Family Is Forever

The next day Charlotte slowly peeled herself off her bed confused as to where she was as there was a loud pounding on her door, "Charlotte are you awake? Come on we have to get ready!"

Charlotte looked around her head killing her and her mouth feeling dry as she tried to remember last night. She was in her room still and the last thing she remembered was feeling stressed as she was studying before she dumped out her backpack and found that baggie. Charlotte shot up from the bed, a little too fast as she dug into the pockets and pulled out the baggie which now had 1 and a half pills in it. Charlotte looked around slightly ashamed as she remembered sitting on her bed contemplating the decision to take it or not. She had said she wouldn't but thoughts of Roman and how free she felt when they had taken the pills together led her to taking the drugs last night.

"Charlotte wake up!" the door knob began to turn and Charlotte quickly pocketed the drugs before Sasha came bursting into the room yelling for her to come on, "Dude what are you doing..come on we have to get ready"

"Sasha please stop yelling" Becky grumbled as she walked past, heading to the bathroom still dressed in her pajamas

Charlotte went to say something but her mouth was so a dry, a side effect she remembered from the drugs so the oldest just ignored her younger sister and began picking out her clothes from her closet.

"Whatever" Sasha mumbled before storming out of the room leaving Charlotte alone with her thoughts.

She remembered her mother coming in last night, had she found out about Charlotte using? No. No she couldn't have, there's no way Charlotte would even be standing here today if she had. So that means....she got away with it right? She had taken the pills and nobody knew? Charlotte smiled a spark of rebellion that she had felt when she, Roman, Sasha and Seth had run from the cops, came back, tingling at the back of Charlotte's gut.

Charlotte slowly got ready, pulling on a rare black T-shirt and a random pair of jeans before going to the bathroom, brushing her teeth beside Becky in the mirror who seemed too distracted with her own thoughts to notice Charlotte's mischievous smile. Once Charlotte was done she headed downstairs and quickly grabbed a bottle of water to help with her dry mouth. Hunter was already downstairs making coffee with his back to her when she finished the bottle of water and immediately went to grab another one.

Soon Sasha and Becky were downstairs, Sasha was wear a blue jean jacket over a black crop top and a pair of black jeans while Becky was in blue, clippers jersey with a snapback on her head and a pair of black leggings.

"Why are you wearing that jersey?" Sasha asked Becky as they entered

"What's wrong with it?"

"You don't watch sports...you don't even know who the clippers are"

"So..Dean got it for me and I told him i would wear it sometimes" Becky said looking down at the jersey before she took a seat at the island

"Good morning girls did you all sleep well?" Stephanie asked as she entered the kitchen taking the cup of coffee that Hunter had made for himself

"It's hard to sleep with Sasha snoring like a horse" Becky grumbled causing Sasha to push her off her chair, causing her to fall on her butt "Ow"

"I don't snore"

"Yes you do" the whole family said causing Sasha to roll her eyes and exit the kitchen while Becky slowly got back onto the bar stool and placed her head down

"Can I suggest something" she said

"Go ahead" Hunter responded as she picked her head up to look at them
