I never anticipated meeting the Charm sisters this way.
When Nash and I return to the house we are met by a crying Julie. She leads us into the living room where she introduces me to her daughters; Alyssa, and the twins Callie, and Amber.
Alyssa is the oldest of the Charm siblings, being twenty-six, and is studying to be a lawyer at Harvard. She has long brown hair pulled up into a bun and a thin figure. She is wearing a red blouse and a black pencil skirt.
Callie and Amber are both twenty-four and have the same blonde hair. Callie studies music at Julliard and is a dancer. She is wearing a sun dress with a pair of ballet flats. Amber is in school for interior decorating. A pair of black glasses sit on the edge of her nose, and she is wearing a pair of black denim jeans, along with a blue tank.
"Nice to meet you all" I say, looking at the three of them.
"What's going on mom?" Nash asks
"It's Brampton, he's escaped from jail." She answers, looking over at me.
"What the hell! Where is he?" Nash yells, pulling me into his arms in protection.
"We don't know exactly" Answers Alyssa.
Julie is now sitting on the sofa sobbing. I walk over beside her and sit, wrapping my arms around her.
"It'll be okay" I reassure "They will find him".
"He wouldn't even be in this mess if it wasn't for you" Sneers Alex as he enters the room.
"That's not true, he got himself into this. We should have seen it coming." Says Nash, sending him a glare.
"Enough" Julie cuts in. "It's nobody's fault but his own. What's important is that the police find him. Nash, you need to stay with Charlie. Don't let her out of your sight in case your brother comes here."
"Okay, no problem" he answers, coming to grab my hands.
He pulls me up off the couch and envelopes me into his arm. "I will take care of you" Nash whispers into my ear.
"Promise?" I ask
"I promise" he says, giving me a peck on the cheek.

It has been three days since Brampton escaped prison, and there have been no updates. Nash and I have spent literally every minute together. He has even been going into the bathroom with me; which I hate.
We are laying on the couch when Cameron enters the room wearing a captain jack sparrow costume.
"Why are you wearing that?" I laugh
"I'm throwing a costume party tonight. I figured with all the crap that has been happening we should have a little fun." He answers, twirling a strand of the wig between his fingers.
"Sounds fun" Says Nash. He pulls me from the couch along with him and grabs my hand. "Let's go costume shopping!"
We drive to a huge Halloween store, filled with hundreds of different costumes. We make our way over to the adult section.
"Babe you would look so hot in this" Nash says, holding up a very short and tight bunny costume.
"No thanks" I say, looking through the racks. I see a princess Leia, Spiderman, inflatable cow, and Mario costumes.
"What about this one?" Nash says, showing me a sexy ring mistress costume.
"How about I just choose my own" I laugh, throwing a clown nose at him.
"Alright, I'll be over by the men's costumes" He gives me a quick kiss and a smile.
I continue the hunt for a perfect costume and narrow it down to two; tinker bell or a siren of the sea. I decide to go with the siren costume. Its colors are breath taking. The bodice is sequined gold, and the tail is gold with blue sequins. The fin is completely gold. I pick a gold seashell purse, a necklace with starfish and seashells hanging from it and the matching bracelet to accompany the outfit. I have my shoes in my hands which are blue flats with what looks like scales for the pattern. I'm about to go to the front and pay when a sparkling starfish hairclip in the display case catches my eye.
"How much for the starfish clip?" I ask the cashier.
"$400. Those are real pearls and diamonds" She says
"Okay, I will just get this then" I answer, putting my costume, accessories and shoes onto the counter. I pay and leave to wait in the car.
Five minutes pass and there is still no sign of Nash. I decide to play board kings while I wait.
I just unlocked the bunn museum board when he finally climbs into the car
"What costume did you decide on?" I ask
"It's a secret" he answers, tying the bag that holds his costume into a tight knot.
"I think this party is going to be fun." I smile.
"We'll be together, of course it will be" Nash takes my hand and pulls it to his lips, placing a kiss.
*********
It's party time. Cassie and I are in my room getting ready and chatting. She is wearing an Alice in Wonderland costume and is telling me about this boy she has been talking to over the internet named John. They are planning to meet at the party tonight.
"Just be careful okay? You don't know who this guy could be" I advise. "If you have any trouble what so ever, just text and I'll find you."
"I know It's kind of scary, but I'm so excited. The way he makes me feel is incredible." She beams
"I'm happy for you" I say.
Cassie is about to tart my makeup when there is a knock on my door. "Come in" I yell.
The door opens to reveal Nash dressed as Poseidon.
"Hey, you match" says Cassie, looking between the two of us.
"Yeah how exactly did that happen?" I turn towards my boyfriend.
"Well, I may have waited until you left and asked the cashier what costume you had bought. She also told me about this" He says, pulling a box out from behind his back.
I open the box to reveal the starfish hairclip from the store. "Babe, you shouldn't have. It was expensive"
"You are worth all of the money in the world sweetheart. Now put that in your hair and get your cute little butt to the party." He gives me a kiss before he exits the room.
I stare in awe at the gorgeous clip in my hand. Cassie finds the perfect spot amongst my curled hair to place it.
Cassie completes our makeup and we walk out of my room, following the sound of music.
