Charlie Bradbury: Teenage Orphan

Sam is Also Afraid of Snakes

"I just don't understand it,' I murmured for the hundred time walking into the house with Sam on my heels. I heard him sigh "you kept saying that the whole way home tell me what's up," I turned around looking him directly in the eye "tell me about being in love." Sams jaw dropped and he looked at me astounded "well I've never been in..." I plopped down in a chair at the kitchen table and cut him off "tell me about Jessica tell me how you met and everything," he looked around the room uncomfortable until he met my eyes "fine but later on your gonna tell me how you knew about her." I nodded urging him to go on and he sighed "it all started freshman year, things started getting worse at home my dad always drunk and him and Dean constantly bickering about everything and i needed to get away so I started going to this pond Dean used to take me to when I was younger. I'd read or study or anything really it was nice there quiet and not many people went there and when they did they didn't annoy me in fact they left me alone. but I remember when that changed it was September 13th I was sitting against a tree reading my book when she came over to me and plopped down next to me opening her own book and starting to read. I didn't even bother to look up at her until thirty minutes later when she asked what book I was reading, I don't even remember what book either of us was reading but I remember we talked for hours and after that night it was never the same as it was before when I came there. I continued going there frequently and most of the time she was there so we talked and our friendship grew until it was more than a friendship and even though we didn't go to the same school we were together all the time we did everything together even helped each other with homework. Almost every weekend we got together and did stuff like bowling and the indoor trampoline place and I thought she was the one. It lasted over two years and those were the best two years of my life until three or four months ago when her dads company moved him to a different country and she left with him. We vowed we could make a long distance relationship work but after a month or so she started to change she started going to parties and not answering my calls and that's when I knew it was over so there you go." "wow," I whispered looking at Sam "you loved her right?" Sam sighed "not loved, love some part of me believes she still loves me too and she'll come back its what gets me up in the morning." Lucifer came crashing into the room looking around like he was searching for something then he saw us and he stared at us wide eyed "uh hey guys uh nothing going on here but you should probably be careful where you step." I looked at him weirdly thinking over what he said "what did you do?," I questioned glancing at Sam who was looking around on the ground nervously "definitely not accidentally loose a snake in the house because that would be irresponsible of me." Sam and I looked at him wide eyed "sn-sn-snake I don't like snakes," Sam whispered to me "I say we all work together to look for it," I said ignoring Sams comment. we slowly searched the kitchen and when that was done moved on to the living room "wait a minute how and why is there even a snake in the house?" I questioned suddenly curious "Gabriel put it in my sock drawer so technically it's his fault," Lucifer said frowning and I chuckled "of course it was him." the search seemed hopeless until "AHHH," Sam screamed flinging himself into the closest persons arms which happened to be Lucifer who stumbled a little but straightened up, thank god it wasn't me because I would have fell. "It touched me its right there," he pointed vigorously at it "uh sorry," he said getting out of Lucifers arms and rubbing his neck embarrassed. I didn't watch the rest of the exchange but I heard Lucifer chuckle at Sam as I descended towards the snake and then pounced grabbing it. "hey Sam want to see the snake?" I said as I chased him around the room with it as he yelled at me and Lucifer laughed. After putting the snake outside Sam and I decided to go up to my room and hangout "so..." Sam said catching my attention "so was earlier about how you think you like someone?" I looked away and murmured "yes." Sams expression shot up and he smiled at me mischievously "so what's her name?" I looked at the floor avoiding eye contact at all costs "NO WAY!" he screamed and I looked up at him "what?" he squinted at me looking at my face "its a boy isn't it?" "maybe," I whispered looking up at him "ok who is it? do I know them ?" "umm I'd rather not say they aren't exactly the best person, but the real question is are you into someone? like maybe a certain guy?" I wiggled my eyebrows at him and he looked away "I don't know who your insinuating but I don't like it I have nothing against people being homosexual and i wouldn't mind dating a guy but if your saying who I think you are that's just wrong." I sighed "ok fine but when do you turn eighteen?" He gave me that 'don't get any ideas look' as he opened his mouth "a few days," I smiled victoriously "its like destiny I mean come on Sammy don't you believe in destiny?" he gave me a bitch face "first off don't call me Sammy and second off I don't even like him that way at least I don't think I do and I barely know him so...plus...jessica..." I sighed defeated and fell backwards onto the bed "ugh fine but just keep the possibility there," "fine," Sam said and that was good enough for me. But when Sam wasn't looking I slightly frowned at the last two words that Sam had murmured about Jessica I felt bad for him.

I was wondering if you guys had any thoughts on if Charlie should be straight/lesbian/bi and who she should be with
