Lost (Stereo Kicks fanfic)

Chapter 3

I sat down awkwardly at the kitchen table as Jake went over to the bench to get me a slice of pizza. The other boys all sat around me watching intently as Jake placed the plate in front of me.
"Thankyou" I whispered still too shy to speak properly. The boys were all concerned as to what had happened to me so I asked Charlie to tell them, as it took such effort to explain to Charlie, I felt it would've been worse if I had to explain to another 7 boys.

"Oh god, am so sorry Amelia, that must feel awful" Casey stated as soon as Charlie finished the story. It didn't take long for all of them to realise I had tears in my eyes, all eight of them moved closer and told me some funny stories to cheer me up. My favourite was when James told me the story about the time they told Chris they had to be up at 7:00 instead of 10:00 while they lived in the X factor house. They carried on telling me stories about all the fun they had on X factor. Of course they thought I had no idea who they were but I supported them the whole way through the show.
After a while I started to feel very sleepy and a bit dazed.
"Wow, you look exhausted Amelia, you know you should probably get some sleep" Tom told me acting rather fatherly.
"So where's she gonna sleep?" Barclay asked, looking quite worried.
"In my room!" Charlie announced to the band, however Reece immediately responded with,
"But she could stay in my room mate". I felt so awkward. They were acting completely oblivious to the fact that I was sitting right next to them.
"Here I'll settle this, Amelia, who would you like to stay with?" Jake asked sounding rather impatient. I just looked directly at Charlie, I knew him best and he's looked after me so well since he found me, I feel most safe with him.
"Well that settles it, Char take her up to your room them, she deserves a good rest" James ordered. And with that, Charlie picked up my bag, took my hand and led me upstairs.
"Here princess, this is my room" he said opening the door and gesturing for me to enter the room first. I flashed him a brief smile and tiptoed through the door. I have to admit, his room is a bit of a mess but what could I expect, he is a teenage boy after all.
"Thankyou Charlie by the way. I never really got a chance to say that before but I'm so happy you've come and looked after me, I mean I had no where to go and you took me in"
"Wow babe, you're making it sound like there was no room at the inn so I gave you my stable 😏" he smirked. I just giggled in response.
"Okay, you take my bed and I'll take the sofa" he ordered after a few moments silence.
I walked into the bathroom with my pyjamas and got changed then went and got comfortable in his bed. I have to admit, I felt terrible for taking his bed off him, but I knew there was no point in arguing about it, he wouldn't have changed his mind anyway.
Before I knew it, I was fast asleep.

Charlie's POV
Before I even got sat on the sofa, she was fast asleep. She looked so peaceful and happy asleep, it was nice seeing her like that, rather than sad and upset like she had been ever since I met her. I went and sat on the sofa and scrolled through Twitter for a while. I was about to doze off when I heard Amelia cry,
"No don't, get away from me, I'll never forgive you for what you've done" I rushed over to her bedside and gently held her hand. After a moment or two her eyes flickered open and tears stained her cheeks. "Shh, don't worry, it was only a dream" I told her, trying to be reassuring. "I'll cuddle you for a while to relax you a bit if you like?" I asked and she just moved along, making more space for me to get in. She lay in my arms and I literally felt all her muscles relax and lose tension. I've known her what, 2 hours, maybe not even that long, but I have genuine feelings for her. I held on to her tightly as she fell asleep in my arms with her eyelids still flickering that she was dreaming although this time, she was smiling, so I pray to God, that she was thinking happy thoughts.
