ORPHANAGE GIRL

Chapter 46

I didn't know what to do? Whom to call? I was growing more worried sick as clock ticks.

It was 3:17 in the morning and I am pacing around my room. Should I call Brandon to ask if he got any lead?

No, he is already worried I shouldn't cause more. But I would go crazy if I don't do anything.

"Fuck that" I grab my phone to call Brandon but I got a call from unknown number.

"Hello?" I speak. Who might it be?

Silence...

"Hello" I said again. Suddenly I felt a weird feeling in my chest.

"Charles" I whisper

"Liv" his voice was so weak that I could barely hear.

"Oh my god, Charles. Where are you? Are you okay?" I was so worried, as tears started welling up into my eyes.

"I miss you Livvvvvv"

My heart skipped a beat. I was longing to hear his voice. I miss you too Charles.

"Are you okay? Why haven't you been home for 2 days" I changed the topic

"Umm, I do-don't knowwww" he slurped

"Are you drunk?" I asked now more worried

"Ahh little" he sounded tired, sleepy

"Where are you? Tell me?"

"Will you come here to get me?" Hope evident in his voice

Should I? What if he hurts me again?

Dammit he needs you. Just go for God sake.

"Livvvvv, are youuu there" I heard a crash on the other side of phone.

"Yeah I will come. Tell me where you are?" I agreed

"Remember th-the place I to-took you where we kissed for the first time" he voice was barely audible but I heard it. The cliff. Tears started to fall down from my eyes.

"Okay I'm coming" I said as I started wearing my shoes.

"Don't end the call" I couldn't say no.

Damn you heart.

I was half away from the place, his call was still on and I could hear his soft breathing.

"Liv?"

Everytime he says that, I get goosebumps all over my body

"Yes?"

"You still angryyy with m-me? He hesitantly asked

"I'm not angry" I said. I'm not angry I'm upset and hurt.

"You-"

"Charles we can talk about this when I get there" I can't drive if he keep asking me such questions

"hmm"

As I reached the place it was so dark the only light was from the car's headlight. I kept it on and stepped outside. Stone crunching beneath my shoes as I walk forward, suddenly I saw a dark figure as I moving closer I saw Charles sitting there with his head on his knees and phone tightly pressed on his ears like his life depends on it.

"Charles" I whisper making him turn around

"you c-came" he tried standing in his feet but stumble down back causing a loud crash. That's when I notice empty bottles of alcohol lying next to him

My heart broke seeing him in such situation. He looked up.

"Liv" a sob escape from my mouth as I ran towards him.
