Not the one to fight?

Part 4

I was still crying, I don't know what time it was, but it was still dark.
I wanted to leave but where would I go? no where, I'd have to live on the streets.
There was a knock on the bedroom door, I didn't get up to answer it I didn't even make a sound, I wiped my eyes and saw a shadow walking near me.
"Hey I'm sorry if Leo upset you its just-"
It was Charlie, at least I can talk to him with out getting annoyed
"Charlie honestly it's fine, just had a flashback, a sad one but I'm fine"
"What was the flashback of?"
Wow he's just full of questions!
"A boy I used to be close with he left me when I needed him most, Leo reminds me of him..."
I lied okay I'm sorry, you probably wanted me to tell him right? Yep that's what I thought, I don't know Charlie well maybe he'll go tell him or I don't know, but I will tell him soon I promise I just want to see how Leo acts.

Charlie left and I went to sleep, curled up in a ball, I sleep like that because I feel safe like no one can hurt me, silly I know but I need to feel safe I haven't in a long time.
Morning came fast, I was up, showered and dressed before 8am record for me, normally don't get out of my bed till 12pm or unless someone physically drags me out.
I was sitting on the sofa putting my shoes on and Leo walked out, AWKWARD!!
"Hey" he said, he had that low morning voice, probably just woken up I mean he could sleep for Britain
"Morning" I replied not looking at him, awkward eye contact is not what I need when I feel this happy and awake in the morning it will just put me in a bad mood.
"Where are you going?"
Do these boys live off questions? Oh my days,
"Going to get some Starbucks!" I said that kind of annoyed, I want my damn coffee and he's holding me up, I walked to the door,
"Wait!" He called "I'll come with you"
What? No he is not coming with me before I could say anything he had slipped some shoes on and was pulling me out the door,
"Why'd you come with me, I don't need you to get coffee?" Oh that sounded rude well done Lois!
"I wanted to spend time with you, I'm sorry for what happened yesterday I didn't mean to make you upset" he looked really sad I didn't know what to do,
"Look Leo it's fine I over reacted"
He looked at me for a bit while waiting in the line at Starbucks
"What?" I asked not sounding too rude
"Just, it's just you remind me of this girl I knew when I was little, man I loved that girl and you remind me of her, sorry"
I felt my heart in my throat, I had to do something.
"Leo?"
"Yea?"
"I... I am that girl"
