Love?

Alone by Choice

Kyle's POV

One minute Miss Harper and I were talking about a new policy that is being rolled out and next thing I knew her tongue was down my throat. I didn't have chance to react as she deepened the kiss more. It took me a second to realise what was happening before I removed myself from her but that second ruined everything. 

I see Charlotte running, tears filling her eyes I push Miss Harper out of the way and start chasing Charlotte. I tried to call her name but she kept going and once she was in her car. She started he car and was gone before I could reach her. What have I done? Not wanting to waste any time I ran back to my car, Miss Harper must've gotten the hint i didn't like her and left because she wasn't there anymore. I got it turned the engine on and followed Charlotte's Car. I sped up a bit to catch up until I was 50m behind her. I turned when she turned; I followed along roads until she pulled up to the place where her house used to stand. 

I stopped my car further down the street. As she got out she put her hood up and walked towards the ruins. Getting out my car I followed from a distance, when I reached the side of the property I looked around and there she sat crying her eyes out, this causing my eyes to fill with tears. I hated when she cried It broke my heart to see her this upset and this time I was the one to cause it this doubling the pain in my chest. 

I walked towards her shaking body, just wanting to run and wrap my arms around her telling her everything's okay I controlled myself as I was probably the last person she wants to see right now. Once I was behind her she didn't seem to realise my arrival 'Charlotte please let me explain' she looked up at me. Her eyes were puffy and red. Her eyes screamed hurt and pain; I fell to my knees in shame. I hurt her and now she hates me but I need her to know I didn't initiate the kiss it was Miss Harper. I close my eyes and bowed my head as the tears slipped out I heard Charlotte get up. 

'Why should I Kyle?' and she was gone. I stayed glued to the spot I didn't want her to see me crying I felt weak. When I heard her car pull away I stood and walked back to my car. When got in my car I just sat there, I'm such an idiot. How could I let her kiss me I had only just worked things out with Charlie and I ruined it. She was already going through problems with trusting me; she'll never trust me now. Slamming my hands on the steering wheel I turned on my car and drove away. 

My tears have stopped but now all I can think of is Charlotte. I didn't know where she had gone all I could hope was that it was a safe and dry place. I didn't drive back to school instead I drove straight to my apartment. When I got into my apartment I dropped onto the couch sighing 'I'm so sorry Charlie'. 

Putting my head in my hands I ran my fingers through my hair, where was she? My worry increased as each minute passed, there was no point trying to look for her if she doesn't want to be found. After having a bite to eat for dinner I spent my evening distracting myself from my worry by grading tests and making lesson plans. AT around 11:40 I went to bed, although sleep didn't come easy, the sleep that did brought dreams of a future Charlie and I could have together but ended in a nightmare as Charlie's form melted away and in her place was Miss Harper. 

Looking behind her I saw Charlotte she was on the ground. Her body covered in blood her face stained with tears 'I hate you' her words slice through me.

'Charlotte NO! Stay with me' I screamed as I ran to her side cradling her in my arms. Her body became limp; I cried a waterfall by her side. When I woke my face was wet with tears and the image of Charlotte's body imprinted in my mind. I thanked God it was all a dream but just hoped the first part would come true and the ending would be different.

Charlotte's POV

Sleeping in a car is never the best idea but when you have a nightmare it's even worse. I dreamt of the day my Father was strangling me, how close I felt to death and then the day at the hospital with the gun to my head. I woke up drenched in sweat, my hair everywhere and I was on the floor between the front and back seats. Everything ached as I sat up right; my car clock read 5:59am. There was no point going back to sleep now so I got out of my car and stretched.
