PART 1 - Aftermath
===================
"It was awful Stace, oh my god..." Miley said into her cell phone as she lay in her bedroom talking to her best friend.
"What exactly did your mom see?" came Stacy's question.
"She saw me on my knees, holding Charlie's big 'thing'."
"Oh my god... she didn't!" Stacy said.
"It gets worse. I had his 'stuff' all over my face and we were both half naked."
Stacy tried not to giggle but had little success.
"It's not funny!" Miley said, "My mother /freaked/. Brad practically chased poor Charlie out of the house."
"Didn't you know they were home?" Stacy wondered.
"No." Miley replied. "They were supposed to be going to a concert in the city after lunch, but Brad forgot the tickets so they came back home to get them."
"Unbelievable." Stacy said. "Have you talked to Charlie yet?"
"No. But I guess my mom called his mom. God, it's so embarrassing."
"What's going to happen?"
Miley sighed, "Mom and Brad are downstairs discussing 'my future' right now. I have no idea."
"Let me know if you need anything?" Stacy offered.
"I will, thanks Stace. I'll call you tomorrow."
=====
John White knocked on his son's bedroom door, "Charlie, can I come in?"
"Sure dad." Charlie called.
John found Charlie laying on his bed staring at the ceiling. "Your mother just got off the phone with Mrs. Ryan."
Charlie nodded but said nothing. Mrs. Ryan was Miley's mother. She and Miley had different last names because when Miley's mom remarried Miley kept her real father's last name. Charlie had hoped his parents wouldn't find out about Miley's parents catching them having sex, but he overheard his mom talking to Miley's mom and had been waiting for one of his parents to come knocking.
"Son..." John sighed. "I didn't come up here to lecture you."
Charlie glanced over at his dad, surprised.
"You're eighteen years old. You're a man now. But... well, you need to be more responsible. I understand that you and Miley are in a sexual relationship, and as far as I'm concerned that's perfectly acceptable, but doing so under her parent's roof is disrespectful to them. The same way it would be to your mother and I if the situation were reversed."
"I know dad, I'm sorry." Charlie said, truly apologetic.
John nodded, "Mrs. Ryan was pretty upset. Understandably so. She doesn't want you to see Miley anymore."
"But dad...!" Charlie sat up.
Lifting his hands, John tried to calm Charlie, "I know, I know. Your mother and I really like Miley, and we're not going to tell you who you can or can't spend time with, but you need to avoid going over to Miley's house, okay?"
"Okay..." Charlie said, flopping back down on his bed.
=====
"You're grounded." Miley's mother said. "And you're not to see that Charlie boy ever again."
"What? You can't do that!" Miley exclaimed. "I'm eighteen years old, you can't ground me, and you can't keep me from seeing Charlie. I love him!"
"I can too ground you, young lady, as long as you're living under this roof you live by my rules."
"Fine!" Miley nearly spat. She stalked to her closet.
"Miley, what are you doing...?"
"I'm getting out of this house!" Miley yelled, grabbing a bag.
"Miley..." her mother warned, "If you leave this house your father and I will cut you off..."
"STEP-father." Miley scowled, stuffing clothes into her bag. "And I don't care. I'll go live with dad if I have to. You and Brad can both go to hell!"
"Millicent Andrews! You are /the/ most stubborn girl..."
"Stuff it mom!" Miley snapped, grabbing another bag along with more clothes. "Charlie and I love each other, and if my choice is between you and Brad, or him, I'm choosing him." She grabbed the garment bag containing the prom dress Charlie bought her.
"Miley..." her mother urged, "You're just upset... Miley!"
Hoisting the bags, Miley stalked for her bedroom door.
=====
"What are we going to do John?" Olivia asked.
"Nothing. Charlie's eighteen years old now. He needs to learn from his own mistakes. He feels bad enough, he doesn't need us piling on.."
"But John... can you imagine if we had seen what Mrs. Ryan saw earlier today?"
John smirked.
"It's not funny!" Olivia swatted her husband. "How is Charlie, by the way?"
"He's depressed. I think he's worried about Miley. He's a good kid honey, him and Miley both. They just need to learn to be a bit more responsible about their sex life."
Olivia let out a worried laugh, "Our son has a sex life." She took a deep breath.
"He's eighteen years old." John reminded his wife, "He's not a child anymore. Remember when we were his age?"
"I know." Olivia said, "I just..." she was interrupted by the doorbell. "I'll get it. Let's hope its not another angry parent...."
John chuckled.
Olivia opened the door, surprised to see "Miley...?"
"Hi Mrs. White." Miley said, tears decorating her cheeks . "Um... I didn't know where else to go... again."
"Oh honey... it's okay Miley, come in... come in."
"Miley?" Charlie said, entering the living room after hearing the doorbell.
