                      LAST HOPE

Charlis POV:
I can't believe I'm about to do this. am I that desperate? I mean... the note does say "use it when you need it" it doesn't necessarily mean "use it when Justin hurts you again" so technically I can use it right now... what if he doesn't believe me... he's met bill, he knows how nice of a guy bill is... way too nice to ever do anything bad...

I have 2 remaining options... call Chase, a literal stranger... or go back to my house.

I instantly remembered the feeling of his old wrinkly hands against my skin
I put my face in my hands and started crying again

god I'm such a mess. what has happened? this is the worst day ever, how do I go from grounded to homeless. He ruined everything... everything! and unless that man leaves my house I'm never going back. Ever. No matter what I have to do. I'm not going back.

I picked up my phone and dialled in the number on the note

C'mon please pick up Chase

As soon as it started ringing it connected almost Immediately

Thank god. Please let me stay.

Chase: "Charli?"

I sighed

Charli: "hi Chase"

Chase: "are you okay? Please tell me you're okay? What did he do Charli. I swear-"

Charli: "it wasn't Justin... it was someone else... but please I'm begging you, can I stay at your house-"

Chase: "yes"
He immediately answered

Chase: "yes of course, love. what ever you need as long as you need"

My frown quickly turned into a smile

He doesn't even have to know why? I don't even need an excuse?

Charli: "really?"

I'm convinced he's the nicest person I've ever met in my entire life?

Chase: "of course. Id do it for anyone"

He doesn't even need to have to believe me? He doesn't even need any details whatsoever?

Charli; "thank you so much Chase, you don't understand- my mom kicked me out and nobody's letting me stay at their house..."

Chase: "I'm so sorry about that. Please let me find you and walk you to my house, being out this late isn't safe"

He's already letting me stay, I'm not gonna let him find me then walk me to his place. Il manage.

Charli: "no, I'm not letting you do that"

Chase: "you sure? Because I don't think it would be too hard. I could find you"

Nope.

Charli: "I can walk. Just send me your address please"

I can't believe he's really letting me stay... I'm so happy he gave me his phone number, because without it I'd probably be back at the house right now...
