The Calling [On Hold]

10. Baby Pictures

He found all of the baby pics of me. Some I never knew existed.

"Calm down miss. Its okay." A female cop said, out of anyone she should understand why I'm afraid. I was shaking. Crying. This man has pictures of me from before I moved to America.

"How can she calm down!? Its not a switch she can just turn on and off. She's being stalked and tormented and like her father said if no one does something about it we will!" Charlie said, I have never seen him this angry. Not even when he and Trevor fight and they practically hate each other.

"Sir please. We're trying. We need to wait and se-"

"Wait for what? Until something bad happens? I'm not letting no one hurt my girlfriend so I might kill the man and if I do don't you dare come looking for me then. Because y'all sure as hell didn't care before." Charlie said carefully grabbing me and our phones and left the station, the cop stood up.

"Excuse me sir. Is that a threat?" The cop pushed. Shut the hell up already bitch.

"You'd love that. Wouldn't you?" Charlie spat back putting me in the car next to Olivia and Ally. They sat on either side of me and cuddled me to calm me down. I can't believe this. They didn't give a shit. Not one. I can't live like this. I knew something bad was gonna happen if I let myself fall in love like this. And Charlie. Omg Charlie. He's not just the man of my dreams. But an angel. A saint. I thank my lucky stars and serendipity for him.
But this is a fairlytail. The happy, joy part of my dreams that unfortunately can't last.

After dropping Ally and Olivia off Trevor and Charlie stayed with me. Ally and Olivia wanted to stay but we all have school tomorrow and I refuse for them to suffer through my horrible life.

"You're my best friend. If you cry, suffer and bleed so do I." Olivia told me, I couldn't care it. I can't have her go through this too. Let me suffer alone. I would have Trevor and Charlie go home but I knew they would not listen to me and force themselves in my house anyway. Which you know I felt safe with just Charlie here but I could use the extra pair of muscles.

"Asleep yet?" Charlie whispered, I turned in my bed and he walked in my room and smiled sweetly at me. I smiled too. A real one. I felt perfectly safe with him.here.

"Sleep in here with me?" I begged, he smiled and nodded. Laying in his usual spot on his favorite pillow he wrapped his arms around me and laid his head on my shoulder. I placed my palm securely on his chest. I couldn't be sure but I think his heartbeat and mine match. Okay now I swear it. They were in sync.

"Cloée?" "Charlie?" We said at the same time, his cute kid like chuckle rang in my ears like bells.

"Our heartbeat matches." He said softly, his voice cracking a little. My eyes stung and I moved my hands and kept to myself. He sat up and turned on the lamp.

"What's wrong?" He said sincere, I sighed and held back a loud cry as I tried to open my mouth to talk.

"Ch-arlie." I said his name like I couldn't breathe. I really couldn't. Choked up liberally in thought. He pulled me into a tight hug.

"Shhh, baby. It's okay. I'm right here." He cooed, I covered my mouth. That dream. No nightmare. That's Charlie and I know. I can see it is. I love him more than life, there's no one I would do anything for but Charlie.

"Please tell me why you're upset. Please." He begged. I decided not to tell him before. I think I should tell him now. Now's the time.

"Look." I sighed sitting up, I turned to him.

"I've been having horrible nightmares. I started having them after my mum died. They came every night and then four times a month. Well ever since I moved here they have been worse. Every map I took, day dreaming. That's until I got closer to you. They turn good. Great." I smile at the last part, he smiles.

"What are they about?" He said rubbing my shoulders softly. I shiver at his touch.

"At first. I couldn't see the face I was fighting for. The face of the man that killed the one I love. I was so lost....I-I feel like that guy is you. I know it's you and that's why I'm upset. Because what if it is you? I can't lose you. I-I fucking can't Charlie." I cried hard, he hugged me tight rubbing my back. I had a feeling he'd find me weird. Creepy that I had a dream about him before we met.

"No matter what happens. I'm here. But I have been having the same dreams." He spoke, I gasped and moved back.

"Seriously?" I said, he nodded and looked down.

"She would always be facing the other way but we had a death grip on each other's hands. I felt even though I'm safe with you something was trying to tear us apart. Kill me and take you. I can't live without you Cloée. I just can't. But like you when you're near me they turn into great dreams. Then you turn around and smile at me. And that's when I know. Everything's alright." He says, I smile wide. I have never had a boy say anything this sweet to me before. I loved Charlie even more now. I was falling in love with his every word.

"I love you Charlie." I hug him, he kisses my head.

"Baby girl I love you more." He says, and I drift to sleep at that moment. Peaceful.
