CHOOSE ME!

Part 8

Alex's pov
My hands started to sweat and I rubbed them together nervously as I stared into his eyes. He looked angry, did I do something to upset him last night? His scary gaze pierced through me and made me tremble in fear a little. He pushed passed me harshly and I drearily waded into the bathroom, my head pounded and the thought of any food made me nauseous. I took off my clothes and turned on the water. I went in the shower and the burning water hit my skin, I turned down the heat and looked in the mirror on the wall opposite me.

A small shocked scream slipped from my mouth as I noticed a three big purple marks on my skin. What did I do? I stumbled out of the shower and dropped to the floor and my breath started to become heavy and I began sobbing. I heard a knock on the door, "what's going on in there?" Charlie asked sounding worried from the other side of the door. I then remembered a little from last night, he pushed me on the bed and we kissed, almost naked. I began to sob more and harder when I heard his voice, the small pigment of a memory played again and again in my head, my arms rubbing the marks on my body hoping they would just rub off and disappear.

I hadn't realised he was stood there until he sat down next to me and pulled my head into his shoulder, my eyes opened wide as I was level with one of the many hickeys on his skin. I pulled back and observed the dark purple marks on his toned body. I finally worked up the courage to ask, "did I do that?" He hung his head, as if he was embarrassed of what we did, I didn't remember a lot but it was harmless, unless he was more drunk than I originally thought.

I waited a while for his answer but he never said anything. I then also hung my head sadly, only just realising that he had pulled my stark naked body into his crossed legs, his head lowered to my shoulder and I felt a small tear roll onto it. I lifted up his head by his cheeks to meet my eyes and asked him again, "did I do this to you?" It took a couple of minutes for him to reply, he just stared hopelessly into my dull brown eyes but then he nodded. A sigh of both relief and sadness came from my lips, he remembered, but why did he look so ashamed?

Our eyes didn't leave the others once but suddenly he pushed me off his lap and left the bathroom in a hurry. Well now he's going to hate me all over again.

Charlie's pov
I was once again lost in those deep dark irises of the small boy, I pulled him into my knee but I don't think he noticed. 'How could I have been so stupid?' I thought as I hung my head, he doesn't like me the way I thought he did, he probably doesn't like me at all. He then, without saying a word held my cheeks gently and lifted my head to be greeted by his gorgeous eyes.

I couldn't move, I was always blown away by his beauty, even if he was super skinny, but this time I got to enjoy all his features. His cute petite button nose, his small lips, his large round brown eyes that glowed amber in the sun and his fluffy messy brown hair that reminded me of a teddy bear I had.

I then realised what I was doing and pushed him off, how could I have been so stupid to fall for someone who clearly doesn't like me and for a.....a BOY! I quickly pushed him off and ran into my room. Pacing around I tried to control my breath and not let my tears slip from my eyes like they had done on Alex's shoulder before. Suddenly, the door swung open, before I could react I was met with Alex's big doe eyes and his face was blushed red. "Yes," he said, that's all he said, I tilted my head in confusion but he just walked up to me, staring at me with a look in his eyes I couldn't read nor had I seen before.

He pushed me onto my black unmade bed sheets, he was surprisingly strong. A small gasp escaped my lips when he climbed onto my lap and put his arms around my neck, instinctively I snaked my arms around his waist and pulled him closer to my chest. Our eyes didn't leave eachother once.
