CHAPTER 24

CHARLOTTES POV

"It all started a few months ago, in July" I began. Brooke's face was buried in Nash's shoulder. I took a deep breath.

"Um if you didn't already know, Brooke used to go out to parties. Like clubs and stuff. A lot" I added. Nash nodded his head and kissed Brooke's forehead.
"So one day me and one of my best friends Jenny we were having a sleepover, and so was Brooke and her best friend Taylor. They were going out that night, into the city because we didn't live in the city, and barely got to go" I said, remembering how much I missed Jenny.

"So you know of course Jenny and I wanted to go into the city with them to like shop and stuff. So we snuck in Brooke's car and she drove out to the city with us in the trunk, secretly. We then realized all the shops we wanted to go to were closed, so we went into the club to find Brooke so she could call us a car" I said feeling tears forming.
"We had to sneak in through the bathroom, because you needed to be over 21. So we snuck in" I said fiddling with my fingers.

"Some guy was in the bathroom smoking cigarettes. He gave us one, and we took it. But we didn't smoke or anything we kinda just ran around with it in our hands" I said my lip beginning to tremble.

"And then some guy with drugs in his hand asked us to pour it in people drinks but we didn't know they were drugs we thought it was like water or something to make their drink taste funny" I said now sobbing at this point. Brooke grabbed my hand and squeezed it. I took a big gulp and moved on.
"So we dropped the cigarettes and went around with it and poured it in people's drinks and-and Brooke was doing the same thing" I said stated to cry now.

"So we heard the fire alarm and we ran out all the way down to the other side of the upper east side, and stayed in the city for the night and in the morning we got the story of what happened" I said crying really hard.

"And what happened?" Nash asked.

"T-the place burnt down and 3 people were injured by the fire. and 4 people had to get their s-stomachs pumped" I cried. I was shaking my head trying to get the images out of my mind.
"And one of 3 people survived the fire and 2 out of four survived the drugs" I said crying into my hands. Brooke was now crying Harder than I was.

"And in the newspaper it said the fire was started by cigarettes, and some people say they-they saw two kids running around pouring stuff into people's drinks" I said now beginning to shake. "And they got pictures but me and Brooke went in and took them out of the camera system" I said now sobbing.

Hayes pulled me closer to his chest and let me cry into him. He rocked me back and forth until I began to calm down a little. I pulled away and looked right into his eyes.

"P-please don't tell anyone" I begged, tears coming down again. He nodded his head and pulled me back into a hug. We sat there for a little, he let me cry, and Nash was comforting Brooke who was crying ten times harder than me.

We eventually got into a position where I was laying down, and so was he. His head was rested on mine, and I just cried into his chest. "Babe your going to be exhausted tomorrow if we don't fall asleep now" Hayes said facing me.
"Ok but promise me one thing" I asked.
"Anything" he said and squeezed my hand tightly.
"Never tell" I whispered. He kissed my lips softly. "I promise" he whispered.

And with that we were asleep.
