Charlie's POV

It was freezing cold.Raphael seemed unfazed by the whether,while I was shivering with a jacket on."Charlie you seem cold,come on let's get.out of here"said Raphael.I nodded in agreement as we started walking."should we go to your house?"said Raphael.I shook my head"no.I don't think it's best for me to stay away for some time for....reasons"I replied.truthfully if I went home at this time of night,father might either not care or wack me with a beer bottle."Then I guess we're going to my place"said Raphael as he then grabbed my hand and pulled me with him.

I had no idea where we were going.after the change in my father I've had a hard time trusting anybody.now to me they all looked as if they could become a demon in seconds.there was only one person I trusted.urbain.I've had a crush on him for two years now,but I can't find the courage to tell him in risk of losing our friendship.

I haven't told anybody about my father's abuse.And I'm not planning too.If anybody,anyone found out,I can't even imagine what my father would do to me.I don't trust anybody enough to tell them in risk of them spreading the word.but Raphael has a comforting effect.It feels like he can make anybody smile.

I was so deep in thought that I didn't notice the car speeding in my direction."CHARLIE LOOK OUT" yelled Raphael.I turned around to see a very familiar car,but i coudlnt tell why.I froze in fear while the car kept coming my way.Suddenly,Raphael ran towards me and tackled me out of the way.we just barley got missed by the car.

I was on the ground in a very akward position with Raphael.he was laid on top of me just inches away from my face.we both quickly got up and looked away in the opposite direction.my face felt hot,and his face was as red as his hair was.I think he was about to say something to me,buy then came worst possible case scenario.

"CHARLOTTE" I headed a drunken voice yell.no....not now."RUN!!"I yelled as me and Raphael took off running through the streets of Paris.we,however could not outrun a car."come on follow me"said Raphael"I know a place to hide."seeing no other option I followed him.

We then ran to a left and I saw what seemed to be a shop in the alley.Raphael and me entered the alley and hid under what seemed to be the world's most beautiful and complicated piano organ.The car stopped in front of the alley,and my deadbeat dad wazlked out.he looked terrible,and held a bottle of whisky in hand.me and Raphael froze and came to a complete stop.

He looked around the alley a few times,each time getting closer and closer to our hiding spot.when he was just about to find us,he suddenly turned around and got inside the car and drove off.I would say this was the scariest thing that happened that night,but the scariest thing happened an hour ago."He's gone,and were not to far from my house "said Raphael.he got up and put his hand down to to help me up.we than continued the walk to Raphael's house.

We soon reached an apartment complex.we walked inside and Raphael led me to his room.ift was simple,yet looked amazing at the same time .that's what happens when you barely have a house to live in." You looked pretty tired Charlie.mabye we should go to sleep"said Raphael.I was indeed very tired.but I was worried about one thing "you mean...in the same bed?" When I said that he simply flashed me a warm smile."no silly.you take the bed and I'll sleep on the ground."

Without any hesitation I quickly leaped to the bed. Today was very eventful but...I wouldn't have it any other way.
