You Were Mine From The Start (boyxboy)

Calm Before The Storm

Charlie's POV

Mike and I take off running, leaving my locker behind. I'm not sure where he's taking me but the pure euphoria in my heart makes me not care in the slightest. His hand holding mine sends electricity all throughout my body, while I'm hoping that he never lets me go. That same hand leading me through the hallway and into... the lobby?

We maneuver our way through the crowd until we spot Alex and Taylor talking in the same spot they were in earlier. Mike leads me over to them. What is he trying to do?

When we get to them, both of them seem to be staring at us. More specifically, our hands. And, probably the big dopey smile on my face. 

"Hey guys, what's up?" Alex asks eyeing me and Mike. 

"Nothing much, but I did want to ask you guys something," Mike says. Taylor and Alex both seem to grow curious. Is he going to do what I think he's going to do? 

"So are you two okay with Charlie and I dating?" he asks trying to be nonchalant, but I can hear the adorable excitement and slight nervousness in his voice. 

Their reactions are making me nervous. I'm sure they'll be fine with it, and Alex will react normally. But Taylor's reaction is a wildcard. It can be anything from high pitched squealing, from protective big sister to smacking Mike in the face. Or all three. 

Fortunately for me (and Mike), both of their faces light up. 

"Of course it is! I'm so happy for you two!" Alex says cheerily. I look at Taylor before she says anything, mentally begging her not to mess things up. 

"So am I. You two are such a cute couple," Taylor says desperately trying to hold in her excitement. I don't know how but Taylor and I can always read each other's expressions and without having to say a word, we know exactly what the other is trying to say. I mouth a "thank you" to her. She nods her head but then turns to Mike with a devious expression on her face.

"So tell me how you asked him! I want to hear all about it!" she says walking over to him and grabbing his arm, then pulling him off to the side. Mike's eyes widen and then gives me a look that can only be read as a terrified "help me" before being pulled off. I sigh, I knew it was coming. 

Taylor is going to give him the "If you hurt him, I will kill you speech." I guess it was the big-sister- Taylor, huh. I wonder how Bella would've reacted to this. If only she were here...

"Dude! Tell me how it happened!" Alex says. 

"Okay! So, basically, we met at my locker and we were talking for a little bit and then he just asked if I wanted to be his boyfriend! So obviously I said yes and then he dragged me over here." I said joyfully.

"That's great! You two look so great together," he replied almost matching my level of excitement. 

"Thanks! I still can't believe this is really happening."

Before Alex can respond, Taylor and Mike walk back over to us. Taylor looking satisfied while Mike looks deeply terrified.

"Taylor! What did you say to him?" I ask her suspiciously.

"Nothing that he didn't need to hear," she says nonchalantly while eyeing Mike.

I can feel Mike tense up by Taylor's gaze. He steps a little bit behind me, trying to distance himself from her. Luckily Alex notices and comes to the rescue.

He says, "Well, I guess we should leave you guys to talk. Come on Taylor."

Before waiting for an answer, he grabs Taylor's arm and walks away with her.
