MAGIC|18+

Chapter 37

Charlotte's POV

Harper clears her throat bringing my distracted attention to her and Ava, I shoot them a forced smile. I can't help but remember Magic all the time, it's like the longer I don't talk and see him the stronger I feel for him. "Are you okay?", Ava asks with a concerned look. 

I nod in response and look back up to the popcorn ceiling, "Charlotte, are you sure? you seem different?", Harper questions. 

"Of course she isn't, she was kidnapped", Ava whispers the latter part like I can't hear her. 

When I look at them, Harper has a stern look towards Ava, "What?", Ava scowls at Harper, "It's true", she looks towards me. Yeah it's true but not that it was traumatising for me, I think I had it somewhat easy. 

I bite on the inside of my mouth ripping at the skin, "It's not like you think it was", I say.

"What do you mean?", Harper asks. 

I sit up on the bed and turn to them, I once use to tell them everything because they were my best friends so why am I not telling them now? "Yes I was kidnapped and it was horrible, I thought I was going to die but I didn't want that to be my fate but things happened and I changed..."

"What things?", Ava butts in. 

I tilt my head beginning to smile like a creep, "I fell in love with him", If I focus I can remember his lips on mine.

"Your kidnapper?", Ava says disgusted. 

"No! He didn't kidnap me, he...saved me I guess and many other girls, he saved a girl name Lizzy and she was in the same situation as me, he got her home safely and..."

"Wasn't you in hospital because you were shot?", Ava says confused not seeming to understand which I get but she could at least let me finish. 

"Let her finish", Harper reads my thoughts. 

"He acted tough but he was a sweetheart deep down and yes he has trauma of his own because that was clear", I raise my brows, "I made a mistake, I did something I shouldn't have because I didn't know him and I thought he was lying to me... well, yes he has done bad things but people change, I even changed" I look down to my hands, he's now locked up because of me. 

"Where is he now?", Harper asks,  her voice is soft like she understands or feel sympathy for me. 

"I put him in prison", well it wasn't all me. It was D aswell but I'm now wishing I didn't tell that stupid agent anything at all or let her manipulate me.

"Why? What did he do?", Ava seems scared to ask. 

"I probably couldn't count every bad thing he did on my fingers but he isn't like that anymore so it doesn't matter about his past", I sigh, "I want to visit him", I state after a beat of silence. 

"What?", Ava laughs like she can't believe my words and Harper follows not sure how to act. 

"You guys are my best friends and I'd hope you would support my decision and maybe come with me to New York"

 Harper and Ava both look at each other, unsure what to say, "Not come in with me to see him, you guys can wait in the car", I specify. 

Harper looks towards me with sadness clouding her eyes, she feels sorry for me, "Of course we will, Char. We just want you to be sure that this is what you want"

"I wouldn't say it if it wasn't what I wanted", I just need to see him and if he says that he doesn't want to talk to me again then I'll understand and never go to see him again and I'll block him out...get on with my life like I probably should but I'm desperate and pathetic. 

"Fuck it, I always wanted to go to New York", Ava shrugs. 

"You know what, me too", Harper smiles.

I feel my smile breaking through, a real smile since being back home. "Thanks, It means a lot that you guys are coming"

Magic's POV

"Let me out!", I scream and slam my hands on the door.

"You need to calm down!", I hear the warden shout from behind the steel door. 

I broke someone's nose so now I'm stuck in this small concreate room with no windows for 24 hours, he pissed me off so he deserved it and plus he knows something about my father, he's one if his inside guys and I only know that because I remember seeing him in the house once in a while when my father was in the game. It looks like my father trying to age backwards and unretire to fuck with me. He probably thinks that I fucked up so he has to take over but he's wrong and he has stepped over the line with wanting Charlotte. 

"You need to fuck off and let me out!", I say back to the warden. 

He tuts and opens the little hatch door giving me a view of his eyes, the wrinkles at his outer corner becoming deeper as he scowls at me. "Keep going Whyte and you'll be in here 48 hours", my jaw sets as I stare at his eyes.

How can I save or protect Charlotte if I'm stuck in this shitty prison and being here in this cell away from every single inmate doesn't help, it's easier to protect her using my communications on the outside but how can I do that when I've lost all privileges.  

He shuts the hatch and I hear him walk away swinging the keys around his finger, a chuckle coming from his mouth, I groan turning around and leaning against the door. What the fuck am I suppose to do, I'm in here for 24 hours and a lot can happen in that time. 

24 hours later

Pushing me through the doors into gen pop, "Asshole", I grunt shrugging his hands off.

"Just be lucky you got out", he deeply scowls, he hates me with a passion and would love to see me in that cells everyday suffering. 

"Welcome back", Martin wraps his arm around my shoulder like he's pulling me in for a hush conversation. "I spoke to Nick for you, he'll try find Charlotte and keep her safe from a distance" 

"Good, so he knows to let her get on with her life?", all I want is for her to be happy and safe and if that means she doesn't love me and I stay out of her life then it's fine by me.

"Yes", he nods. 

"Good work, Martin", I pat his shoulder and he walks away.

"Ohhh, look who is back", I hear and turn around.

"How's the nose? Looks a little bruised", I smirk. His black eyes narrow like he would easily get joy out of provoking me. 

"Whyte!", I hear my name. I turn to the doors I just came from, "You've got a visitor", the warden says. 

I clench my fist knowing it will be my father to come piss me off, I follow behind the warden and before we go into the visitors room he turns to me, "Sorry, Whyte", he says pulling out handcuffs. He's one of the wardens I actually like, he doesn't think he's a big man just because he can boss us around, plus he's young so he knows where he stands.

I nod, "It's alright, Rob", he tightens them around my wrists, the door buzzes open and I walk inside. I look around the room and then my heart stops when I see the long blonde hair...Charlotte?
