Such a dramatic story so far.

Charlie takes me home today. I was really surprised when Charlie said I could stay with him. He was the best friend I could have. My head still hurt, but I didn't even care. This was Charlie's day. This day is all about him.

"Charlie, go to the ice rink. Please.." I beg him. "You should rest, mer." I give him puppy dog eyes and he does as I ask. I get out of the car and we walk into the rink. "Happy birthday,Charlie ." I say to him and hug him. "Meryl. You should be resting! Not skating. "He argues. I ignore his protesting.We both lace out skates and we skate hand in hand. I know I look pale.

I feel absolutely aweful. "Meryl, are you okay?" "Yeah, I'm fine." I lie to him. We keep skating together. I slide to the benches and sit down. "Meryl!" Charlie says worriedly. "Why couldn't you listen for once. TESSA." He calls over our friend who is at the rink. Tessa and Scott come. "Here, drink this" Tessa tells me. "I'm fine." Charlie picks me up in his arms.

"Thank you Tessa and Scott." We go to the car and I sleep the ride home. I know I over worked myself. I just didn't want to break a ritual. When I wake up we are just walking through the doors to his house. "How are you feeling?"

"Better." I reply. "You look better.why did you insist on skating?" He asks me. "Every year for our birthdays we spend the whole day skating. I didn't want to ruin the tradition. " I breathe out the words.

"Well, thank you but,I would've been happier knowing you weren't putting yourself in danger. Either way it was an amazing day just spending time with you. Now why don't we watch a movie?" I nod and he puts in shark tales. By the end of the movie in curled up by Charlie quickly falling asleep.

That's when I realize there was something more than friendship...

Cliffhanger! But anyway... Soon the journals will be coming in to play. Once again I hope you like it.

So I'm trying to find out what Meryl uses in her hair and I'm pretty sure it's angel piss.

Yep I'm a weirdo. - Courtney
