Charlie's

Chapter 28

EPOV

I turned over in bed, I had the biggest fucking head ache I've had, it felt like I had 60 elephants in there have a fucking party. I was trying to remember what the hell happened last night and why the heck I got so plastered, It's not something I usually do, I mean I drink but I don't do it excessively like last night apparently, when you work with drink and drugs all day you see the effects it has on people, and in my job you can't be shit faced half the time, if you mind ain't on the job, focused 100 per cent of the time you make mistakes that can get you and others killed...so I don't do it.

I felt something on the bed move next to me and stiffened while squeezing my eyes shut...What the fuck happened, I didn't remember bringing anyone home last night, Jesus fuck Bella's gonna kill me I swore I wouldn't cheat on here, Oh god I feel sick. I slowly turned my head to the side without moving to much, careful not to wake the unwelcome visitor, I cracked my eyes open a little and found myself staring into a familiar pair of chocolate-brown orbs.

"Jesus fucking Christ, Don't fucking do that" I snapped at her, she sat there looking shocked as hell, while I let out a sigh in relief and relaxed into the bed.

"What the fuck did I do?" She asked.

"What the hell happened yesterday, I don't remember shit, then I wake up and the bed is moving, I about fucking shit myself thinking I'd done something really fucking bad and brought a slut home" I was ranting, I'm sure half of what I said didn't make sense to her. A sad look took over her face, now she looked scared.

"You don't remember anything that happened yesterday?" She asked, fuck we didn't have sex and I forgot did we?, fuck I didn't wanna miss it.

"We didn't have sex did we, I wanted to remember it at least" I blurted out without thinking.

"No baby we didn't Er..." She looked like she wanted to say something but didn't know how.

"Spit it out what did I do?" Maybe it wasn't so bad I mean she was still here...right?.

"You didn't do nothing baby...do you remember getting all from Sergio last night?" she whispered.

"Yeah he rang to tell me..." I felt my eyes widen, Oh shit, How the fuck could I forget that...fuck

I didn't know what to think, I actually thought that had been some fucked up dream in my drunken stupor. I was again taken over by the same numbing feeling I had yesterday.

More and more was coming back to me as a laid there, I pulled Bella over to me and held her to my chest, I felt comfort just by holding her, I didn't need to hear empty words of how 'It's gonna be OK', or 'How sorry they are for my loss', Words weren't gonna bring my parents back were they?, But I knew I had all that to come.

I wanted to lay in bed all day but I had a lot to do today, I had to get answers, someone out there had my parents killed, I mean it happens all the time in this line of work, But I never expected it to be my pop's...many have tried to kill him in the past and they all failed. That's why he was the best at what he did...how the fuck am I gonna fill his shoes. I've been groomed to take over this spot since I was in my younger teen's but I thought I had years to before I took over, I thought pop would retire then I'd take over, not like this...I wasn't ready.

"I can't do it" I muttered to myself.

"Can't do what baby?" she asked as she rested her chin over my heart and looked at me with those beautiful eyes.

"How the fuck am I gonna fill his shoes Princess?" I didn't really expect her to answer, but she did anyway.

"Well, you don't really have to think about that now, But I have faith in you, you'll do everything in your power to make whatever it is you have bigger a better than it was. I can imagine that will make your pop's proud right?, If you can't do it for yourself do it for him, that's what he would have wanted...I think. I can't be sure I only met him a few time, the times I did meet him you were more like best friends than father and son or even boss and employee." She said.
