The arrest of Benjamin Hope.

BRILLIANT SUGGESTION BY  

TW: SA, police

Charlie's POV:

I wake up to 273 notifications.

I check who it is and I suddenly feel very ill.

Ben Hope

I shake Nick awake, sending him into a panic.

"What!? What's going on!?" He worries.

I show him my phone and he looks at all the texts.

"He seriously won't give up." I sigh.
"He sends you more than 10 texts in the next 2 hours, I'm phoning the police." Nick groans.

I think he's joking, but soon realise he's being serious.

"You'll actually phone the police!?" I ask.
"You won't?"

I lie my head on his shoulder and sigh, holding up my phone which now has another 26 texts.

"Right. Get up." Nick says, climbing out of bed.
"No! Nick! We don't have full proof!"

He stops.

"Fine. Breakfast?" He reaches out a hand for me to take.
"Yeah."

~~

We're sitting at the table eating breakfast when Nellie starts barking at the window.

Sarah's at a friend's house so it can't be her.

"Nell! C'mere!" Nick calls her over.

She runs over to us, breathing fast and angry looking.

"What is it? Is it-" Before I can finish my sentence, the door gets knocked.

I look at Nick, a rush of fear running through my veins.

"It's ok, Char. It's probably the postman." Nick reassures.

He kisses my cheek before getting up to wash the dishes.

"Can you answer it? I'm right here if you need me."

I nod my head and go open the door, Nellie staying with Nick.

I open the door and to my surprise, it's Ben.

"W-What are you doing here!?" I panic.

Ben covers my mouth.

"Tell Nick you'll be back in a second." He whispers against my neck.

He uncovers my mouth and I feel like screaming for Nick, but I don't. I do as he says and Nick says ok.

Ben pulls me out the house and shuts the door, dragging me behind the house.

"Let go!" I squeal.

He laughs and tightens his grip on my wrist, leaving me in pain.

"Ben! Stop-"
"Shut up!" He punches me across the face.

I want to cry.

He pushes me up against a tree, out of Nick's view, and starts to kiss me.

"Stop..." I cry out.

He doesn't stop, but only goes harder.

He starts to kiss down my neck.

"You know you like it, sweetheart." Ben whispers against my skin.

I just want Nick...

Ben starts to unbutton my shirt, leaving me feeling very vulnerable.

Before he can take my shirt off, I hear Nellie barking near by.
