Everyday It Will Rain

Ascella's POV
I was with mom, looking for things for prom. She seemed to be mad right now.
"Mom, You okay?"
"Yeah, Yes, I'm fine." She looked at me and smiled weakly, "Sorry, ever since I started therapy, I'm a bit upset I don't get to spend time with you and Zara a lot..."
"It's okay, I know you need it and Zara will understand." I smiled weakly.
"I still haven't told your father." She sighed, "He...he just won't understand. It worries me because after...after everything happened with you, he didn't help you get into therapy or something..."
I looked down at my lap, "I know, but he and Liv have helped a lot. So has the rest of the squad." She looked at me briefly before nodding. Something was gonna go wrong...I know it...

The next few days were quiet and awkward. This time, I was with Charlie and he brought me to Olly's suite.
"What are we doing here?" I smiled as he pulled me in. He shook his head, "Its a surprise, Ascella. Relax..."
I laughed and he stood me in Olly's room, "Close your eyes."
I furrowed my brows, but did so. There was ruffling coming from the closet.
"Okay, open."
I did so and gasped, seeing what he was holding.
"Oh my god..." I covered my mouth and hesitated to touch it.
"Go ahead, it's yours...Olly had it made before school started and said he was gonna give it to you for your one year anniversary, which was a week before prom..."
I laughed and looked at him, "This...this is ridiculous..."
"Isn't it beautiful?" He smiled.
"Yeah."
"Man, once you put it on, I'm gonna be the luckiest person at that damn Prom." He bit his lip. I nodded and admired the gift more.

Mom picked me up, in the worse mood ever. We arrived to the precinct and I followed her.
"Mom! Mom!"
Dad saw us and she started yelling at him, "You punched him?!"
Fin held me back, "Stop it!" I pleaded. Cragen told them to go elsewhere and I shook my head.
"Captain, I'm so sorry..."
"Breathe, Ascella, it's okay..." Liv caressed my hair. Amanda cupped my face, "You okay, Sug? You're so warm and red..."
"I'm fine. I'm okay..."
"Get her home, I'll tell Maria you took her."
Amanda and Liv walked me out and drove me home. I laid on the couch once I got home and started crying. Liv shushed me and caressed my hair.
"She should've just told him!" I sobbed.
"Told him what?"
"She's-shes going to therapy...she didn't want my dad to know..."
Liv sighed and kissed my head, "Will you be okay? We have to go."
"Yeah..." I murmured, feeling sleepy. I heard their footsteps, then the door opening and closing. My eyes then closed.

I woke up to music playing, which caused me to sit up. Charlie was in the kitchen with Zara, cooking and dancing. I laughed weakly and hoarsely, making Charlie turn. He smiled and kissed my cheek, caressing my hair.
"Good morning, Amaro."
"Did my mom come home?"
"No...Liv called me, told me what happened. I picked up Zara and Liv told your mom. She went to who knows where...I think therapy."
I started to cry again and Charlie hugged me tight.
"Ella..." he rubbed my back and shushed me gently.
"Um...is it supposed to turn black?" Zara called from the kitchen and Charlie rushed over,
"Noooooo!"
I looked to see the food in the pan burnt. Charlie groaned, "Let's just order some Chinese..."

After we ate, Charlie put Zara to bed. I sat alone on the couch, listening to music. Footsteps approached and a hand took mine, pulling me off the soft cushion. I looked up and Charlie smiled, pulling my close.
"I need some practice before I go to Prom with you..."
He wrapped my arms around his neck and placed his hands on my waist. We swayed gently and he pressed his forehead against mine. I closed my eyes and sighed, relishing this moment.

(A/N: I don't really like twilight, it never really interested me, but I love this song and i simp to it all the time)

I opened my eyes to Charlie's looking into them. This tension between us was getting too out of hand and we're horrible for acting on it. He leaned in, but I hesitated. I can't help it...maybe it's my unhealthy way of coping with losing Olly. I kissed him gently, walking to the couch. He sat and I got on his lap, still kissing him. He started to lift my shirt, gripping the skin of my torso. I threw my head back, giving him a chance to kiss my neck. The door started to unlock and we quickly fixed ourselves. I stood up against the counter. I turned to see Dad and looked away.
"Ascella-"
"Don't, dad...I can't talk about it right now..."
He went up to me and held me, "You shouldn't have been there...I shouldn't have yelled. I'm sorry, Bebe..."
I shook my head and pulled away from him. I could see years of hurt in his eyes when I did that. He went upstairs to change and I huffed. Charlie went to me, "Let's go somewhere..."
I looked up to him before nodding. He grabbed my coat and pulled my to his car. We drove a small while before stopping. I looked up from my hands to see the city in the distance.
"What is this place?"
"The team would throw parties up here...my parents own it." He helped me get out and lead me to the house behind us.
"I might live up here after I graduate. I don't wanna be cooped up in a suite anymore..." he admitted, turning the light on. It was somewhat similar to the Kingsley's cabin upstate, but more modern. I looked around, out the big windows.
"What is with rich people and windows?" I murmured. I felt his hand rest on my hip and pull me to his chest.
"Charlie...what is this?"
"My-"
"No, not the house...us. What are we doing?"
I felt him sighed and placed an open kiss to my neck, "Bad way of comfort..."
I nodded and he started to lead me to a room.
