CHARLOTTES POV
"Wake up Charlie." I heard a soft voice in my ear.
"Charlie" I heard again. "No Xavier." I mumbled into my pillow. "Come on Charles you have school today, you wouldn't want to be late would you." He was now sat on my bed. "I'll go tomorrow, shoo child let me sleep." I reached out with my eyes still closed, once I found his face... I softly slapped him and pushed him away.
"I'm giving you ten seconds, or you are going in the pool." He whispered into my ear then began counting down.
"10"
"9"
"8"
"7"
"6"
"5"
"4"
"3"
"2"
"Okay okay I'm up" I shouted sitting up in my bed.
"You can leave now. I smiled sarcastically but Xavier ignored me and threw me over his shoulder. "Xavier please don't." I screamed as he began to walk out of the room with me. "Xavier stop!" I shouted again but he didn't seem to care.
"LORENZO HELP!" I screamed at the top of my lungs, yet it was no use, he mustn't have heard me.
"ENZO!" I screamed again, hoping my brother would come to my rescue but avail... he didn't.
Xavier chuckled as he opened the back door onto the patio. I had to think quick if I didn't want to get wet.
"I can't swim!" I lied but he shook his head, "I don't believe you." and with that I was now in the pool. So I decided to get my own back.
Pretending to drown.
I splashed and splashed, as I reached the top of the pool I cried, my mouth full of chlorine "Xavier help."
He stood at me with his arms crossed, looking unamused.
"Ok come on before my pancakes get cold." he sighed.
So I did the thing any petty, cold teenage girl would do. I stopped moving.
I lay face down in the water. It was about three seconds before I was pulled out the water and lay on my back. Xavier looked terrified as he was checking my breathing and screaming for Enzo.
I opened my eyes for a spilt second when I heard the door open. Enzo came out, he was wearing an apron and drying a bowl with a tea-towel. He really looked like a mom. When he dropped the bowl I flinched and rolled on my side. Coughing.
"My baby, what happened to you." Enzo rushed over to my side.
"Shit Charlie. I thought you were joking about not being able to swim I'm so sorry." Xavier patted my back as I coughed a little more. Yet soon enough my coughing turned into laughter.
"Y-y-you should h-have seen your face." I laughed hysterically as Xavier slumped down and Enzo looked shocked.
"Well I got my revenge for you making me all cold and wet." I scowled at Xavier "And my revenge for you ignoring me when I screamed for help." I looked at Enzo. Laughing as I stood up, i picked a towel off on of the sun beds and wrapped it around my self.
"If you ever try and wake me up like that again. We are going to have issues." I gave Xavier a cold glare before smiling and walking into the house.
Once I ran into my bedroom, I took a quick shower to walk me up and get the smell of chlorine off of me, I then brushed my teeth and blow dried my hair.
