⚠️ Warning ⚠️: This Chapter covers the topic of  Suicide. Read at your own risk. BTW I cried making this!
Henry's POV-
It's been 12 years and I'm still in love with the same girl. I first met her when I was 1. I can barley remember it but obviously I know it happened. She moved across the street from me. She was my best friend. She was everything to me. If I had to pick between anything and Charlotte, trust me it's no competition. I first released I loved her in 8th grade. It's was the scariest time of my life. The thing is, she didn't love me back. She just sees me as a friend and I see her as my sassy, lovable, amazing girl who I desperately want to be with. I've been in multiple relationships since I found out I was in love with her. None of them felt right. But she did. She did. I'm in love with her and I still am. But not every story has a happy ending. She's...gone. She disappeared, just like that. It's..sickening. I can't go a day without thinking about her. She disappeared last week. Right after prom. I thought it was my fault because we went to prom together. I miss her so much that I see her everywhere. She feels so real. I still remember the greatest night of my life. It was wrong because she was dating Jaden but it felt so good..and real.
Flashback...
Henry: Hey, Char.
Charlotte: Henry. What's up?
Henry: Nothing, Really. What are you doing?
Charlotte: Obviously, playing basketball.
Henry: You hate basketball.
Charlotte: I know. It's just Jayden is really pissing me off. I need to hit something.
Charlotte have me the basketball and I tried to shoot it but missed.
Charlotte: Wow, we have a real champion.
I look over at her and we realized our faces were only an inch apart. We leaned in and it happened. We kissed.
...End of Flashback
After that she broke up with him. Me and Jasper still see him in the hall but we don't stop and talk. He was a good guy he just made a dumb mistake. They were just fighting. Yes I was jealous but I didn't want to get in the way of her happiness. I remember the day I asked her out.
Flashback...
Charlotte: Henry?
Henry: Hey, Char. I have to tell you something. I've been keeping this in since middle school. I can't keep it in anymore.
Charlotte: Henry?
Henry: Char? I'm in love with you and I have been for such a long time. I was jealous of you and Jayden but I wanted you to be happy. I know you guys have been dating for a while and I didn't want to ask you out right after you broke up because that wouldn't be fair to you or me. I just..Charlotte will you go out with me?
Charlotte: Henry? We've been friends since we were 2. I don't want to ruin the best relationship I've ever had. I just..I don't know what to say.
Henry: Char, if you go out on one date with me and hate me by the end of it. I'll never ask you again.
Charlotte: Henry I can never hate you but..yes, I'll go out will you.
Henry: Really?
Charlotte: Yeah.
We hug for so long. I never wanted to let her go.
...End of Flashback
What I loved about her was...what I love about her was..she's not dead. I can feel that she's still out there. I can feel it. What I love about her is that she almost never wore a dress. She was such a Tom boy and I just feel in love with that. I remember when I first saw her in a dress.
Flashback...
I can't believe I'm going on a date with Charlotte Page. Oh my god. I'm so excited. I'm wearing a dress shirt and dress pants. I heard the doorbell ring and I went to answer it but then Piper came into the room.
Piper: Wait, Wait! Let me record this moment.
She started recording and I opened the door. She looked beautiful. I know it's not a dress but I didn't care. Piper stopped record.
Piper: Nope Charlotte your not going in that.
Charlotte: Why?
Piper: Because, it's a date. Let's go get you into a dress for the first time.
Charlotte: Nooooo.
Piper dragged Charlotte upstairs and I laughed. I thought she looked great. 2 minutes later I looked up the stairs to see the most beautiful girl I've ever been around. She was breathtaking.
Henry: Char I..woah.
Charlotte: Is it that bad?
Henry: No, you look...woah.
Piper: Am I a miracle worker? A little bit.
Charlotte: This feels weird. But I kinda like it.
Henry: Me too. Shall we?
Charlotte: We shall.
Piper: Byeeeee. Have fun.
...End Of Flashback.
After that we went on so many dates. I asked her to be my girlfriend and she said yes. We were scared because we have known each other for so long but it felt right. Jayden was pissed though. After that she wore many dresses they started to grow on her. I loved it. They looked amazing on her. But the bad thing is that we she did. All the boys looked at her ass. I told her that I'll never allow any of them lay a hand on her. She trusted me. She started wearing girly outfits. A lot more. I liked them. More importantly she was mine. I could finally call her mine. But we were only dating for a couple of months before she disappeared. I remember the last time I saw her. It was prom night. A week ago.
Flashback...
Me and Jasper walked to Charlotte's house together. It was prom night and we couldn't wait. We rang the doorbell and her mom answered it.
Henry: Hey Mrs. Page.
Mrs. Page: Henry! Come on in.
We walked into her house and not even moments later she walked down the stairs. She looked amazing.
...End Of Flashback.
Right now I'm going down to the man cave. As soon as I get down there I see Charlotte still in her prom dress laying on the table covered in blood.
Henry: CHAR? What happened?
Ray: We're getting ready to find out who did this to her.
Henry: Hurry!
Ray: Look at the screen. We're going back into her memories. Go back to the night she disappeared Swauz.
Swauz: Okay.
Jasper: Is she going to be okay?
Ray: We don't know.
Swauz: Guys? Look.
Playing on the screen-
Charlotte is walking down the school hall in her prom dress walking away from prom.
Charlotte: I think I made myself very clear. But no one is coming forward to stop me. Some of you care. None of you cared enough. And neither did I.
She looked back down the hall.
Charlotte: And I'm sorry.
...End of Memory
Ray: She committed Suicide.
Henry: No...why did she?
Swauz: Let's go back either in that night. Oh, god. Henry?
Henry: What?
Swauz: Jayden Raped her.
I start hysterically crying. This can't be happening.
2 weeks later...
Me and my family are at Charlotte's funeral. I'm silently crying. I'll never stop loving her. No matter what happens. Me and Ray beat the crap out of Jayden and sent him to jail. Right now, they are getting ready to play a slide show. Of her life. I guess life has many surprises. I wonder what's next?
