.

"Look who's talking." muttered Lizzie.

As Cassie opened the door it was Charles.

"Hey beautiful!' greeted Charles.

"Charles you came.  I was beginning to worry." said Cassie.

"Come on Cassie I can never go a day not being with you." said Charles.

The two of them kissed.

"Oh my God!  Come on you guys must you do that in front of me?" annoyed Lizzie.

"I miss my Cassie, Lizzie." said Charles.

"You were together last night." said Lizzie.

"Lizzie we are in love." said Cassie.

"Someone please shoot me if I act like that around Andrew.  I'll leave you two alone." said Lizzie leaving.

"Now that Lizzie is gone let's get done to business." said Charles.

"Not so fast loverboy.  We had our little business back in Hawaii.  Now it's time for us to spend time with our kids." said Cassie.

"You're right beautiful. The twins is our first priority." said Charles.

"Now that's more like it.  Did you go visit your mother?" asked Cassie.

Charles paused!

"Charles did you hear me?  Did you go see your mother?" asked Cassie.

"Well not exactly...Cassie sit down there's something that I need to tell you." said Charles.

"Charles what is it?  Is your mother alright?" asked Cassie.

"Yeah of course.  She is fine." said Charles.

"Then what is it?" worried Cassie.

"Well the reason I'm telling you this is because if we're going to get married I want to be honest with and I don't want to keep any secrets." said Charles

"Out with it Charles." annoyed Cassie.

"Well the reason that I wasn't over at my mother's last night is because I spent the night over at Sage's apartment." said Charles.

"YOU WHAT!?!?!" shocked Cassie.

"Cassie this isn't what you think." said Charles.

"It better not!!!! Charles I'm not going through that issue with you and Sage again." said Cassie.

"Cassie please let me explain." said Charles.

"You better explain Charles. What the hell were you doing over at Sage's?" angered Cassie.

"You see as I went into my apartment Bill was there." said Charles.

"Bill!?!  What were he doing here?" asked Cassie.

"I don't know.  But Bill thought I have done something to Giselle and he beat the living hell out of me." Charles explained as he showed Cassie the bruises.

"Oh my God!!!!  Bill did that to you?  Why would he do this?" asked Cassie.

"I told you he thinks I have done something to Gisselle which I haven't." said Charles.

"But Bill seem so nice this doesn't sound like him at all." said Cassie.

"Cassie trust me.  Bill did this.  He had it in for me ever since my involvement with his niece and Gisselle just won't leave me alone." said Charles.

"Have you told your mother about him?" asked Cassie.

"I can't she is crazy about him and plus she wouldn't believe me if I've told her." said Charles.

"But I still don't understand what all of this has to do with you ending up at Sage's apartment." confused Cassie.

"I was out cold when Bill beat the crap out of me.  Sage saw me lying there and she dragged me into her apartment.  As I woke up I was in my underwear  laying in bed next to her." said Charles.

"WHAT!?!?!  You two were in bed together in your underwear....I'LL KILL HER!!!!" snapped Cassie.

"Cassie calm down!  Nothing happened...I swear." said Charles.

"Why were you half dressed?" shocked Cassie.

"I don't know but nothing went on over there and Sage didn't try anything." said Charles.

"You're sure?" asked Cassie.

"I'm positive.  Cassie I promise there is nothing going on between me and Sage nor Gisselle." said Charles.

"Alright I believe Charles." said Cassie.

"You do?' asked Charles.

"Of course our relationship is built on trust and honesty and I'm glad you came forward told this." said Cassie.

"As I say before Cassie I don't want to keep any secrets in our relationship. I would never hurt you Cassie."said Charles.

"I know Charles...otherwise I would have to kill you.  But I'm glad you told me." said Cassie.

"Thanks for listening." said Charles.

"Charles I love you and I will never leave you.  But I am going to have serious talk with Sage before she gets any ideas." said Cassie.

"Sage is a least of our problems right now.  Now I have to explain to my mom what has happened.  Sage disguise her voice as you and spoke to my mom on the phone." said Charles.

"What..wait a minute your mother called earlier morning....no wonder she was acting weird. I'm going over there and give Sage a huge piece of mind right now!!!!" said Cassie.

Suddenly the doorbell rang.
