Charlie's POV

    I woke up to the sound of Allie crying. "Allie, what's wrong babe?" I asked. No answer. I got up and looked at her. She was still asleep so I woke her up. Her eyes opened and she saw me. She looked at me with fear all over her face. I went to put Mr arm around her but she cowered away. "Allie, what is it?" I asked, concerned about what she dreamt of. She didn't say anything and just stared at me.

   Leo and Annie were awake now. "What's going on?" Leo asked, clenching his fist.

"I woke up and Allie was crying and she won't say anything" I cried.

Annie went to Allie and held her in her arms. "What happened Allie?" She asked.

Allie took a deep breath and said, "nothing. It was just a bad dream."

I looked at her and she looked away. "Okay Charlie, I think you should come sleep in my bed and let Annie and Allie be together" Leo said.

I nodded and gave Allie another look before going to the other bed. What could she have been dreaming of?

Allies POV

    I got up once I was sure everyone was asleep and went to the restroom. I opened a drawer and took out a blade. Images of my dream flashed through my head as I put the cold blade to my skin. Charlie and McKenna in bed together. Me seeing Charlie with her. McKenna getting up and beating me until I couldn't move. Charlie laughing...

    Once I was done I got into she shower and watched the blood run down the drain. I got out and put my clothes back on before getting into bed and falling asleep.

   Annie woke me up and asked, "do you want to come to Starbucks or not?"

"Um, of course I do. Let me get ready" I replied. I got up and opened my suitcase. I remembered my cuts and took out a burgundy jumper, denim shorts, and black Doc Martens. My hair was a mess so I put it in a messy bun and applied makeup.

    We got our drinks and sat down at a table. "Why are you wearing a long sleeve Allie? It's not even cold outside" Leo said.

"Oh, I didn't think it was going to be warm out today" I stuttered. He gave me a look but stopped talking about it. That was close...

    All of us were at a park near by playing football with some kids out age. We sat down to take a break when Charlie asked, "Can I talk to you alone for a minute Allie?" I nodded and got up with him. "So, what's up?" I asked, trying to sound casual.

"What did you dream about?" Charlie asked.

"I just had a bad dream. I don't want to talk about it."

"Please Allie. When you looked at me this morning, you looked terrified. What is it?"

"Fine! If you really just have to know! McKenna beat me until I couldn't move and you just laughed" I yelled at him. I was walking away but he grabbed my wrist and yanked me back. "Ow Charlie!" I screamed.

"Show me your wrists Allie."

"No."

"I'll show you mine if you show me yours."

Charlie had scars? I pulled up my sleeve and Charlie took my arm. He traced each scar with his finger and than let me go. He pushed all of the bracelets he had on above his elbow and held out his arm. There were as many as mine. New and old. I put my hand over my mouth and looked at him. He put his hands on my waist and bent down. My arms went around his neck and our lips touched. I felt the static between us like lightning. We pulled away and I let out a breath. "I love you Allie. Please don't leave us" Charlie whispered to me.

"I love you too Charlie."
