Shield

Oli's P.O.V

It took everything in me not to cry. How could I have been so stupid! I've let her back into my heart so quickly without even thinking about what's really happening. She's not real, she's dead, nothing more than a gravestone. Why do I still care? I have people who care about me, yet I chose her. I can't focus on her right now. I see Callum rush into the room, but he stops. He is followed by the rest of the gang who does the same. 

Callum: Oh my god Oli. What the heck did she do to you! 

Perry: What can we do to her is the real question.

I don't know how to respond, but I should say something. I try and grasp for words, but all I can do is cry. I cry until one by one their arms wrap around me, shielding me from this harsh setting. Shielding me from my reality. I can tell that they are avoiding the parts of me that are hurt. I can tell that they know I'm fragile. They want to protect me, and all I wish is that they didn't have to. Now, everyday is gonna be an endless battle just to keep me. I should be dead. I should be with her, and they should never have had to deal with me. To deal with what she made of me. But they did, and now I have to be strong for the ones who were strong for me. I have to show them that since I'm still here, I'm going to stay for as long as time allows. As they pulled away, I wiped away my tears and smiled.

Oli: Eh, she's going to hell anyway so we really don't have to worry for much longer.

Lizzie: Yep, he's back. Good to see you buddy!

Oli: So what have I missed?

Perry: Well I guess you've missed enough. We really don't have to bring it up because all of us are about to go on the adventure of a life time.

I somehow knew what he meant. As all the others stared at each other completely confuse, I looked at him in the eyes and nodded. This devil was going down, and we were going to stop her. No matter how long it would take us. And, as I looked into my Charlotte's eyes, I knew that she'd be right besides us, the whole way there.
