"Stop Charles." I managed to let out , as he stared at me in surprise. "I deserve it" I mumbled. I tried to stand up using the wall to support me, as I did so.
"What do you mean?" He asked me. I stumbled towards Oscar holding my hand out for him to take, so he could stand up. He took it by surprise as he stood up.
"You don't understand Charles" I grumbled everything getting dizzier. Suddenly, I fell, as I braced to hit the floor. Something stopped me. I looked up to be met with Charles' face inches away. I could hear his breath quicken.
I stumbled back swaying a bit, before dizzily making my way back inside to find Daniel. I noticed Oscar already inside at the bar, his eyebrows knitted together, as if he was in deep thought.
I felt somebody grab my waist and pull me back into a warm body. I looked up to be met with Charles near me again. "Let me take you home. At least so I know you're safe." He whispered gently into my ear. I nodded my head banging. He guided me outside towards a taxi that would be taking us back to the hotel.
I sat there, my mind coming to a halt as sleep enveloped me. I could hear Charles talking to me. God knows what he was saying.
Blackness suffocated me into a deep slumber.
*Charles view*
I watched her sleep next to me. Her shallow breathing slows everything down, I couldn't help but watch her. I was so confused on why she protected Oscar. He had hurt her. He had hurt my ElleCee.
I was originally heading out to grab my jacket from my car, but then I saw the commotion. I had watched her and Lando kiss earlier that evening.
I had to watch Lando hold her close to him shielding her from everyone else. She hadn't pushed him away. Did ElleCee like him back? Does Lando know about Oscar? I couldn't help but wonder.
I chuckled to myself thinking about how worried Carlos probably was. He deserved it, they walked in together, his jacket had sat protectively around her shoulders as if he was leaving a mark, so that would go for her. Was Carlos purposely trying to leave a mark?
That Jacket still hung lazily on her tanned shoulders.
I remember her expression when Ava and Amelié had walked in. She had winced at their laughs, not bothered. She had turned away back to Daniel. I could pick up pieces of their conversation. I think she's supposed to be staying with him for the Australian Grand Prix.
I couldn't help but feel annoyed that she didn't care. I wanted her to care or at least be a bit jealous, yet she wasn't.
I remember reading something somewhere that had always stuck to me.
"Find her, protect her, spoil her, dance with her, and never stop loving her or someone else will."
In a way I was protecting ElleCee, but did she need protecting? I considered, as I watched her sleep peacefully next to me.
