6 Months to Love

Chapter 5

Peter froze, did he just call her Charlie?

"Charlie,...thats my name isn't it?" She asked him her eyes wide and full of fear as she looked at him.

Peter mentally cursed and looked at her, his eyes the only indicator of his panic. By telling her her name, he could have given her false memories.

"I...It hurts....I..." she stammered holding her head in her hands. Oh no, Peter had ruined her...

"Charlie, baby are you ok?" Peter asked walking over to her slowly.

"No don't touch me!" She snapped at Peter stumbling out from under the bleachers running into trash cans and looking as if she would fall flat on her face.

"Please, just let me help you" Peter called running after her.

"No! You've done enough! You...You killed my family, you killed Bae and Kilian" She cried her eyes scanning Peter in fear.

"No, no Charlie I didn't" Peter said trying not to yell at her.

"Yes you did I watched you! You tied me to your stupid thinking tree and made me watch!" She shouted facing him with tears in her eyes. She turned back around, shaking and started to walk away.

"Damnit! Charlote Mary Charming why won't you just listen to me!" Peter shouted in anger grabbing Her arm and forcing her to face him. Her eyes looked at him in fear and panic. It pained him to see her like that, especially after what happened in the Enchanted Forest.

"You killed everyone I ever loved, you tricked me, you stole my heart, you pretended to love me, you used me for your own selfish reasons" She snapped at him.

"So you remember that but nothing else, how convient" Peter mumbled quietly.

"I remember how you ruined my life! And now i'm trapped here, and it's all because of you and your stupid curse!" She shouted angrily. She raised her hand to slap him but he caught her wrist before she could. She gasped out in suprise as he looked at her.

"I'm sorry, look, just about everything you are remembering right now, isn't real." Peter whispered keeping her wrist in his hand.

"No...It can't be..." She whispered back taking her wrist back. She stormed away, her blond hair flowing in the wind, Peter watched as she walked and he could have sworn, he saw a lock of her hair turn pitch black.

Charlie's POV

I could feel my heart pouding in my chest. My hands were twitching, glowing a bright white and magic was spurting out. I rubbed my hands trying to distract myself.

"Hey Anna, are you alright?"

I turned back around and saw Finn. I gave him a nervous smile and started rubbing my hands faster together.

"Anna? What's wrong with your hands?" Finn asked.

"What do you mean? N...nothing is wrong I um"

Before I could say anything else Finn grabbed my wrists and turned my hands over, palm up. They were twitching and glowing white, a couple sparks snapping like electricy flying out.

"Whats wrong with your hands?" Finn whispered looking at my hands curiously.

"Uh I...Um...Panice attack...nerves....something" I mumble my hands beginning to shake even more.

Finn held both my hands up and slowly placed his hands into mine, interlocking our fingers together. My hands emitted a bright flash once they were clasped together. My hands still twiched a little, but it wasn't as bad.

"Thanks" I whispered shakily.

"No problem, now come on, the Glee Club is waiting for us" Finn said with an easy smile letting go of my left hand but keeping a firm hold on my right as he led me to the choir room.

My mind wandered as I sat in the choir room. Time just drifted as I was left to my thoughts. Peter killing Bae and Hook replaying over and over in my head. It didn't seem right but...it was all I knew.

"Anna, you with us?"

I looked up and saw the entirety of the Glee Club staring at me. It hurt too much, I couldn't be here.

"I...I have to go" I mumbled and ran out of the choir room. Tears were in my eyes as I ran down the halls. I turned the corner and hit something.

I blinked away my tears and looked up at him. Peter. The evil monster who killed everyone I ever loved.

"Charlie whats wrong? Are you hurt?" He asked his hands on my upper arms looking at me concerned.

"Let me go, please just, leave me alone" I begged quietly tears in my eyes, having no more energy left to fight.

"Not until you tell me what happened, was it that idoit football player? I swear I'll kill him if he did anything to you" Peter growled rubbing my arms up and down, gently.

"Why did you do it? Why did you kill Bae, and Kilian?...and forced me to watch?" I asked looking at him pain and hurt in my eyes.

"I didn't...those are false memories sweetheart, did I do terrible things to you and your family in the past? Yes but I never killed anyone. I swear to you" He said looking into my eyes and then pulling me to his chest, holding me tightly.

"I don't know what's real, what to believe anymore, I can't sleep, I can't think. It hurts to breathe Peter" I whimper, crying into his chest.

"I know, I know it hurts right now, but everything will be better soon, I promise." He whispers placing a kiss on my forehead and places his chin on top of my head.

"What do I have to do to remember?" I whisper crying harder into his chest.

"I don't know, I don't know" he whispered holding me tighter and rocking me.

The bell rang signaling the end of the day.

"Don't go" Peter whispered not letting go.

"I...I have to, I'm sorry" I whisper pulling away and wiping my eyes, trying to get rid of my tears.

"No you don't, you could come with me. We could just go, and be" He says tucking a stray piece of hair behind my ear, and wiping away a stray tear with the pad of his thumb.

"I can't Peter, we don't have anywhere to go, I can't remember where home is, I can't remember how to work my magic, I can't just leave" I mumble crossing my arms over my chest.

"We can't stay here forever Charlie, we don't belong in this world and you know that" He whispered looking around to make sure no one could hear.

"I know, but I think our best bet, is getting to New York with the Glee Club, if they win regionals or whatever there thing is, they get to go to New York City, me and Bae were there, maybe somethings there that could help us." I mumble.

"Alright, fine. I'll join your silly Glee Club, we'll get to New York and then we'll figure it out. Ok?"

I nodded in agreement and turned to walk back, back to Finn, back to the fake reality I had made for myself. The fake reality I was was true.
