*Charlie's P.O.V.*

After the long drive, we arrive at an amazing big park, with swings and slides, and there's a big oval where people are running around.
There are dogs, children, adults. Everyone seems to love it here!

I hop out of the car excitedly and Caspar gets out and grabs my arm, just as I'm about to run off onto the swing.
"Hey, wait. Don't get too excited. I'll go on the swing with you a bit later. We can take the kids on them too." He says.

I turn around and go with him, as he pulls my hand over to where everyone is setting up.
Emily hauls some baskets out of the boot of the car, and brings them over to a long park table, it could fit around 6 people on each side, but we only have 8 people, so there will be a lot of free space.

"Charlie! Can we go swing with you?" Hannah nags, as she pulls on my arm.
"We will in a little while. We can have some food first." I say. She smiles, and quickly seats herself at the table, awaiting food.

I'm not starving, because we stopped at nandos on the way here, but we didn't get much, so I could still eat. And by the looks of things, this was all fresh food, and very appealing to me. There's a big container full of fruit salad, there's two trays of sandwiches - multiple fillings - fruit kebabs, juice boxes - which is adorable - a few fizzy drinks and some cheese and crackers.

I could sit here and eat this all day.

I take my seat at the table next to Caspar, and help lay everything out.
Paper plates are passed around, and everyone serves themselves. I get a bit of everything. I get three sandwiches, as they're cut in quarter triangles, and I choose a ham and cheese one, a ham, lettuce and mayo, and a devon and tomato sauce sandwich.

There's some chatter around the table, but nothing really concerning me.
I continue to eat, until I hear something that does interest me.
"Yeah, I'm going for state skating championships after the wedding." Andrew says.
"Skating?" I say, absent mindedly.
"Yeah, you skate?" He asks.
"I love it. I have 13 decks." I say.
"Wow, I have only 4. You must be a pretty heavy skater." Andrew says.
"Yeah, I taught myself, after everything happened at home and it was my get away." I say. I don't feel upset about mentioning what happened, its not like I went into full detail, I'm not fussed.

"Cool." Andrew smiles. "It is pretty relaxing, once you've got the hang of it."

"Yeah, it is." I agree.

"I'm finished." Hannah says, pushing her plate away. It has two crusts on it from the sandwiches.
"You don't like crusts?" I ask. "I love them."
She shakes her head.
I remember my mum telling me when I was little and I didn't eat my crusts, it'll make your hair go curly.
I feel my face drop at the memory of her, which makes me think of my dad and how he's back in Australia - probably on the hunt for me. It makes so many emotions flood my head, overwhelming me.
"You okay?" Caspar whispers, getting up from the table. I shrug. I don't want to bring attention to myself, or ruin this day. I just feel like I'm holding in too much.
There have been too many thoughts in the past few days that I just let slide because I didn't want to ruin anything or make this trip miserable. I know Casp would worry about me if he knew something was up, I had to keep it in.

I feel his strong arms come around my body as he lifts me up.
"Come on, baby." He says, gently.
I lift my legs so they don't catch on the table and he pulls me up off the table.
He turns me around so I'm facing him, and holds me close, walking somewhere where the others can't hear.

I feel us move down, and I'm sat on something soft. I open my eyes, and I'm sitting on Caspar's lap.

"So what was going on?" He asks, concern filling his features.
"I just can't stop thinking that my father is somewhere in Sydney, probably looking for me. I didn't want to worry you or ruin this trip. I know it means a lot to you - seeing your family and all." I sigh.
"Charlie, you tell me. You tell me whenever anything concerns you, even if it seems like its not even worth worrying about, you tell me. If something upsets you, I want to know so I can try and fix it." He says.
"I love you." I say.
Its all I can manage, as the tears flood from my eyes.
I bury my face in his shoulder and I just feel him rubbing my back gently, soothing me.
"I love you Charlie. More than anything in this world." He whispers.

"I don't want to ruin your family outing. I should go back to the house and you can stay here and have a good time." I sigh.
"I'll make you happy. I'm not having you leave. I feel like you're not safe unless you're with me." Caspar says.
I sigh again. I guess I'll stay.
We remain in a tight hug.
He pushes me up slightly, just so he can see my face. He wipes away my tears with his thumb and cleans me up.
"Think we can go back now? Hanni really wants to go on the play equipment." Caspar says.
"Yep. I can go. Caspar thank you, I love you so much." I say as we get up and start walking back over to the others.
I take deep breaths as I walk, making sure I'm calm in front of everyone - especially the kids.
Hannah's face lights up as we get closer, and she runs up to me.
"Swing now?" She nags.
"Yeah, of course." I say.
Max quickly gets up and they both take my hands, and we walk to the swings.
