Here's chapter 24. I love you all.

"Did she seem alright to you?" I asked Caspar.
"I don't know. What's 'alright'? I don't know her so I don't know what to expect." He answered.
I just looked at him blankly.
He gave me a look of apology which I returned a look of 'don't worry'.

I walked up to the room I now shared with Caspar and sat on Caspar's side of the bed which was the furthest from the door. I wanted to talk to Kayla but if anything happened then I can't push her on it. I just sat on the bed. I was exhausted. I couldn't handle anything more. I had a visitor, two tired boys - one of which was seriously injured, then I lashed out at Zoe last night. All this thinking was giving me a headache. I want to go back to sleep.

I felt the bed dip down. Someone was sitting on it. Then their hands slipped around my waist.
"Don't worry, if something is going on she'll tell you when she's ready. I'm sure you, of all people know how hard it is to open up sometimes. Even to your best friend. She'll tell you whem she's ready. We just need to make her as comfortable here as we can for the moment." Caspar whispered into my hair.
I turned my head and he kissed me. I heard a knock at the door. Caspar and I both turned around.

"I'll give you two some time." Caspar said, grabbing my hand and rubbing circles with his thumb, then letting go and leaving the room.

Kayla watched him like a hawk as he walked out of the room.
I just sat there looking at her, waiting for something to happen.

"Hey..." She finally said.
"Hey." I replied with a tight, faked smile.
"So that's this famous boyfriend of yours is it?" Kayla asked.
"The one and only." I smiled proudly. And I was proud to have Caspar.

"He seems sweet. Really kind and gentle." She said.
"He is." I replied, smiling.
"He'll take good care of you. I'm glad that my best friend is in good hands. Thanks for letting me stay here Charlie Bear. I really needed it and I'm so thankful that you just said yes pretty much instantly." Kayla said sincerely.
"Aw thats okay! I love you Kayla! Did you expect me to make you stay out on the streets?" I joked.
"Kinda." Kayla quietly said. I hardly even heard her say that.
"Well I just wanted to say thanks. For everything. I haven't spoken to you in how long? And you still let me stay here? I could've become a serial killer within that time." Kayla tells me.
"Well of course, you're always welcome here. No need to say thanks." I smile.

"Do you want some pancakes or toast or something?" I ask.
"Yes please." Kayla answers, and we get up and walk out of the room.

**Kayla's P.O.V.**

I walk to the top of the stairs and I'm about to go down but Caspar looks at me. And Zoe - I think her name is Zoe? She keeps looking too.

I start walking down the stairs and everyone's eyes are still on me! As I get to the bottom of the stairs, I bump into someone who is just a bit taller than me.
Holy wow. He is hot.

"Uh, sorry about that. Oh! You must be Kayla! I'm Joe." He laughs.
"Yeah, that's me." I awkwardly smile.

I go to sit down at the table and Charlie makes me some food. She knows what I like so I don't need to tell her.
I look around the table sussing everyone out one last time, so I'm absolutely certain.

"Okay so let's get this straight. You and you are Charlie's cousins?" I ask pointing to Joe and Zoe.
"Yep." Joe replies.
"And you're her boyfriend?" I ask Caspar.
He smiles proudly.
"Yeah."
"So does anyone else have partners here?" I ask around the table. I felt so comfortable with these people! Usually I would sit there quietly and awkwardly. I'm not a social person at all.

"Yeah," Zoe spoke up, "I have a boyfriend. His name is Alfie. Tonight he's actually going to come around and stay the night."
"That's cool." I smile. "I look forward to meeting him. What about you, Joe?" I ask, turning my focus to Joe.
He looks down.
"No. I haven't found the right girl yet. Hopefully I do soon." He looks up smiles at me.
"I haven't had much good luck with boys. I'm really cautious with who I let into my life. Charlie was lucky to even have me open up to her in the past, I don't have trust in many people at all." I say.

Charlie smiles at me and comes over with a plate.
She puts it down in front of me. Its two pieces of toast, one with tomato and cheese melted on and one with cheese spread.
"Thanks bæ." I say, making her laugh.
"Thats okay bæ." She replies.
We look to the table and everyone is staring at us with confusion.
"Ummmm. Okay then. You guys are weird...." Caspar says as he gets up from the table to go upstairs.
"You're my real bæ." Charlie laughs.
"I don't have a bæ." Joe says, frowning.
"Aw, me neither. We can be bæ-less together." I say to Joe.
"Sounds good." Joe laughs.

Um yeah so okay buddy. I don't even know what I just wrote :") sorryyyyyyyyyyyy.
Ya I'll update soon kids. Peace out. ✌
