Forever

          I finally feel a hint of free. Nowhere is anyone criticizing my every move, never with you was that a worry. Away from all panic that lingers around in my broken-down mind. Laying with you right now staring at the dark blue sky watching every single gold star flicker, suddenly made everything better. You always know how to make everything better. With you, the feeling of drowning goes away. I don't feel the water slowly fill up my damaged lungs, that feeling is gone when I'm with you. You could stay with me forever but sadly, you didn't know our time together was almost over.

"Where have you been, I've been waiting for you," her mom said in anger.

"I didn't think you would," Charlotte replied with no worry.

It's okay, you're okay.

"I told you to be home at noon, it's 1:30."

"Sorry, I lost track of time."

I wasn't sorry, not a single bit.

"No you're not," she said while stomping upstairs.

Of course, I'm not sorry, I was with the one person who actually knows what I need. Who I am.

"Who were you with anyways?" she says glaring back at me while stopping in the middle of the stairs.

"Why does it even matter?"

 Oh god, you're a secret, I don't think you know that yet, I don't need you to know that. I especially don't need her to know. To know about you.

"I'm your mother and If I want to know I will know."

"Mom, It doesn't matter just let me go to my room"

Please, please, please just let me go.

"Fine, but don't think that this conversation is over."

I throw myself on my gray soft bed. Wishing you were here lying with me.

          I have school today, I know that it is our 6 month anniversary. I will try my hardest to see you. I hate not seeing you every day. I get irritable when It's been too long. That's why I made sure you would stay with me forever, I made sure you would never leave me.

         I see your face every step I take. On my way to school, the grocery store, and just walking around town. It makes me miss you quite a bit, so I have to go see you. I have your picture in my wallet but it seems that I don't need it after all. I wonder why you're so popular, why you're on the news. I'm not complaining about waking up to your face in the morning while I'm eating my cereal. It just makes me sad that you're not here eating it with me.

          People are always talking about you. I get jealous, I'm the only one who should be talking about you, even thinking about you. Why are people so obsessed with you?

I ditched school, I'm on my way to see you don't worry.

"Hey, I'm finally here, sorry it took me so long."

"....."

"I saw you on the news this morning. Don't worry it was a good picture."

"......"

"I ditched school today just for you, it wasn't that hard since no one pays attention and you're not that far away anyway. I just walked out during lunch. I hate being there, I'd rather stay here with you."

"......"

"Your hair is messed up, let me fix it for you....better."

"......"

"It's our 6 month anniversary today, maybe we could do something new, go somewhere new."

"......"

"Oh, I know! Let's go get Chinese food and eat it back here. We could get a blanket to sit on and I can play music with my truck, but we will have to be careful."

         I hate that you're so quiet. Why don't you ever talk to me? I do everything for you. As I'm helping you into my white truck I'm getting sad. Why are you being this way to me? It's such a special day.

"Nevermind, I don't wanna go anymore."

Ring ring, ring ring.

"It's just my mom. I wonder if the school called her."

"Hello?"

"Charlotte, where are you? The school called me and said that you were absent for 3rd hour?"

"I needed a break..."

"Are you with who you've been sneaking around with?"

"Yes mom I am with him, are you happy now?"

"Put him on the phone."

"Okay."

"Listen here, I don't know who you are but you need to stay away from my daughter, you're causing too much conflict in our family."

"......"

"Hello?"

"Mom, did you talk to him?"

"Who is it?"

"Calm down It's just Hunter, I didn't want you to find out this way but you kinda forced me to tell you like this."

Beep, Beep, Beep.

"Mom? Are you there? Mom.."

Weeoo, Weeoo.

"What?! No, no, no, no. They're going to take you away from me! This is why I wasn't going to tell anybody."

        The blue and red lights blinded me. Everything is happening so fast but so slow at the same time. No, no, they're taking you away from me. I knew this was going to happen. I made you the way you are so you would stay with me forever not leave me. Why are they taking me too? Why would they need me? My mother is crying, why is she crying?

Weeks later.

         The judge said that I killed you. That can't be true. Yeah, I made you so you would stay but, that doesn't mean you died. They said that I'm going to be staying in a facility. Not too sure what that means but it doesn't sound good. I knew that our time together was almost over, but I made sure to keep a piece of you with me forever.
