Please Don't Leave Me(Editing)

For The Love Of A Daughter

**Charlie's Pov**

I walk over to Blake's house. He invited me over to hang out. I'm kinda hoping he'll ask me out today, but I don't think he will. Guys say that girls are confusing but really it's boys that are confusing. Anyway, I walk up to the door and ring the doorbell. Martha opens the door and gives me a tight hug. This is why I love Blake's mom. She always hugs me when she sees me. Sometimes it seems like she sees me as her own daughter. She always talks about the boys to me and acts like I'm part of their family. It's really nice.

"How are you, sweetie?" She asks as she pulls away and gives me a smile. I always feel like I have to smile when Martha smiles. I don't know. It's like her smile is contagious. 

"I'm good. Blake invited me over." I smile at her. There's a twinkle in her eyes, and her smile grows. 

"Oh really." She smirks. "Well he's downstairs in the basement. Go on down."

"Thank you." I smile and race down to the basement. Blake is sitting on the couch playing Xbox. I sneak up behind the couch.

"BOO!" I scream.

"Holy crap!" He yells and jumps off the couch. I burst out laughing and fall onto the ground. He looks down at me and smiles. "Well is this my little scarer." He smirks and walks over to me with an evil look in his eye. I get up off the ground and run away, but Blake grabs me around the waist, picks me up, and throws me over his shoulder.

"Blake, put me down." I yell as I hit him on the back. I feel the vibration of his laughter and groan. He isn't gunna put me down. Spoke too soon, He throws me onto the couch and stands over me smirking. 

"Don't hurt me." I say and bring my knees up to my chest, so I'm in a ball. His expression changes, and he kneels down so he's eye level with me. 

"I will never hurt you, Charlie." He says and carresses my face. I look at him and smile. 

"I know." I whisper and kiss his cheek. "So why am I here?" I pep up. He laughs and shakes his head.

"Can't I just hang out with my best friend?" He smiles. I feel like my heart just shattered. He said best friend. We're never gunna be more than that. "Char, you okay?" Blake asks concered. I guess I gave away in my facial expression that something's wrong. 

"Yeah." I smile. "Everything's fine." I gotta change the conversation, so he can press on." So what are we gunna do?" I smile. He gives me a small smile and looks back to the area where the band practices. "Come here." He smiles, grabs my hand, and leads me over to the mic. "I want you to sing." He smiles. He wants me to sing?! I can't sing. I mean I've sang before, but it's horrible. 

"Why?" I ask. When did he ever hear me sing? That's what I wanna know.

"Remember when Aiden got beat up at school by Jake, Taylor, and Austin?" He asks. I nod slowly. "You were in the nurse room with Aiden singing Bewitched." He smiles. I slowly start remembering that day. "It was the most beautiful thing I've ever heard." He blushes slightly. "Please sing for me?" He smiles. I look at him then the mic then back to him. 

"What song?" I ask.

"Whatever song you wanna sing." He smiles. I nod, sit at the keyboard, and start playing the keys.

"Four years old with my back to the door

All I could hear was the family war

Your selfish hands always expecting more

Am I your child or just a charity award?

You have a hollowed out heart

But it's heavy in your chest
