Unlikely Love

Charlie I'm sorry
Charlie, please, I forgive you
Please Charlie please please

I slammed on the door even though I was very aware of my three bffs and Lilly behind me.
This is just great
"CHARLIE!" I screamed "LET ME IN!"
"NO!" He screamed like a child
I tried to turn the door nob but, of course, it was locked
"Please." I said slamming one last knock and then giving up.
I grunted and leaned my forehead on the door. Then I turned and let my back slide down the door until I was sitting against it. I wrapped my arms around my legs and looked up to my friends.
An evil smirk grew on Jillian's face. She opened her mouth to speak and-
"Don't!" I groaned and her face melted into a frown. I squeezed my eyes shut and felt a small tear slide down my cheek.
I'm so stupid, I thought, what's wrong with me? How could I fall for an American bad-boy? I'm the definition of a British goodie two-shoes!
I didn't hear the turning of the door knob when I felt myself falling backward. I quickly opened my eyes and flailed my arms to stay up but failed and landed in a heap on my back. I looked up to see Charlie. His face mixed with confusion and shock. He stepped over me and held out his hand for me. I accepted and I got to my feet.
He blushed and rubbed the back of his neck.
"Sorry about... earlier." He nervously laughed
"It's ok." I nervously laughed back.
We stood there in awkward silence and my friends were just staring at us until a sudden knock at the door shocked us.
"I'll get it." Kareena said as she started walking down the stairs towards the front door.
When she opened it, I was surprised who stood there. It was the school tough guy and bully. Even though I never talked to him or encountered him, I hated him. He was so mean to EVERYONE!
"I was promised a fight with Charlie Horan. He live here?" The guy said, I sinister look on his face.
"I told you to call it off, Jackson!" Charlie said slightly nudging Kareena out of the way.
"Well I don't-" He stopped when he saw me. "Is that hottie your girlfriend, Horan?"
"No she-" Charlie was cut off by Jackson
"So she's free?" He smirked at me.
I internally barfed
"Hey!" Alayna stood in front of me protectively "Girls aren't things you can claim or buy!"
"You think I care?" He shoved Alayna out of the way. She hit the floor hard. Kareena and Jillian ran over to her, while Charlie was frozen from shock.
A hand clutched my chin and turned my head towards Jackson. I tried to pull back from him but he placed a hand on my back and pressed me against him.
"Let go of me!" I yelled at him but he only tightened his grip in me.
"Shh. Shh." He placed his other hand on my cheek. "No one likes a girl who speaks when not directed too!"
This sexist perv!, I thought
He placed the hand that was on my cheek back on my chin and tilted my head towards his. He leaned in and pressed his forehead against mine. He smiled.
"I love..." He started. "Your body."
He gripped the back of my head and made me kiss him. I tried to pull away when I felt my body jerk. His hands let go of me and I started coughing from the lack of air and his terrible stench. I turned to see Charlie kicking and kicking at the body of Jackson who was curled up in a ball but quickly got up and shoved Charlie to the ground. He glanced over to me and licked his lips. I flinched and took a step back.
But instead of walking towards me, he walked towards the door.
"I'll be back!" He yelled at pointed at us. "And next time I'm taking her with me!" He jerked his finger at me. I flinched again and felt like I was gonna barf.
Jackson stormed out the door and slammed it behind him.
Charlie looked at me. "Are you ok?!" He asked me and he scrambled to his feet. He walked over to me and gave me a hug. "I'm not gonna let be anywhere near you ever again! You hear me!"
"Ya!" I laughed nervously. "Because your screaming in my ear."
He laughed and pulled away. "Sorry!"
"Well that whole experience was..." Jillian started
"Unexpected." Lilly finished
"I was gonna say crazy but I like your answer better." Jillian replied.
I feel like crying but why?, I thought, if he comes back, my friends and Charlie will protect me!
