THE HOUSE SMELLED of freshly baked goods, which was odd to charlotte since the clock only read eight am, putting in small golden hoops, charlotte jogged down the steps, running a hand through her hair as she did so. listening to ruby and annie bicker back and forth. flattening out the denim jean skirt she wore, she'd paired it with a navy blue spaghetti strap tank top.
"morning" the teen smiled softly, pulling open the fridge door, grasping the vanilla yogurt, setting the yogurt atop the counter she shut the fridge. "you get why sleep?" annie questioned softly, beth had been filling the two in on charlottes sleep schedule, it still wasn't back to normal. yet it was better then it had been, since now she was actually getting some sleep.
"a little, more then i've been" she told softly, grasping the granola, along with a bowl and spoon. "woah" her eyes widened at the amount of money that sat on the counter. "is that from rio?" charlotte questioned softly, looking between the three. "your on first name basis with gang friend?" ruby questioned bewildered while charlotte only shrugged her shoulders.
"i guess? i dunno. he helped me out during kenny's party with that dude" she told, closing the yogury container, setting it back into the fridge. "lesli?" annie questioned, throwing a name out to which charlotte nodded. "total creep. i didn't even know rio was here, but he scared lesli off so that's that" charlotte told, putting the bag of granola back into the cabinet.
using her spoon to take a bite of her breakfast, looking between the three who stared at her. "what?" she questioned, quirking a brow as she stood up straighter, using one hand to hold the bowl while the other used the spoon.
the sound of someone knocking on the door stole everyone's attention, and the three seemingly tensed up. "you said you were done with the gang bangers!" charlotte mentioned, setting the bowl into the sink while annie went to open the door. "we were." ruby grumbled beneath her breath.
four men had walked in, two of which charlotte was familiar with. "charlie go get your stuff for school ya?" beth told the girl who shrugged, jogging up the stairs. pushing open her bedroom door before shutting it behind herself, practically jumping out of her skin when it reopened.
eddie sent the girl a soft smile, while she quirked a brow, subconsciously taking a step away from him. "i ain't gonna hurt you" he told, leaning against her doorframe. "i didn't say you were" she told softly, he nodded, "that's why you keep backing up?" he questioned, which he wasn't wrong. she had kept taking small slow steps back, because she was in the slightest bit fearful of him.
he pushed himself off the door frame, walking around the girls room. "your mom had a detective over here yesterday, know anything about that?" he questioned, messing with the medals that hung off her wall. looking over his shoulder at the girl who shook her head.
