The City Of Love

                               Charlie's P.O.V

  I gotta say, I was pretty nervous.  After seeing Psycho break down and cry...I just don't know what's happening anymore.  Ever since that day, I have been living in a daze...Just drifting...Not really going anywhere.  I don't remember anything after that day...But what I do remember is that Li refused to talk to me - or anyone else for that matter.  She kept to herself on her side of the room.  I was living in a sad haze until I heard her voice...

  "Charlie..." It was a hoarse whisper but it still had a pretty lilt to it.  "Charles...Wake up..."  She commanded.  I struggled to break out of my hazy cocoon. 

  "Hnngh-"  I gasped out intelligently.  Note the sarcasm. 

  I shook my head vigorously, trying to break the cocoon.

  "Charles!" She shouted, shaking my shoulders.  I'm coming!  I cried out silently.  All of a sudden, I felt someone slap both sides of my face.  It stung.  "I said...WAKE UP!" She slapped me again.  I felt a body weight on me.  It was as if those hands brushed away the cobwebs that had stuck to me.

  "Sorry..."  I whimpered.  "I...I just got...Kinda...Lost?" 

  "It's alright," her breath tickled my face, "that happened to me before.  Wait, can you see me?"  I squinted at the blob in front of me.  I clutched my head and closed my eyes, shaking my head.  Then I looked back up.  Soon, the blob become less blurry until I can make out Li's beautiful features.

  "Okay, I can see now," I told her.  Then I just realize the position we were in.  I was laid down in my bed and Li was on top of me, straddling my hips, bent over to look at me more closely.  I felt my face heat up.  Stop it!  I scolded myself as dirty thoughts ran through my head.  You've been in more sexual positions before and you kept a blank face, how is this making you blush?!  I knew why.  This is Li, not some regular slutty girl.  I sat up, but Li was still on me, just shifted further back when I sat up.  "Um...What's going on?"

  "Eh, [The] Black Souls found out about our location," Li shrugged.  "We need to leave."

  "Oh.  Uh, but I can't really go anywhere right now..." I tried.  Li looked confused but then realized.

  "Right," she got off me.  "Come on, I already have everything ready."  I followed her downstairs.  We got inside a limo and drove over to an airport.  Another plane was waiting for us.  Soon, we were up in the air and flying to who-knows-where.

  "Where are we going?"  I asked.

  "Paris, France," she replied.

  My jaw dropped open.  "Y-You mean, Paris the City of Love?!"

  "Yes, is there another Paris I don't know about?" Li replied, crossing her arms.

  "Um, maybe not," I said slowly.

  "Exactly, we're going to the City of Love," she said flatly.  Li going to the City of Love?  For heck's sake, she can't even feel emotions like love!  What the fuck?!  I sighed and stared out the window.

  I stared at the city. It was even more pretty then the pictures Li showed me on the plane.

  "Ooooh, pretty," I breathed on the window, fogging it up. 

  "Stop it, you're making me gag," Li pointed a finger in her mouth and pretended to gag.
