The Destruction of the Witch

"I'm not going to school." I said simply.

"Yes you are. Go get ready, I have to be at work soon." My mom said.

"I'm not going. Please, just one day off, maybe two?" I asked not moving.

My mom put her head in her hands, "two days at the most."

"You are a life saver." I said, and went upstairs.

It was Monday, and I refused to go to school. I didn't want to see anyone I knew. Especially Charlie. I can't stop thinking about it. I've cried, gotten angry. You name it. He's called about a dozen times, leaving several choked up messages. I hated doing this, but he left me no choice. He wouldn't listen; I had to put my foot down. I just didn't know it would break my heart.

*ding dong*

I groaned.

I trudged out of my room, and down the stairs. I opened the door to find an overdressed brunette.

"What the hell do you want?" I grumbled.

"We need to talk." She said pushing past me, and letting herself inside.

"You can come in I guess." I said.

"I hate saying this, but you need to talk to Charlie. He's all mopey, and boring. He keeps complaining about you. All he does is talk about you. It's annoying, since I don't particularly like you." Lucy said.

"Ditto." I mumbled.

"Call him or something. We have a date, and if you ruin it. I will make your life a living hell. Got it?" she threatened and left.

"Thank God!" I yelled when she left.

I got into our spare car, and decided to go to me and Charlie's place.

Once I got there, I grabbed my phone and headphones, and got out of the car.

I walked up the hill, and once I got to the top, I sat down. Plugging my headphones into my phone.

I looked out across the city.

Every part of it was beautiful.

I began go cry. I felt this sudden need to. It was like every thing from these last few days had finally hit me. I had cried before. Not like this.

I was lost in my own thoughts, when a familiar voice pulled me out of my thoughts.

"Spencer?" it said. Charlie.

I didn't turn around.

He sat down next to me.

We sat in silence.

"Can we talk?" he asked.

I didn't say anything.

"You don't have to say anything. I will. I'm sorry. About Friday. About Lucy. About everything." Charlie said, tearing up.

I still didn't say anything.

Charlie started to cry. The only thing you could hear was his sobs. It killed me.

I was still angry.

I was still frustrated.

I was still upset.

"I think you should go." I said quietly.

He did.
