Charlies POV

"I'm going out." I said gruffly, slamming the door to our flat. I placing my snapback on my head backwards, I walk outside to the forest.

I need some air. And space and that is the only place I can do that clearly. I look down.

I don't want to bump into anyone I know.

Until I bump into someone I don't know that is.

I slam into someone and I look up, hoping it wasn't anyone I knew.

My eyes hit beauty. Real Beauty. Not beauty with makeup caked on your face. 

I blinked, I hope I wasn't staring. She looked up at me and raised an eyebrow. I didn't know she could look any cuter. Wow, snap out of it Charlie.

"Dude!" she said, her light brown eyes staring at me. Judging me.

I need to apologize. "Oh my god, I'm so sorry love." 

Why did I say love? Ugh, shes gonna think I'm a freaking pedophile now. Her features soften and I smile. She doesn't return it. Nice first impression dick.

"Yeah." She says, stubbornly. I walk past awkwardly, muttering apologies while looking back one more time. Will I ever see her again? 

Thinking about it, I haven't seen her around here before, is she new? On holiday? Recently moved? 

I try and shake her out of my head. She looked way older than me. I'm only 15 for gods sake! She looked about 17 but she wasn't very tall?

Ugh, forget about her.

I continue my walk to the forest, entering the grassy area.

I spot the lake and I sit on my usual branch, smiling. This has always been my Happy Place and I can always unwind here.

I close my eyes and sing.

"Her eyes were the colour of the sea.

She was standing there looking at me.

I felt something deep inside

I'm lost I've got nowhere to hide."

I opened my eyes and grinned, realizing I just made a song up on the spot.

And it was about her.

~~~~~OKay, I wrote that tiny bit of the song. Don't hate, I cant write. Sorry short update :/
