on the loose.

Since that day, I spent almost every moment, of my still left childhood, at the neighbour's house. Nobody knew what really happened with my dog that night and Charlie, he treated me like a princess and introduced me to a world full of dark desire, never getting tired of me. We were one soul accidentally separated into two bodys that found eachother again. He turned into a beautiful breath taking boy with hair darker than the feathers of a raven.

"What are you thinking about princess?" I loved it when he called me by my nickname. My hands travelled from his bare chest up to his left cheek, caressing it.

"Us." I replied, still a little bit sleepy from just waking up. His eyes found mine, my heart stopped. It never failed to amaze me how he still had that affect on me, everytime I saw him or even smelled him. I didn't have many friends and I didn't need them, the only one I needed was him, who knew all my secrets and darkest fantasies and never judged me for them.

I looked back at him, starting to lean in, craving for his touch, to feel his skin against mine. We kissed and suddenly I felt like oxygen was overrated, we kissed until my head started to spin and a sharp pain forced me to pull away, due to the loss of air.

"Come on, schools starting soon and you don't want to be late again, do you?" He whispered still inches apart from me before he pulled away and got up.

"I rather stay her and enjoy the view" I admitted and didn't bother to hide my obvious stare toward his body. A chuckle escaped his mouth and I smiled proudly knowing it was me who made him let out that sweet sound that was the death of me.

"I know Elle but I for once actually care about your education and since you don't, it seems like I have to force you to get up" I groaned, stretching a little bit, preparing myself for the cold outside of the bed. We were currently in my room where he climbed through the window the other night, wanting to see me. I can't complain though, i love him.

"I don't want your grades to drop just because of me, I know how much you wanna go to college" Charlie always knew what to say and when to say it, that charm often got him and me out of a lot of trouble, which i am very thankful for although i sometimes wish that only I would have the privilege of witnessing that charm.

30 minutes and a rough make out session after, I was ready to face all the hell that was high school. My oversized sweater covered half of my body and the mom jeans that I wore did nothing good in showing it off, which I had absolutely no problem with because my body was only meant for one person to see.

"Is your mom up or do I have to climb down the tree?" Charlie asked with his adorable morning voice, he stood before the window, sun light flooding through making his eyes glisten, adorning his body were a casual white shirt and black jeans which made me wonder how he could still manage to look like a god after just waking up?

"She went to work early but you know she has no problem with you staying the night" my mom adored Charlie, maybe because he is the perfect gentleman or because he asked her for her permission before asking me out but my mom loved him like a son.

"Yeah I know, but it's more fun like that"

I often wondered why people were constantly staring at us, until the comments started to flow in. Words like 'weird' and 'strange' became a normality for Charlie and me but it never really bothered us, we were happy enduring the words of bullies as long as we could endure them together. And that's exactly the behaviour that got us the label 'creepy couple', people didn't understand the connection we shared and the things they don't understand make them angry and mean. Of course there were times when I let the words through to me, but never in a way that let me question our relationship because if there's one thing I can always be sure of, it's the love Charlie feels for me, a love which some might find too consuming.

The small town we were living in  had only one proper high school, which building looked as old as the town itself, with ivy covering most of the brick wall and the gray entrance door, some might find our school to look a little bit eerie but different than the rest of our classmates I felt like i was a part of that feeling.

Of course i still hated school but it was more for its mean teachers, even meaner teenagers and especially for the periods I had to spend alone, without Charlie there to magically make me smile with his silly little doodles he would make of everyone, than because of the building.

"You know you have to walk a little bit faster to reach your chemistry class in time" he said to me in the husky voice of his.

"You know you're going to be late for almost all of your classes if you continue to  walk me to every single one mine, so if it doesn't bother you why should it bother me?" I replied with a smile, the halls were already emptied of students which allowed to me lightly run my hands on each one of their lockers.

"So witty today my princess. What put you in such a good mood?" he laughed. Charlie had one of the biggest and earnest smiles I've ever seen, he made my heart lit up with fire just by moving his lips even when they weren't even on me.

"I don't know but I feel like today is going to be special"
