Charlotte's POV
I woke up seeing orange hair and a beautiful face. She looks so peaceful when she sleeps but I frown at the thoughts of yesterday. Her crying the first time I saw her in Finn's room, her wincing every time she moved, and when I woke up in the middle of the night when I heard her screaming and crying. When she begged me to not leave her and I have no idea why.
I then felt a hand on my waist and she pulled herself closer to me. She kept her hand on my waist and I stayed still wanting to know what will happen if I didn't move. I then felt her rub circles on the side of my waist. I was scared to move so I stayed still. She then buried her head in my neck and she was so close that I could feel her breathing. I then felt her lips brush my neck and I immediately decided to pretend to wake up again. When I tried to sit up, she pulled me back down and replaced her hand on my waist. "Don't move," she said.
I then stayed still and decided to carefully put my arms around her back and pull her closer to me. She rested her head on my shoulder while she put her arms around me and I had my arms around her. I enjoyed times like these when it was just us two. Not doing anything but enjoying each other's presence. "Hey Charlotte," I hear her raspy voice say. "Yea Bex," I reply back.
"Now that we're calm and it's a perfect time, can I please explain myself to you?," I hear her say and I mentally sigh not wanting to argue. "Bex, can we not talk about this now and just relax," I say as I brush some of her orange hair out of her face. "Fine but when," I hear her say. "I don't know but just drop this subject and don't bring it up," I say and she tries to sit up but falls back down again. "Hey take it easy. I'll help you," I say as I sit up and grab her hands and pull her up carefully.
"You want me to bring you to the living room to get a towel and help with your bruises?," I ask and she nods. I get up off the bed and was about to pick her up bridal style but she just jumped into my arms automatically. She hooked her legs around my waist and put her arms around my neck. "You could've let me picked you up bridal style but this works too," I say bringing her to the couch.
I look at my phone to see it's 12:57. Well we definitely overslept. I get the towel and soak it in warm water while Becky begins to take off her shirt. "How bad does it hurt on a scale of one to ten," I say as I walk over to her. "Um a 6.5" she said. I gently place the towel on her back and I hear her take a deep breath. "So how was your date with AJ yesterday," she said with a little bit of sadness in her voice.
"It was good. I had a great time with him but I left early and came back here," I say. "How come?," she asked and I take a deep breath before continuing. "Well, when we were in the elevator and you said that you had to go to Finn. I was worried about you and thank god I came. He only beat you and he didn't do anything else so that's what I'm grateful for," I say and I feel her shake before she starts talking again. "You do know that he raped me before," she said with her voice cracking in the middle of her sentence.
"I know but I'm just grateful he didn't do it again yesterday," I said and I still felt her shake. "Bex, turn around and look at me," I say in a calm voice but she doesn't turn around. "Please," I said and she slowly turned around. She had tears in her eyes and I wiped them away and grabbed her face gently to make her look at me.
"Listen, I know he did it before to you and I'm sorry that happened. You don't deserve something like that and if there's anything you want, I'll do it to make you feel better," I say while pulling her into a hug. "Anything?," She said with a little smile. "Yea" I say. "Well since you said anything. Can I just stay here for the next days since I don't want to stay with Finn and I want to borrow some of your clothes to wear," she said.
"Stay here as long as you want. It doesn't bother me one bit," I say with a smile causing her to return it. "Another thing, why do you always want to wear my clothes? Especially when you sleep and after we had that argument between us," I ask and she looks at me embarrassed. "I wear your clothes because they smell like you and after the argument, I wasn't able to be with you at all. Your scent calms me down and as for when I'm sleeping, I can't sleep peacefully without you or your clothes. I just feel weird without it and I know I'm sounding like a crazy person and all bu-," I cut her off by connecting my lips with hers.
