Love?

Hurt again

Kyle's POV

I hadn't seen Charlotte all morning. One of the lovely office ladies gave me the bag of clothes I had given Charlotte, so this gave me hope that she was here at school. To confirm my suspicions I checked her attendance whilst my class was working, it said she had gone to art but what I found was strange was that all her music classes had been removed. It should've said Music 2nd  spell but it was empty. This meaning she had a free, this must be a mistake. I checked my roll for senior music she wasn't on it any longer. What was going on? It was like she was completely avoiding me but what had I done wrong all I did was tried to help and if it's about the kiss she's said she wanted it and she kissed back!? This girl was really confusing me, one minute she wants me and the next she drops music, and does everything to avoid me.

 When 2nd  spell was over I walked out of the class and down the corridor, I really needed to take a breather. After turning multiple corners I looked up and there she stood her grey eyes meeting mine. I had been searching for hours for her and now that I've finally found her I'm at a loss of words 'Charlie?' she tenses up and I take a step closer closing the gap between us.

'Charlie I've been so worried, why did you leave the hospital? I couldn't find you, I was afraid that someone had got you or that you were hurt. I told you I didn't care what happens to me as long as you're safe and when I saw your house I almost broke. I thought you had died' I started crying. Charlotte's eyes filled with tears as well but she kept them in. 

'Kyle, I didn't leave because I don't care, I left because I knew I would just end up hurting you later on. I couldn't put you through that. You may not care what happens to you but I do and I can't let it happen because of me.' She turned away from me and her body began shaking as she let her tears fall. Stepping around her I wrapped my arms around her. Her arms came around my waist as she cried into my chest. 

'Shh its okay Charlotte. I'm here' I kept repeating this to her until her tears stopped. Even after she stopped crying I held on to her 'Charlie, let's go to my office' I loosened my grip around her to see her nod as the two of us walked side by side down the corridor and round the corner to my office.

James' POV

So the tale continues huh. I had stumbled across Charlotte and Mr Rivers in a heated conversation before they both broke down crying and began comforting each other in a hugging embrace. This pissed me off so much, he is a teacher and she can hug him but oh no when I guy the same age sits next to you it's run, run, run. This girl was so complicated but she would never leave my mind. When the two walked off I followed at a distance so they wouldn't notice me. After they turned the corner I saw them enter his office. Placing myself close enough to the door I tried listening to the conversation but the only thing I could hear was Charlotte crying. Oh how I wish to be the one in there holding her close, protecting her from the evils of the world. I walked away; if I stayed much longer I knew I would barge in and take Charlotte in my arms. I had to keep control, for now at least anyways.

Charlotte's POV

I wouldn't let him see me cry again, I turned away but he had different ideas and stepped in front of me. He's muscular arms wrapped around my shoulders, at first I was hesitating about if I should hug him back but decided it was what I wanted. I placed my arms around his waist line a cried into his shirt, every few seconds he would reassure me that it's okay and eventually my tears stopped. 

When my tears subsided I still held him close 'Charlie, let's go to my office' he said as he pulled away from our embrace, giving him a small nod I began to think about how much I already missed being in his arms, I finally felt safe in this world. Neither of us said anything as we walked to his office. As we walked in the memories of the day we first kissed flashed in my mind, how I ran out after telling him I wasn't worth his love and care. He must've noticed me staring at the two chairs.
