Charlie stared at the plate of food that Jordan had left for her. She still hadn't touched it. That was one problem she had, when she was upset, her stomach constantly felt sick. She sat up, and took a bite of the food trying to keep it down, and took a sip of her water. She hoped that when she woke up, all of this would just have been a dream..but it wasn't. Charlie grabbed the plate, opened the bedroom door and walked into the kitchen. She wasn't ready to talk to her friends yet, but she figured she should at least get up so they weren't too worried. If how she felt was any indication of how she looked, she must have looked awful.

Jordan was about to go and take out the trash when he saw through the peep hole thing in the door Alex holding hands with Sophia out in the hallway. "He's actually lost it." Jordan told Chris. He turned to look at Chris, "Come have a look. He's trying to like replace Ellie with Sophia.". Chris rushed up to the door and watched on. A few moments later, the pair heard a door open and Charlie walked out holding an almost full plate of food in hand. She put it down on the counter and Jordan sighed. "You feeling any better?" He asked. Whilst Jordan was talking to Charlie, Chris went out into the hallway to ask Alex what the hell was going on.

Chris approached Alex and Sophia in the hallway. He spoke directly to Alex. "What the hell do you think you're doing? Ellie died like 8 hours ago and you're already macking on with Sophia!". He now looked at Sophia. "You are not Ellie. Just because you look like her doesn't mean you can come in and play with peoples emotions. We do not want to be your friend and Alex does not want to be your girlfriend. Stop trying to replace her. You are not her!" He almost yelled then stormed back into the apartment, pissed at how Alex could just jump to her because they looked similar. It was sick.

Charlie looked at Jordan and shrugged a little. "Not really.." she said and looked at the food. "Sorry, I tried to eat I just felt too sick." she explained. Then Chris ran out into the hallway, and she heard yelling. Chris stormed into the room, and she was left still confused. "What's going on?" she asked him.
(Alex)
Alex knew that this would be a difficult situation to get out of, or to even explain. He didn't say a word, because he didn't know if Ellie would tell them yet. "Ellie, you have to explain everything to him." he said. "He'll believe you, if you just explain."

Chris' words hurt but she knew that he didn't mean them. He was just hurt from thinking that Alex was getting it on with Sophia just after Ellie had died. She took Alex's hand. "I'm going to tell them all. I-I just don't think they'll believe me.. especially Chris.". She sighed. They walked inside and Ellie was glad that Charlie was now out of her room. She got them all to sit down in the living room and then she explained to them everything and waited for their reaction. Chris would never ever believe it. He was too stubborn. He'd just hate 'Sophia' more and she knew that.

Charlie listened to what 'Sophia' had to say, and didn't fully understand what was going on. "I- I want to believe you.." charlie paused. "But after everything, we need proof." she told her. Alex seemed to believe Sophia/Ellie, so that should be proof enough, but she just wasn't sure. Charlie looked to Jordan and Chris who were just as confused. But Chris, didn't believe her one bit.

She sighed, trying to think of ways to be able to prove it. "The first time we meet, you were going to post a letter to your brother. A letter that you never sent." Ellie said to Charlie. She then stood up and showed them the tattoo on her back that most of them didn't know about besides Alex. She sat back down. "That is the date of the death of my father. He was murdered in front of me and the last thing he said to my was my mothers name. My mother.. the one who left me when I was two." "I managed to meet my mom and I told her who I was and she ran away ...again.". All of these things were the things that you only tell your best friend about. Charlie still seemed reluctant but they were getting there. Ellie's gaze turned to Chris. "We met when we were five. You asked me for my apple juice and then you spilt it all over me. You have a small birth mark on your left hip the shape of a maple leaf. You've got a tattoo saying 'Daniel' above your heart because of your brother who drowned in the ocean.. since then you've been afraid of water.". His jaw dropped a little and Ellie prayed she was getting through. "If I wasn't Ellie, how would I know all these things?" She asked them.

Charlie's thoughts went crazy. There's no way Sophia would have known these things. No one would know these things unless they were best friends. "Ellie!!" Charlie got up and hugged her best friend. She couldn't believe she was actually alive. A smile appeared on Charlie's face but then slowly disappeared. "How come you pretended to be Sophia for a while? Why didn't you just fake your death right away?" she asked her. She had to.

She shrugged a little. "I guess I didn't want it to have to come to that.". Ellie looked at Chris, he still seemed sceptic and he had every reason to be. She let out a sigh.

Charlie nodded her head. It made sense. "So what happens now?" she asked completely serious. "Is this guy gone? So you can come back now...or?" Charlie looked at Chris. He looked even more confused than before. Alex & Charlie were the only ones who seemed to completely believe her.

"I don't know yet.. I-I think we should just play it safe for now." She said. Ellie looked back at Charlie. "You'll have to still act as if I'm Sophia and that Ellie is dead..". It was a lot to ask from them.

Charlie was a little shocked by this, but nodded her head. "That makes sense." she said, and looked at Chris & Jordan who were not entirely convinced. "I'm just happy that you're alright." she smiled, as did Alex. That's when he spoke up "Does abby know about this?"

She smiled a bit, glad that they were going to go along with it. When Charlie asked of Ellie, she nodded. "Yeah.. she knew what I had planned to do. I went and saw her. Her calling Jordan was part of the act.". Ellie frowned a bit. "You need to get out." Chris yelled jumping off the couch. "I don't know who you are and how you know these things but I know Ellie and she's gone so just get out.". He grabbed her by the arm and practically pushed her out the door.

Charlie listened to what Ellie was saying, and it all made sense. She didn't even want to think about that moment, though; Even thought it was fake. All the sudden Chris started yelling and he basically threw her out of Jordan's apartment. "Dude. What the hell?!" Alex yelled and went after Ellie to make sure she was okay. Charlie looked at him. "Chris- I know you don't want to believe it, but that is Ellie. How else would she know all of that stuff?" she said.

Chris' behaviour didn't surprise Ellie at all. They had been best friends since they were five and it was as if she could predict his every move. She looked at Charlie and shook her head, "Don't worry about it.". She then looked at Chris. "I understand you'll need time to understand this so until then.. I'll stay away, okay?". Ellie now spoke to the group, "In public, you have to be cold to me as you would by me looking like your dead friend. Sophia needs to be totally isolated. Even now, it's dangerous being here with me so I'm just gonna go." She said picking up her bag.
