ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ "AGAIN?"
"Sorry." Charlie smiled, her hands raised slightly as she stood in an almost empty parking lot ― there were only a few cars, not including the car she and her friends had and the police car that was parked in front of it.
"This is getting ridiculous." Shane mumbled, shaking his head slightly as his eyes dropped from the girl to his boots.
"This has to be the last time." Rick, Shane's partner, stated, his blue eyes on the girl that stood before them. "You've gotten plenty warnings and-"
"And I've bailed you out a few too many times." Shane cut him off.
"I said I was sorry." The brunette huffed, letting her hands drop to her sides. "They just got a little rowdy, is all. I haven't even been drinking." Shane raised his eyebrow at her. "I'm the driver." She fished the keys from her pocket, letting them jingle slightly.
"Look, kid, we have the same conversation every time."
"Well, I'm sorry I'm not perfect like you." She huffed, her brown eyes dropping to her converse as she kicked at the pavement. It had been the topic of many conversations between them, him being favored by their parents, or even just people in general.
Shane sighed, running his hand down his face. "We'll take these guys-" he used his thumb to point at the two people that sat in the back of the police cruiser. "-to the station to sober up, why don't you head over to my place. You can crash for the night."
"No, thanks, Bubba. Your girlfriend's an idiot. Can't even turn off a damn light switch." She muttered the last part, getting a chuckle from the two men.
"You can stay at my place." Rick offered. "Lori wouldn't mind and Carl loves you."
Charlie smiled at the blue eyed man, she'd always seen him as family, how could she not? He'd been around for as long as she could remember. "Thanks, Rick."
"This better be the last time we get a call and it's you that we find."
"Yes, sir." She saluted, making the two men laugh as Shane reached out and ruffled her hair. "Stop." She groaned slightly, swatting at his hand.
"Drive safe, you little twerp." He told her and Rick chuckled at the siblings, he had always found them amusing.
"Y'all be careful." She called out to them as she made her way over to the red mustang that belonged to Mason – her best friend. "There's some crazy folks out there."
"We're always careful." Shane smirked and Charlie rolled her eyes as she slid into the car, waving as the two slid into the cop car and left.
Charlie parked the red mustang on the side of the road before stepping out and making her way to the house she was very familiar with, it was dark out but not too late. She made her way to the door and knocked, bouncing on her heels slightly as she waited.
She smiled when the door was pulled open, expecting to see Lori, but her eyes dropped down on the little brunette boy that had the same blue eyes as his father.
"Charlie!" Carl grinned, stepping out of the house and wrapped his arms around her waist.
"Hey, kiddo." Her smile grew as she patted his back.
"Carl, who's at the door?" Lori called from inside and the boy pulled back from the brunette to pull her into the house, she pushed the door close behind her but let the boy pull on her hand until they were in the kitchen. "Honey, who was-" she stopped as she turned, seeing the young girl. "Charlie." She smiled.
"Um, Rick said it was okay that I crashed here for the night. If that's alright with y'all." She looked between the two.
"Can she?" Carl asked, his blue eyes wide with joy, mostly because Charlie was the coolest person ever, at least he would say so.
"Yeah, of course." The woman nodded. "Have you eaten?"
"No, ma'am." She shook her head.
"Well, let's have a seat." Lori waved towards the table and Charlie picked Carl up, tossing him over her shoulder as she made her way to the table and the boy laughed as he dangled there. Lori couldn't help but smile at the two, they both wore huge smiles as Charlie put the kid on his feet and nudged him towards the table.
He was still laughing a little as he sat down and the girl sat beside him, ruffling his hair a bit to which he swatted at her hands.
