Not Your Typical Princess:Selection Fanfiction (COMPLETE)

Chapter 51

Charlie POV:
"And where is our other beautiful princess?" The interviewer says.
My dad explains what happened to Chase, tears run down my face. Someone taps on my shoulder and whispers, "miss, Alec asked me to tell you that Chase squeezed his hand. And he was-" I don't wait for her to finish.
I rip off my heals and sprint to the hospital. "Charlie!" My mom yells.
I don't stop until I get to Chase.
"What happened?" I ask.
He has tears in his eyes and running down his face, "I was just talking to her and she squeezed my hand twice then she went back to what she was like before..."
I wrap my arms around his neck, trying to keep myself from crying. I don't like crying in front of people. "Charlie," Alec says.
"Yeah?"
"You can cry, you know. I won't think any less of you..."
I start to sob into his chest. We stay like that until I feel him turn me into another chest, I know this chest. Xander. He picks me up and he sits down and with me on his lap.
"Sh-sh-she squ-eezed hi-s han-d!" I sob.
"Shhhh..." Xander says.
"Charlie!" Dad yells. "You can't just"-he sees my face-"what happened?"
"She squeezed my hand, sir." Alec says. "I was talking to her and she-" my mom throws her arms around him. He looks at me and my dad, his eyes wide. He wraps his arms around her.
She pulls back, "I'm sorry... That wasn't a very queen-like thing to do."
"Your daughter is in a coma, you don't have to be queen-like." Alec says.
"I knew Chase liked you for some reason," mom laughs.
"You okay?" Xander asks me.
I nod, he kisses my cheek. I get up and sit on the edge of her bed.
"How about we give Alec and Charlie some time with Chase?" Mom says.
Xander kisses my cheek and walks out.
"How are you doing?" Alec asks.
I shrug, "I don't know. How are you?"
He laughs, "I don't know either."
Erin POV:
I'm walking home from Jacks when I see a boy from my neighborhood, Andrew, sitting on the curb. Tears running down his face. "Hey, Andrew. Are you okay? What's wrong?" I sit down next to him.
He wipes his face, "you know about me and Nathan right?"
Andrew and Nathan have been dating for a couple of months now. "Yeah. What happened?"
"We were uh, making out in my kitchen, when my fa-father walked in." He says, his voice trembling a bit. "He, got mad, said some things and he threw me out."
"Oh my god, Andrew..." I say.
"Nathan's parents don't have room for me." He says. "My family doesn't want anything to do with me. I don't know what to do."
I stand up and offer him my hand. "Come on."
He takes it and stands up. "Where are we going?"
"To my house. My parents, they'll help you find a place."
"Erin, why are you helping me? We aren't that close or anything."
I shrug, "you need help, and it doesn't look like anyone else is stepping up."
I walk into my house. "Mom, ma?"
"In the kitchen E," mom says.
"Ewin," Kate says running over to me.
"Hey Katy," I say.
"Mom, ma?" I say walking into the kitchen.
"Hey honey, how was- who's this?"
"This is Andrew from down the street. He needs help."
Mom and ma set down what they were doing. "Kate, Sam can you two go upstairs? We need to talk to Erin."
"Okay!" Kate grabs her brother's hand and drags him up the stairs.
Andrew and I sit at the table, "what's wrong, sweetie?" Ma asks him.
Andrew tells my parents about him and Nathan and about his father and what he did.
By the end Andrew has tears running down his face. My mom hugs him, "honey, you are welcome to stay with us. We have a guest bedroom downstairs, it's yours if you want it."
Andrew looks glances at me, "why are you doing this for me?"
"I brought you here because I knew they would understand." I say.
"My parents weren't thrilled about me being gay either. They came around eventually. You're father will too," ma says resting her hand on his arm.
"You want the room?" I ask.
He smiles slightly, "sure. I have to get some stuff from my house though."
"We can go while he is at work tomorrow, I'll bring Jack." I say.
"You can borrow some of Josh's stuff."
"Josh is your brother right?" He asks.
"Yup," I say.
"We'll get your room ready. You can tell Nathan, if you would like." Ma says standing up.
"Can I ask him to come over so I can tell him?"
"Sure, dear." Mom says.
Andrew POV:
I wait outside for Nathan. Someone sits next to me. I turn to see Nathan, "hey." I say.
"Hey," he takes my hand. "I'm really sorry about today... It was my fault. I shouldn't hav-"
I press my lips to his, silencing him. "I wanted to thank you for today. I don't have to hide anymore."
Our foreheads rest against each other, "I love you." We say at the same time.
"You do?" Nathan asks.
"I do," I laugh.
"Well... I do too. Love you I mean."
I laugh. "I figured."
"So you're the Nathan he hasn't stopped talking about since he got here?" Erin says sitting in front of us.
"I am." Nathan rests his head on my shoulder. "Thank you, for doing this."
Erin shrugs, "you don't need to thank me. Well, I'll leave you two to cuddle or make out or whatever."
"I think I'm gonna like it here," I say.
•-•
It's lame, I know. But I had to introduce Nathan and Andrew. (How cute are they?)-that sentence really bothers me now... I've said it before but never really realized the words...
Anyways! I'll update soon!
Love you all!!
Keep calm and fangirl on!
