Love You Forever

Chapter 69

I get in my car, waving goodbye to my friends as they get in the car behind mine.

"Okay, Charlie, can you hear me?" Seth's voice comes through my earpiece.

At first, I don't know how to answer back. Then, I soon remember the microphone connected to me.

"Loud and clear." I answer.

"Are you ready?" He asks.

"Let's do this."

I put my car in drive, rolling off to wherever the hell Bray wants to meet me.

I come upon a small bench on the side of the road. I pull over, getting out the car cautiously.

I guess I should just sit and wait.

***

After about 30 minutes, I'm fed up.

"Are you sure he wasn't just tricking me?"

"Hello Abigail."

"Holy shit!"

I jump off the bench, backing away from Bray. Brian appears right next to him.

He takes a step towards me, and I immediately take a step back.

"I have your stupid bracelet!" I take it off my wrist, throwing it at him.

It hits him, falling to the ground. He looks down at it, bursting into laughter as Brian stares on at me.

"Now, you have what you want Bray! Leave me the hell alone!" I say before he laughs once again.

"Oh Abigail....."

"I'm not Abigail!"

"Charlie..." He says. Wow, I think that's the first time he's called me by my actual name.....maybe not. "You are very brave coming out here alone."

"Well, you said you wanted the bracelet, and you said I had to be alone to give it to you. Here I am."

"Yes, but the question is.....why?"

"Because I want you to leave me alone. You know for a fact I'm not Abigail so there's no reason for you to keep harassing me."

"Ah...." He says, followed by laughter. "But you see, Charlie, there's no reason for me to stop."

Confusion takes over, but I somehow knew Bray would pull something like this. My breathing picks up, and I take a few steps back.

"You're a liar! YOU SAID YOU JUST WANTED THE BRACELET!"

He bends down, picking it up from the ground. "You are a descendant of Abigail."

"Bray, you're crazy! You're sick!"

He results in cackling laughter again. Brian hasn't said a word yet, but his smirk tells me Bray has a plan. Something tells me this isn't gonna end well.

"What's the plan then, huh?" I ask, continuing to back away as he steps towards me. "You're gonna try to take me again?"

"Oh Charlie, don't you understand? I have no use for you anymore."

Okay, now I'm confused. He was just telling me how he isn't going to leave me alone, and now he's saying he has no use for me. What's he trying to do?

"You're not Abigail. I have no use for you."

"Then just let me go, Bray. Why does this need to be so hard. You don't always have to be so sick and sadistic?"

Bray laughs once again. "Well, you see Charlie, I have something that you want."

My eyebrows furrow together. What could he possibly have that I.....

"Rockabye baby on the tree top." Bray stats to sing and my eyes widen, knowing instantly what he means. "When the wind blows, the cradle will rock. When the bough brakes, the cradle will fall." He points to an image behind me. "And down will come baby, cradle, and all."

I look up to see a baby seat laying in the middle of the sidewalk. Cries echo.

I cautiously take a step towards it. I remember Dean telling me Brian was trying to convince him the baby was alive. I never knew it could actually be possible.

I run over to the seat, kneeling down beside the crying baby.

There is a small sheet placed over his head. I slowly take it off to reveal a small baby doll, making the noises of a soft cry.

My eyes widen.

"You see Charlie...." Bray's voice comes from right behind me now. "Things don't always go as planned."

I turn around, looking up at Bray. I see an object in his hand.

"OH MY GOD!"

Dean's POV

Once I hear a crying baby, I almost choke. The baby. He's alive! Chandler's alive!

"Go!"

"No Dean!" Seth protests. "He could be tricking her.

This is weird. It's been silent for way too long.

I can only hear a faint sound of Bray's voice. "You see Charlie, things don't always go as planned."

"OH MY GOD!"

My eyes widen as soon as I hear her scream. Seth notices it too.

"GO!" I yell. "GO!"

Seth finally agrees, stepping on the gas. His speed picks up, and he goes as fast as he can.

"I knew this was a shitty idea!"

"Better than yours!" Seth argues.

"I didn't even have an idea!"

"Exactly!"

"Having no idea is better than having a shitty idea!"

"Oh really......"

"GUYS!" AJ snaps. "This petty girl fight isn't helping Charlie at all."

"GET THE HELL AWAY FROM ME, BRAY!" Charlie's voice echos through my ear.

I have to get to her. I need to get to her.

I can't imagine what will happen if I don't.
