Charlie's P.O.V
"BECAUSE IM TIERD OF YOU ALWAYS STAYING OUT LATE AND ME BEING THE ONLY ONE TO TAKE CARE OF CHARLIE AND ELI DERIK!!" i flinch as my mom yells at my dad.. i don't like it when they fight.. usually dad goes to stay the night with his brother Brian, and mom stays here to watch me and Eli. I get taken out of my thoughts with a text. *great.* i huff and check my phone.
My eyes widen
New text from- James❤
Hey, i was wondering if we're still on for tomorrow night? My mom doesn't care so i figured I'd text you and ask..
I immediately text him back
Let me ask... actually... call me real fast.. i need to talk to you.
He replies a couple minutes later
Ok? Are you okay? Should I be worried?
I begin to type but get interrupted by a familiar voice coming up the stairs. "CHARLIE TRUMAN GET YOUR SORRY ASS DOWN HERE RIGHT NOW!" My dad comes in my room and grabs me by the arm. I flinch and remember that every time he and my mom fight he brings me in and makes fun of me. "Tell your mother that its your fault that we don't get along because you always have something wrong!" He hold my arm tighter. I look at my mom and plead with my eyes to make him let me go. She grabs me and holds me, but my dad still has my wrist. He squeezes it as tight as he can and pulls me back. I fall behind him and start to tear up. My phone falls and i look at it and see James is on the phone. " I must have clicked answer when he called " I quickly hang up and get up. I grab my phone and sadly tell my mom. "Its all my fault. I'm a complete mess up." I feel a tear fall. My dad pushes me and i stumble into a wall. "Go upstairs now. Ill handle it from here." He says with a stern voice. "Yes sir." I put my head down and run upstairs to my room. I close the door and slide down. I cry out in pain and fear. I hate it when this happens. I feel my phone vibrate. James is calling me again. I dry my tears and answer it.
Hello?
Charlie! Are you okay!?
Yeah.. I'm fine.
He hears my voice Crack
Can I come over?
Yeah.. please?
I start to tear up again
Ill be over in 2 seconds.
Come in through my window.. please..
Okay. I will.
With that, the line went blank. I put my head on my knees. This isn't the worst fight they've had that i got hurt in.. but it had the most violence towards me. Suddenly i hear a know on my window. I get up and go open it.
"Charlie." He crawls in and grasps me into a hug. I let out my tears and hug him back. He picks me up and takes me to my bed. We sit there as i cry my hardest on him and he rocks me back and forth to try to calm me down. He moves my hair out of my face and kisses my forehead. "Its okay." He whispers to me. I calm down and look at him. "I'm sorry you have to see me like this James, i know not every guy can handle stuff like this but they fight almost every night and i cant take it anymore.. they bring me into it an-" i get interrupted as he kisses me. We kiss for what seems like forever then let go to catch our breath. He smiles and brushed the hair out of my face and behind my ear. "Honestly, every guy wants to be there for the girl of their dreams. Every guy wants to be the only one a girl can talk to, and even cry to." He looks at me in the eyes. "I love you Charlie." I feel my face burn as he whispers those three words. "I love you too." I get up to go freshen up. I look in the mirror in the bathroom and sigh. I clean my face and take my makeup off. "Its running anyways, why keep it on?" I smirk at my face and scrub my face. I look up to see James starring at me in the doorway. "Can i help you?" I smile. "Nope." He winks at me and leans against the door. I wash my hands and but my hair in a ponytail. I turn around and push him out. "Hey!" He playfully wines. "I gotta change." I close the door and put my real dads big shirt on and my SpongeBob pants. I grab my fuzzy SpongeBob socks and open the door. I look over to my bed and see a sleepy James. I laugh and go over to him. "So are you staying here tonight? Or do i need to say goodbye?" He looks over at me. "I'm not letting you go to sleep alone tonight babe." I smile. "Well at least get under the blanket." He gets up and takes his shirt off. He lays back in bed and pulls me towards him. I let him put his arm across me and I put my arm on his. He falls asleep before me. I keep my eyes open and think about tonight. Sometimes when they fight.. I'm only here for myself. Sometimes I have to keep myself from doing something that i would regret. I let myself fall asleep to the sound of James' light snores. The perfect way to end a horrible night.
