---------------CHARLIE ----------------

"Luke I'm fine really."

"No you're not."

"Just let me see her."

"Not until you tell me what happened."

"GOD DAMN IT LUKE CANT I JUST SEE MY FUCKING GIRLFRIEND WITHOUT HAVING TO EXPLAIN MYSELF AND MY STUPIDITY TO ANYONE?!" I screamed.

"What's going on?"

I turn around and see her standing there in her pjs looking as confused as ever.

"Hi babe it's nothing. your brothers just being annoying." I said making my way to her smiling.

She just looked at me.

"Luke what happened?" she asked him.

I whip around to face him.

"Don't."

"He did it again." He said looking at me as if I was some sort of broken toy.

"I'm calling your dad."

"NO!no please don't Del please I love you please don't call him. he already knows anyways."

He knows I'm a disappointment. he knows ok a screw up. he knows I should just die.

Suddenly there are a bunch of people in the room yelling and before I can even contemplate who these people are I scream.

I scream and scream and scream for the voices to just shut the fuck up.

I open my eyes and sure enough there's everyone.

Luke and Del obviously.

One direction.

My father.

Michael and some other chick.

And two boys I don't know the names of.

And they're all just staring at me.

"I'm fine." I say and sit on the bed.

"No you're not." says The girl standing beside Michael.

"Hey lay off." Says Luke.

"Don't talk to her like that." snaps Niall

And soon enough there's a fight going on about god knows what while everyone files out of the room.

Everyone except her.

"Hi Charlie." she says

"How do you know my name?I've never met you before"

"Yeah you have. I'm Kylee, Mr.bellosari's old assistant. you used to play with his daughter,Diana."

She knows him. she can contact him. he can contact her.

"Yeah how is she?" I ask trying to get her to spill some contact information.

"What do you mean?" she says with a concerned expression.

"I mean I want to know if she's okay.." I say calmly

"Charlie Diana's been dead for five years now." she whispered

No Diana isn't dead. she moved away with her dad. I'm sure of it.

"You're lying." I snapped.

"No I'm not Charlie you were there."

Suddenly it all came back.

How me and Diana had been at the lake for the whole day.

How she told me she could swim.

How I believed her.

How we took a canoe out to the middle of the lake.

How it flipped over last minute.

How I surfaced.

How she wasn't there.

How I pulled her out.

How she wouldn't wake up.

How the people on a close by boat called the ambulance.

How she was still breathing.

How they pushed on her chest hard and painfully.

How they took her.

How they wouldn't let me go with her.

How I couldn't say goodbye.

Just like in my nightmares.

"CHARLIE STOP IT!"

"LOOK AT US!"

"CHARLIE!"

"please, you're scaring me."

I looked at her.

Delilah looked terrified.

Everyone looked terrified.

My feet are cold.

I looked down.

Oh look I'm at the lake, how quaint.

"Bug, what happened?"

I turned back around and looked at the water.

"She's dead Harry." I laughed titling my head up to look at the stars.

"Who's dead Charlie?" said Liam slowly making his way towards me.

"Why Diana of course! who else would I be talking about?" I replied.

"What's he doing?"

"Why is he acting like this?"

"What's wrong with him?"

"Who's Diana?"

"Diana was a friend of mine who until about five minutes ago I had thought was alive. turns out she's not. And I was there to watch the life drown out of her." I said turning again to face them.

"Charlie we need to go home." Said my dad who was standing on my right while Liam was in my left.

Suddenly I was picked up and next thing I knew I was in my room.

How peculiar.
