Characters: Charlie and Jenny (I HAD TO POST WITH EMMA BECAUSE CHUCKIE ISN'T PART OF THE AU GROUP)
Setting: Their senior and first years of University
Rating: SFW? It's AU
Summary: Charlie runs into a ghost from her past



It had been month since Charlie had so much as said hello to Jenny. Their relationship hadn't ended well to say the least, but the rumors she had heard afterwards had been worse. The straw that had broken the camels back wasn't anything special, wasn't anything abnormal in their lives, but Charlie had been drunk, too drunk. Everything had just come out like word vomit, the tears, the accusations, the insecurities, it was awful. She couldn't do it anymore, she couldn't share Jenny with anyone. The months that followed had been lonely for Charlie. Hunter and Sera were long gone, although she still visited them quite a bit, it wasn't quite the same. She had lead the team to yet another Quod championship though, and had brought victory to her house once again. It didn't mean as much to her.

Now it was half way through her senior year of high school and graduation seemed miles away. She was already being scouted by several different Quodpot leagues and Charlie couldn't wait to get out of here. All she had left now was Quodpot, and really, why bother finishing school if she was just going to play sports the rest of her life. She spent most of her days now skipping class, training and smoking more weed than was healthy for a athlete of her status. It was a miracle they were even letting her captain the team anymore. Ichiro had talked to her several times about her failing academic record, but they had come to some sort of agreement. At least she was going to graduate, she wasn't sure what the requirements were for the Quodpot leagues, but she figured not having a high school diploma would kill her eventually.

She was just finishing up her morning training now, sweat dripping off of her as she made her way back to her dorm. She had her broomstick tossed over one shoulder and her training bag over the other. Her headphones were blaring in her ears. She was in the zone, running through the drills she wanted to run later with the team in her head, when she hit something solid. At first she thought it was a wall, it wouldn't have been the first time she had run into one recently. It took her a few minutes to realize it was actually a person, and she shouldered her bag back into place with a wince before looking down a the poor person in concern.

"I'm sorry! I didn't see-" It was only then that Charlie realized who exactly she had knocked over. Looking back at her was none other than Jenny herself. Charlie gaped at her speechless, she wasn't prepared for this, she had been so careful to avoid the other girl. She had even resorted to ducking into empty classrooms when she saw her around campus. Now she was right in front of her. "Jenny, I-" she stuttered, dropping her bag out of surprise.

It would have been a definite understatement to say that Jenny was lost without Charlie, but she hadn't been surprised really by the way things turned out. It was probably best that she was alone anyway. Some part of her had always known that it wouldn't last forever, no one had ever stuck around as long as Chuck had, and everybody had an eventual breaking point. It just pained her to know she had been the one to push Charlie to that point. Harsh words had been said, tears cried, but it couldn't change anything now and Jenny didn't even really hold a grudge against her ex-girlfriend for breaking up with her. She had always told Charlie that she was a bad girlfriend, and now this was proof. Jenny hadn't even seen or heard from Charlie in over a month now, and she knew that among other things, it probably had the most to do with how they parted ways and her rapidly growing belly. Which, of course, had been half the reason for their break-up. It wasn't a problem she could easily fix, and she couldn't blame Charlie for bailing. On top of everything else she put the younger girl through, Jen knew as soon as she found out that she was pregnant that it would be the final straw. What young star athlete wanted a washed up pregnant ex-cheerleader from a trailer park for a girlfriend?

Sure, some part of her brain had been hoping that Charlie would take it well, that they'd just deal with her problems like a team as they always did. Charlie always took care of her, even when her own family didn't, and some part of Jenny had desperately hoped this could be the same. They could have the baby together, and they'd just work it out, like always. It wasn't that simple though, and Jenny realized now that blurting it out during a fight at a party when Charlie was drunk probably wasn't the best way to tell her girlfriend she was pregnant. Not to mention the fact that she was pretty sure it was Apple's, out of all her friends that could have been the father. The one Charlie could stand the least. She hadn't meant for any of it to happen like that.

For all of her indiscretions and years of unplanned hook-ups, Jenny had always been careful. She had only had a handful of pregnancy scares, and she took her birth control pills like clockwork every day. But nothing was a hundred percent, especially when one got as wasted as Jenny did every weekend, and things never worked out as planned. She had always wanted a baby, being a better mother than her own mom had been her dream for years. She had been jealous of Charlie's friends and their baby since Tatum had been pregnant, but this wasn't how Jenny had wanted it to happen. Babies were expensive and exhausting. Charlie was supposed to marry her one day, and make her stop destroying herself, and they could settle down and have a real family. She wasn't supposed to be alone. So much for that though, thanks to her. It was hard not to blame herself everytime she looked in the mirror, and she hated looking at how huge she was getting anyway. Her protruding belly looked ridiculous on her tiny frame, like her back could barely support her. And her back did give protest, it was killing her every day now. Cheerleading was out of the question, had been for months, even though she had been so excited to join the university team. She had gone to university just to cheer, practically. For cheer and for Charlie.
