Charlotte woke up to her phone ringing. "Hello..?" you ask drowsily. "Charlotte. Meet me at my mansion at three o'clock." She ordered. "Wait why-" Charlotte was cut off. She sighed. Quickly she got dressed, wearing a burgundy hoodie and baggy jeans. She was about to grab her keys when she heard a car pull up in her driveway. Bryce seemed to have sent a

Driver already. She got in, and wondered what this was about. She arrived at the mansion, and stepped out of the vehicle, making her way to the door. Donovan, who was waiting just outside, led me to where Bryce was. "Ma'am? She's here." He called, knocking on her door. "Let her in." Donovan opened the door, and Charlotte stepped into her room. Bryce smiled. "Hello, Charlotte. I think you should move in here." She said, with a menacing yet harmless smile. Charlotte sighed. "Bryce, I can't. I mean- what will everyone think of

you? To have a nobody girlfriend?" Bryce frowned. "I don't CARE what they thi-" she fell to the floor, Clutching her chest. Donovan looked at her, and she nodded. He then dashed off. Charlotte watched as her irises disappeared, and her pupils got smaller. She looked like a demon now. Donovan rushed back moments later with a heart in his hand- WAIT WHAT?!-

He gave it to Bryce who shoved it in her chest. "Charlotte I- I'm sorry you had to see that." She said, straightening her skirt. "You see, I carved my heart out for a boy a while back, and have to replace it every so often." She explained. "I know it's not exactly.. Normal, but it was worth it." she giggled for a moment, before clearing her throat. It was clear she

felt hopeless, but unclear why. "I want you to think about my offer." though I know this probably ruined any chance of you liking me.. She added silently. Charlotte nodded. Donovan was about to escort her when Bobby came in. "BRYCE ARE YOU OKAY?!" He yelled, rushing to her side, Knocking Charlotte over in the process. "I'm fine, but goddamnit be

careful!" she said. Bobby looked back, and realized Charlotte pulling herself up. He went to help her, and she smiled. "Sorry, I didn't see you there." He said, apologetically. Charlotte nodded her forgivings, And they stood awkwardly for a second. "So she knows?" Bobby asked, looking at Bryce. Bryce nodded in response. Bobby raised a fist, and almost punched

Charlotte, who thankfully dodged. "Bobby, no!" Bryce yelled, running to restrain him. "Don't. Hurt. Her." She said, pausing between each word so Bobby would understand. He relaxed his muscles, and Bruce let go. ""I'm sorry, Charlotte, for his behavior." She said, the second half through gritted teeth. "It's quite alright. I've plenty good reflexes, so I didn't get

hurt." She tried to brush it off. "Donvan, escort Bobby. I want to talk with her." Bryce ordered, looking at Charlotte. When they left, Bryce collapsed on the bed. "Is this it? Are you scared of me now? Did I ruin this?" She asked, not meeting Charlotte's eyes. charlotte

Thought for a moment, and then responded clearly and confidently. "No, Bryce. I still love you, It's just a bit of a shock." Bryce looked up at her, her eyes doubtful, but hopeful. She nodded. "So about the offer...?" She asked. Charlotte smiled. "I'll pack tonight." She said simply.
