Charlotte was an extremely lucky girl with an extremely lucky life. However her grandmother linny was the only thing keeping her alive. They would go on walks down to the sunny side of the Margate beach. The cool ocean breeze blowing through their blonde hair made them realise how much little things meant. Linny and Charlotte would watch musicals in the west end , singing along to every tune then standing up cheering and waving at the end. Linny and Charlottes favourite memory was sneaking into the royal ball for VIPs only with linny simply saying "lotte Is my VIP thank you and I've been invited so don't doubt my presence" and walked right in with charlotte laughing and running behind her. That's where she got the nickname lotte and it's stuck with her since then. Her grandmother was a rather young looking woman for her age, with luscious blonde locks and deep blue eyes, making the ocean look unreal. They did Everything together. Despite the fact they didn't live together, which was the only downside to their strong relationship however, they always made the time to see each other no matter how busy or empty the schedule was and spent every last moment with each other, because as Charlotte says, death is an unexpected cause that breaks the hearts of the loved ones and set swings for the dead.
A core memory cherished in both of there beating hearts was the day they met linnys soon to be husband at the seaside in hastings. but sadly short after linny and gregs proposal greg shortly died of a painful slow burning death due to his failing heart. the memory of their meeting was forever locked into charlotte's heart, she loved watching her beloved linny in love with a man who bought out her true shining colours.His death broke poor linnys sorry heart resulting in her never leaving her house,hardly taking care of herself and staring into the photograph of linny and Greg holding hands with a promise ring reading 'always and forever'.Despite all this in the background Charlotte stuck by her side and turned her grieving into a quick recover.
The moment that Greg died linny said the most special thing that would stick in charlottes heart and soul forever. 'One moment can make or break you. And things like this will break you but you have to pick yourself up and keep going in life no matter how hard it is' Charlotte will forever remember the words coming out of her grandmothers sobs. Her heart breaking knowing her grandmothers was now in a million pieces.
One thing with Greg, he wasn't a very nice man. Where he was good to linny and Charlotte, but he was cruel to other people. Many many doctors were in the room when Greg passed. No one was sorry to see him die. Except from Charlotte and linny. The only two people Greg really loved.
Linny truly loved Charlotte, in fact when Charlotte was just a child, she and linny would go on special little walks round the pond. Except one day it wasn't very special. Linny was a strong independent woman who didn't take any shit from anyone. One day as they were in the park a man tried to snatch Charlotte away. "HEY, BACK OFF" linny shouted punching the guy in the face knocking him backwards "don't you ever lay a hand her again, or I'll do worse than break your face" she said to the man who was then laying on the floor. She grabbed charlottes hand and dragged her away
But after that when Charlotte met someone. Her and her grandmothers lives changed forever.
