chapter 3
Charlotte sat on her bed, watching Luke smoking again. He sat on the porch and all she needed was him to hold her.
She was having a panic attack, and needed to be hold by someone. She just wanted to open the front door and run into Luke's arms. But she couldn't.
Tears were rolling down her face and her whole body was shaking. She was about to scream Luke's name, to get him here. But that wouldn't help her, because he can't be with her in three seconds. First he would have to take a shower, brush his teeth and get clean clothes.
At some moments it felt like this relationship was worthless, but other moments it felt amazing. These two kids were just stuck in an impossible situation, but they managed to get through it and that gave them the power to move on. And above all; they loved each other more than anyone could imagine.
When Luke was done smoking, he walked up to the bedroom because he felt something was wrong. That's one of the many reasons why Charlotte loved Luke even more, he always knew when something was wrong or when she was having trouble with something.
The door to the bedroom was closed and he heard nothing, there was no sound coming from the room. That scared Luke, normally either the door would be open or he could hear Charlotte talking or listening music.
Luke gently pushed the door open and saw Charlotte sitting on the bed. Her legs against her chest and her arms wrapped around them. She was definitely crying, Luke could see it by the way her shoulders were shaking.
"Baby .." he quietly said.
Charlotte looked up and saw Luke leaning against the doorframe, his eyes worried. Without thinking she got up and ran to him, but Luke was quicker and took a step backwards.
"Luke, please I-" Charlotte started, but Luke interrupted her and said "I know, but you can't. I'm sorry .." Luke felt worthless, he couldn't comfort his girl and that broke his heart in a million more pieces.
"I don't care. Luke, I need you, please," she begged.
"I will take a shower as quick as I can, you can't come closer to me. It's for your own safety, I will be here in ten, okay?"
Charlotte sighed frustrated and more tears were rolling down her face. She knew it, she knew she couldn't be near him, but she had to. She felt like she would die if she couldn't feel his arms around her now.
"Let me take a shower with you, I need your touch. I can't .. I can't, I just can't." she spoke, breathless. Luke thought for a second, but it would be safe.
"Okay, c'mon. You walk in first, I'm gonna brush my teeth and then I come with you in the shower." he explained to her. This boy did absolutely anything for his girlfriend's well-being.
