Love You Forever

Chapter 62

Charlie's POV

Dean and I head back to the hotel after a great day of beach walking and sex talking.......and actual sex.

It's ironic how I have sex all the time when months ago, I'd cringe at the word. I've changed so much over time.

Dean throws an arm around my shoulder, pulling me closer to him. "You must be hungry, kiddo."

I smile. "A little."

Dean gestures for me to get in the car before getting in the driver's seat. "What are you hungry for?"

"It doesn't matter to me. You pick."

"What about pizza?"

My mind instantly wanders to Seth for some unknown reason. I mean, Dean and I have had pizza before, but cold pizza was my thing with Seth. I remember the good ol days when we used to hang out and play video games, eating cold pizza. Now those days are gone and I'm afraid I'll never get them back.

One reason being that I slept with the man. Drunk or not, it was still consent given and I willingly slept with him. I think cold pizza and video games would be kinda awkward.

Second, he slept with AJ. After everything, he chose to try to get over me by sleeping with my best friend and that's not okay.

The problem is, AJ hates Seth so for her to sleep with him, she must've been really drunk.

Or was she?

What if it was all just an act? What if they both had this little thing going on for ages and just never cared to mention it to anyone? What if they're like....in love or something?

No! That can't be! Why am I so worried about this shit? I haven't even answered Dean's question yet, and now he's staring at me like I've lost my mind.

"Pizza sounds good." I answer, trying to force my best smile. "But do you think we could take it home and stick it in the freezer?"

AJ's POV

Once you get past the little demeaning devil, Seth's actually a really cool guy. We actually have a lot in common.

He likes video games and animals. We could be best friends if I liked him enough.....which I don't.

"I used to like to pretend I lived in Raccoon City." He comments and I burst into laughter.

"Dude! Me too! It's even on my twitter."

We laugh once again, almost spilling our drinks over.

The waitress eventually comes with the bill and Seth insists he pay for everything, even my meal.

"Seth, you don't have to do that. I'm the one that invited you out anyway. I should be paying."

"Yeah, but I'm the one that took you out. And besides, I'm a gentleman. Therefore, I'm paying."

"Seth, you really don't have to. At least let me pay for myself."

"No need to. I've got it covered."

I sigh, defeated and lay back against the booth, watching Seth pay.

Roman's POV

What the hell am I supposed to do? I'll just tell Dean and Charlie what happened and see if either of them know anything about that bracelet. I've never seen it on Charlie's wrist so how the hell is she supposed to know what it is?

I'll just wait for them to get home and talk to them.

Once they finally come strolling through the door at 7 pm with a box of pizza, I jump up from my seat.

They look at me confusingly, but Charlie just smiles. "Someone's excited to see me." She comments before going over to the fridge and placing the box of pizza in.

"I need to talk to both of you. It's important." I manage.

"If it's about this Bray shit......"

"I think you'd rather know than not know!" I say, interrupting Dean. I know he doesn't want to hear about this, but he has to.

So I sit them both down and tell them the whole story. About the run in at the gym. About the bracelet. Everything.

"Charlie, do you know what he's talking about?" I ask. Her eyes are wide as she rises to her feet, retreating to her room.

Moments later, she returns with something in her hand. "This?" She asks, placing it in front of me.

It's a small bracelet with a black heart in the middle. Wow, so when Bray said 'black heart', he literally meant 'black heart'.

It still doesn't make any sense though. Why would Bray want this?

"Where'd you get it?"

Charlie sighs. It's as if she knows something. She knows why Bray's harassing her.

"My grandmother gave it to me before she died." She says.

"What was her name?"

Charlie's face turns to fear as if this is a final truce.

"Abigail."
