Charlotte's POV
About two hours after Connor left my house Margo came over in hysterics. She had a worried look on her face and I became as worried as she was.
"Char! Charlotte! Chaaaar!" She was out of breath and tears were in her eyes. "Margo calm down! What happened?"
"It's Connor. He's hurt." she calmed down a little prepared for me to blow up. Tears started streaming down my face and I couldn't speak. I was completely still, almost lifeless, so Margo started shaking me and calling my name. Everything was sort of faded and all I could think about is that my boyfriend/best friend is badly hurt and I don't know what happened.
When I snapped back to reality I grabbed my purse threw on my flip flops and charged out the door. I was wearing my pajamas but I didn't care. I just needed to get to Connor. "He's at Christiana Hospital getting stitches!" Margo yelled before I got in my car.
The tears didn't stop the whole drive and I must have ran 7 red lights because I got there in a heartbeat. I ran into the hospital and went straight to the receptionists desk.
"Connor Lewis where is he?" I yelled at the lady praying she would move faster. But no! She just wanted to have an attitude and take her slow behind time. She looked at me and narrowed her eyes, "are you related to the patient?" she said with a snarky tone. "IM HIS GIRLFRIEND NOW WHERE IS HE?!" She took a loud breath. "Mam calm down he only needed a couple stitches he's not going to die. He's In room 3B but if you could take a seat in out waiting ro-" I cut her off. I can't deal with her right now.
I ran to room 3B ignoring the lady as she yelled for me to come back. When I reached the room my heart dropped. There lay Connor bruises all over his face and stitches on his left leg. "Charlotte?" he managed to say. I ran to him and gave him the longest kiss ever. I was so happy to see he was okay but I needed to get to the bottom of this. I pulled back first and his face was stunned like I took his breath away. My mind was loaded with questions.
"Connor who did this to you? Are you okay? I'm so sorry we shouldn't have argued!!! I love you okay!" and I kissed his again.
"Char calm down I'm fine, and I love you too." He said. The look in his face went from shocked to relived. Seeing him safe made my day and I think he feels the same way. But I shot him a look back telling his to tell me what happened.
"I'm not really sure what happened. I remember buying you a shirt and some earrings and a necklace that I was gonna give you to apologize when some guy from out school came over to me. I can't remember who he was but he was wearing all black and we talked for a minuet or two before he beat me and then left. The doctor said I got a small concussion when I black out. I'm fine though."
My face turned red, my blood was boiling. I was beyond angry. Who would do that?! "Do you know if you did anything to make the person mad?" I asked. I needed to calm down before I exploded into a million pieces.
"All I remember is that he said something about you." He began to touch my shoulder as if to calm me down. I was shaking and he know I do that when I'm angry.
"WHEN I FIND OUT WHO DID THIS I WILL-" Connor cut me off. "No char. Your not going to do anything. Whoever did this is trouble and I don't want anything to happen to you. Promise me." he got a serious look on my face and stared into my eyes. It's so hard to resist, those looks he give you is enough to convince a stranger to give him a million dollars.
"Fine" I rolled my eyes. If only I didn't have to lie to him. Of course I was going to do something. "Oh wait! Take this bag. It has the gift I was gonna give you." He caught me before I walked out. I gave him a hug and one final kiss before heading out the hospital. "
Whoever did this was not going to get away and I would make sure of that. They were going to be sorry.
Margo's POV
I stayed at Charlotte's house for a while after she left and I got a text from Connor. I didn't even have to read it because I know what it was about. I forgot he is getting discharged from the hospital today and I was supposed to pick him up. And leave it to me to be late. I hopped in my cat and drove to the hospital. I just walked back to his room because the receptionist has some attitude that I don't feel like dealing with.
"Your late!" Connor says pointing to the clock above the doorway. I looked to see that I was ten minuets late. "So you had to wait ten minuets? When your watching Pretty Little Liars time slips away okay?" We both laughed a little and then left the hospital. We agreed he could stay at my house for a day or two because we weren't sure if things would be better between him and Char at this point. I honestly don't know if they made up or not. They have the weirdest relationship ever.
We reached my house and went upstairs. "Okay Connor, the guest room is yours for the day okay? Please try not to mess it up." My parents weren't going to be home for a while so it was okay.
"Sure thing." he winked and set his stuff down on the floor. I hadn't completely gotten over what Connor did. It was awkward and he scared my mind for life. If he wasn't the kind of person that was so quick to rush into things I would actually feel okay with him dating Charlotte but that's not the case.
"Geez my leg is in pain. Can I have my medication now?" He gripped his leg. "Sure. It says two tablets every 8 hours." I handed him his pills and a cup of water. Once he got them down we decided to watch a movie. Divergent. Charlotte, Connor, and I all saw the movie together and now were obsessed with it. We finished the movie and I turned to look at Connor. "okay what movie is next?"
"Let's watch the movie with the pretty unicorns and the flowers in it!" he said excitedly. I guess his medicine was starting to kick in, it's supposed to make him weary and a little loopy. I laughed and turned to get The Hunger Games. When I sat back down Connor was staring at me. "Earth to Connor! You there?" I said waving my hand in his face.
"Yes I'm here, you just have the most beautiful eyes." I blushed and He scooted closer to me. We met each other gaze and he broke it when he leaned in and kissed me! Man he's a good kisser. When he pulled back I started to feel so guilty. This was crazy! He's dating Char! I can't tell her, shell never forgive me! I looked at Connor to see him knocked out on the couch. I ran my fingers through my hair processing what just happened. I just kissed Connor!!!
Charlotte's POV
I got in my car and rode back home. Margo had left so it was just me again. I went upstairs and took a shower. Hospitals make me feel all dirty and germy. I don't know why.
When I got out I blow dried my hair and threw it in a bun. Since it was just me at home I threw on black shorts and a blue and white crop top shirt. I looked down to see a tilly's bag on the floor. I forgot Connor bought me something! I opened the bag to see a navy blue shirt that says "I Love You To The Moon And Back" on it with stars and a moon. This boy is too sweet. Then I saw a little black box and I gasped when I saw a gorgeous heart necklace and diamond earrings. It was so beautiful and the most thoughtful gift anyone has ever gotten me. I was totally blushing even though no one was around. It made me feel special to know he cared about me and thought about me that much.
At the bottom of the bag I saw a note. It read:
Dear Charlotte:
Sorry I did this to your boyfriend. He deserves it after what he did to you! I know you are hurt and you deserve so much better than a guy like him.
Love always,
