Finally Safe

Chapter 16

JASES POV

Its been a few weeks since I have spoken to Dave. I'm hoping that's a good sign that he has gotten a lot of information.

As I'm about to leave the house to head over to Charlottes, my phone starts ringing. Caller ID says it's him so I answer.

"What's going on Dave, its taken longer than usually." I pace around my living room.

"Dam boy there's just so much info on her, but I haven't been able to get my hands on some of it, that's how confidential it is."

"Huh, so do you have anything for me?"

"Well, let's see. Her birth records show she was born in California, only a mothers name is on the birth certificate, and the other usual stuff. I also got school records and dam let me tell you she is smart. She had a 4.0 GPA all throughout high school, was valedictorian, and had gotten several scholarships including; academic, sport, financial help. Social life, um she doesn't have any social media which I haven't found out the reason for yet. According to teachers and people who knew her said she was shy, she only had like two friends, she did go on a date with someone but I haven't found out his name or why it didn't work out. She was also constantly picked on in school and out of it, also they said she always seemed sort of fidgety and would startle easily. She has never been arrested, according to some reports they say her mom was a druggy, couldn't hold down a job, some people claim she was abusive to Charlotte but I haven't declared that yet. I'm working on getting police reports where Charlotte was the victim if there are any, hospital records, any doctors, that sort of thing."

It's a lot to take in. She never talks about family, her past, she also said she had never done anything, not dates, nothing.

I sigh, "Well, thanks for all that Dave, I appreciate it let me know when you get more."

We said goodbye and I hung up. Chris walked through the front door with tons of beer.

"Hey Fucktard, were having a blowout tonight. Hope you ain't doing anything tomorrow cause this place will be a fuckin mess!" He sets the beer down and drops to the couch.

"Sorry man I really don't feel like partying tonight."

"What the fuck! Since when do you not feel like partying?! You do know Morgan or some of the other girls you fuck will be around. You could get really lucky tonight."

I'm disgusted by this comment, I can't believe I've been such a prick for so long.

"Nah Dickhead I'm not in the mood for any of that. I'm just gonna go to the girls house and chill with Charlotte."

He sat straight up, eyes wide, mouth open, "Dude your still hanging around with her, I thought you'd be done by now?"

"No way man I really like Charlotte, and no it's not because she's a great fuck, we haven't yet. She's just different, I like being around her."

"... Your starting to sound like a pussy."

I start laughing, "Well now you know what it's like when you start talking about Lex!" I shove his shoulder and he punches me in the gut.

After we stop laughing he gets a little serious.

"I can't believe she's changing you I never thought that would happen."

"She's not changing me. I'm changing myself because I want to be with her." It's the most truthful statement I've ever made in my life.

With that, I walk out the door and head over to see my girl.
