Unexpected

Restless

Harry's POV

Charlie is amazed at my flat. She goes around and looks at all the furnishings with a big smile on her face and that makes me happy. Normally if someone said they didn't like me I wouldn't care but for some reason it bothers me that she doesn't.

"Would you like some dinner?" I ask and walk into the kitchen.

"That would be awesome!" I can tell she is hungry by the way she follows me into the kitchen.

She sits at the bar in silence as I make grilled cheese. I can feel her looking at me but I don't turn around. Once the sandwiches are done I hand her one and take a seat next to her.

"Thank you so much Harry."

"Well its no big deal I mean, a sandwich is pretty easy to make." I say with a little laugh.

"No I mean for letting me stay."

" Really Charlie its no big deal. I get lonely coming back to this huge place all alone." I reach to put my hand on her shoulder but she clinches at the contact. I try to ignore but it just hits me wrong. Like a little bit of her past is showing through that one tiny gesture.

"Come on I'll show you where your room is." I take her empty plate and lead her to the guest suite.

I open the door and her eyes go wide at the size of the bed. I laugh as she makes her way over and flops down.

" The bathroom is right across the hall and my room is down the hall on the right." I make my way to her door.

"Goodnight Charlie."

"Goodnight Harry"

Charlies POV

I am running as fast as I can but I can hear him behind me. I can see my car in the distance and I need to get to it. 30 meters,20 meters. Almost then I feel him push me. I hit the ground hard and feel myself being lifted up.

"Chance..no....please!" I cry as I see him pull the knife out of his coat.

"Too late princess." He gives a nasty smirk and slides the blade into my ribs.

I fall to the ground as he walks away. I lay there hoping that I will die soon and be rid of the pain,not just the physical but the emotional. I feel someone pull me from under my arms but I cant see who.

"Charlie wake up." They're playing with my hair now.

"Charlie wake up. " Wake up?

I feel my eye lids opening and I take a gasp of air. I see Harry kneeling by my bed and he is pushing hair out of my hot face. I sit up and wipe my forehead as he makes his way to sit on the bed

" Who's Chance?" I feel my body tense at the mention of his name..

" No one."

"Well obviously he's someone if you had a dream about him."

"Just stop okay!" I see the surprised look on his face as I snap.

" You don't know anything about my life and I will never tell you! Just keep out of it!" He puts his hands up in mock surrender and stands up.

"I'm sorry I just though I could help but I'm a User remember?" He shakes his head and walk out of my room.

I look down at the sheets as my face soaks with tear. I push everyone away. I wish I could act more like an adult. I need to get over this but I can't. It went on for so long and no one was there to help no one even knew. I don't trust any man they're all the same, useing girls for their pleasure then dumping them when they see someone more attractive. I guess some truly want to help but very few. I just don't think Harry is one of them. He is probably hoping that I will become another one of his toys to thank him for letting me stay, but that wont happen. I should probably leave but I have nowhere else to go.
