Loud giggles woke me up.
"Who is she?" A semi-naked girl wearing way too much make-up shrieked when she saw me staring at her and Charlie from my mattress.
He sighed, wordlessly grabbed me by the wrist, opened the small wardrobe at the corner of the room and threw me inside before closing the door.
It took me a full minute to realize what had just happened, and that it had in fact not been a dream, or a nightmare, rather.
The loud moans that ensued got me worried about my brother.
What if she was hurting him? Maybe she was one of those vampires they talked about in books.
I slowly crawled to the door and pushed it open as noiselessly as I could.
What?! Ewwwwwwwwwwwwww!
I quickly closed the door back when I saw what Charlie and his now very naked friend were doing...
Ugh... I wished I hadn't looked.
When she started screaming his name, I decided it was high time for me to block my ears.
I must have fallen asleep at some point because I suddenly found myself in Charlie's arms. I scrunched up my nose at how bad he smelt: a mixture of cheap perfume, sweat and something else I didn't recognize.
I didn't say a word, of course, not even when he put me down on his mattress and took me in his arms.
When he started snoring, I tried to wriggle away from his hold but he tightened it so I gave up.
The fact that he wanted me in his arms meant he felt sorry for putting me through whatever that was, though, didn't it?
