Charlie's P.O.V

"Hi Will." I could feel the anger welling up in me. I was doing way better than he was! I was supporting myself (aswell as YouTube I have a job testing cameras for companies), I had friends, a girlfriend, I was responsible, had savings, didn't drink smoke or take drugs! But this brother of mine, HE was still living at home. HE was constantly borrowing money. HE didn't have a job. I'd told Hattie all about him, and how he still thought he was better than me. She thought it was jealousy but it was something else too. It was arrogance.

A long pause settled into an uncomfortable silence, cloaking the room. All of us wanted to say something but the silent fear that any word spoken might cause an explosion by somebody or other stopped us. In the in end mum saved us.

"Now then, who would like a nice mug of tea?"

Lindsay's P.O.V

I went back into the living room with the mugs of tea and I swear it was the death glare wars! I handed everybody their tea. Hattie and Charlie said thank but Will didn't. I should really put more pressure on him to get a job, but, honestly, he scares me. That sounds silly, I shouldn't be scared of my son, but it's so hard. He's not at all like Charlie, he has so many bad habits. But he's too old for me to play mother and sort him out now. Maybe I should of been firmer when he was younger.

"So you two," I addressed Charlie and Hattie, "what are you going to do for two days?" Charlie glanced over to Hattie and then replied:

" I thought I might give Hattie a tour of Bath tomorrow and see all the different places. Then she can pick one to go to the day after. Is that ok?" He turned to her.

"Yeah! That sounds brilliant!" She said enthusiastically. A huge smile spread over his face. They were perfect together, both only trying to please the other. Will smirked. Charlie turned angrily raising his eyebrows.

"What's so funny Will?" Uh oh.

"Nofin' , just laughing at your perception of a date."

"I don't get what's so funny about my 'perception' of a date."

"No good boyfriend-" Hattie stood up,

"Are there any museums in Bath?" She asked. Wow! That girl knows how to stop a fight! But the others stared a her in confusion.

"Um, yeah, there's the science museum but its ages since I've been." Charlie replied.

"I'd love to go there! Can we Charlie? PPPLLLLEEEEAAAASSSSEEEEE!!!!! I love museums!" Charlie flicked his hair out his eyes and nodded.

"Sure, it'd be fun to go round again!"

Will just scowled and went upstairs.

Hattie's P.O.V

What got on his nerves? Me stopping him and Charlie from killing each other? Well, Will certainly isn't ANYTHING like Charlie.

Tea at Charlie's house was fun, excepting Will's annoying comments and attempts to start fights. We had samon and boiled new potatoes and it was delicious! Over the meal Lindsay explained that Will had used to live with his dad, but when his dad moved to Austria for a year with work he moved into Charlie's old room. Will had refused to let us stay over in 'his' or Charlie's old room, and Bridie had offered to sleep downstairs while we had her room, but me and Charlie were ok with sleeping in the living room. The night passed quickly, as good times always do. They were all so nice and seemed to like and accept me, so I'm excited to get to know them all better, except maybe Will. He's just so... arrogant I suppose.

~ Next day ~

Charlie had taken me on a tour of Bath and at the moment we were sitting, eating Subway™ on a bench outside in the sunshine. I feel a hand slip in mine and turn to see a nervous looking Charlie. The poor lad thought I might not like him holding my hand! I squeezed his hand as a reply and a huge grin spread over his face.

We finished our lunch and Charlie turned to me and said:

"Hattie, I need to talk to you about something."

What? Had I done something wrong?

"I haven't had many girlfriends but some of the few I have had, have been... used by Will. He's stolen them, and it hurts because they agreed and went off with him. He wants you too, i can tell. I want you to be aware and to know that I understand so that if he does something to make you uncomfortable, we can leave."

"Charlie love," I replied shocked, "those girls who left you for him were crazy. But I'm glad they did. Because now I can have you, and I don't want anyone else."

1. Sorry this chapter is so short but I needed to upload.

2. I would like 10 votes before I upload the next chapter. I wouldn't normally ask for this as I think that anybody should be able to read my work without having to give me anything. BUT! I'm feeling like I've got a lot of reads and very few votes but nobody's posting on my MESSAGE BOARD to tell me how to improve! So vote if you like it or I might just give up.

LOVE YOU ALL!
