Unrealistic Reality

Chapter 8: Unrealistic Reality

It was already pretty late, but I couldn't wait to find the next letter. Before I did that, I noticed something. Charlie didn't came around as much as he used to do. I missed him. He is sort of the only person who was there for me. And Jamie of course. I also noticed I only have boy friends. I guess it is just easier to have boys as friends. No drama, no gossiping, just normal. I actually liked talking to boys, and I am not a shy person or something. I didn't have feelings for any boy ever before, so I don't think that's a problem for me.

Getting tired of thinking, I grabbed the pony and inspected it. At first I couldn't find anything, but then I decided to rip the head of and look inside the pony. And that's where I found it. The next letter.

Chloe, you know, this is hard to tell you. I wanted to tell you the experience from when I first killed someone." No, I didn't want to read this. Why did he tell me this? I guess my curiosity took over, and I started to read again.

Don't think badly about me now, let me tell you who this man is. His name was Martin Cressewell. He was thirty two years old, and was kind of rich. He had a wife and one son. His son was only twelve years old, and his wife didn't work. She completely needed him. Without him, she would be nothing.

He abused his wife and child on a daily basis. When he got home from is work, he would be really stressed and started to drink. Then, he would let his anger out on his son or wife. That went on for a year.

When I first got the job to kill, I was frightened. But when I heard what he did to his family, I didn't hesitate. It was just cruel to let him live.

Several months later, his wife came up to me and said 'thank you for helping me out. I owe you my life.' I still didn't know how she knew it was me, but it felt like winning the lottery.

I know killing people is bad, but still, I couldn't help but thinks that if I ever get the chance to do something like this again, I would do it.

Without hesitation.

Chloe, Jamie, I care so much about you. And that's why I give you the next clue right now. Go to the light in my life, and take it out. Make sure you create full darkness. That's all I can say.

Now, this one is a little bit hard, but I know you can find it.

Jamie, I love you too, don't forget that. I write much to Chloe now, but I certainly didn't forget about you. You are my son, my proud. I love you.

Take care kids, and be careful along the way.

This one is hard. I guess I had  to think about this a little much longer. I should call Charlie.

"Hey Charlie, would you please come over. I found a new letter." I heard him mumble something.

"At this hour?" I looked at the clock, and saw it was exactly 00.00.

"Uh, yes? You are my best friend, it shouldn't be a problem." I stiffed a laugh and he groaned.

"Alright, be there in a few." And then he hung up on me.

I waited patiently until Charlie arrived, and made sure no one would hear us.

"Hey, come in. Don't make any noise, or I will castrate you." He laughed silently and climbed through my window. When he stood in my room, I immediately showed him the letter.

"I don't think I get this one. What does that even mean? The light in my life? It is so vague." I nodded in agreement, and laid down at my bed.

"I don't think I be able to sleep right now. I just keep thinking about it." Charlie laid down beside me and pulled me closer. My head was now on his chest and his arm is around my waist. Little sparks go through my body from where he is touching me. I always have this feeling if he touches me.

I guess I have a little crush on him. Not that it is getting in the way, he actually acts like he likes me too. It is just that we are better off as friends. I think this whole thing is getting us closer together and I like it. I like it too much for my own good.

"Penny for your thoughts?" Charlie asks, turning his body so he now faces me.

"I thought about how this thing get us closer together. And I like it." I admitted shamefully. He lifted my head and pulled me into his chest again.

"Me too. You know, I like it when it is just the two of us. It is like us against the world. I know we are going to rock it in Criminal Minds." He rambled on and on, and slowly, I started to fall asleep. He noticed this and smiled a  bit.

"Sweet dreams Chloe. And remember, I love you, no matter what happens. Never forget that." I couldn't hear much after that, I was too far away. All I felt were his lips on top of my head.

I woke up, feeling a strong arm draped around my waist. I tried to get it off of me, but it was too heavy. I turned around and nudged Charlie. "Charles, wake up. I have to pee." He groaned and turned around. Well if you want it this way...

I tickled him on his side and he squealed like a girl. That caused me to laugh my ass of, and him to get red because of embarrassment. He lifted his hands, but when I stood up, he quickly pulled me down and rolled us over. He stared at me and then his gaze went to my lips and my cheeks started to heat up. This never happened before.

"Charlie" I said. Not that I could go any further because my brother walked in. Great timing bro.

"Good morning love birds! Rise and shine!" I winced at the sound of his voice. It was too hard for this time in the morning.

"Good morning Charlie. Did you sleep well next to my sister?" I knew he was going to tell Charlie his place, and I didn't want to hear it.

So, I awkwardly stood up and said
"Yeah, I gotta go now. I'll make some food for you two. Byee." And quickly rushed downstairs. I heard Jamie saying some things to Charlie in his loud voice, and I heard Charlie mutter something back.

Great, my brother ruined the moment and possible all the other moments. I guess all I can say, is that he did a really great job. At ruining my life. Ugh, brothers. You have to learn to live with them. Even after eighteen years.

Sometimes you just have to accept they do it because they love you. And that's enough to know I should let him do his thing. He wants the best for me, so even his own friend has to go through this crap. Well, lucky him. I wish you luck, Charlie.

Dubble update, yeaah :)
