Mason's p . o . v

I pulled the car out of the drive way with Charlotte asleep at the back, she must have worn herself out today, as I drove I couldn't help but remember the way Mali's face was bruised. She was stupid for thinking she can hide it from me, she isn't good at lying but she's good at rolling those brown eyes of hers, I love looking at them especially when we got to kiss at the party.

*hunk* *hunk*
I was pulled out of my train of thoughts by a car behind me, I hadn't realized I was driving at a slow pace. I sped up keeping all thoughts of Malia out until I reached my house.

I packed at the drive way stepped down and carried char and her things into the house. I used my foot to close the door behind me and walked upstairs to place char on her bed. She looked so cute, I pulled the cover over her small form and kissed her forehead. I switched off the light, Char is just like Malia they don't like the light on when they sleep. I glanced once more at her and shut the door as I stepped onto the corridor.

I walked downstairs and headed to the kitchen, I am fucking hungry am sure I didn't eat anything and before I left the house , since I wasn't in the mood of making any long and stressful food, I settled on cornflakes and a lot of milk in it.... As I sat to eat my mind wandered off to Malia, she was walking funny but I didn't want to ask thinking maybe she's just tired from last night or something , I remember when I saw her dancing with that guy something stared up in me and I darted towards them.... The way she sounded when I sucked on her neck, it did something and that's why I had to pull away, God knows what I would have done to her on that dance floor.... The dimly lit room and loud music would have masked .... I shook my head

I looked at my cornflakes and it was soft already, this is what I get from thinking of such a beauty..... Today as I lay down with her on her bed all I did was stare at her, she looked too beautiful but that bruise kept made me  angry, all I wanted to do was find whoever that did it to her but I kept my cool. I missed the feeling of her body close to mine, my hands wrapped around her waist protectively.

Suddenly I heard the sound of vibration coming from my back pocket... I pulled it out and Tyler's name showed up. I answered and placed the phone on my ear using my shoulders to hold it in place, while I grabbed the bowl of cornflakes in the other hand and placed it in the sink.

"Hey buddy, how are you doing?"

I dumbed the contents of the cornflakes away "I'm okay, I need to ask you something"

"Go on"

"The guys and girls are going to watch a movie and so we wanted to know if you would like to come?"

Why would I want to go somewhere that I would be a third wheel to? I'm sure Malia isn't going because she wouldn't want any one to see her and the bruises.

"Yo bro, are you there?"

"I'm not going Ty , I got things to do... Sorry man" he started laughing

"Are you sure you and Malia didn't plan this his because she said the same thing to Ti" I felt the urge to roll my eyes but didn't.

"No we didn't, I'm going to cut the call now ..... Please enjoy your movie"

I hung up before he could say anything and put the phone in my pocket before washing the bowl.

*************************

*Three long agonizing hours later*

I had been playing  games on my phone for the last 2-3 hours yet I was so bored, I flicked through channels and yet nothing caught my eyes so I switched it off and decided to play piano, I got frustrated and stopped playing before I heard a scream coming from upstairs. It took time before my brain could register who it was. 'Char'

I bolted upstairs missing a step as I ran, I opened the door with a loud thud.
"What is it Char, are you okay?" I saw her little fingers point at the wall where a spider was. I sighed thank God it was only I spider, I thought she had a bad dream.

I killed the spider and walked to her bedside "are you alright now?" She nodded and I lifted her off the bed "How about I take you out for pizza and ice-cream" she squealed in my ears which made me wince a little.

"Sorry Mace" I smiled.

I went downstairs, grabbed the key and mg phone then went outside. The sky was already getting dark and the night air cold.... "Char, go and put on your cardigan OK" she nodded and ran into the house. I started the engine and turned on the heater, sat down and buckled Charlotte in.

Then we drove out of the drive way to the pizza place.

On arrival at the pizza place, I saw Keith stepping out the door with two boxes on his palm. I didn't even know Charlotte had run out until I saw her jump on his body, he lost stance for a while but the boxes were okay. I saw him smile at her , I locked the door and casually walked up to where they were.

I hugged him and we talked for a while before he left, he was on night duty like always. "Alright Char, let's go get ourselves some pizza" I rubbed my hands together and licked my lips it made her giggle. I opened the door and the place was packed with people.

We joined the queue and finally after hours of standing , it was my turn to order , I ordered the pizza pepperoni because my little sister likes it a lot then we left and waited for our order to be announced.

I noticed some girls staring at me and giggling but I didn't care. I am used to getting attention a lot from them, if Malia was here she would have made a silly remark, I couldn't help but smile. Finally my name was called and I picked my order up taking Char's hand as we left to go buy ice-cream .

Their was an ice-cream shop down the road, so I drove us there and we bought our ice-cream and ate it on the trunk of my car looking at the stars. Once we were done, Charlotte thanked me, then I threw the waste in a near by garbage can .

We drove back home and I carried her upstairs, this kid could sleep..... Well she has to I guess her weekend of fun is over and mine also. Once I entered Char's room I stood her on her feet and shook her a little, she opened her eyes.

"You have to shower okay and don't forget to brush your teeth" she nodded and went to the bathroom. "Goodnight sweetie" I called after her retreating form "goodnight bro" she answered. "Wait aren't you forgetting something ??" she was meant to hug me then peck me good night.

I heard her laugh "No, I am not" I sighed then she came out and hugged me, pecking my cheeks she whisper-yelled.  "Night bro, now shu away" I smiled and pecked her temple, leaving her to shower before bed. I went into mine and did the same thing.

Tomorrow is the beginning of another school week, which means more stress, assignment and work to do at the diner. I had to make this sleep count.
