UNFORTUNATE

CHAPTER 4

"Hey Charlie."

"Sorin?! What are you doing out here in this weather?? Come on, come inside!" He gently pulled me inside the house by the arm. I was soaking from head to toe. My feet was throbbing in pain. Droplets from my clothing dropped on the floor. Charlie slowly inspected my face and body to see if I got hurt. "You're soaking wet, Sorin. Hold on for a minute, I'll get you a towel before you get sick." He said with worry in his face.

He ran upstairs then grabbed a towel in one of his drawers. He came back down with the towel then started to wipe my face, arms and hair. I smile slowly, trying to lighten up the mood a little bit.

"They did it, didn't they..?" He asked with so much sadness in his eyes. I slowly nodded, sighing quietly. Charlie was the only one who knew about my miserable life. My miserable life with them. 

I slowly lowered my head after the nod.

He sighed then slowly pulled me into his arms, hugging me in a comforting way. He slowly rubbed my back in circles, patting my head while has calmed me with his soothing words.

"Let it all out, Sorin. No need to bottle those emotions up anymore. You're safe here with me now."

My eyes widened slightly, a quiet gasp leaving my mouth. My lips quiver as tears build up, coming down one by one. I started sobbing on Charlie's shoulder. I wet his shirt, letting my emotions get the best of me.

After a while,  I calmed down, sniffling a little bit. I felt dry, my cheeks and eyes shaded with red. I was now sitting on the floor next to Charlie's bed, staring blankly on my lap. I couldn't help but  think about what Ares and Damien said.

"Your own family doesn't even love you. So how do you expect Brian to like you?" 

Well, I guess they are right. No one would be here to love me, comfort me, care for me. When will I ever admit that fact..? I've tried so hard, so hard for anyone to love me. I really did. I've tried so hard for them to love me. What have I ever done wrong?

"Hey bud." I heard Charlie say in the doorway, holding some folded clothing on his hand. He smiled at me as he walked to me. He knew I was overthinking again. He slowly set the clothes aside before sitting next to me, his knees to his chest.

"You know what, Sorin..? You shouldn't think or listen about what they say to you over there, okay..? You've done nothing to deserve the things they've done to you. They never deserved loved from you, alright?" He said as you slowly grabbed my hand, slowly rubbing it while he looked at my hand with sincerity.

I nodded, making him smile lightly. "Alright, I've got some clothes that you left here, so why don't you shower before heading to bed? I'll go to sleep already. Good night, sunny." He said before kissing my forehead.

He then laid on his bed, fast asleep.

I sighed softly before heading up, grabbing the clothes beside me. I headed to the restroom down the hall. I've came and stayed here a couple of times. His parents even think of me as a family member. It's pretty funny, really.

Opening the door, I slowly laid the clothes on the sink, slowly staring at my reflection. I hate how I look like. Not to mention, I have always hated how I looked like starting from a young age. I wish I wasn't myself.

I slowly took my clothes off one by one, piling them on the floor. I went inside the shower, turning on the faucet to lake warm water. I gasp in pleasure as warmth made the coldness disappear. I brushed my palm all over my skin, rubbing off the dirt and suds.

Not too long after I finished, I reached my hand out of the shower curtain, grabbing the towel that was beside the shower curtain. I wiped myself before getting out of the shower. I slid on the clothes, a black t-shirt with grey sweatpants and a pair of socks I left in case something happened at "home".

I wished this had not happened.

I wish for lots of things. I wished for "them" to love me. Yet, it would never come true.

What have I ever done to make then mad at me..?

What else should I do to make anyone to love me..?

"Sorin, you know I can help you with that... Just listen to me then after a split second, they will love you forever."

"I don't believe you..."

"Trust me. If you die, they'll love you and until then, I could ease your pain. Wouldn't you want that, Sorin? Come on, just give in."

"Just shut up."

I grabbed my dirty clothes, wrapping it with my towel before heading out of the foggy bathroom, watching the smoke blow out. I then went downstairs then down the basement, flipping the switch on as I reached the laundry area.  I then threw the clothing on the basket then flipped the switch off before heading back upstairs.

I opened Charlie's door slowly, the door opening with creaks. I saw Charlie laying on the bed, his arms and legs spread across the bed as he drooled in his sleep. I looked at him then chuckled under my breath. How can he sleep in the matter of minutes? I guess that's a secret that Charlie would keep.

I closed the door gently and I walk towards the bed. Charlie's arms and legs were still everywhere. I sighed then picked up his arm, hearing him snore loudly as I did so. I finally finished then I slowly picked up the thick covers, making my way in the covers.

I then fell into a deep slumber.
