1 MONTH TO THE PRESENT DAY...
[ JASPER'S POV ]
I have to be honest I always knew there was something going on between Henry and Charlotte. The fleeting looks he gives, while she blushes across at him, we've been the three of us forever how can I not notice these things. And this. This gives proves it, Charlotte longingly sitting on his bed looking through his private messages.
'I knew it! I was right - Patina didn't believe me and I was right!' I punch the air as she stares up at me trying to hide the watch with her hand, clearly worried.
'Knew what?'
For someone who revealed her secret relationship, she had a pretty dead pan voice. But she shouldn't, I wouldn't tell anyone, other than Patina. And maybe Ray, Ooooo and Schwoz.
'That you're dating Henry!'
She scoffs and rolls her eyes.
'Not this again Jasper. We weren't dating the first time and neither are we today!' I nod, maybe she's telling the truth maybe she isn't, but somethings defiantly up.
'Then why are you scooping around in his room?' She relcuntaly brings out Hen's watch from the Man Cave, and throws it over to me.
'He's hiding something Jasper - Ray keep referring back to something they talked about back at January at the meal. I don't know what it is but something's wrong with him, more than we thought.' Henry can't really be hiding something from us that big, can he? That's not something Henry would do, I guess he has been more closed off with us lately and then there's the whole T.R.U.T.H. issue. Eager for answers, I press play on the newest message where Charlotte had clearly already listened to half.
'Come on, Kid, you need to contact me back, please.' I can see Charlotte holding her breath for the next part - she's now as much in the dark as I am, 'Look, Kid, I know you think what you're doing is wrong, that you're betraying their trust - they're your friends, they're going to understand... whatever side you choose.'
The message goes fuzzy, as it slowly flickers off, leaving us once again in the darkness of his room. I turn the watch off and shove in back in a draw, past his clothes and junk to the back.
'I don't get what he would be hiding? He can tell us anything! And what sides? Why does Henry think he's going to betray us!' And for the first time ever Charlotte looks on the verge of tears and I can't help but feel the same. Placing the watch down my hand hits something metal. It's cold and smooth, it feels out of place next to the warmth of his clothes. Curiousity takes hold as I yank the object closer to me, and then I instantly know what it is. Because I have the same thing shoved away in my draw. Char's interest peaks as I lift up a cylinder case of glowing orange orbs.
'The T.R.U.T.H. they sell these!' I whisper as I open the lid. My fingers pluck one up but before I can pop it into my mouth, Charlotte stops me.
'We don't know what these do, for all we know these could be dangerous!' She places her hands around mine as she shuts the lid,'But I guess one thing we know is this is what he's been hiding.'
So I love this chapter so much, I don't know why but I feel like the characters finally feel more real, so I hope you are enjoying it much more now. Hopefully my writing is getting a tad better.
